With the E71, Nokia has cemented its place in the PDA phone market. The phone is by far the most powerful phone in its category and comes with a full QWERTY keypad along with other features. The phone is lightweight, slim and very handsomely crafted. The Nokia E71 is a must for any regular business user with a taste for PDA phones.
The basics:
Design and Display:
The phone is aesthetically designed and feels extremely comfortable in the palm of the hand. Available in a choice of black, grey and white, the phone is slimmer than most PDA phones and weighs a decent 127 gms.
The 2.36 inch TFT screen supports 16 million colors and has excellent visibility even in moderate light. Navigating the menu is now extremely easy with the Navi™Key, which is a more like a laptop mouse pad. The phone also comes with a full QWERTY keypad for easy text input. To further add to the convenience, Nokia has put in one touch keys below the screen for Home, calendar, contacts, and email.
Multimedia:
The phone comes with a 3.2 MP camera capable of capturing both still images and video. Always get the best pictures with the built-in CMOS sensor and the LED flash. Zoom in to get great images even from a distance with the digital zoom. The camera also comes with standard camera features like red eye reduction and timer.
The phone also has a secondary VGA camera on the front for seamless video calling and conferencing.
The E71 comes with an excellent media player capable of playing almost any type of music and video file. The player also lets you create playlists and record music directly from the FM radio.
Email:
As would be expected of a business phone the E71 supports a variety of email like:
1. Push email.
2. Web email.
It also features email accessories like attachment open and edit, voice to text ready and distribution lists.
