Advantages: GPS, size, features

Disadvantages: screen resolution

The nokia E71 is a great smartphone. I have used many all in one devices such as HP PDAs and Blackberry smartphones. I really like the features of this nokia handset. I don't usually use Nokia phones and find the Blackberry devices menu systems much more user friendly but the built in features of the e71 surpass those of the blackberry.

The styling is very good and the handset is slim and narrow so fits in the palm for 1 handed use quite well. It could have done without the chin at the bottom which makes it a bit long unecessarily. It is also fairly light but because of the metal in it, it is unevenly weighted.

The qwerty keyboard is great for texting and typing in when surfing (it has wifi built in too). It beats a PDA in terms of browser speed and compactness. The FM radio is a welcome addition as is the integrated GPS. If you use software such as Sygic Mobile you can use the integrated GPS rather than assisted GPS which uses up data.

The phone screen is not as high resolution as say a blackberry 8900 but its adequate as is the 3.2 mexapixel camera. Also it is 3g network compatible. The phone software is quick but the menu and icons could do with updating.

Overall a good value phone at approx. £200 payg and with some nice features.

Summary: smartphone with nice features
