Nokia E71 mobile phone review

Comments

• Lovely use of cut and paste from the E66 article, made the article double the size. Not sure what this sentence means either "font in the messages has too much leading making emails harder to read". As for the phone looks ok but undoubtedly suffers the same S60 annoyances like my E51 no full-screen wallpaper, no auto-complete when typing texts, etc. Posted by Craig Thomas, Wales
• Craig,
  
  Thanks for your comments, the core element of the reviews are the same as the OS and features are identical, its just a different form factor. While I hope everyone will read both reviews we can't always be certain of that hence the two reviews for the two different form factors.
  
  As for "leading" that refers to the space between the lines of text (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading). This was in my opinion quite wide and therefore made reading text on screen difficult.

• How did you miss the push mail functions??
  The E71 is an Enterprise class phone and includes Nokia Intellisync, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, Visto Mobile and Seven Always on Mail clients out of the box and pre-installed. Posted by Chris, UK
• I got it for the GPS and its not good.So lets concentrate on that. Its loaded with cardiff, london and edinbrugh, but i live in liverpool. I did a search for a road 1000 yards from me. It went on line and after three minutes it could not find it. So i gave it manchester and three mins later location not found. I went off line and redid the same thing again, it found the road 1000 yards from me but it couldnot get a signal untill five minutes had passed wiating for a GPS signal. Eventually it got the signal and then connected to the server to complete the connection i accepted the terms and conditions and five minutes later it still had not connected. I walked the 1000 yards in three minutes . 20 minutes later it still had not shown me anything other than my location.I consider it to be a gimmicky satnav and no contender for a dedicated satnav finder.I tried the test one hour later again and it continued to not be of any use. There is no support via the nokia website to download extra maps for the E71 and to make use of the buttons is both time consuming and fiddlesome.im sending mine back... again that another big problem in its self Posted by paulus, uk
• Definately not a blackberry.
  Does the same job i think, but as usual, the software causes problems, in which could be a very pleasurable use of a phone.
  I was going to get one of these, but i got a blackberry bold 9000 instead, best decision ive ever made, amazing phone. Posted by J_Harvey, United States
