To start off, the Nokia E71's look is very sleek, I find it very nice. Its thin, and the qwerty keypad is a plus, too. The qwerty keypad isn't as bulky and as small as other devices' keypads. Navigation keys are easy to figure out, maybe because thats what Nokia is going for - being User Friendly. My overall rating for this phone, is 8 out of 10. Why 8? I got reasons why :)
- Its a smartphone at an affordable price, unlike the Nokia C3, which is not so much of a smartphone as the E71 is.
- The camera's resolution is great at 3.15mp. It has video recording, color styles, and the usual.
- Sounds are awesome. Since its body isn't all plastic, sounds coming from the E71 is superb.
- Battery life is okay. I play songs nonstop because I sleep with music on. And I forget to turn it off every time. But when I wake up the following morning, the battery still isn't drained, and even if I use the Wi-Fi, it lasts 1-2 days. That is with heavy usage. I haven't tried putting it on standby though. Its my main phone for now.
- Web browsing is perfect for people who use the internet frequently, and wants to be in touch with the net even on the go.
So if you're looking for a qwerty phone thats worth your money, buy this one. I recommend it. :)
