User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star E71 A BAD SELECTION
I bought this phone because “is a nokia, is a good Cellphone” when I received this phone, on the top of the front mask have a little open. then I insert a micro SD and the phone no work properly, when I press on the top of front mask phone display “REMOVE MEMORY CARD AND PRESS OK”

I lost maybe ten o more pictures take with the camera, the phone erase it.

I NOT RECOMMEND THIS PHONE.

5 Stars Nokia E71 - Best Business phone
The nokia E71 is a remarkable phone. i recently purchased this phone, and i am well pleased. the design of the phone is great. its small, thin, yet, not flimsy. its metal body is a very smart and unique design. it gives the phone this feel that you have something valuable in your hands. that’s the best way to describe it.

the pros to the device

the phone does everything i can imagine a business user, or anyone who has lots of meetings, could need. your documents will open fine, i.e. pdf, excel, word, p.point. you can also install some nice games and software on this and it runs the games well.

this phone is feature LADEN.

you will take a while to go through it all.

the phone is very fast. i barely feel a lag, unless i am running some programs (google maps, msn messenger, google messenger, etc) in the background and even so, we are talking about 1.5second delay. barely noticeable.

the concern i heard about the keyboard is true. man, its crammed, BUT, i noticed that even though my fingers are big, i have little problems and typos using this device. in other words, the keyboard is fine. once you get used to your keys… you’ll be fine. i dont know how nokia does it but.. they know how to make the keys work for anyone.

the features are all great. wi/fi works jus as though you are on your pc… the browser is SWEET and the zoom feature doesnt make it too hard for you to read the stuff on the sites. youtube works without a prob.

battery life.

battery life is pleasant. its very hard to drain this phone if you are only gonna talk on it. however, if you are gonna be using wifi, bluetooth and listening music all day… you will run your batteries down and have to charger every two days, vs three days. not bad in my book. i tested this phone on a full day basis and… at the end of each day, there is enough power to carry into the next day. running the batters by playing music kinda leaves me half way at the end of the day.

Cons

camera is really a pain. seriously!

why does nokia do this to us? why must they always hold back on features that can make their phones THE BEST period?

let me explain… its a 3.2mega pixel cam.. but its a “daytime” camera. meaning… the pics are best when in the blazing sun, with no clouds… if pics are taken in that type of light - you will be pleased. however, anything less will be grainy (noisy) sometimes. you cant take pics in the dark or shadow areas and expect good camera quality. forget it. the flash is not like on the N82. its nothing like a digital camera’s flash. its really only for close pics… and even then.. you have to have good to excellent lighting to get pleasing results. please dont try and take professional pictures with this.

The headset

The headset nokia gives with this phone is… well, crap. its light in sound. no bass for music no matter how you adjust equalizers. (well, its so low is nonexistent) and i didnt really like the design. i dont see how i am supposed to walk with it on the road when on cord for the right ear is so long… its annoying to have it dangling plus it gets caught in stuff and tugs and one day, if you’re not careful, it will burst.

2.5mm headphone jack.

disappointing to me. i wont deny it. 3.5mm is greatly preferred, however. contrary to what many think… with the right headphones, this phone is an excellent mp3 player. so, dont despair. jus get a nokia headset that is designed for music and you are good to go.

overall, i gave this 5 stars because… the camera doesnt bother me. hardly use it, and when i do its to take pics of people to add to my address book. those are great.

when i walk with this phone, its a pleasure to take it out and watch people bending over backwards to see it. nokia is the best there is even if they refuse to max out their phones in top class features.

4 Stars Great Phone- information could be better
Having read most of the reviews already posted, you should know that this is generally very powerful, high quality phone. That said, a few items frustrated me. Because of the amount and sophistication of the features of this phone, documentation is necessary, but lacking. Both writtena and on-line. Many of the features are several layers deep, and when you think you have figured out the general operating philosophy of the software, another application sets up completely differently.

Nokia’s support is prompt, but obviously just paraphrases steps in the Users’ Guide when responding to a question.

The browser is a step up from the Palm Treo, and the navigation takes some getting used to. Don’t expect it to be i-Phone like. On a 3G network it is fast and functional, but not a replacement for a “PC style” browser.

Be prepared to spend some time tinkering with settings and looking in odd places to change values. This is a powerful, useful and quality item, but you are pretty much on your own putting it to full use.

5 Stars Best smartphone out there
Have had the E71 for about a week and so far I love the phone. I really did my research on smartphones before I made the decision to go with the E71.

Things I love about the phone:

-Operating system is very easy to use and the phone is very fast.

