Nokia E71x / User Reviews

My company provided me with a refurbished Nokia E71x cell phone through AT&T. It works sometimes. That is a big problem for a cell phone. The principal problem is that it has continual "connection errors" or "no signal." Reception can also be shoddy, with calls dropping, and... More

I love this phone.... or at least I would if Nokia supported the blackberry client -- they don't and it won't load on their phones. Apparently Nokia has decided that they don't like RIM and so aren't going to work with them. That makes this phone a bust for anyone who needs to use... More

I did a lot of research before I bought this in December 2009 and even though it had already been out for a few years it is still one of the best smart phones on the market. It is metal and very slim so the quality jumps out at you when you hold it. It runs smooth and fast and is very stable. I really... More

Pros: Small with a solid feel to it.

Cons: OS is crap. Reciever is the worst I have ever used. Camera is a joke. GPS is usless. WiFi is just as usless.

Summary: Here are the FACTS about this phone. No hype here. I have owned this phone and used it heavily for 5 months. It has a lot of neat features,... More

While the phone hardware is really good, the software is very disappointing. Do not expect Nokia Ovi apps to run easily on the E71x. Most of the time, you're lucky if something does work. I've been having major issues with installing and running apps, and in particular, Mail for Exchange (so... More

"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,... More

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,... More

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,... More

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... More

Do not buy this phone unless you are a geek!!

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... More

I've had the phone for about 5 months. When I first got it, I hated it and wanted to get a different one. But I couldn't find one I liked for the price so I gave it a second chance. My previous phones were both Sony Ericsson flips, and while I loved them, they left a lot to be desired.... More

I retired my Motorola Q, and now have had this for a few weeks. I'm not going to lie and say I know what all the apps are for that are on this phone. The main things I like a Smarphone for are: 1. Being able to actually interact w/ the internet. 2. Having the abililty to have my email "pushed"... More

I've given up on blackberry. After 4 failed phones (8900 and Bold) AT&T suggested I try this phone. This was my first Nokia but it will not be the last. The quality of the phone is excellent. When you hold it, you feel like you have something worth the money you paid for it. The learning... More

Pro: Battery Life, Screen, mp3 player, Nokia Internet Radio (added), apps availabe to download - Nokia forums to provide tips and tricks!

Con: Small/tight keypad

Using experience: 4 months

I used to have a BlackBerry 8830, but it was the company's phone and I had to give it up when I left that... More

I love my Nokia E71x! Yes, it has a few flaws which have been mentioned several times so I won't repeat them. But I do love the phone. I thought I was getting a phone with an FM receiver but I was disappointed to find out that it doesn't have one. (Unless I'm missing it somehow.) I was... More

I got the bundle of the Nokia E71x plus a two year agreement with AT&T. I'm totally happy with this phone. What I like most is that it is so simple to use,even though there is a lot to learn about it. My calls are clear, the reception is great and texting is a breeze. I also enjoy using the... More

I've always preferred Nokia phones, but switched to the Palm Treo a while back because Nokia didn't offer a phone with a qwerty keyboard at the time. With the e71x, I decided to go back to Nokia.

The phone is not perfect, but I was really starting to like it, having purchased it about a week... More

Bought this phone just for a temporary fix intending to return it and get an IPhone or similar. But after learning how to use the phone I realized that this phone was extraordinary in many ways. So I am keeping it. The price of the phone was something like $100, a total steal.

Pros-

Great 3.2mp camera... More

*Wi-Fi: Take advantage of your own wireless internet for blazing fast connections or use a friend's or your company's or a Wi-Fi hotspot at, say, Starbucks

*Syncs contacts and calendar with Google, and syncs completely... More

I have had my e71x for just over a month. I didn't return it so I guess the positives barely outweigh the negatives. My recommendation at this point is if you are going to use a smart phone with full ATT data package then get the iPhone (my wife has one so I can compare). If you don't want... More
