first a comparison to the e61i: i had both the e61 and e61i and this is a major improvement over both. the form factor is incredible as it is only 10mm thin, much narrower than its predecessors, and feels very solid and sleek with its all metal body. the phone is just beautiful to look at. nokia has improved its processor greatly and the phone has almost no wait time with all its functions now. when i went back to use the e61i, it was unbearably slow compared to the e71. the keypad on the e71, although a little cramped, feels good on the fingers. one of my biggest complaints about the e61i was that earphone speaker was hard to hear out of, but the e71’s narrower body and seemingly louder speaker solves the problem. the e71 has also added a microUSB port, and 2.5mm earphone jack. in terms of software, the e71 has an updated symbian os that includes some additional features and programs that were pleasant to see. the biggest program improvements for me was the updated organizer and the shortcut key options. for all e61 and e61i users out there, the e71 is a must update to nokia’s wonderful line of phones.comparison to competitors: function-wise, it has all the features blackberry’s and the iphone 3g have. however, the e71 is much smaller than both (just put the e71 side to side with the blackberry curve and the iphone and they both look like monsters compared to the e71). i have no complaints with the 3g and 3.5g (umts/hsdpa), and I’m not sure what the other reviewer was talking about– it must be a network/area dependent problem. i live in the SF bay area and i almost always connect to the 3.5g network with att and the internet is extremely fast, comparable to web browsing on a computer with broadband cable access. i really dont like the all touch screen of the iphone, so i would never consider it. i was debating between the curve and e71, but e71 beats it in both function and form-factor. the e71 has a umts/hsdpa, 3mp camera, and better battery life. all the rest (OS mainly) is just up to personal preference.concluding remarks: if you ask "why should I get the e71", i would answer with these points based on what "I" feel is most important:- very fast 3G capability- excellent size, feel, and look,- speedy processor with no lag in navigation- improved OS and great computer connection software (nokia pc suite)- long battery life- 3MP camera with flash- comes with carrying case, carrying strap, stereo earphones, and data cable- and lastly, did i mention that this is the most beautiful i have ever seen? see one for yourself (i know its hard b/c they dont really have them in stores) and you will love the look and feel of it.

I’ve had this phone since last year and it’s by far the best phone I’ve ever used. It’s foolish to compare these kind of devices to the iPhone because they serve a completely different kind of user.People tend to say it’s mainly for business but I personally love using the Youtube app, and using IM, while downloading podcasts in the background.S60 has a large and solid catalog of apps that are USEFUL and run in the background.I’ve owned many Smartphones/Blackberry’s and I’m a Apple fanboy but nothing touches my E71.
