Another option would be to buy one here:

And try installing it urself (or send to someone who can)

Oh my ... but I remembered seeing SIFU posted here regarding frequest White Version Keypad change. Maybe he/she can help.

i dono it's because of that or what but somehow after install new firmware and garmin my battery drain so fast. then after i uninstall garmin everything's ok. the weird thing is, i'm not running the garmin but my battery still drain so fast.

the only difference is the qwerty keypad(e71) and the accelerometer(e66)...do i miss out any?

anyone know where to get e71 battery (NOT made in china!) ?!
trusted person/ori & best price with warranty!!

is it possoble?!

just bought a e71 in ipoh parade.. 4gb sandisk...

and its from avaax.. RM 1600! im loving it

i think its all made in china. Nokia now orders their battery from their OEM plant in China. It is still Nokia only made in China, much like Nike clothing made in China. Things from China are pretty doubtful, but if its Nokia but made in China, you shouldn't worry much as Nokia conducts uncountable test to ensure quality.

That's the reason why i use Nokia. If you are interested maybe u can be patient a bit, I have manage to locate battery maker who produces 1800mAh battery for E71, much higher than the stock 1500mAh, meaning u get 20% longer batteyr life. They also have 3600 mAh battery for E71 but it will bulge at the back and makes the E71 not so slim anymore.

I have a 1week old E71 for sale if anyone is interested...

@jameslee_84

what do u think regarding using garmin tha might drain the battery although it's setting not to autorun on startup (prev post) ?

im still can't believe it! im using latest garmin 5.00.10.0 & happy with it.
need to clarify this ??!!!

well, i am using garmin as well but i don't have such problems. hmm, i wonder who knows how to answer that. maybe because its not an authentic version of garmin thats why when its running at the background there are no indication that its still running. Just a wild guess but could be the reason right? The only way to know would be to test onich4n's phone and another e71 say like mine with the same battery from onich4n's phone then we can make a steady comparison.

can i have a rough idea how much is both AP and ori set cost now? by the way, is Sapura one of the official local distributor?

thanks will give it a shot, went to my dealer today and he told me that some units sold by 3 Mobile had the wrong firmware version installed so they need to reflash it..will try it tomorrow, hope it works coz i am coming back for hols this sunday

the latest firmware is v110.something.something...but i can only use the v100.07.76 firmware at the moment cause my phone's software is designed for my service provider..i cant install a generic firmware like u guys do...unless i change the product code and do it...but there are risks to it...

i got a problem with my nokia e71. i couldn't send mms on my phone, i have already do all the setting from my service provides maxis even i went to maxis store to do the setting.

i get a error message:packet data not allowed. any1 of u got this problem ? HELP !!

n 1 more things is i couldn't install all of the themes tat i download from net lol.

are you a postpaid or prepaid user? like me, i'm on family plan value and i cant activate the mms service unless my dad tell maxis to do so since the line is registered under his name..hmm, maybe you should call maxis and ask for the setting..they will sms you the setting..its easier if you call them up cause sometimes their system a bit cacat..

E66 has auto rotate feature when u hold the phone horizontally............ E71 of course doesn't have this...... it doesn't need to
