Hi Guys,
I have just bought E71 and using HTC Touch from last 2 years. One limitation observed is Sony Erricson Bluetooths are not compatible. Can anybody help me to establish communication between E71 & Sony Bluetooth?

    I had the E71 for about 3-4 weeks. When receiving e-mails, you have to click once to retrieve it. It's a little better because because the N95 you have to click two buttons for the same result. It a cumbersome that this phone is for ppl who don't want a blackberry, but want one, and yet you don't get e-mails instantly. I'd rather have the option of my battery to be drained by being on the internet all the time, then not knowing when I get an e-mail. I hope Nokia makes the N97 online 24-7. -Nijnsky

          gammalink, 15 Aug 2009hi vinayT, i see you are the guru.. pls i got a finnish mad... moreThanks for the honour, pal. I dont deserve it though.
          To be frank, in India we dont have a choice. Whatever comes, goes. So I have not bothered to see if my phone is Korean or Chinese or Pakistani. As long as it works, I am happy. And I am happy with it so far. And I do give a serious thought to the probs and facilities.
          I feel that as the dealer has cheated you once, you should not give him another opportunity. Is he a Nokia dealer? if yes then you can threaten him to behave.

              I have an E61 and it runs Blackberry Connect beautifully.
              Now I wanted to upgrade to the E71 or E72 and I have doubts about purchasing either one as I dont see how I'm gonna get my Corporate Mail on them. My Corporate mail is provided via a BES server...hence I need Blackberry Connect..I dislike BlackBerry very much both technically and ease of use. I gave away one to a coworker jus because I had my E61.

              With what I am seeing nokia should not have left out Blackberry Connectivity as it provides an in road for them to Corporate persons like myself.

                      hi guys,i have been using this phone for about 4 months .it's a good phone. .for camera and all its not that good. . but it has a real look. .it looks an expensive phone.but most of the people think that its a chinese phone because its silver. .
                      sometimes the camera gets stuck but not all the time. .and the music player is also good its the same as the N82 music player but i dont know about the quality of the N82. .this quality is also ok. .but this doesnt have a 3.5mm audio port. .compared to the nokia N82 i would say that this is better. .because this has a better look but the N82 has a 5MP camera with a xeon flash this only has a 3.2MP camera and a LED flash.N82 is discontinued now.
                      another disadvantage is the keys a very small but you can type with your nails.
                      another thing is you can use the 3G camera only when your taking a video call.cant capture from that.
                      the N82 has two speakers but this has only one. .this phone is good for Email you can get your Gmail account or windows live account onto the phone.and typing is made easy because of the QWERTY key board.
                      and finally i would say that the Nokia E71 is a successive phone.if your for business or Email this is super.but even for music,camera etc its not bad (average).

                        from the info that you provide, obviously my answer would be E71, even if it a repetition of GPS with your 5800 inplace.

In just asked to my friend that in my country e71 about $40 more expensive than e63. If you were me, which one you choose? I consider about pouch and other accesories. Here's one pouch value about $20.
                          Thanks again and God bless you.

                            that is your opinion as per your needs and circumstances which may be different to mine.
                            I dont say E71 is any less than other phones, but, friend, we all are entitled to our likes and dislikes. So, here on this forum we should give an unbiased opinion and let others decide for themselves according to their needs and circumstances.

                              frank, 14 Aug 2009Dear Mr. VinayT. I want to have e71/e63 as my second phone... moreFrank,
                              thanks a pile for putting so much value in my comments. the fact remains that E63 and E71 are lookalikes and have little difference. as you already have 5800 the music phone with GPS, i feel that you should go in for E63 as that is a lot cheaper with a bigger memory card capability, 16 GB compared to 8 of E71. Save your hard earned money. If you want to replace the 5800, then go for 71, if you have use for GPS. But you must have an unlimited usage GPRS on these phones to make the best of them. Or 3G if you can afford. You know better. Both have similar RAM. I use five progs in the background with four of them accessing the net 24X7. if you too want to access the net then the small difference in talk time does not matter. Make a choice yourself as you are the best judge of your needs and circumstances. Good Luck to you.

                                    I want to have e71/e63 as my second phone. I have 5800 as my multimedia phone. I want to hear your thoughts about e71/e63. Which one is better in order of look,usability, comfort etc...? Also which one is faster using keypad with t9 or qwerty? The last one, which one your favourite in general,e63 or e71? Thank you god bless you.

                                        maya, 13 Aug 2009Hello guys! am having second thoughts whether to buy this p... moreMaya,
                                        The disadvantages of having E71 are:
                                        1. You are paying for GPS which not very many use.
                                        2. The screen is small (compared to many other phones).
                                        3. The keypad may not suit you. You may have a mental block about the small size of the phone.
                                        4. You have to have an unlimited usage GPRS connection if you want to make full use of its features.
                                        5. Does not have touch facility.
                                        6. Music is not really good.
                                        7. The camera is not really worth being called 3.15MP.
                                        8.
                                        9.
                                        10.
                                        I can go on. All the points given above can be justified for any phone.
                                        The point is, you know the specs. You know the price. You know what you can use and what you cant. You know your finances. If you like the looks and feel you can use it effectively and can afford it, buy it, if you cant, then look elsewhere.
