I was extremely excited about this product. To my disappointment, I received a defective unit that randomly powercycles while using almost any application on the device for extended periods of time.
I contacted Nokia tech support. I am a technically savvy person (professional IT and web design), and I was asked the same set of questions three times before being told to mail it to them for repair, at my expense. While it was completely under warranty.
Amazingly disappointed, considering the great things I’ve heard about Nokia, and the great device reviews. Will not purchase a Nokia product again. Would advise others not to as well. If I could give this product zero stars, I would.

The camera is awful and the quality of the image is THE WORST. Even the $10 camera available in wal-mart is much better than this. Even the web browser and the other features are not good.
Overall not up to the expectations.

If you’re used to Palm or Blackberry business devices, you will likely not enjoy this phone. It certainly looks the part – its hardware and aesthetics are very pleasing; it’s slim and compact; the QWERTY keyboard feels good and works with even the chunkiest of fingers, my sausages not withstanding. The battery life is also very good.
Unfortunately the good news ends there. The software is dreadful. Firstly you can’t load your contacts from other systems because the PC software provided has no import capabilities at all – except you can import `Thumbnails’. Way too many menu navigations are required to do the common tasks such as looking up a number and dialing it. Depending on where you start from, it can take six menu choices to get the phone dialing, the last one being an annoying extra option to make a voice or video call. Setup items are difficult to find. You can’t easily switch to Vibrate for example; you have to go through a pile of menus to find the setting. I’m in and out of meetings all day; I need a button on the phone to allow me to turn to vibrate on the fly. Messaging does not thread – so every message is treated as a separate event, therefore you can’t see the response from the other person when composing your answers. Some of the shortcut menu choices on the screen are the same as the buttons – rather a wasted opportunity to bring other common features into easy play. The rest are wasted on one time deals that should be buried in a menu somewhere; for example, Setup Email, Setup Internet Tel. Calendar Entries (Calendar Entries from where exactly – not outlook – you can’t sync). I’ve had this phone less than two weeks and am already looking for something to replace it. I will likely go back to Palm. Sorry Nokia, but whoever designed this software doesn’t understand the needs of the business smart phone user.

The Nokia E71 bills itself as a ‘messaging device’, but is it really? No.
The ActiveSync that comes out of the box only syncs one email folder. Want all of them? That’ll be $50 and plus some 3rd party software.
Want to sync with your Yahoo! or GMail account? Out of the box, this phone doesn’t do that either. It will pull via Pop, but IMAP is only semi-supported and headers are allowed.
Nokia is now offering a new service called ‘Nokia Messaging’ that syncs with multiple email addresses (not Exchange). But even that is in an open-ended trial and the site says that Nokia will eventually charge for the service. Shouldn’t this service be included in a phone that costs 2x’s an iPhone?
Want to read Office docs? Well if it’s 2003 or below, you are in luck! The E71 does that. Office 2007? That’ll be $50 for an upgrade, please.
I give the product 2 stars because it does do some things well. The Nokia browser is decent, and with the addition of Opera mobile (which makes up for the weaknesses of Nokia’s browser), it does the web well.
The phone really shines on making phone calls and sending text messages. Just type the person’s name and then push the green button to call or select text message from the slide-out menu and start texting.
The OS is ugly (the contact screen and the individual calendar entries are just atrocious – sub-old-Blackberry ugly), but fairly stable and very responsive.
Overall, if need an ActiveSync phone with a longer battery life and can live without great email (yes, that is an oxymoron, I know), and you have extra cash to purchase the necessary software, then the Nokia E71 is your phone.
But overall, I am very disappointed in the OS, the lack of real email support that US customers have comes to expect, and the expense of all the extra software you need to buy on top of an already very expensive phone. If I could return it I would. The Nokia E71 is just not ready for the North American market.
