I have loaded the software and it runs as separate functions that can be swapped, but I can't get the overlay to work on the maps as the buttons stated in the instructions are not compatible with the E71 keys. For instance to switch overlay it says you need to press the back key (C). When I do this it just zooms the map. Grateful to hear how you do it!

Sure, the keys are slightly smaller, but they are better shaped, and give much better tactile feedback. i.e. they have a satisfyingly solid feel. As regards the Blackberry Pearl, I only used one for a couple of weeks, and although the keys are pretty good, they are still not as positive feeling as the E71, IMHO. Also, one point I didn't make, was that the smart keys are better placed, and easier to press, and the D-pad is a HUGE improvement. Hi Akerath,

One more question: How would you compare the keyboard to the E61i or the Blackberry pearl? Nice review. One more question: How would you compare the keyboard to the E61i or the Blackberry pearl?

And a owner of 3650 to e71. This phone is superb and way better than my old 95 8gb except camera. Display is superb sharp and the most important thing get an adeptor of 2:5 to 3:5 plugin standard earphone and you will forget any ipod or iphone. Hi i am parth from india and a real s60 freak..

Sadly, the E61i version of BlackBerry Connect won't work on the E61i, nor will the E51 version, nor any other, for that matter! They've all been tried, by others as well as me, with no luck. Seems Nokia, and RIM are still negotiating, maybe? Thanks to Vaibhav for posting my mini-review on here! One correction to it - of course, Exchange is also push email, not pull. Excuse the 'senior moment'... ;-) James Hi Duxxyuk,

The OS should be capable of running that version. It's what I've had on my N95. I would be interested in reading how you get on ...

Web browsing seems improved, and faster. The keyboard feels very positive, and the keys are easy to press, even for me with big hands! The screen real estate is well laid out, and emails are easy to read. Really a good modification nokia did in this handset. Much more polished and substantial feeling phone design.
