NCKLA E71

Now this is going way to far. What you see on the image above is a blatant violations of a number of Nokia’s copyrights. The so called NCKLA E71-2 costs way less than the original Nokia E71 (mere $119 at Solomobi), but the quality seems spotty, to say the least. In a nutshell – you should avoid buying it, at any cost!

Just in case you’re curious, here the specs of the NCKLA phone:

  • 2.1-inch QVGA touchscreen
  • Two SIM card slots – now that I’m thinking, I would love to have this on the original Nokia E71 and some other phone, too
  • VGA (0.3 megapixel) camera
  • Bluetooth
  • “Stereo loud speaker” – whatever that means
  • microSD memory card slot

Specs wise it doesn’t sound that bad, but it is, trust me!

  • NOT A HAPPY CAMPER

    I got tricked by the supplier. I when to a store in Sawgrass Mills USA to purchase a Nokia E71. I was shown a Nokia E71, to my surprise when I open the box when I arrived at home I had (a what every you call it phone), not the Nokia E71 I wanted. Unfortunately I do not live in the USA so I could not return it. I am so MADDDD
