I've used mine for nearly 2 years, its been a very good phone to me, but im changing soon. Sad to say, ill be trading in my e71. Good phone, really good phone

Great ! Now my memory card is locked for no reason.

I did a backup this morning and I ticked every single option except the one backup my memory card. Just before I perform the firmware upgrade, I removed my memory card. The firmware upgrade went on successfully until I restored my stuff from the backup. After the restoration then I insert my memory card and then I was greeted with the message "Memory Card Password". I have tried every possible combination of the password I used,default passcode. I have no remote sim locked nor the memory card encryption activated.

I was told by a friend that he too encountered this same problem when he performed the firmware upgrade but he got the password removed by keying the remote lock password. A search on the internet showing that I am not alone.

Not only I lost my files in the memory card, the backup DID NOT BACKUP the wireless access point profile, now the whole thing is empty except Maxis 3G internet, bla bla bla bla. HOW CAN NOKIA BE SO IRRESPONSIBLE FOR THISSSS !@#!@#!#

So guys, what have I done wrong in the process ?

2 possible thing.. U didnt sav correctly .. Ur memory card is corrupted.. U cant display both memory card and phone memory on  d same time.. Either 1..ur phone memory is capable of 999 msg..

i've recently bought a 1 year 2nd hand e71 set. the seller says its original, and he seems believable.

only 1 problem, the battery lasts for about 1day+

20-30 smses, avg calls, 10mins wifi, GSM mode only, no bluetooth.

Battery i believe its 1 year plus. does this mean that its time the battery about to die? if so if i were to change battery, an AP one (grade AAA) is ok onot? what is the downside of using grade AAA batts?
