wick, 26 Nov 2008can anyone tell me if the gps on the e71 is voice promt , o... moreNokia Maps gives voice prompts, also gives a 90 day trial, after that you'll have to pay for it. You can also use Garmin Mobile XT and Route66.

Samsung i780 looks tidy, so does the E71.

Do you want to run Symbian or Windows Mobile?

That would be the main consideration. Most people seem to prefer Symbian?

    Have had the E71 for 2 weeks now and generally I can say that I have not been disapointed.

    If you've used Symbian before you know what to expect. If like me your completely new to it, you can expect an OS which can seem slightly clunky at times with some options buried deep inside settings and sometimes proving to be hard to find. Once you've found your way around the phone you'll love it. (You might like to read up on keyboard shortcuts etc - There is a task manager)

    Back up your data - espescially if you have bundled software.

    I was messing around with some lock settings on my phone, this unexpectedly corrupted the memory card. This is apparently a known problem. The fix for this would seem to be, make sure your memory card is encrypted with a key which you have set before symbian tries to do some crazy voodoo stuff for you.

    If you have fragged your card, simply go to the encryption settings and encrypt your card and save key. You can now read data off card, until you restart your phone. Then memory will apear corrupted. You'll end up having to format card completely to fix this.

    Also TomTom will not work at this present time using built in GPS. There are other alternatives though, but TomTom would probably have been the best (if it worked).


    Screen is OK sized for browsing net - you have to pan around a bit. This device is made as a compact do everything phone with a qwerty keyboard. As all this is built into a phone which sits comfortably in any sized pocket and can easily be forgotten about, concessions have to be made here!

    Keyboard's good and predictive text allows you to mash the keys a bit more.

                Anonymous, 24 Nov 2008Maybe u wanna confirm the time zone setting again. Unlikely... moreThe time zone is correct. The problem is the date changes correctly for say 5 consecutive days and then all of a sudden on the 6th day, I notice the phone still have the date of the previous day. Is this a software bug or something particular to my handset. I have set the alarm to go off on weekdays only, but that should cause the problem. Anyone else with the same problem?

                    is the E71 compatable with blackberry software. I currently use the e61i and am very happy but have been offered an upgrade. Yay or nay?

                            If you want to have free push email, you can download EMOZE or SEVEN or use Nokia Email Service.

                            They are can push your email (POP/IMAP) with delay about 1 to 7 minutes!

                            Nokia Email Service is easier to setup POP email

                              Unknown, 25 Nov 2008Is it possible to see youtube videos on this phone?YES you can watching youtube video from Nokia E71.
                              No need another application, just goto youtube with built in browser, or install mobitubia first (recommended).
                              With mobitubia you can save youtube video (.flv) and after all you can play over and over without internet connection.

                                  Just press the 2 or t button to lock on and activate de AF then press the main button to take a shot.

                                    I migrated from a windows mobile to E71. No regrets. E71 turned to be a perfect blend of business and pleasure. A fantastic gadget that has all the features any businessman would expect from a phone. Cheers to Nokia for bringing this phone.

                                        vali, 25 Nov 2008Thx Richard, but e90 doesnt support yahoo go. Pls adviceYou could download it, but I advise use SEVEN, type Seven in google search and then register, they send email with download link, it works great with POP3 and HTTP accounts like yahoo, gmail, hotmail etc (push email).
