isner, 24 Jan 2011guyz im really confused between e71 and c6 plz help......My eldest Sister uses E71 while i use C6. The both have all most the same features but just that, C6 is very much newer and Advance than E71 in production and lesser camera quality than C6. I believe if u have C6, you will enjoy it most.

this is the only phone that i have more than two years. and after this two years of usage i still love it, and even now i don't want to replace it with something else. battery life for me is amazing. 5-6 days with 2g, great keyboard, great everything for me. who knows. maybe when the e7 will be out, and it will be good there'll be a threat for my one on the market ;)

Anonymous, 22 Jan 2011 Hi WeWillSeeHowNokiaGoe ,
Thanx for ur valuable information..as per ur suggestion I h... more"as U told "Newer isn't always better" so it does not sense to wait till mid February on the basis of rumor"
Well.. That's true, considering you will still have to wait a bit until the announced products hit resellers.
As per your criteria:
1) Executive look
I'd say E71 wins. Its casing is full metal. It'll be great if you can get a black E71, it looks a lot better.
E5 only has metal backplating, the rest of its body is reinforced plastic (it also looks slightly too colorful for that executive look).
2) Long Battery life especially Long Talk time
E5 lasts longer. In standby, it winds hands down. I think it's currently one of the best value (if not the best) in terms of speed-battery-price ratio.
3)
Free from Soft. Hanging & other Software related troubles.
I can't say much about E5, since it's still too new. I'm guessing you'll still have problems because it's a Symbian v3 with new modifications to look more modern. They WILL release more updates in the future.
E71 has matured, I personally don't think they will release any more firmwares after the current one (if they are, it's most probably Ovi related, not system stability fix).
I can't remember when the last time my E71 froze.
There's also http://www.e71fanatics.com/ ,filled with a lot of useful tips & tricks get the most out of your device.
4) Durability
I didn't see any durability improvements from E71 to E5. I'm not sure about E5's plastic quality. It's tough, but I don't know how good it holds when you drop it. Some people E5's LCD screen is very easy to scratch.
I've dropped my E71 three times on tile floor and it still works fine without freezing. E71 has its own quirk tho. In a dusty environment, the dust can slip behind the LCD cover. If that happens, you'll need to open the casing and clean the inside. Instruction: http://www.geardiary.com/2008/11/02/nokia-e71-screen-a-little-dusty-diy-temporary-fix/
Extra consideration:
In terms of performance, E5 is a definite improvement over E71. Faster processor, more responsive, with longer battery life. It can handle a lot tasks.
If you're going to run a lot of apps simultaneously (Instant messaging, Music player. Social Networking) in your phone, E71 can be slow.
If component positioning in the phone matters to you, you would probably like E71 more. E5 has some weird component placement (power charging slot, antenna in the bottom of the casing, etc.)

joseph raoof, 22 Jan 2011very good phone,,,but its battery kind of weak ?!?Hi, I've been using the e71 for 2 years now.
It's still one of the best phones around.
Power consumption is low and I usually recharge mine every 3 days (using pushmail, music and some browsing / tweeting).
