Nokia E71 - user opinions and reviews

Got an E71 on Vodafone here in the UK. After a heavy days useage, here is one question/complaint and then some comments: a) Incoming calls sound muffled, and those I talk to say I sound muffled too. Anyone else notice this? b) Built quality freat - very heavy infact. c) Zipping around the phone is nice - it is zippy. :-) d) The interface is visually antiquated, way behind the slick and well conceived Sony Ericsson look. Even my prior SE K800i of two years is better. e) Huge waste of space in the interface. IE, menu items for turning items ON or OFF are way to large and have large gaps meaning more scrolling up and down. (Same with all Nokia Series 60 phones, inc N95 series.) f) Sound quality from the radio using headphones is nothing on my N95 8G. Radio not as senstitive as N95. g) Calendar is pretty good (my second top use of the phone.) h) Email integration is good - although checking Gmail is unreliable, unlike Yahoo. i) Camera is not too bad really. No purple on my pics, but a bit noisy in the dark areas. (Not as good as the N95, but we knew that already.) j) Key backlight does not light up unless it is really dark, which is annoying. I will see if there is a way to make the backlighting stay on all the time. k) The web browser is excellent, easily the best of any phone I have ever used. Very fast and renders the pages very well. Better than the iPhone in my opinion as you don't need to waste time zooming in and out all the time. Playing YouTube videos looks great! l) Small screen and therefore, font size, does strain the eyes a bit. Now I know what it is like to be a Blackberry users! But the E71 is way more stylish and versatile. Chosen over an iPhone by the way. If the iPhone has a 3MP (or greater) auto focus camera, better battery life, stereo bluetooth, a removable battery and was available on Vodafone, I would have got one, no matter the ineffective touch screen keyboard. Phew!

Anonymous, 20 Aug 2008Okay! And Can we edit office documents with E66?
No, the bundled Office app that comes with the E66 only lets you open the documents.
If you want to edit them, you'll have to buy the Office app for that mobile.

Can the PC Suite for this phone sync Outlook recurring appointments properly?
Nokia PC Suite 6.84 can't do it and screws up the appointments in Outlook if you do a bi-directional sync.
