E71 looks so good in Silver

If you want simplicity with powerful Smartphone features then you’re in for a treat! Nokia E71 is a more simple approach to the Smartphone market – it is loaded with all the features you would need and some more. Nokia is usually known for its simple yet long-lasting features and this has made the E71 an immediate hit among users that want entertainment to go with business.

One of the first Nokia phones to feature a QWERTY keyboard – the E71 is sure to charm anyone with its astonishingly good looks. And more unexpected is that it comes from Nokia which is known to make anti-slim phones. I’ve used a Nokia N80 – so ask me!

One thing that made me disappoint ?is Nokia E71’s lack of touch-screen which should have been incorporated into it. Come on Nokia, every phone now a days has a multi-touch! But it doesn’t hurt much thanks to the nicely laid out QWERTY keyboard which is so easy to use.

The Nokia E71 is equipped with a comparatively better camera than what Nokia users are used to – a ?generous 3.2 megapixel camera. Even though a 3.2 megapixel camera is good it could have been better with camera optics.

As far as image and video quality is concerned the Nokia E71 will satisfy your inner photographer because you can take pictures and videos in a variety of light situations.

Nokia recently unveiled its own app store, Ovi and you can use Ovi to upload and share your pictures and videos you take from your Nokia E71.

One thing that stood out was the quality of the hardware, I mean it just feels like a piece of art and you can mistake it as something from Apple. Nokia has done a great job at designing a phone that’d suit everyone from BlackBerry users to iPhone freaks and perhaps people who demand more (simplicity)!

The E71 comes with 2 customizable home screens – one for entertainment (pictures, MP3’s and videos) and other for your business (Word, Powerpoint and Adobe PDF Reader). Now you don’t have to worry mixing everything into one! You can just toggle the screens easily ?through the menu.

I quickly realized that I liked E71 keyboard more than I did of the iPhone. Firstly, it is easier getting used to the E71 keyboard and there’s not much room for typos as it is with iPhone.

Nokia E71 Battery Life

Nokia has always been popular due to the sturdy and long-lasting nature of its batteries. Everything being same I’d choose a Nokia any given day due to the fact that Nokia batteries last longer than any other phone I’ve seen so far. When it comes to battery Nokia E71 is no exception. You can expect a good long battery life and moderate use of the phone can easily last you a good 3-day battery life! Well, my BlackBerry gives approximately 4-day battery life when I ain’t pounding on its keyboard and approximately a little more than 2 days if I am using it as I’d normally would.

Never get lost, again!

With a built-in GPS you can be sure that you don’t get lost. The GPS antenna is placed over the top of the Nokia E71 and so the reception is pretty good and almost perfect.

Store What you need and How much you need

I am a sucker for a good amount of external storage even if I don’t use much of it. And if you want a lot of storage space too then E71 gives you just that – an external 8GB microSD slot. It is very easy to access and gives you a lot of space to work with – you don’t have to worry about your pics and vids anymore – atleast quite a few days!

One of the better pleasures of using the E71 is that the screen is easy-to-read even in sunlight – a thing a lot of phone manufactures can learn. E71 is quick with its OS and has nicely made use of pleasing graphics.

The E71 comes in 2 colors – Silver and Black. Silver is classy while Black oozes style – I personally prefer Silver.

There are a lot of apps for E71 but I’d leave that for another article.

Are you thinking of buying an E71? Do you have one? What’s your take on this masterpiece from Nokia? Any and all comments are really appreciated!
