Nokia E71 Initial Thoughts

The lovely guys at WOMWorld have kindly sent me this totally awesome Nokia E71 to get my hands on. Ever since the announcement I’ve been eager to get my hands on it and get an impression for myself, as I always say it’s always better to make your own impression of any devices with a hands on approach.

Opening up the box reveals this lovely curvy, mix of metal and plastic that oozes style, sophistication and slenderness, size zero models eat your heart out!

I recently wrestled with the E61i in the wild (only pictures here, didn’t have time to put my views through, apologies) and was thoroughly impressed with the slim design and ergonomics of it all. But I did find it slightly wide. TheE71 doesn’t suffer form any of this, it’s no wider than your average handset, and slimmer than most others. Encased with great metallic edges it slides across your hands, and in and out of pockets with ease, be careful not to drop it!

More in depth views of this very promising handset will be coming as I have only had it for around 8 hours, if you have any questions feel free to  leave a comment and requests (Zach you’ve had your go).

Before I leave this post to go and play with it more, feel free to go through my Flickr feed of more pictures of the E71.
