Nokia's finally fessing up to its latest E series QWERTY phone, but took this one in a seriously surprising direction... for Nokia, anyway: thin. The E71 is one of the thinnest phones we've ever seen exit the doors of the Finnish giant, at 10mm thick, but there's still plenty of room for everything you'd expect out of an E series phone like WiFi, HSDPA, A-GPS and even a 3.2 megapixel camera and a front facing camera for video chat -- the main place the E71 differs on specs from its new E66 sibling is the 2.36-inch QVGA screen, just a fraction of an inch smaller. The E71 even manages to squeeze in extra battery, with 20 days of standby, 10.5 hours of GSM talk or 4.5 hours of 3G talk. There's 110MB of built-in storage and a microSD slot if you grow out of that, and the same business / personal switcher of the E66. Folks accustomed to previous Nokia QWERTY phones in the form factor like the E62 will find the screen noticeably smaller, but with the same number of pixels and an incredibly pocketable form factor there's plenty to love about this new entry. Unfortunately, the $500-ish pricetag isn't quite alluring, and like the E66, Nokia doesn't have any carrier subsidies lined up just yet. The E71 should arrive in the States -- and yes, with full 3G US bands -- sometime Q3 of this year, and will be available in grey steel and white steel.

My only upgrade target from E61i...

Talk time Up to 10 h 30 min?

oh my.. wat a high reso pic..
neway, is the thing above the e71 word the front camera?

white looks sweett..

Yup it is...

when is d actual release date?

most like end of august oni will arive in malaysia.. i think la..

this phone looks great..can rival blackberry bold...nway the blackberry not available here, thus this e71 can gain market share in business....kets how it will fare with HTC's pdaphone

Neither phone is here yet. But if past experience is anything to go by, this E71 will sell as well as the previous E61/61i did, and of course, more than Blackberries in Malaysia.

Me, I'm waiting for the Blackberry Bold, but I'll probably get this too, to replace my E61i.

Check out the video link a few posts up... The YouTube thing is kinda cool... The video wont fit the Nokia screen, but click it, and it will auto-adjust to fit the E71 screen...

owh?...cool...checked the video clip already...

question..

e series very popular in malaysia?look wat happened to e51...

well i would say depends on the functions..
it seems malaysian love e-series that has qwert keyboard.
for example.. e61 e61i e90..
and maybe the e70 oso..

but normal e-series like e50, e60 are just norm..

see?

I got to play with it today.
