Strong, slimmed-down Qwerty business device
Jul 4, 2008 09:17 AM
The new E71 handset is certainly a welcome to the E-Series handset range. The device has a faster processor than its predecessor with its new offering of HSDPA, assisted GPS (for Nokia Maps), 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, an accelerometer for screen rotation, upgraded calendar application and a new home-screen application.Web Browsing Problems
Jul 11, 2008 05:46 PM
I have been using this phone for all of 2 weeks and I am very satisfied with it. I only have one thing that is bothering me.When I browse the web, with my GSM, the Opera browser seems very slow, and often the connection times out. Now at first I thought perhaps it was my provider and data plan that was slow at that momment, but I have now tried my web connection on my laptop through the E71, and it was much faster and never had a connection time out.
I have never encountered this when using my Touch Cruise with my gsm card either. Does anybody know what this is?

Hey there,I got this phone for about US$500 on the first day of release, and then it went up afterwards due to strong demand and insufficient supply, or so I am told.
The best money for value phone out there, actually the best phone I have ever known period. Hope that helps.
regards,
Manov

Hey,You can make a side-by-side comparison at www.nokia.com.sg...
In Singapore, they're priced around S$600 plus. Both features are almost the same.
E71 is much slimmer and has a bigger screen size. Personally, it looks cooler and more executive like.
Personally, I'm using E71. So far, I'm very satisfied with the performance. I've not used E66 before, therefore I can't tell you which is better.
However, I like the E71 more because of its look and more importantly, qwerty keyboard.
