Ladies and gents, I’m glad to report that Nokia (NYSE: NOK)’s WOM World has lent me the Nokia E71 smartphone for two weeks. As you’ve already seen/read other reviews on the Web, my goal won’t be to compete with other folks who did their job properly. Rather I’ll try to write about my day-to-day experience with the award-winning smartphone.
The first impression is overly positive. The device is super slick, thin and fits in a hand perfectly. Keyboard is just the right size, although I’m not the right guy to talk about this as I’ve used a number of QWERTY phones in the past and my thumbs know how to deal with even the weirdest of the keyboards. On a first glance, the E71’s predecessors, E61 and E61i, have a more comfortable keys, but after typing just a few sentences, you get used to the smaller keys of the E71…
Anyway, as I said I don’t want to review the device in great depth. I’ll try to post something about it every day. If you have any questions – I’m listening. The comments form is all yours…
BTW: It’s not just the Nokia E71 that was brought to me by DHL. Nokia also bundled its elegant BH-605 Bluetooth headset and a single Mapster, which now proudly sits on my desk. 
I can only say , lucky you ..:) Me and my girl love our E71.
which most be the sexiest and best smartphone ever.
Yes the E71 are amazing! It take some days to get use with the keypad
but after that , you never want to leave the E71.
It feel so nice in your hand and are so good-looking device in real .
I am about to get it from Amazon. I am on t-mobile, and was really looking forward to the G1 but it has too many ‘artificial’ restrictions (primarily no tethering, and no OBEX). For all its so-called openess, and despite my love for all things Google, the G1’s nearly obligatory binding to the Google ‘cloud’ is also a downer for me. Are you using the E71 on 3G (AT&T)? I just think Nokia is capable of building the perfect phone, and the E71 may be it, and I may end up switching (when tmo contract ends in February) to the evil AT&T purely to exploit this phone’s 3G.
Looking forward to more details.
