The Nokia E71

The Nokia E71 is a great looking smart phone with excellent business features. It's set up to be a rival to the famed Blackberry, and it certainly shares some physical features with it. While not as large, it has a full QWERT keyboard and a screen that is proportionate to the size of the Blackberry.


While I'm never a very big fan of smart phones, I must say that the Nokia E71 is good buy. I can understand that business users have more requirements than a non-business user. Specifically the keyboard is very important, as most of them don't have the time to learn how to type using a stylus. The Nokia E71 has a very good keyboard set that has great buttons.

Let's start off with Email. The Nokia E71 has any number of features to help it connect with a variety of email standards including push email, Microsoft Exchange, and SMTP accounts. It also has a feature where you can have your messages read out to you in case you're unable to use your hands at any given moment.

The Nokia E71 also tries to serve you well at home. It has an interesting feature called the "Personal" and the "Business" mode. In the business mode, you have quick access to your email and other productivity suites, and in Personal mode you can access all your music and videos.

It has almost every feature that a phone can have including GPS, wifi, and bluetooth. But that's to be expected with such an expensive piece. One of the factors contributing to the price is that it's currenty unlocked. This means that you can dump the SIM of any carrier into it. That's quite a bonus actually. However, once it does get tied up, the prices will drop significantly. You might want to consider buying it while it is still unlocked, as it will be a one of a kind phone after that.

It doesn't run Windows Mobile. Instead it runs the Symbian OS. There's plenty of support and software that is developed for this OS, and so you won't have trouble finding packages that do what you want. Also, it's Quickoffice suite enables you to open and use all word and excel documents, so you don't really miss not having a Windows OS.
