I have had my Nokia for over a year now (since August 2008). I have used it for my main PDA and it does this very well. No problems with linking it to my POP email or gmail account. Nokia Maps worked fine, but I found it frustrating we had to pay each month - once my free trial ran out I switched to Garmin XT. I have cracked my screen, and now sufferred some water damage. Thinking about replacing it, have had a blackberry for some months (from work), probably going to replace it with another E71 or iphone 3GS (but this is much more expensive and doesn't look 'corporate'. Still thinking . . . .

I have this phone for a week now and I can tell a mobile phone don't last too much on me, as I always change them finding them boring, too small screen, poor battery life, getting stuck when leaving 2 or more aplications working, getting scratched too easy, creaky annoyng housing construction, either they have wifi but not GPS, or have GPS but not Wifi, BUT THIS PHONE HAVE IT ALL Nice keyboard construction with quality feeling when tasking and excellent shape of the tasks allowing an easy press. Nice quality came having flash, which my previous e51 did not had one. The camera is not to compare with the n82's one, which s the best camera on a nokia I ever had, but hey for special occasions, use a seperate camera, will always make better fotos. The built it quality is one of the best seen on a mobile phone, feeling rock-solid, and the paint used for the "non-metal " parts is quite resistant to friction, unlike my previous N82 which has bad quality on materials, keyboard had weird noises(fixable, althought) and was a very creaky phone. The menu is well made with lots of options and the mode commuting is really very usefull! nokia maps works flawless and It never got stuck. the GPS reception is also very good and I installed seperate GPS aplications which works very good. It may sound strange, but I think nokia make a mistake by making this phone, because a full qwerty phone with big screen , very slim-10mm-, with integrated GPS AND WIFI connection, and which fits all the pockets is the ideal phone. this phone already have huge sales, and that thing will make the others same generation models just non-interessting) I was to buy the 6700 , another great model BUT has no wifi.

I change my phones almost every 3 years The E71 is a outstanding phone in every area, emails, web, media and navigation yes navigation I have TomTom installed and Iam so impressed with the overall performance that I have stopped using my TomTom Go 720. I use my E71 less for talking and more for emails and browsing using 3G or wifi,I also use quickoffice creating word docs and spreadsheets. I would concluded that this is a nano pc with the option to make a call now and then. Iam due for a upgrade soon and Iam looking out for the E72.

Hi. I've had this phone for a week now and I think it's a excelent device. I love the solid steel exteria and display. One thing which stops me calling it the perfect phone is that it hasn't got a standard 3.5mm socket for standard headphones and I'm finding it difficult to get hold of an headphone adaptor. This phone is easy to type on and it feels sleek and solid and I just have the habbit of picking it up for no reason. I had the E63 before this phone and I was slightly let down due to the exteria. It didn't feel that solid but it was a good phone because it had a better keypad with a couple of extra buttons so the length of the space bar was compromised. The GPS on this E71 is much more reliable than the N95 8GB and the N82 which both were part of my previous collection. If you have money to splash out on a good business phone then purchase this phone as it won't let you down.

Do the people that write bad reviews on this phone not check all the other bad reviews first?...The signal on this phone is absolutely fine, the only reason why yours is bad is because you are on THREE, every single one of you that has said its signal is useless has said you're on THREE. Now if alarm bells didn't ring and tell you to stay away from THREE then this is your fault, not nokias. I have had this phone for a while now and not had one problem with its signal at all, and I travel round most of England.

I took this phone as an alternative to the Blackberry which I use for business. As the reception on the E71 is so poor, even if my caller has full signal strength and me also, I now divert all calls to my Blackberry and hey ho, the problem dissappears.Theres issues with this phone, even after going through all the trouble shooting to sort it out. Sorry,give me my Blackberry every time, as I need to be able to have a business conversation and hear whats going on not a breakup throughout the conversation.

Wicked phone does everything :-). The qwerty keypad took some getting used (and I've got fat fingers) to but now it's a doddle & the mobile dictionary is excellent, I hardly have to spell or insert new words like other phones. The phone's extremely fast. It's like having a mobile office. The low light keypad sensor is excellent. The only gripe I have is that the music volume level is way 2 low, may have 2 buy the Nokia in-earphones. This is definitely the best phone I've ever had. I'm on it so often I charge it daily lol. Wifi connection/email/web functionality is great & the screen is so clear though some pics do look dark & there's no brightness or contrast setting. Not at all bothered though minor tings dat. I definitely recommend this phone.

Got to say I've never been a fan of Nokia's but the E71 kicks some serous ass! The only slight downside is the camera which at 3.2 megapixel isn't exactly a low rent one. other than that, the qwerty keyboard is so easy to use, and the interface is excellent.

I got my E71 a few weeks ago and, although when I first got it I wasn't taken with it at all, now I can honestly say it's the best phone I have ever had! I am Blind and use it with a program called Talks which allows me to access all of the phone's menus and features etc. Unlike other phones I've used Talks with, the E71 has only ever crashed on me once so far. My old N95, on the other hand, was always crashing on me and the only way to revive it was often to take the battery out. The battery life for the E71 is also better by far than any other phone I've had! I also really like the qwerty keyboard. It has a blob on the G/5 which I sometimes forget about (you would usually find the blobs on the F and J) but am getting used to that now. I also think the call quality is brilliant. As for the size, it probably seems like a heavy phone on paper, but it's so slim that it really doesn't feel weighty at all and I find it quite satisfying to hold. I can't praise this phone enough and I'm really pleased with it and I would say that anyone who is visually impaired should definitely think about getting this phone as it's by far and away the most reliable one I've used with Talks so far.

