Love the Nokia E71 it does everything I want it to!
Just wondering can anyone tell me how you type accented words with the QWERTY keyboard?(è, é ç etc). Is there something that can be downloaded for this?
thanks

Nice review!!

I just bought a Nokia E71 yesterday… and I’ve got to say my first impressions were rather flawless (compared to all previous devices I’ve ever used).

I feel good

guys

Purple tint is a REAL DRAWBACK in E71.
This may be the cause why people are bit reluctant in buying this phone.
Please let me know if nokia have launched any freeware to resolve this issue.

Dilbert, of course! The problem with it is the huge capture time and the horrible purple tint!

Guys, keep your questions/opinions coming, I’ll be sure to go over them!

“Just today morning I needed to take some important images and the E71 failed me with its 3.2 megapixel camera and the bad camera software state. I no longer seemed to consider I had a camera on me, which wasn’t true when I still had the E90.”

did you try to press T key before capturing a picture to focus on subject?

Hi,
Thanks for your first impressions on the E71. My questions would be:
1) Could you give us a detailed list of the fields that are found in the “Contacts” and “Calendar” applications. Is it possible to personalize the “Contacts” fields like for N series?
2) How does the phone cope with accented caracters? Can they be found and typed easily? If a message is received in a foreign language, is it displayed correctly (the right caracters displayed instead of odd ones or hollow squares… Willing to send messages to try and check results)
Many Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot for high quality first impression write-up! I personally count strongly on your opinion. In your detailed review, I’d request you to kindly cover the following points:-
1. Please make a comparison of the camera of E71 with the camera of other 3.2 or 2 mp N series nokia cameras like that of N73 and N72.
2. Please let us know the actual achievable word per minute typing speed on E71, after, say, one month’s use.
3. And, is E71 equally user-friendly and easy-to-use like other basic nokia handsets?
4. Can I use Nokia E71 as laptop-substitute? While away from home, on the go I want to use my cellphone for typing fast to take long notes, organise my days schedule, creat and edit documents, drafting and sending and checking a lot of emails with attachments, posting my writings directly to blogs, surfing web, taking occational snaps and small video clips and post them directly to related websites, and for listening to some music.
Will E71 be able to do these works on the go? If not, is there any other better candybar-shaped alternative handheld?
Expecting a detailed review soon! Only after going through your review, I’ll finally decide on buying E71! Thanks a lot in advance.

I wanted to know more about the keypad. I mean will it be easy to use for people who have medium sized thumbs. And how many days it took you to actually type without mistakes on it.

And you already mentioned that the camera is a big minus which is usual in the case of ‘E’ series. Only if nokia understood this and brought out the camera and non camera version at the same time. Atleast it would have reduced the price by around Rs.3,000.

Also how is the quality of the VGA camera in front. Didnt hear people talk about it much.

review this thing:
the speakers or loudness of ringtones and text message alerts.

both E66 and E71 have speakers at the back like E51. i use E51 and sometimes i miss the alerts. so how does the loudness compare to E51?