-Love the web browser, pages load quickly and clearly with vibrant color on both wifi and through ATT service

-Love the voice activated features on the phone which I am still learning about. I really like how the phone can read your text messages to you and how the phone will say the name of the person calling so if I am driving and it’s somebody I don’t want or need to talk to I don’t even have to pick up my phone.

-The size of this phone is amazing with all of the features on this phone like the full QWERTY keyboard and large screen that it is so small. My company uses Blackberrys or Motorola and in comparing the build quality, size, and features they don’t really come close to the E71. The Blackberry phones are bulky and have a very unimpressive, cheap plastic build. With the slim dimensions of the E71 this phone fits in my pocket easier and more comfortably than my old Motorola C139.

-Above all the call quality on the E71 is the best I have ever had in a cell phone and the sound quality is amazingly clear and reception is always good. I paired up my E71 with a Nokia bluetooth headset and even on Bluetooth and on the freeway people have commented that I don’t even sounds like I am in a car with almost no background noise.

I researched just about all smartphone brands for about 2 months before purchasing the E71 so I want to also give my opinions on some of the common “dislikes” or “cons” about this phone from the reviews I have read or seen and provide my opinions:

- The phone is completely customizable which according to some reviews is good and bad. Bad if you are someone who isn’t very “tech savvy” and good if you just want something like the IPHONE that is completely setup for you when you buy it. MY OPINION: I am not the most tech savvy person and with this being my first smartphone and scrolling through the different menus and setup screens I found the phone was very easy to setup the first day I got it. I like for example how there are multiple profiles you can setup for the E71 which include setups for ringtone, text tone, email tones, et cetera that you can program into a specific profile so if you are in a meeting and you need to silence your phone you can just switch to the “meeting” profile. With there being about 7 or 8 profiles you can setup, you can setup your phone to have a multitude of profiles depending on your setting. If you can’t find an application or screen there is a handy help menu and you just simply type in what you are looking for and you get detailed instructions for either finding the application or setting it up. If you want to get back to the home screen, there is a home key that you click to get back to the home screen along with other handy keys next to the scroll key to get to commony used screens quickly. Conclusion: The phone is very easy to navigate and setup.

Non-standard 2.5mm headphone jack: This seems like more a minor annoyance than anything. I have had the phone about a week and used everything on it from calling, calendar, and MP3 player and I have not had any problems with this not having a standard 3.5mm jack. I don’t see any problems here.

Camera: The camera takes slightly above average photos in outdoor/sunlight but below average indoors with the flash with the 3.2MP camera. Bottom line, if you want camera quality on a cell phone comparable to your DSLR or point and shoot digital camera than you’re going to spend a lot more $$ and have a phone much bulkier and thicker than the very compact E71. So in the end there is a tradeoff. If you want to also use a cell phone to take family pictures and other important events than you’d probably want to go with the Nokia N95 but again the N95 costs at least $100 more and 0.8″ thick (double the E71) so it costs more and isn’t exactly pocketable like the E71.

Fingerprints: The fingerprints show up on the back panel pretty easily and I consider this a minor annoyance. Nokia would have done better to make the entire backside of the phone the dark gray color as opposed to making the removable plate a chromed titanium.

Summary: For the price and comparing this phone to other phones like the IPHONE and Blackberry Bold, the E71 doesn’t have a couple of things the IPHONE does and EVERYTHING the Blackberry has for much cheaper than both. The E71 doesn’t have the large touchscreen of the IPHONE but the IPHONE also doesn’t have video recording like the E71. Considering the IPHONES and Blackberry Bold new are still $500+ and I was able to get the E71 for about $330, the E71 provides a much greater value.

4 Stars Great phone with a few things to be desired
I bought this phone for my husband in January and another one for myself in March. That shows how much I like this phone. Beyond everyone’s ravings, here are some points from my personal experience with the phone:

1. battery life is not as long as claimed in the product info. My husband’s phone lasts about 2.5 to 3 days with one full charge. He uses it for voice calls only with about 30 minutes daily talk time. I typically get more functions of my phone with usually 10-20 short phone calls, a dozen text messages, 10-30 minutes podcast and checking emails with wifi 3 to 5 times a day. My phone’s battery indicator gets down to the last 2 bars by the end of day. So I have been charging it daily.

2. Good language support but less ideal than iPhone. I bought the North American version so the phone comes with English, French and Spanish. I was able to install Asian fonts on both my phones without much hassle. My iPhone came with the option to change languages out of box.

Notwithstanding the above, I truly appreciate the beauty and functionality of the phone - otherwise I wouldn’t have bought two!
