The E71 looks more like a Blackberry killer, but don’t be fooled: This great white hope from Finland is a smart device that gives the iPhone a run for its money in a lot of different areas (yes, really).

Read the full review →Packing in a very usable QWERTY keyboard into such a pocketable device is impressive. That coupled with the device’s overall responsiveness, bundled applications and a number of welcome improvements to S60’s User Interface, have made it a joy to use.

This is one of the sturdiest phones I've ever used; mostly steel with small plastic sections for the antennas. The keyboard feels great and natural; it's very easy to use one- or two-handed. The built-in AGPS, along with newer versions of Nokia Maps is both useful and precise. Little...

I really wanted to love this phone. I came from an iPhone 3G and needed a workhorse of a phone. The immense battery life and overall build quality didn't dissapoint. It truly is one of the best phones out there when it comes to hardware. Perfect size and weight, thin as hell... However, no...

If you fall under the category of people who dont give a rat's ass for pretext or the "it" factor and just need the fone to get your work done and move on , then this is the fone for you. I cannot say enough about the robustness. The software leaves a lot to be desired but heck...

In my opinion this phone is more a business phone than eye candy like the iphone. I think it has everything it needs, and yes, it doesn't have a touch screen, but wasn't that clear in the first place? That's why you get such good battery life. All the touch phones have loads of...

The upsides : Great hardware, long lasting battery and clear bright screen. The camera is also very good and has a flash. The keyboard is a brilliant balance between speed and size, works really well. HSDPA works fantastically in the UK. Symbian S60 is a great OS although needs some updating...

The hardware is beautiful and perfectly designed. I have never seen more sensible keyboard layout on a phone. The screen is exactly the right size for what it needs to do, too. From a software UI perspective, this phone is awful! For the first day or so. But you get a phone for years and if you...

E71 is nice looking, relatively small and its qwerty keyboard is the best tactile keyboard I've ever used in a phone. On the other hand its S60 UI is slow and awkward to use. Browser is very slow, email client doesn't support HTML email, and podcast client and multimedia features are...

I Love This! (rinse & repeat!) So the above is really not a classic use of the English language in reviewing the Nokia E71. I know Apple has there "fanboys" what does Nokia have? Nokiaheads? Nokiafreaks? Just can't find that perfect cliché word to show off what all of us...
