Nokia E71 QWERTY Phone Review


Nokia E71 would be a big proof that finally Nokia is taking form-factor a step further and more serious.

At the height of 112mm – width of 57mm – and 10mm thick, Nokia E71 become today’s slimmest nokia phone and unmatched compact phone given the features loaded in that slim body.

It is indeed a big improvement.

It also claimed as the thinnest QWERTY-smartphone currently on market, features Wifi and GPS receiver while boosted by a 1500mAh battery — promising 20 days of stand-by time, 10.5 hours of GSM talk-time, and 4.5 hours of 3G talk-time.

The Nokia E71 is nothing like the plastic-look of its predecessor, kick them out with chrome accents plus a glossy screen. This device is pocketable and very comfortable to hold and use. Okay, let’s face it. Smaller size of the device has made some drawbacks, such as: the display shrunk to 2.36 inch, though it doesn’t give users any trouble at all; also the QWERTY keyboard is small or maybe too small for some people with large fingers; so maybe those people will need longer time adapting with the small keys. The keys feels clicky and rigid, instead of spongy like the E62′s. Anything but the screen and the keyboard is shiny metal with mirror finnish, which obviously prettified the phone but also become a fingerprint magnet.

On the top of Nokia E71, we will found the power button and a mono-loudspeaker (which is great on volume and quality); moving to the left side of the device, we will see the microSD slot (to expand the storage up-to 8GB) and microUSB port hidden under a plastic lid; on the opposite side we will found the volume keys (up and down), voice-recorder button, and a 2.5mm stereo audio jack, moving down on the bottom of the phone there is the charging port.

The snapper is upgraded to 3.2 megapixel auto-focus camera and LED flash, able to record VGA video at 22 frame-per-second. The processor is practically 50% faster, plus 128 of RAM (that’s triple amount of E61′s RAM), supported by the S60 3rd edition and Feature Pack1, all of them made the phone runs smoother and away from troubles when handling multi-tasking needs.

Nokia E71 sports an exceptional trans-reflective display, which still perfectly readable on direct sunlight. With a QVGA resolution, all the colors and details look nice and sharp, while the landscape orientation of it will come in handy when used to view the images and on browse the internet. Since it runs on the S60 3rd edition and Feature-Pack 1, Nokia E71 lacks the fanciness of FP2′s screen transition, and it might be a break-down for some people.

The new features which aren’t seen in other device like this are including the easy-email setup. It’s as easy as entering your email address and password, Nokia E71 will do the downloading and the rest stuff in just seconds, so you can start to emailing on the go. The next feature is the Mode Switcher, which is practically switch between 2 home screen. One for office or work, and the other is for personal or something like that. Nokia also did a face-lift on the calendar, which now offering many view and options. The web browser has improved also, now with FlashLite 3 for full flash support, and not to forget the mobile VPN client that easy to set-up.

The Remote-Wipe feature — i believe everyone have already heard of it — now available in this device. Just in case your E71 is lost or stolen, you can simply send a special SMS message, then the phone will completely lock down. And if someone tries to unlock it, the phone will automatically wipes all personal data and info. Well, you may not get your phone back, but atleast nobody get your personal data.

Finally, the Nokia E71 definetely fills the big gap on the 2nd E-series line-up. These 2nd generation E-series phone (E51, E66, E71, E90) will absolutely gives their rivals some long sleeples nights.
