For just a couple of days with the Nokia E71, I can definitely say that it is the most equipped and best smartphone from Nokia. Although there are some downside on the phone but it is understandable and expected from a small phone.
The new Nokia E71 is just a palm size of 57 mm. It is much smaller than Nokia E61i, 70 mm. The Big N amazingly trimmed down E71’s thickness to just 10 mm compared to E61i that is still 13.9 mm.
It is the slimmest of all E business series of Nokia. It is way much slimmer than Nokia E51 at 12 mm. It is as slim as Nokia 5310 XpressMusic series and Nokia 6500 Classic, but with full features that you can enjoy!
Due to size constraints, Nokia E71 screen display got narrower from an original size of 2.8 inches with Nokia E61 to 2.36 inches with 320×240 pixels resolution. This wonderful smartphone comes with QWERTY keyboard, although the keys are little too crowded.
However, Nokia did a reasonable trade off from these because the keys are embossed beautifully to prevent users from accidentally hitting the neighboring keys. When I tried the keypads, I never imagine that typing from these keypads would be as comfortable as what it looks.
E71 number keys are not confusing to use compared to other smartphones because its number keys are positioned at the center. This makes them easily type even using a single hand.
It terms of connectivity, Nokia E71 provides everything for you. It comes with 3G and HSDPA of 3.6 Mbps. It is also amazingly WiFi ready with 802.11b/g. It has a built in GPS receiver and an awesome A-GPS function. E71 has Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP and an Infra red connection.
Nokia E71 has an internal memory of 110MB, which is smaller than E51 that has a 130 MB of memory. However, there is a dedicated process of ARM 11 369 MHZ and a RAM with 128 MB that makes E71 responsive effectively. What is good about Nokia E71 is its additional storage of a maximum of 8GB using a microSD card.
If you are a cellphone camera lover, the only downside that I can think of is its camera. Nokia E71 comes with a reasonable 3.5 mega pixel camera with a pixilated resolution of 2048 X 1536 pixels.
It is truly more of a business phone. Nokia E71 has a good audio quality and sound. The phone supports MPEG video playback and 3D tones.
It even comes with pre-installed productivity tools and software goodies like QuickOffice, Adobe PDF reader, Dictionary, Printer manager, and Zip. There is even an Intranet feature to protect your privacy and security when connecting in your office network using VPN. It is truly a good and a worth buy for Nokia E71.
