Two Nokia Symbian S60 smartphones were honered by Wired Magazine’s test issue. The first of the two is the Nokia E71, which I’m currently testing and honestly I’m not surprised to see it praised by Wired. The device nabbed the “Test Best Cell Phone” title, scoring nine out of 10, in the November issue, which…
Nokia E71 – day 4: Playing with the apps
Today I’m playing with the apps. Not the regular ones that come with every Symbian S60 device, but with few apps that Nokia’s WOM World folks pre-loaded on the E71 that was sent to me. Without further ado, let’s start: First comes the Advanced Call Manager, a handy tool for those that receive tons of…
Nokia E71 – day 3: Taking it to the gym!
As I promised yesterday, I’m taking the E71 to the gym. It doesn’t go alone, though, I’m also bringing my Motorola ROKR S9 headphones to pair it with the Nokia smartphone. The duo should be more than good enough to help me go through my training. Before leaving the house, I have to test the…
Nokia E71 – day 2: Three things I don’t like about it
OK, I admit I’m lazy today. The air pressure is super-low and I’m not feeling well. I won’t go to the gym today as I previously said I will. Instead I’m going to ramble about some things I don’t like about the Nokia E71. These are all minor things, but they do stand in my…

Nokia N96 available with US 3G frequency support
Have you been waiting to get your hands on the successor to Nokia’s Nseries throne? The Nokia N96’s glossy-black styling, 16GB of on-board storage, and 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera make it the cream of Nokia’s S60-crop. But, without a US-compatible 3G radio, the European Nokia N96 isn’t exactly a prudent investment. So, for those…
Nokia E71 – day 1: Loving it!
After sending just a couple of text messages, I consider myself to be a master of the E71’s keyboard. It’s that easy, or that’s just me with my tiny thumbs. 🙂 Right from the bat, I’ve installed two apps which I use on a daily basis. Those are: Fring – best Symbian S60 IM client…

Nokia N85 with US 3G caught on the FCC!
The Nokia N85 with US 3G has been caught on the FCC’s website. We’ve no doubts the stylish OLED screen-equipped slider will sell like hot cupcakes in Europe and some parts of Asia, but when it comes to the North America, it seems Nokia still struggles to get enough people excited about its products. I…
Nokia E71 is in da house!
Ladies and gents, I’m glad to report that Nokia’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…
