Nokia E71 - The Conclusion
Looking back at my previous posts on the Nokia E71; The Initial Impression, The Lowdown and The Letdown it’s time to put the final thoughts and conclusion on this topsy turvy review of this device.
Firstly I’d like to point all the reviews I do are unbiased and I personally think you need to highlight both the positives of the device and the negatives equally, although there are levels of both that need to be taken into account. I’d like to finish this review on a positive note, because this is what the E71 deserves! Even with it’s downfalls of having a poor camera, 2.5mm jack and no support for Blackberry Connect it is still a fabulous device. It’s in my personal opinion the second best device Nokia have made (from which of those I’ve played with), my all time favourite is the N82 btw!
The Nokia E71 does many things with ease! With it’s fast processor you don’t get any lag in operation and comparing it to my N95 now it’s obviously clear how slow it is in comparison to the E71. The E71 has enough RAM installed to run multiple applications with ease, the battery life on it is extraordinary! Running SEVEN on my N95 now just shows how good that battery life is! I’ve had to charge the N95 twice today already because of SEVEN running. The E71 removed my inhibitions of watching out for battery life left, it was always there! I never had to think about charging it before going out, or how much was left on the trip home, it didn’t matter!
One other major thing the E71 does well and you’d never notice until it happened - a reboot! Yes, I had it for 3 weeks almost and had one crash on it, mainly due to installing some beta software on it, but other than that I took for granted the sheer stability of the device’s OS!
Physically it’s a great piece of machinery, it oozes class with touches of metal, the slenderness of it all, it’s the envy of anyone that saw it, always getting comments like “Wow, that is so thin!” “Ooh look how sleek it is!” These were but a few of the comments drawn from admiring the device without touching it or playing with it. Blackberry owners were jealous of the stunning E71, because that’s what it is - a stunner!
So who would this handset appeal to? Those that need a qwerty device - yes, those that want e-mail on the go - yes, those that want a sophisticated device - yes, those that want long battery life - yes, those that don’t want any hassle - yes, those that want to upgrade their E Series - yes, those that want to upgrade their N Series - perhaps. For those that want all the aforementioned - YES!
This device is awesome, just go out and buy it!

The N95 browsing experience is pretty good as it stands, so if the E71 is on par that is probably a good thing.
Thanks!!