For anyone complaining about the WiFi message "no gateway reply", this is actually down to your old router software and not the phone. I had this problem for ages and Nokia helpline couldn't help, but upgrading the Netgear Router to the latest software/firmware made the E71 connect via secure WPA encryption immediately. Nokia need to train their technical staff more ! Also, it would be the perfect phone if it had Windows Mobile, so I have to also carry an iPAQ around to sync Word/Excel/Powerpoint etc. Come on Nokia - introduce Windows Mobile and you'll have the best phone in the world !

The reviewer above gets extra points for enthusiasm, but this phone is as frustrating as it is good. There are 3 major deal breakers for me. Dealbreaker #1: There is no native mail app that works well - and no really great mail app to be had on this phone. In today's world, users demand IMAP. Want IMAP? Download Nokia's works-sometimes, we're going to charge you in the future email app. It mostly works, but subscribed folders appear and disappear and the mail gets there when Nokia decides to send it (which is 95% of the time.) Want IMAP natively? It's limited to headers only, so emails take a painfully long time to view. Want Outlook/Exhcange? The Nokia client is limited to one folder. It is buggy and doesn't work well at all. Also, I might add that email editing is a clumsy and painful affair, no matter how you slice it. Dealbreaker #2: The UI is ugly. Like red-headed stepchild ugly. Think Palm 1997 ugly. For all the marketing videos that Nokia produces and for all the self-congratulatory design videos I have now watched, couldn't Nokia spend a $2,000 for 3 decent themes? Symbian gets points for stability and responsiveness, but loses for the Soviet-style icons and lack of customization. Dealbreaker #3: The total cost of ownership is ridiculously high. Want apps? Be prepared to shell out some hard-earned cash because they are going to cost you. (Handy sells a much softwware needed bundle for $125. Well the phone sells in the US for $450 unlocked/$99 with a 2-year plan. Is this rational pricing.) The fact of the matter remains that for all it's market share and marketing might, Nokia has so far not been able to attract developers or get traction with it's Ovi store. ---- Overall, if you need a hardcore, email management phone, the E71 is doomed to disappoint. I am glad I owned an E71, if only to understand my parents cheapo-Symbian phones so I can update the UI with things that they would actually press. But the E71 is definitely NOT a great messaging phone.

It's a nice and smart phone (almost like a fashion accessory), BUT: Nokia should have never ever released it with such a WEAK reception - It's useless in many areas of the country (In the UK where other mobiles on the same network work well) - thus cannot be regarded as a serious business tool! Customising is somewhat limited and automatic email retrieval is missing (had it on the N70...), so overall a great missed opportunity - Nokia should open up and get outsiders to improve usability!

I absolutely LOVE this phone :) I hadn't had a Nokia phone for about 8 years but had heard that Nokia users nowadays tend to stay very loyal to the brand. I hoped from that it would mean a reliable, easy to use handset and so far I've not been disappointed. Admittedly, I use this handset more for personal use than business and for me, it suits my needs perfectly. The battery life is an absolute joy. The first day I had it, I only charged it for about an hour as I was eager to get going with it so decided to forgo a full charge. Such is the addictiveness of the handset, I used it almost non-stop for calls, texts and internet for most of the day from 8am and I still had just under half of the battery life remaining when I finally switched it off at 11pm. Compared with various handsets (including one gimmicky one which was sent back to Vodafone as I'd only get half a day out of it, from fully charged) it was absolutely perfect. Internet browsing is very easy and I've found that the handset in general, is very easy to use. The only slight negative is that the camera is only 3.2 megapixels which is a shame, especially as my previous handset was 5. But my priorities are different now and things like battery life are much more important than a flashy camera. The chrome finish does attract fingerprints but it's nothing that a wipe over with a cloth won't fix. The case included in the pack keeps it very well protected. Although I've had the phone a few days, it feels like I've only just scratched the surface in finding out the phone's capabilities. Can't wait to keep discovering more!

Have been using E71 since the past 6 months now. Though it did hang up twice soo far, I am still in Love with it and it hasn't let me down in any way yet.

I could have then used it at my work place where we use the LEAP WEP protocol.

Becausing no phone seemed perfect, I spent ages researching phones - iPhone, Omnia, various B'berries, X1 Experia, sundry HTCs and Nokia E75 - before deciding to get the E71. Great choice! The features are perfect for my needs and the interface speed is AWESOME. There is nothing worse that having to wait for an interface to respond and this is possibly the fastest phone interface I have worked with. The test for me is always... "Having owned a phone, would I make the same choice again?" The answer for the E71 is "Hell YEAH!"

my e71 keeps doing weird things! I should have complained once i noticed the little weird things it did. First, when i want to call someone and click on their name, the list will disappear and it will just go back to the menu. I realised if i pressed the first letter of the name i wanted to call, then the correct number will come up! grrh! The WIFI NEVER WORKS. It doesnt tell you the length of your last call, it doesnt tell you when ur text msg got in unless you go to options and look at the msg details, it doesn't tell you what percent of your battery is left, and the BATTERY LIFE is horrible! I didn't use it at all when I was abroad, just kept it with me for emergencies, and it STILL only lasted 2 days , max 3. It lags when you want to quickly close something, the camera takes forever to take the picture, and I dropped it once, and now it WONT START! It just starts up to the menu, and once i press a button it shuts off again! I can't stand it. Will the new update help solve all this? because if it doesnt and i have to pay for this new phone to be repaired, i am NOT going with NOKIA again!
