Dear Brother Paeijho, thanks for your quick help, I appriciate that. But unfortunately I am not yet satisfied! I have understood about the FW and saw what you told me to dial, I saw 35, but I what I don't know yet is that where to go to from the website you gave me, is it in my computer then download it in to my mobile or I write the website into my mobile browser then download it straight from my mobile internet into to my mobile? Please tell me how to bring the latest firm ware into my mobile!
Besides, I have a lot of mobile repair centres in my country Kenya, but I think you haven't got my first problem, I said; my code got blocked, it is not that I forgot it but the code got locked after I dialed wrong number in it, so now it is blocked and can't be used anymore, I don't know if you have that problem too, thank you my brother, I really appriciate for your help, I would love if you gave a contact address like your number or email address, bye! Mohamed.

hai Mohamed, glad you like my country.;)
bad luck about the phone got locked, perhaps you still have the service centres in your country?
if yes, ask them for the phone code, it's should be free of charge, but it depends.
firmware is the software that operate the phone, it's like the brain.
you can check your phone FW version by typing *#06# and move to the next tab, look for it there.
the newest FW would be 45, find it at www.gsm-multifund.de
for further questions, you can go to www.club-siemens.net/forum or www.siemensplanet.com/forum, you'll find me and other helpfull members there.

E71 is one Java phone, not Symbian like Nokia.
but still you'll find alot of Java apps.

you mean the icons in the preview?
well it's just a preview, in the real world you can't change the icons by changing themes.

Hi guys, yeah I tried to connect to other devices, 1 laptop (worked), 2 mobiles (worked), it's probably only my Asus A8JN that E71 doesn't want to connect to. Pity, well, I've got a cable so I will probably have to live with it. As for most recent posts, here's a Czech website with FW downloads: http://siemensmania.cz/, it's pretty simple, in the left menu, under Services, click on Firmware and there you go.
One more thing, I tried to apply various themes to E71 but when there are redecorated icons, my icons remain still the samy, any idea why this is? Thanx a lot, L

did you already check the phone memory?
maybe it's full, the phone wont accept it when it's full.
about the site, use google translate to read it in English.

Hi there, yesterday I also became the lucky owner of E71, however, when I tried to connect it to my Asus A8JN laptop via Bluetooth, it didn't work and I still cannot make it working. Guys do you have any idea, what the problem could be? One more question, where and how can I update the firmware of the phone? Thx L

Update:
just did a firmware update to the newest firmware (version 45) and still no luck :-(
can't believe I am saying this, but I will have to sell the phone if I can not solve this problem, because I sms a lot and eveytime receiving that warning is not what I like, so I really don't know what to do?
Come on guys help me out here

Hey guys,
I am also a lucky owner of the E71, but I have a BIG problem:
my E71 saves my SMS messages on my SIMcard (20 messages memory) instead of the phone memory (100 messages memory) so when I get 20 messages, my phone warns me that my inbox is full and I should empty my inbox. I also won't get an alert tone with new incoming messages (no tone and vibration) this is so annoying because I have memory left in my phone memory, but my phone will not save my messages there in the first place...
Can someone please help me ?
Thanks in advance

the MicroSD slot is under the battery, like the simcard slot.
it's at the upper right.
to transfer the photos and anything else, do it over bluetooth, just press "options" then "send.." "via bluetooth".
what do you mean by no internet?
have you set up the connection profiles?
you can ask your provider to get the settings for it.
