It fits perfectly well into your palm and comes across as a smart, trendy mobile phone. But that’s not its only claim to fame. Nokia E71 is a
smartphone from the E-series range, a Series 60 third edition, second generation Feature Pack 1, device with a QWERTY keyboard targeting business users
worldwide.
One look, and I found the phone — trim and fitted with a full keyboard — a tad crammed, with so many tiny buttons (read keys) jostling for space. But the impression ends the moment you start pressing the keys. The buttons come full-on your fin
gers and offer a great typing speed — re-stating the obvious: Nokia E71 is impeccably tailored for business movers, with fast and easy access to messaging
, including your business and personal mail, without the complexity.
The build quality of the phone, with steel frames, is solid and is well equipped. It also has a decent a 3.2 megapixel auto focus camera and LED flash that is probably comparable to one that we can find on E90 which means it is not the best camera out there but still it is a pretty good deal for a business-related phone. Of course, there is an also Wi-Fi and the built-in GPS feature.
What’s more interesting, the phone has two home screens, meaning thereby that the two home screens let you choose between work and leisure modes. You can also choose application shortcuts to suit your schedule with message notifications on or off. One thing that’d strike you the moment you use the phone is the great application speed. In fact, switching between applications seems real easy if you have such a high-performing phone as Nokia E71. The other pluses include integrated and assisted GPS, and FM radio 87.5-108 MHz with visual radio.
But what’s definitely missing in this smartphone is a good resolution screen. The 2.4 inch QVGA display leaves much to be desired Rs 22,949.
