hi everyone, i have been using this phone for a little over a week now and I love it! Yeah, there are some flaws but there are more good things than not. I was planning on buying n80 but my friend, who owns a cell phone shop, did not recommend it as it is slow. His sister had 2 units with the same issue.
Let me pinpoint some things on this phone.
1. the biggest issue are the SCRATCHES. after reading reviews, i purchased a screen protector even before transfering my data from my old phone. now, i don't even have to worry about the scratch! **wink**
2. The audio is really nice but, of course, you can't actually compare it with the sony erricson walkman phones..this is simply they are supposed to be WALKMAN phones.. really nice audios.. when you use the headphones, that's when you'll see the clear stereo audio.
3. as for the question with the keypad lights turning on and off, the tiny square below the 2nd camera (for video calls) is a light detector. It regulates the keypad lights. It's one of those power saving feature of nokia. I've tried it by flashing a light on the detector on a pitch dark room and the keypad lights indeed turned off.
4. here are the issues that I am experiencing:
-the phone freezing when playing snakes, it has happened to me as well..but not always
- some pictures from my old 6670 that i transfered to this one cannot be shown as thumbnails. I have to zoom it to see them. (these are all JPEG)
- the screen flickering when the text message that i'm typing goes to the next line. '
....I have contacted nokia about these and am just waiting for a reply. but still, I LOOOVE THIS PHONE!

"Hi guys can someone help me to solve my problems coz everytym i install themes on my n71 phone it always said that CERTIFICATE ERROR PLS TRY TO CONTACT YOUR APPLICATION SUPPLIER"
Is the setting for 'software installation' set to 'All?' Btw, where'd you get your themes? I've been downloading "supported" (as the sites say) themes for my n71 and all of them aren't supported. So I just dl'd the series 60 theme studio from forum.nokia

i've bought my nokia n71 a week ago. I finally realize that n71 is far better than n70, even the price is quite cheaper than n70( it's about $50 lower) in the place where I live. i'm not worry about the scratches, because i've bought the scratch guard. The system is quite slow but still acceptable. the model looks very good. I am very proud of it.
very happy user

Hi, I have an N71, and i am having a big problem with it. I don't use the phone memory at all for anything, but somehow, it still gets used up. ALL 16MB of it, to the point that i had to have it reformated at a nokia center. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks

Well for me, using Nokia N71 is a pitty. I mean I cannot even play a pre-installed game "SNAKES" just because ma N71 hangs in approx. 1.5 minutes after I launch the game. And then Its stuck, no keys would work, not even the power key. The only solution to it is that I simply remove the battery and then place it back in n boot my device again to get going. Another problem is with the keypad which is making scratches on the Main LCD that looks awefull. Other than that the keypad backlight goes off very often during the phones being used. It was my own choice to buy a Nokia and N71 for that matter but now I am very ashamed of myself because I simply trew my money in fire!!! Please suggest me what can I do now?

its me again, i have decided to buy the phone afterall,ill make sure that its sleeps on my bed with me to avoid stretches, i cant resist it any longer, i know its not a beautifull phone like L.G Chocolate which turned out to be a bimbo phone accompanied by 8800 Nokia phone that looks so pretty on the outside, when its got none of the amazing features that these huge phones has,ill go for it,either way am owning it tomorrow,

Hey guys!...I don't know if some of you have seen a different version of N71 like what I've just found a couple of days ago through the internet...I'm gonna paste the link to that site on the bottom of this...By the way, the N71 featured here, I'm not sure if it is a chinese version, has "LARGER KEYPADS" and it looks better than the usual N71 that we see...Check it out.
