Nokia E71 with Contract

Nokia seem to have been around forever. And they have. The were at the forefront of emerging technology and continue to be market leaders today. I put this down to two things. Firstly, most people associate Nokia with mobile phones, it's just a given. Secondly their user interface has always been simple and logical in the way it has been implemented. After a long run of Nokia handsets, followed by a foray into the wilderness, I am now back with the Finnish giants of tech. So to the E71. A phone that by rights should be in a grey area, in that it's right on the point of convergence between business orientated smartphones and the traditonal social phone.

I remember getting my first phone: going into the shop and choosing a little item I liked based purely on design. Okay so I say little, but we're talking around 2001/2002. Phones back then were like bricks! The one I went for then was a deep blue colour with a glittery surface, and a tiny black areal sticking out the top.

What impressed me was the build quality, this is definately a phone that won't snap in half any time soon. The screen is also bright enough to be usable in daylight as well (unlike my S/E W910).

I love my iPhone, so with trepidation I decided to give a Nokia E71 a whirl. There are a few surprises, but also many disappointments. The good Well, the E71 has a nice form factor. It is very very slim, great styling, and very pocketable. The build quality is awesome, the best feeling Nokia I have ever used. The screen is very crisp and clear, it is bright enough, but could be a little brighter in my opinion. The keyboard is also pretty darn awesome. Having used the iPhone for over a year, I was surprised how much I missed having a proper tactile keyboard. The GPS built into this handset is brilliant too. It locked onto a signal really ...  Read the complete review
