Faryal_SHaKeeL, 01 Aug 2008Hi All
That’s true battery is very poor that’s totally bluff about battery timing Talk Time... moreMaybe u would like to check with the retail shop on the orgin of your E71. Mine is Made By Nokia (which is in China). The QWERTY is in white on grey backing.
Battey usage for me is about 2.5 days before it dropped to 2 bars. I have set the email on auto-retrieval every 2 hours, made some calls about 90mins in all, took 5 pics (poor quality photos indeed), browsing the net of about 2 hours on 3G/HSDPA, about 20 smses. Network is set on Dual Mode. Quite impressive as long as the performance is concerned.
If the quality of the camera is higher then it will be great.
Does anyone has anything tips or tricks to share?

Tom, 30 Jul 2008e71 is a good phone, just one observation. i'm a heavy user of mobile internet. after surfing ... moreHi, I do face the same issue of increasing memory usage in the phone memory after some time of net browsing. What u can try to do is to take out the battery for about 15min then reboot it. According to Nokia, this should clear the phone temporary memory.

This is a good phone, 1 to 10 its 8.5 and I typing this comment through the E71 phone web browser and with wifi.
I like the looks, easy to type with one hand, different story with e61i which wider and that's my ex phone before upgrade.
GPS is good, its can measure exactly the speed of my car (though mapking still the best in windows mobile version), free of charge? not really because u need connection through 3G/HSDPA to fast search location (small kb of usage, so really2 cheap) and everything works well but 1, the smart input in home screen (what the f**k), it happen to almost all asian region phone. I've read the news, said that wait for next firmware upgrade.
The second thing I hate is the quality of camera capture, its worse for 3mp caliber.
But all the function are superb. Not slow no more like its brother e61i
Hope it help. Oh ya the battery.. Damn good.. I think it never drop bellow the last 2 bar.. Till i give up use it. It'll stand 4 days, or 3 with normal use. (almost the same but stronger than my E61i which will stand to 2-3 days of normal use).
If somebody experience bad battery, I think u've got a bad copy of battery or bad copy of phone chip inside, don't blame on the overall device, not all having a bad copy (include me and everyone that not complain)
In my N95, GPS is hungry power, so it will eat the battery faster, but not in this phone.
With this E71 I'm using GPS for almost an hour but it only take 1 bar of battery sign, it also drop after I use it for accepting incoming call for a couple minutes.
So that's the judgment come, hope it help makes decision.
Just one thing.. Bad Camera and absence of Smart dialing , can the firmware fix it? hope..

Akram Noorani, 01 Aug 2008can anyone tell me, that from where can i download and install free themes directly to my e71.www.mmcforums.net is one of the best sites...

since the topic has got out of the track i should also mention that the navigators DON'T have WI-FI.
so i see no compelling reason why someone should go for the navigators while they can have the navigation facility on almost all S60 v3 phones which are compatible with nokia maps and also have WI-FI.
and ARTIF, you're welcome mate. :-) we certainly do learn a lot of things from these forums.

Hi All
That’s true battery is very poor that’s totally bluff about battery timing Talk Time 10.hours that’s totally bluff
The main thing Review Made by the person y He told lie about battery timing?
What its mean can b?
I belongs to Construction Business and I m using this set since from 5.days and its never goes upto 3.hours just by making calls
I never listen the songs I never played the games but just works on Office Files twice ya thrice in a day but My daily use is about 4 to 5.hors I m totally disappointed by the performance of its battery
2nd Bad Thing
Its Keypad I have Dark one Dark Grey the Keypad is also Dark Grey and the Alphabets r in Blue Color some time not seen in Brightness have to rotate the set for some time to understand the letters that’s bad thing
I got that set because of its battery timing but its disappointed me and the Second thing which made sad that’s its Keypad Dark Grey and Blue Alphabets
Mine one is Made in Korea
(Made in Korea Under the Authority Of Nokia Corporation Finland)
That’s Printed on The Box
That’s Genuine (Original One)
But I cant understand what Its mean?
Before this I was using Nokia E51 I Love that one
Now I m Unhappy with This One
These two things Make Me Sad I m not happy With That One totally disappointed

I bought this phone about a week ago and I simply love it! Texting is great and the battery life is quite excellent (although I'm coming from a Samsung E840... and the battery was quite average or even slightly below with that model).
Just one thing: I can't figure out how to change the volume of the tones. For example, I like the volume of my ringer... but what if I want my tone for text messages or e-mail notifications to be quieter? I can't figure out how to change that. Other than that... I abolutely LOVE this phone =)

I'm using a Nokia E51 and i use nokia maps in it. All i did was download the map i wanted via Nokia Map Loader and downloaded the voice i wanted to hear. and presto! i get voice navigation for free.

It functions better than Nokia maps too - check out GSM Arena's review for more info.
I would assume that the 6210 Navigator would run the same programme so it should also be SUBSCRIPTION FREE. Check out the info on this web-site for more info though.

im using N82,N95,P990i,communicator 9500,Ngage QD
did u say that guided voice navigation does not need to be subscribed on the Navi6210? are sure? can anyone else confirm this? if this is true,im sorry for giving the wrong info,but i was pretty sure u have to pay for that service..hmm..
oh,about the zoom factor on the N95 8GB and N82,as i said,those are minute differences.too small to consider,because these phones uses digital zoom,not optical.digital zoom only blows up the picture causing the picture quality to degrade.
"But I think its for free in the navigator, plus there will be some extra software for navigating?!"------im not sure what u meant by this..were u asking something or making a statement?

Its ok,just let them critic.those are guys with low mentality.let met just tell them that it just shows how low their knowlegde is,but still have the guts to degrade other people.for their info,yes the term EM waves is correct.GPS utilizes mainly short and long wavelength EM waves.the short is where the information is,the long wavelength is used as a carrier wave.that is the simplest way i can explain.dumb people of course would not understand.and Tom,good luck in choosing.and just for ur info,i work with GPS devices on day to day basis.these are just among the devices i work with.so i dont mind if u or they think im fooling u,but if i can recall correctly,u were the one asking for an explanation. :-)

I had an N73 and an N80 and i thought they were both slow as dogs. I know symbian is a bit heavy and lags a bit but was wondering if this phone is considerably faster. thanks!

WOW that was some explaining thanks a lot. Electromagnetic waves are you serious lol.
Btw what cell are you using?
I dont see a point getting N95 just for the memory and screen.
You said if I wanted guided voice navigation then I have to pay for it? But I think its for free in the navigator, plus there will be some extra software for navigating?!
You missed 1 point about N95 has 20X zoom against 10 for N82.
OK so I wont be getting E series after all.
N82 or the navigator is it.
Or should I take Winura advice and wait lets see.

Thanks for the details.
I am leaning very much towards N82 and the new navigator now.
LOL ok I will try to wait till christmas but don't think I can.
1 important question can you close the flash completely when taking a pic and the click sound?
Same question while video recording.
