My new phone: Nokia E71

05 Sep


 


My wife gifted me with a Nokia E71 for my birthday. :-) Thanks Teena. 


Above is a size comparison of E71 with my other gadgets: Nokia E61, Cingular 8525, iPod Touch and Nokia N810. It is the smallest. You have to hold it to feel how small it is. It has a very solid feel to it. It has got it all: US 3.5G, GPS, Bluetooth, QWERTY keyboard and is smaller than an iPhone!


The keyboard is great to type on even though it is smaller than the E61′s. I setup my Exchange account in this and all my contacts were in it almost instantly. I love Exchange Email. Now I am looking for cool apps to put in it. Let me know if there are any cool apps I should try…

    Great phone ! Best app for email is Profimail ( but I don’t know if that works with Exchange )

    Then papyrus for calendar, calcium for calculator and opera mini for web browsing.

    Hi Vasanth…I succumbed to iphone’s charm. But E71 seems to be a great phone. How do you feel the handling? Does the qwerty is spaced enough to type it fast?

    I will check out Profimail.

    Vamsi,

    The QWERTY keyboard is surprisingly great to use.
