    Nominally aimed at business and corporate customers, Nokia's latest E-Series handset features a sleek and stylish look that also makes it appealing to regular consumers. The E71 features a full QWERTY keyboard and has a wealth of features; its thin build is particularly impressive. Read more

    The camera is now 3.2 MP with optional auto-focus and LED flash. Besides, the Nokia E71 comes with Nokia Maps 2.0 built into the ROM. the landscape screen is more natural for mapping and navigation software.

    The iPhone may have taken the lion's share of smartphone hype, but frankly, if it's mobile email and calendar and not Web browsing that you want, we'd wager some might be better off steering on the direction of either the BlackBerry Bold, Palm Treo Pro, or this pocket rocket - the Nokia E71. To give you a better idea of the size of the Nokia E71, we've created this photo gallery ( ), comparing it side by side with the iPhone 3G, Palm Treo Pro, and Nokia N95. Read more

    I got this one for a good deal with Optus, $79 for 24 months and $0 for the device.I had before a N91 and it is 10 time lighter than the old one. I like the full keyboard, Open Office, PDF, Exchange sync.... what else? Read more

    • Plenty of applications pre-installed, ZIP, Acrobar, Open Office, Email for Exchange
    • Same as the N91 after playing with the devices for a long time it reset itself without news, warning or error.

    I've had my Nokey E71 now for almost two years. I use it as a 'semi-smart' phone for daily train commuting from Sydney to Newcastle, the Internet connection gives me the latest Bureau of Meteorology weather maps and CityRail information, and the GPS tells me where I am at night. I've created a virtual jukebox of over 1000 audio tracks loaded on the 8Gb SIM (which is still 48% free). Read more
