I got my E71 a few days ago. I've had an N70, E61, E61i and now the E71. This is one of the best all-round phones you will find today.
Every phone has pros & cons. This one is extremely well balanced. I use it for business and fun. It's ideal. In fact in South Africa they are still scarce so the demand is huge.
VIVA E-Series VIVA!!!

Great phone!!! Before I had the E61i and I loved it but now, after getting this phone, I'm just blown away.
I totally agree with all the reviews. It's quick, supports my 8gb ultra card and not even to speak about the sound.
In short: get it!

I've been using the e71 for about two weeks and I'm sort of disappointed. Has a lot of great features, but some major misses in my opinion:
- Out of the box the camera does not have the ability to geocode photos using the built in GPS. I've seen references online to options to do so but these options don't appear on my phone (totally stock e71 from the Nokia Store in Chicago)
- The e70 had a feature called "Access Groups" which let you bundle and rank access methods together. You could bundle your home Wifi with your provider's GPRS method and then set that bundle as the preferred access point. So you'd use Wifi at home and GPRS while away from home. This is missing from the e71. You can either select an access point each time, or hardcode to one access point (eg: GPRS or Wifi or 3G).
- The e70 had an annoying thing that the e71 continues with: there's no apparent way to "bless" an application to use your network services. So to start the Gmail app you have to 1) approve it using the network 2) select the access method to use and optionally 3) select the wifi access point if you're roaming wifi. This is incredibly annoying (compounded by the dropping of access point groups)
- there's no Mac support out of the box, no support for iSync. Sure, lots of hacks to download, but come on, there are other O/S's than Windows.
- There seems to be a hardcoded limit of two network connections at a time, and no two apps can use/reuse the same connection. So I can have a GPRS and a Wifi connection going in parallel but I can't have two apps use my home Wifi at the same time.
I like the camera, I like the feel and balance of the phone, but feel that Nokia have made some decisions to restrict use of the phone and network services even further than what was found on the e70. Unless Nokia make an update to the software that addresses these limitations I can't recommend the e71.

Since I am really desperate to know the reason and solution for the issue i am having with my only 7 days old nokia E71 that i am again putting query in this site. My piece has got an unique problem (I really do not know whether it is a problem or this issue is with others' mobile also) that the MENU button in my mobile stops working anytime in a day and even after trying a lot by pressing the button, it simply gets hung and the Menu simply does not appear. Meanwhile all other buttons work properly. when i restart the mobile is starts working properly including the MENU button also. Can any body tell me pleeeeeeeeease what can be the reason and what can be the solution??? is any body also facing the same issue ???? i have faced the same problem 5 times till now..... please revert as soon as possible.

now nokia should now capitalise on E71's success! How, by listening to user and give us what we want!
For the next e series qwerty phone, it should improve on the following:
1. Have a slightly bigger screen, maybe 2.6 inch to 2.8 inch screen as compare to the current 2.4 inch one.
2. Have slightly bigger qwerty buttons. While the the e71 are small but easy to use, I think they would be even better if they are made slightly bigger and still be able to type with one hand.
3. Give it a decent camera and camera software. A good 3.2 mp cam or a 5mp one. Not to forget to improve on the software part. The e71's camera software is simply bad. Colour need to be improved. To improve on video frame rate.
4. No more greasy finger print stain. Maybe use satin or brush finished metal or good plastic for the back casing.
5. Have a 3.5mm phone jack? Why not?
