==========



the E71 fails to send messages thru my Maxis line.


appreciate if anyone could explain the fix for this. this is an original handest from avaxx


I was able to send sms when using the sim card on an older phone. btw, the card is just a few months old and is 3G-enabled.


cheers.

Just got mine today. Pretty impressive unit.

Welcome Aboard!!

not very familiar yet with symbian OS..

Wanted to ask something, how do i go to home screen while surfing and return back to the page i am browsing..

and what is the recommended IM for MSN?

For 1 question: U can press and hold home screen button for few secs, then U can see all the background apps that running...Choose back which apps U want...walla... For web browsing, I would recommend operamini...fast, user friendly and lesser data trasnfered compare to original nokia web

For MSN, Window Live Messeger for S60v3 is a good 1...incorporate many Microsoft's programe like Messenger, Space, Hotmail and etc..

i install it but it says valid for 30 days and they will notify me bla bla bla and will charge $
i thought msn supposed to be freeware?

I am also having Avaxx set + Maxis. So far no prob. U should check your message centre number.

Windows Live on my E71 is free. Just has a mention that they 'may' charge in the future.

Same here. No problems. Message centre perhaps. Mines +60120000015 if that helps.

Has anyone used the encryption feature? I used it to encrypt my memory card once and it went corrupted upon a restart which forced a reformat.

is every e71 the same as this?


Light leaking between display and keypad on Nokia E71.

There is a little bit on mine but I haven't realized till you mentioned it.

Btw, can anyone upload the contents of the memory card as is new (avaxx set)? Kinda lost everything in the reformat. Would appreciate it. Thanks.

any previous users of n95 8gb who migrated to this phone? care to share your experience? I'm having second thought about dumping the 5mp camera for the qwerty keyboard.

I ex-owner of Nokia N95 8GB user..Just change to the E71 recently..If you someone that use the camera a lot then i recommend to stick to N95 but if wanna try something new than E71 is the one to go..eveything is the same actually except for the camera (N95 8GB is way much better)..So, now you can choose la...for me, no regrets changing my N95 8GB to E71.

I've also used N95 (normal) before. E71 is much better when accessing internet (especially via wifi). No hangs at all. N95 used to hang often when accessing website.

Camera, definitely N95 better. But I don't really have effect on this as I don't use camera often.

Battery wise, E71 is much much better compared to N95.
- N95 I have to charge in less than 1 day if I use wifi for 1-2 hours + normal call & sms.
- E71 I used for 2 days with 2-3 hours wifi with normal sms, average high calls + with my bluetooth headset connected

E71 is solid. No cracking noise like N95 when u press the button. N95 slider is so loose. E71 is candybar & no slider problem

Screen, you can't really see the difference. Maybe watching movie, N95 will be better but for normal things, E71 is good. Listening to music is also good in E71 & you will not really miss N95 in this aspect (but default earphone given is not up to the expectation)

Overall E71 is good.

yup its the same with all e71....

Anyone use Blackberry or who really uses the functions of a PDA?
No asking for opinions of Ah Bengs who buys this phone to make calls and send sms.
I ussed to have a Blackberry and I switched to Nokia E71 and this is what I found out about E71 (can't wait for Blackberry Bold)

1. Phone hangs for about 5 seconds right after finishing a phone conversation. It doesn't allow you make another call or lock your keypad in a jiffy. Extremely annoyed with this flaw.

2. People complain that they can't get me sometimes. And I can't call out sometimes too! It says connection error!

3. You can only set 2 emails (Non POP3 emails) to do a automatic email retrieval. And you can only retrieve Header and not full email. Phone also does not allow you to do other things while retrieving email. Deleted email from server needs to deleter 2 or more times to dissapear.

4. Automatic email retrieval setting gets RESET in the middle of the day without you knowing. And you wonder why you are not receiving any emails.

5. Scroll is extremely slow for long emails.

6. Viewing emails or messages longer than a page is a bum. The screen does scroll seamlessly, it seems to scroll 3 lines in a roll and you tend to lose sight of which line you are reading.

7. There's no STOP all programs from running button. Instead you got to go to each individual program and exit them else they would be showing a dot on the program icon you did not end.

8. I transferred my contact list from my Lotus Database. Although it shows Michael Smith as a First Name, the retard software reads it as First name Michael and Middle Name Smith on the phone.

Its sad that Nokia are only getting opinions from phone users and not PDA users thus they are unable to develop a proper PDA. This is evident by the number of people saying that the E71 is a good phone in asia.cnet.com. They are mainly PHONE users who do not require PDA functions but requires a phone which resembles a PDA.

Although I am not a vivid PDA user, but from the problems U listed. Not all are E71 fault and some are easily solve with 3rd party software.
Symbian OS is more toward flexibility and more simple platform compare to other.
1) The phone is not "hang". It was a pause for couple of sec. I dun think it is 5 secs long. This happen to all symbian phone i used.
2) I think this is a network coverage rather than blaming the phone. Sometime U are out of coverage or at a poor signal area. It a norm in Malaysia. Not a single telco in malaysia have 100% coverage
3, 4, 5) Not using email much...no comment
6) Ya. had to agree with U on this point. But I think not just E71 have this flaw...other BB, winmo had this problem, rite?
7) This can be solve by using 3rd party software like TaskMan, Tracker and etc.
8) Ya. Is annoying. But is just like U booking Air Ticket, train ticket, Visa and other Mat salleh form...yr name is spell like that too..For me, just need to get use to the mat salleh naming format. I take the pain and redo all my 600+ contact at Outlook with proper Last Name, First Name...now I am ok with it...

Symbian are for people who like simplicity and stable OS and a little bit more flexibility in term of 3rd party software. Winmo is bloated and resource hogging and not stable, BB is superior on it's push mail and PIM feature but lag of multimedia features.
In the end, it just about personal preferences...A phone just cant suite any1 (even for E71 case that aim toward biz class user)

Good reply!

2. There's no problem with the network. It's the phone. I tried switching phone and problem solved. And I didn't have this problem with my previous phone in the same location... my office desk

Looks like you have got a buggy unit. E71 has a very good reception.
