Reny Harding, 29 Jul 2009Can anyone tell me the difference between the E71 and the E71x?E71 is a general phone while E71x is AT&T or some other service specific.

    Mr Tan, 29 Jul 2009Can I Upgrade the RAM of this phone??? how??No, you cant. Even Nokia cant. However, you can use some third party prog (from www.getjar.com or www.dotsis.com) that can enhence the RAM little bit. But why should you want more RAM. 128 MB is enough. After running fring, email, google latitude, kaspersky in the back ground, I am still left with 94 MB, enough to run Opera Mini and some more progs without the phone hanging or slowing down.

          e71 - autofocus 3.2mpx, 2.5mm audio port,qwerty keypd
          e52 - fixed foucus 3.2mpx, 3.5mm audio port,normal keypd
          design to me e52 wins, e71 looks not that great
          i would choose e71 instead bcoz of the autofocus cmera
          the 2.5mm port adapter can be bought

                  Is it still a good phone even though its a year old already? Is there anything newer in the same look and features?

                    harry bigs, 28 Jul 2009hi vinay, wanna ask you, how do you manage to still have 9... moreSimple. Put everything on the memory card. Could not help putting Kaspersky on the phone memory as it felt that it shud keep running even if the card was taken out or replaced.

                                I currently have (and am still using) the Nokia 5300, and I'm shopping for a possible replacement. I'm currently looking at these 3: Nokia N97, Nokia 5800 Xpress-Music, and the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 (my first cellphone was a "Ericsson GA 628" (this one: http://www.gsmarena.com/ericss..._628-105.php ), and I really have no problem going back to [Sony] Ericsson cellphones, if really it turns out that the best of the 3 I'm currently looking at, is the XPERIA X1.

                                Yes, I know, "there's a new model of XPERIA coming out", "the Nokia N97's got 32GB of memory", and "the Nokia 5800 Xpress-Music came out before the N97, so, supposedly -- at least in gsmarena.com -- SOME (not all) of the kinks of the Symbian OS for touch-screen cellphones, have been worked out".

                                But I'm really looking for a cellphone that's:

                                1. user-friendly,

                                2. easy-to-use,

                                3. has durable battery life (I'm not big on having Bluetooth on 24-7, or always browsing the Internet, or any of those battery-draining activities. I use them when I'm in the mood and/or "urgent need" to use them, but otherwise, I just leave them off. Period.),

                                4. you can easily organize and manage your contacts
                                (in the 2 Nokia cellphones I've had so far -- the 5300 Xpress-Music and the 'Nokia 8210', this one> http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_8210-19.php -- I've always liked how I can very easily organize multiple phone-numbers, e-mail addresses, website addresses, street addresses, birthdays, nicknames, etc etc, and other things, into one contact, and all that information would just appear under ONE name, instead of HAVING EACH-PIECE of contact information appear "SEPARATELY" and/or like a "separate contact", like my Motorola V220 did; it made the darn address-book be WAY MORE CLUTTERED, and i DESPISED that!!)

                                5. Bluetooth, integrated camera, 3G, not 'complicated' to learn (and/or "too hard a learning-curve, that makes the cellphone just not be worth the hassle of learning how to use it" -- yes, I always read the manual on my cellphone though, by the way)

                                6. The Bluetooth capabilities DEFINITELY DO need to have the ability to transfer files from cellphone to cellphone (not just sending files, but also RECEIVING files), including (but not limited to): MP3 files (for ringtones, listening to music, etc), photos, video-clips, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. (Ahh, the magic of having Bluetooth on my Nokia 5300, especially when before that my cell-phone was the Motorola V220).

                                7. durable. "good quality" construction. "solid"-feeling. (i don't harass and/or "brutalize" my cellphone -- I do try to take good care of my things -- but I don't like for my cellphone to feel as if it was a 1-milimeter-thick piece of glass that could break at the slightest touch).


                                Any recommendations on which of these 3 cellphones to get? ie. Nokia 5800 Xpress-Music, Nokia N97, Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1?

                                (overall, in general, which is the best option??

                                and, then again: which is the best option, for ME???)


                                I also forgot to mention: Quad-Band [GSM] is a COMPLETE, DEFINITE, AND UNQUESTIONABLE MUST!!

                                by the way, I'm going to be using the new cellphone (whichever I am recommended to get) on AT&T [in the States], "prepay" as opposed to "contract". And, I'm going to make sure that I buy the darn cellphone UNLOCKED (like maybe from Amazon.com or some other place where I can find the cellphone chosen, unlocked).

                                Good call-quality, good cellphone-reception, I can hear the person on the other line well, the person on the other line can hear ME well (and also, "loud and clear", obviously).

                                Another thing I noticed: Look at Episode 12 (ie. "Knight To King's Pawn") of the new "Knight Rider [2008]" tv-show. Sarah Graiman, in the beginning of the episode, when she hangs up on Michael Knight's phone-call, she's using an XPERIA!!! (this IS NOT affecting my decision to buy one though, by the way)


                                I also forgot to mention. I'm also looking at the Nokia E71 as a possibility (or any Nokia with similar features, like the E72 for example, or any other with a "full QWERTY keyboard").

                                  dev, 27 Jul 2009im on the dark side...thats y im looking at the black E71..... moreI have a colleague who told me he was on the dark side too. I think either he watch too much Starwars or forgotten to take his medication. But I think he watch too much Hollywood movies.

                                    wanna ask you, how do you manage to still have 94mb free ram with all those apps running?
                                    after rebooting my e71 shows only about 67mb free.
                                    mine hangs at least once a day...
                                    looking forward to your adv. thanks

                                      I have the e71x and after unlocking and tweaking, I love the phone. Reception rocks, clear and fast, I have no complaints.
                                      But, it doesn't work in Japan.
                                      Q: Does anyone know for SURE if the E71 will work here? If so what is a good source. Otherwise, do you have a recommendation for a phone to use in Japan/ASIA with a CELTREK global roaming card? TIA

                                        Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970For music 5800 but if you want to use it as a phone with a number of SW running in the background, with many facilities running simultaneously, it is E71. The reason is RAM. 5800 has only 80 MB while E71 has 120 MB. Makes all the difference. I have fring, latitude, kaspersky anti virus, email running all the time and still am left with 94 MB free RAM. Hence it does not hang or slow down.
