CNET Asia Review
Excellent
The good: Slim and stylish design; solid build quality; full range of wireless features; works right out of the box; snappy performance; excellent battery life. 8.7
out of 10View score
The bad: Counter-intuitive camera autofocus; media browser could do with a little upgrade; Easy Dial feature not available.
The bottom line: The Nokia E71 is easily one of the best QWERTY smart phones that combine strong features as well as a good balance between business and entertainment, at a competitive price.

Opinion:
Very easy to operate. Had a 9500 communicator earlier. E71 is so light compared to the 9500 that sometimes I am not sure whether I am carrying it...
