I missed the chance to buy the 1 buck software
Guys, what's the common software you install on your E71. Since the phone is still new, hard to get the compatible software.


Thanks.

Phone is new but Symbian OS S60v3 is mature enough to have many many softwares.
There are tonne of it, very much depend on individual's need and usage.

sigh me too..its now says $70/- ouch....

i read the review from GSMarena... seems they like it very much except the camera part...
i dun mind camera since this is more into business phone...

Yeah..even CNet Asia Review gave 8.7/10 + Editor's Choice for this phone..and a review also state that even though the picture's details cant beat N95 details, it's color is more original than the N95 one..so its still not bad though..

And i juz installed a software called skyecaller, which allows a full screen caller's picture to appear during call and sms (both in coming and outgoing). It is quite nice in my opinion. But it cost me EUR9.++ (RM40+) after 15% discount.

how u all buy these softwares ar?
credit card or paypal?

i dun expect good camera from e71 initially but AF shud come in handy especially if there is business card scanner feature..

tmr i might go and see if i can get a unit to play around... i yet to had that on my hand...

toby.c13: i got poison by ur avatar...

dunno bout others, but i'm using credit cards

Errr.. why Nokia remove some of the special characters on the keyboard like underscore (_), percentage (%), etc. What a waste... still prefer my old E61 keyboard... oh well, could it be E71i soon...?

But... after browsing a few sites, the special characters are there for Europe version...when I play with demo set, the special characters are not there...

Held the E71 today for the first time and just love the form factor.....it's so thin and fits my land like a glove. The metal surface is also very appealing.

Gonna get it real soon. Black keys one look much nicer, lah.....the white face one i hear is coming next month.


Nokia Careline centre in 1-Utama is listing the E71 at RM1,999.


The salesman there insisted those sold at Low Yat at RM1730 are AP sets, though I think he was bull-shitting so as to get customers to buy from his shop.


So there appears to be 3 pricing tiers, which i have split into 3 classes.



(Class 1)
Original from Nokia Careline centre (most expensive) at RM1,999


(Class 2)
Original from Avaxx/Zitron/authrorised sub-dealers at RM1,700++


(Class 3)
AP sets from any Tom-d***-Harry retailers at RM1530 to RM1650



is this a correct assessment?



btw, VS.com - a shop located on the top floor of Low yat Plaza - claims to be an original Nokia seller at the Class 2 level. Is it?

Well Afaik, there are actually 2 tiers; one which is the ori from avaxx or zitron which cost could reach between 17xx to 19xx and the other is from ap company which is in the range between 14xx to 15xx.

what about sapura?

for me, I prefer the new layout...at least more clean, less cluster...all the symbol can be insert with 1 dedicated button located at bottom right...so not really biggie, dun think we goin to use that so often..

Becarefull when buyin AP set, most of them didnt support Chinese Character natively. AP co. will flash another firmware to make with work. Because of this thing, I had to cancel 2 deal in lowyat forum...Money sent twice to 2 different AP seller and refunded..
In the end, spend RM100+ more to get a set from Dynamic Multimedia. My set come with Chinese symbol on keypad and support Chinese character natively...

I'm currently using E70 and now drooling over this new model. Wonder if it's easy to find the cover or sillicon cover for this model (to avoid scratch on the body) coz my E70 very hard to find the plastic cover (never found silicon cover till now)

Now should be a bit diffiicult becoz E71 still consider "new" to market.
A lot of after market accessory still not widely available.
It also depend on how popular (or how many) E71 can sell to consumer. The bigger the quantity, the better the variety of accessory..for example Iphone, N95, N73 (hot selling couple years back)

Give it some time...E71 had the "wow" factor that can woo wider range of consumer (not just biz class people)

Well leather case is never an issue for me coz the case that was provided by nokia with this e71 was quite good for me. Kinda classic too i might add.

are there any casing for the e71? like the n95's leather casing those type..
and which shop in lowyat got sell e71's screen protector?

i am interested in the E66...which is with normal keypad (sliding)...today i asked at Subang parade...all selling original only
is RM2K+ ....


what is the difference between N-series and E-series ?

If I don't need to use e-mail and OFfice application, do you think this is phone us for me?
any idea what is the 2 mode :- Leisure /Business features of the E66 ?

For me the function of e66 is almost the same as e71 accept that it is without qwerty keyboard and that it has an accelerometer. Fyi, the e series is a no nonsense handphone to those with biz needs. By the way, this is an e71 thread. Kinda ot a bit there.

which has the accelerometer?
e71 or e66?
