Amazon.com Product Description
The latest email-optimized device from the Nokia E-series, the sleek and slender Nokia E71x from AT&T makes it easy to stay on top of your email inbox with a full QWERTY keyboard and support for corporate communication via Microsoft Exchange. The phone can quickly download video, music and more over AT&T's lightning quick HSPDA 3G network. Additionally, with AT&T's 3G network, you can listen to a conference call on a headset while sending and receiving e-mail attachments, picture messages or Web pages at the same time. This GPS-enabled phone can access the AT&T Navigator service for turn-by-turn directions as well as its Video Share serve, which enables you to send video of yourself to another compatible phone while making a voice call.



The svelte stainless steel Nokia E71x keeps you mobilized with a broad range of personal and professional messaging needs.


The amazingly slim Nokia E71x measures just 10mm (0.39 inches) thin.
It also includes integrated Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11b/g) for accessing open networks at work, at home, and on the road from a variety of wireless hotspots. Other features include a 3.2-megapixel camera/camcorder, Bluetooth for handsfree devices and stereo music streaming, MicroSD memory expansion (up to 8 GB), and up to 5 hours of talk time on standard GSM networks.

AT&T Service
This AT&T phone can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T's 3G mobile broadband data network, which is available in most major metropolitan areas. The AT&T 3G network uses the dual-band 850/1900 MHz 3G network (UMTS/HSDPA), which provides download speeds ranging from 700 Kbps to 1.7 Mbps, and upload speeds ranging from 500 Kbps to 1.2 Mbps. This makes it possible to enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless multimedia services, and it gives you the advantage of offering simultaneous voice and data services.

In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average data speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go. You'll also enjoy quad-band GSM connectivity, which allows you to make calls in more than 190 countries and access data applications in the more than 135 countries where AT&T offers international data roaming.

With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access AT&T's Video Share service, which enables you to send a live, one-way video stream to another compatible phone during a standard voice call. The service also allows you to switch the direction of the video stream during the same phone call. (Customers must be in an area served by the company's 3G network and have a Video Share-enabled phone.) While using Video Share with family and friends is a fun way to communicate, it's also very useful for business. For example, a majority of users in the architecture, engineering and construction industries rated the ability to share live video through Video Share highly, according to research commissioned by AT&T. Video Share lets you see progress on a job site or review the day's work without having to drive from an office or other site to do so.

You can take advantage of the AT&T Navigator GPS software and service, a full-featured premium navigation application that includes audible turn-by-turn directions, real-time traffic updates and re-routing options, and 3D moving maps (additional charges applicable). AT&T Navigator offers several other features to make your commute more enjoyable and reliable, including mobile access to Yellowpages.com. Additionally, AT&T Navigator is the only mobile phone-based GPS service that provides integrated speech recognition for address entry and points of interest search.

With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access AT&T's Cellular Video (CV) service and the Internet while on the go. Cellular Video features content from CNN, The Weather Channel, iFilm, Comedy Central and exclusive premium content from HBO and much more. And you get access to AT&T Mobile Music, which enables you to buy tracks while on the, access the Napster and eMusic subscription music services, stream music video, discover what's playing with Music ID song-recognition software, and find out what's hot with The Buzz music news portal.

3 out of 5 stars Doesn't live up to Nokia standards   February 20, 2010
N. Sumstine (Pacific Northwest)
"Just another customer" summed up my experience well, but I decided to add a bit anyway.

First of all let me say I am an average tech person - not great, but not inept either. I did not buy the phone for the apps or the internet availability. I thought I might eventually want, if not need, some of these options. It really is more than I need in a phone. But that isn't a problem.

The reasons I chose this phone are:
*it is a Nokia (I'm a true believer or was until recently),
*it is made of steel (heavy as a brick!): My stuff gets a bit of abuse and I wanted something that wouldn't break easily,
*it doesn't have external parts that might break (slider, flip),
*it had the possibility of more functions when I wanted them, and
*it has a decent (if not perfect)calendar.

The first thing I look for is the calendar functionality. This is THE most important thing to me.
The calendar is workable, the alarms can be customized (not just 15, 30 or 60 minutes before the event). It has anniversary, to do, meeting and memo options. It has a designated calendar key, as well as "home" "phonebook" and "message" keys. The calendar is clean but the options are still a bit limiting.
Note here: I used to have a Nokia 6126 and loved it. It had the best calendar functions I have used. The one I really wanted but haven't found on any other phone yet is the call reminder on the calendar function. One could input a number either from the address book, or other, as well as set the alarm. When the alarm goes off, hit the call key (green phone) and the call is made. so simple. Why doesn't the e71 have this?

