I got it, damn it!!
This is just the worst cell phone I ever head. I used some kind of windows based Samsung smartphone many years ago and even that piece of crap was better than Nokia e71. This phone is absolutely counter-intuitive. The only good think I can say opf it is that it's a gift from my wife and that's why I didn't throw it out of my window the very day I got it.
The only way to get how to do 80% of things on this shitty piece of metal is to query Google, but no way getting it from the interface itself.
I was using SE k750i and it annoyed me to death with it's absolutelly unreliable charger. But even though it's not smartphone at all it's much much better phone than this useless shit - Nokia e71.
DON'T BUY IT!!! Buy something else.

Congratulations!
These phones have been given to everyone in my office, and I am pleased to announce that this has won the accolade of “The worst phone I have ever used in my life”.
This is based on features like terrible email integration with Exchange, a keyboard designed for people who have fingers shaped like that of a pixie, application response times that make the original SPV on the first ever windows mobile device look fast, graphics on the home screen clock that are comparable to a BBC computer from 1985, a battery life which on standby lasts about as long as a viagra, and most importantly beeping every 10 mins for no reason at all, so that when you go to unlock the screen phone (which is again deigned to super fast pixies) there is no message at all.
All in all if you want a large heavy phone, that will damage your productivity and state of mind, or want to buy a phone for someone you really hate, then go no further, this is the perfect phone.

Great review!
Only one error: "to do 'Ctrl-X', for example, you actually have to press three keys at once"
No you don't, actually. You can press each button in succession, it doesn't have to be all at once.

The camera in my E71 suddenly went into flames.
Nokia service is least bothered about the issue and are not ready to give a replacement.
So please do not go for E71..
Afterall you donot want to end up tasting horrible customer service after paying a huge sum..

E71 signal issues and 3
A word of advice, don't use 3 as a telecoms provider. My e71 spends 90% of its life with zero signal, absolutely nothing.. much worse than my n95 8Gb. Speaking to 3 is a complete waste of time and they are complete waste of space. Total lack of interest on their part. Have read a lot on the net about e71 and the signal issues but they seem so much worse with 3. Anyone else having issue with signal quality on this beautiful device ?

But don't just take my word for it, check out the user forum on the Nokia website and see how many threads there are with people having the same problem. My phone is also stuck in infrared connectivity for use as a modem. I did not set it up that way and have never used infrared for anything. There is no option to turn off the infrared, just to "connect to computer as a modem". If anyone has had this problem or has found a solution, please post! I'm getting a bit tired of unistalling Nokia PC suite, and rebooting my phone back to factory settings (using the code *.....).

Contacts database
E71 is a great phone but is let down by aweful contacts section. You can't display all contact info on one screen unlike blackberrys and this is a let-down for a business phone. Most business users need this.

One of the best things with newer generation Nokia smart phones is the upped ram from something like 20-30 to 120mb. You wont be getting out of memories. http://www.cellphones-reviews.com

Thanks for the E71 Review
Steve Litchfield's E71 Review was substantial, informative and impressive. I wish all reviews of computer equipment were as extensive and interesting.
When my E71 arrives tomorrow I will see how well it meets my needs.
Those that criticise the E71's camera forget the E71 is primary a communications device - a phone, a texting device, an email device with some work related extras. The E71's camera was never intended to replace a "proper" digital camera. It is an extra for taking snaps when one's "proper" camera is unavailable. The E71's camera shots at 3.2 mpix are much worse than my 10 year old Olympus digital with 1.4 mpix and a large light gathering lens.
Steve's review did not mention whether the E71 can function as a SMTP client to receive emails (in the same way as older versions of the Agent email program did). On the E61 trying to access a POP3 account on my Internet connected mail server never worked. Perhaps that was blocked by phone company.
What would be useful in future versions is a short-range point-to-point radio link. Similar to DECT enabling a group of people to use their phones like walkie-talkies upto about 1 km radius.

Nokia E71
I've just returned mine to Vodaphone because it was absolutely dreadful to use, slow cumbersome and lock prone and most of all because it was a lousy phone. I've never owned on that had such an appalling RF performance. I've lost countless calls simply because its reception is so much worse than any other I've ever owned.
I don't haven an iPhone but I do have a Touch and it is easy to see why people are prepared to spend so much more for one. It is superior in every respect.
IMO the Symbian operating system is dire, absolute misery to use, especially with a tiny screen.

Blackberry Connect
I agree about Blackberry Connect. The e61/61i had flaws but blackberry functionality made me buy it and I suspect a whole lot of othes. The Nokia Email, Messaging or whatever it is called these days is simply not good enough compared to the blackberry offering. Mail for Exchange is fine but again does not have the functionality of Blackberry. If only Nokia listened to reason ....

e71 v e90
Been using the E90 for just over 12 months and loved it especially the ability for file loading from home pc (ie word and excel) then being able to e-mail shere them with others, just gone over to the E71 and had no problems with it at all, yes its smaller keyboard and screen are not ideal but hey this little bugger fits in my top pocket the E90, not a chance. Think all the apps are good if basic visually but could I care less if the icons look simple, could I toss. Just want a phone that does everything and this covers of most of what I want, have added a 4 GB card and can now listen to my music in the car (using the bluetooth) rather than the fat man on radio 1....excellent!
