The 2008 Mobile Choice Awards went down last night, and the Nokia (NYSE: NOK) E71 went home as the big winner, but Samsung did pretty well for itself, too. Other notables include…
- Phone of the Year: Nokia E71
- Best Smartphone: Nokia E71
- Best Manufacturer: Samsung
- Best Cameraphone: Samsung i8510
- Best Music Phone: Samsung F400
- Readers’ Choice: iPhone 3G
- Operator of the Year: O2 (NYSE: TEF)
- Best Customer Service: Virgin Mobile (for eight years running!)
What do you guys think? Fair choices? Obviously I’m partial to the BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Bold for Best Smartphone, but having had some face time with the E71, I can certainly say its construction is a notch above.

I would have certainly been upset if the iPhone 3G or a BlackBerry phone was chosen instead.
I am indeed a happy man with this verdict
may i ask whose photo was used in there ‘cos if it is Bernie Mack then that is totally disrespectful.
Ok, I’ll buy one
Well I have the E71 and is no suprise it win .
For the low price and what you get.
The E71 is one obvious winner
@jay Don’t worry, it was Samuel L. Jackson.
Yup. I agree. E71 is by far the most advanced piece of gadget on the planet right now! I have it and it blows me away with Navigation, quick as hell, wifi is awesome, camera is cool but i never us it, great music phone, radio is cool to have on the go, the design is to die for, and best of all.. the battery!!!
Good choice!
iphone 3G is cool but 5years behind this!
#AC Then you make the right choice !
The E71 are awsome good and with real sexy look !
I`m with you, people! I`m also going to buy E71.
Freddy says “For the low price and what you get.” I’ve been looking into the E71 for all the great features and design, but low price????? It looked pretty pricey. Has the price come down?
Yes the price are awsome approximately
400$ Unlocked , Simfree!
Almost half of the price for resemble devices .
Yes you read right approximately 400 US dollar not GBP..:) you get the best smartphone
and phone of the year.
Thats awsome ! I anderstand why the E71 win .
Is so sexy and greate device..:)
How’s the speaker phone like? Loud enough? Cos the one on my e51 sucks. Am thinking of upgrading to either the e71 or e90 cos I need the QWERTY keyboard as I do more texting than talking now and I prefer speaker phone over placing it at my ear…
That’s a surprise.. A two year old OS won.
Too bad they left out BBConnect in the E71 version, it would have been a no-brainer as a “blackberry killer”. Still, probably one of the best QWERTY devices around IMO.
We hope BBC come later ,
Yes thats why E71 wins the Best Smartphone
and Phone of the Year.
Congrats E71 ! Are there more coulors then grey and white for the E71 ?

During the last twelve months I’ve purchased the iPhone, HTC Touch Pro and now the Nokia E71 (10/10. Arrived 10/11), and I have to say that this phone is awesome. While the HTC Touch Pro TouchFlo 3D is a nice application, the device is still a WinMo behind the curtain. Further the hinge design, while responsive, is still unbalanced.
The E71 has performed, during the last 24 hours, well beyond my expectations. The highlights:
* Dual Modes (Fully Customizable)
* Form Factor & Quality
* Speaker Volume
* Video Ringer (Seriously. Video ID)
* POP3 Email Setup
On the Cons side:
* No Email Embedded HTML Support
* MS Exchange Email Sync Not Intuitive, but it is Reliable
* Not Buying This Thing 12 Months Ago
Just amazing that the E71 Best smartphone 2008 and phone of the year
I see in symbianfreak that E71 and E66 already get new firmwire !With even more improvments.
Thank you Nokia
I love my E71.
That’s it. I am buying one too.
Yes me to , my friend use the E71 and I’m soooo envious,
I want the white one .
I think I’ll go with grey one
lol , Not only the best smartphone out there, but also the sexiest !
Blackberry Bold is so much better than the Nokia E71, i’ve had them both and the Bold is superior!
Nah The E71 are much better then bold , Thats why the jury choice
the E71 and Nokia E71 went home as the big winner.
Make note that E71 are not only the best smartphone but also phone of the year.
wish .wmv files would play on my E71 – any ideas, otherwise a great phone
I am really happy about the outcome. I have had my E71 for a little over 4 months now and I am TOTALLY in love with it. I wouldn’t exchange it for anything! It’s light, it’s trendy, it’s comfortable to hold up to your ear, excellent reception, awesome features … just an awesome smartphone all-round!
With the nokia E71 will i resive my emails , facebook etc direct to it\ my friend has the blackberry bold and gets his emails with ease to his inbox on his mobile, just wondering if that will be the case on this as I want to get it from 3network with unlimited tex and internet and emails