I thought the full keypad would be nice, it is. Though the keys are small, they are beveled. It takes some help figuring out the function keys, but it is easy once you know how to make it work. The ?!:;,&;.@/-+ keys are all readily available on the keypad, which is nice. I do occasionally hit the wrong key, I don't have large hands, but do have moderate length fingernails.

This phone is anti-intuitive! I have to look up how to look up how to connect things and turn on options almost every time I want to make a change (granted I don't do it often so forget from one time to the next how to connect the bluetooth or whatever).

I have a lot of problem with dropped calls - never had a problem with my old Nokia flip phone.

I was having problems with the speaker - it seemed to vibrate so the sounds/voices came through garbled.

I have all the updates. Nokia and ATT told me to reset my phone and the problems would disappear. Well, that didn't happen. I still get dropped calls, just not every other call, more like every third call. After reset I had to reconnect all my bluetooth, etc. (which means I had to look up how to do it again!) One isn't reset yet because I can't find the manual. (Sigh. I'll look again today.)

There are no headphone jack options which work for this phone. It has a micro jack, and I have a micro converter but the headphones still won't operate, it requires bluetooth headphones.

I'm glad I have a warranty because I'm going to have to send this thing back. I wish I hadn't bought it. I don't hate it, but I don't love it, thus 3 stars.



3 out of 5 stars Eh, it's an ok phone.   February 15, 2010
DJ
I bought this phone in August of '09, and it's been an ok phone. I am a fast texter, and it does NOT keep up with me. So you have to type slow! The Operating System is not too bad. There are a lot of neat features included with this phone. Wi-fi comes in handy a lot! It has good sound quality, and the battery lasts for a week, even using it a lot. I'm impressed, but there are a few things that I would change. It is technologically inclined, so if you aren't, I don't recommend this to you. It is very durable for an expensive phone. I dropped it when I tripped on concrete, and it just had a one scuff on the top. Camera is great. When you take a video, the flash is always on. There is no way to turn that off, and I wish there was. The flash is very bright and useful, however. It holds a lot of text messages, I think I had around 5000 before I had to clear it, and yes it took awhile to clear them. There are a lot of things that you are able to change, like the menu buttons, soft keys, etc. It is a very nice phone, but as I said: there are things that I would change. I would recommend it.


3 out of 5 stars I wish I owned the unlocked Nokia E71-2 and not the E71x   December 19, 2009

2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Love: Google Maps w/GPS, 1-handed operation, 16GB Media Card, Nokia for Exchange, Coreplayer for FLAC files, Internet Radio, Stereo Bluetooth, Laptop tethering, size, weight & feel, InvisiShield for the glass, Wifi.

Like: Sound quality, keyboard, Nokia PC Suite, customization, replaceable battery, Skyfire browser, Some Nokia games, Nokia Company Directory lookup, and the "find phone number" option in calendar requests and emails.

Tolerate: Camera, AT&T apps that cannot be removed, LOTS of clicks and menus, complicated icons (what's a directory and what's an app?), non-standard headphone jack, the Sony E71 headphone w/mic adapter, Proprietary charger, QuickOffice

Hate:
1) Symbian. Stupid, antiquated, clunky... Certificate signing is a frustrating joke. Finding applications on the internet is a pain.

2) Antenna placement. Reception varies based on where you place your hand--cup your hand over the bottom and watch the bars drop...Yes, your friends are laughing at you, not with you.

3) AT&T's crippling of the operating system & firmware. Specifically, I want the data/3G/edge on/off switch like I used to have with WinMo. I **think** that would help the biggest peeve of all-- it drops calls. A LOT. I also want Nokia updates not AT&T ones that contain upsell garbage in them.

4) The time lag between Nokia's firmware updates, and AT&T's. The AT&T Firmware is at least a version behind Nokia's.

Infuriating:
A) It drops calls all the time! even with good strong signal. But that only happens when I'm on the phone... I think it's AT&T's setup, as there's very little negative feedback on the E71-2 unlocked version.

B) I was just really burned badly when I took the phone to Europe and couldn't turn off the data sync feature. My bill will be a few hundred bucks for that.

so, if you don't need to use it as a phone, it's a pretty good pda & music player... I wish it was a phone.







1 out of 5 stars Starts out great, and just gets worse   November 28, 2009

4 out of 6 found this review helpful

I have had this phone about three months, and I hate (read: HATE) it for a number of reasons. I use this phone for work, and have it tied back to our company Exchange environment via Active Sync. Now here's why I hate it so much:

1. Too often (most of the time) I have to make multiple selections just to get to where I want to go. For example, to get to my work Exchange e-mail I have to make 4 selections. This should be one-button programmable.

2. Caller ID often does not work, even if the person is in my address book.

3. The phone makes way too many annoying beeps, and has this stupid data tracker that turns off at the beginning of each call (with a beep) and back on at the end of each call (another beep). It often turns on and off randomly as well..with a beep...usually while I am sleeping. Yes I could put it on vibrate, but then I wouldn't hear it ring would I?

4. Software is slow to respond. Press a key, wait, press another key, wait, go back to the beginning because it waited so long I pressed the key again and now I am somewhere I don't want to be.

5. Ever time my company network password changes, I spend 30 minutes trying to find the option to reset my password in the Mail for Exchange client on the phone. Very annoying. I am an IT guy, the menus should not be this hard to figure out.

6. The keyboard is not easy to use. It's a bit too small to type very fast.

7. Call logs are bad, at best. Want to return a missed call...press another 3 keys to do it.

I could go on and on, but basically, the software is what sucks about this phone. I replaced a very old Blackberry with this, and I wish I had the Blackberry back.



1 out of 5 stars E71 proves Nokia does not understand the term "smart phone"   November 22, 2009

I've now had my E71 for a month and I stand by my initial opinion that you should not buy this phone unless you are a geek!!

And you should DEFINITELY not buy this phone if you want to connect to a Microsoft Exchange Server for your email.

Seriously, I could pitch in all sorts of crazy, quirky and downright silly aspects of the Nokia E71, but the reality is that unlike the iPhone or Windows Mobile, you HAVE to be a geek to not only drive your E71, but actually enjoy using it.

In terms of hardware, the E71 is a delight - the screen is readable even in bright sunlight; battery is very good; the keyboard looks way too small but is fantastically easy to use and very well laid out; it is slim and featherweight and yet feels very solid.

In terms of software...OMG!!

Nothing can prepare you for the Symbian operating system and its patchwork of applications. If you've ever used Linux or Unix then you'll have some idea what to expect. It's a mess in so many ways that each day I'm staggered anew with some little silliness. Of couse, I should have figured it out when the MANY reviews that I read praised the E71 for its "flexibility" and "configurability". That's geek code for the need to get in under the hood and fiddle.

Specific issues related to Microsoft Exchange email, which is pride of place for anyone using this for business in a corporate environment, include:

* Nokia Mail for Exchange only syncs your Exchange Inbox, so all those other folders that you use to organise email in Outlook are inaccessble.

* A third-party application, the $50 RoadSync, can sync more than inbox...

* ...but not your Sent folder, which is a real nuisance (Nokia Mail for Exchange does not sync Sent folder either).

* Neither Nokia Mail for Exchange or RoadSync can create a Meeting Invitation - that's a real downer when you are out on the road and want to coordinate meetings.

* When you add a meeting/to-do/etc via the phone you don't get a calendar pop-up for the date. So you have to know the actual date, which is really frustrating.

Other niggles of the phone include:

* Adobe Acrobat LE is preloaded - but it's such an old version that it does not render new PDF files. Adobe Reader LE v2.5 is available for Symbian devices...if you want to fork over $15.

* Sometimes, clicking the main Menu button takes you down further than the first level menu structure. It's very unusual not to traverse the Menu levels the same way on the same button click, and very frustrating to have to figure out where you've been sent when this happens.

* The FM radio won't play via the phone loudspeakers (apparently it uses the headphone as an arial)...and the station search won't access the internet via WiFi.

* Selecting the 'Silent' profile does not mean that all the apps will be silent.

* It seems a minor point, but when you look at the txt from your carrier to say that you have a voice mail, it does not map the calling number against your Contacts.

These points - and many more - highlight that the phone hardware, Symbian O/S and applications were not designed to work in harmony.

Of course, if you like getting under the hood and playing around with all manner of odds and ends to make your phone do your bidding you will love the E71.

However, if you just want to buy a phone and use your Exchange emails, stick with Windows Mobile.
