I using maxis and with 3g activated...no problem at all.

U might want to check yr E71 by open up the casing and batt..check for the label. See got E71-1 on the label

for screen protector, get from viravira..he is selling super cheap and quality is good. I brought 2 just in case i screw up the first 1. But is easy to apply and the price of 2 pcs is less than 1 pc @ those shop outside....

Just got my 8GB Sandisk MicroSD Mobile Ultra (came with tiny size USB reader), tested the write speed..damn..it was fast. It can achieved up to 16Mb/s write speed. Much faster than my 8Gb Sandisk Cruzer Micro thumbdrive (6.5Mb/s)
Highly recommended

RM125 for 8GB Sandisk MicroSD Mobile Ultra.

same here...Garmin MXT that installed on MicroSD cannot be launch.
Not sure this bug will be fix or even notice by nokia developer.
Anyway, I will use card reader for big file and bluetooth connection for small files. Very seldom use cable

I will convert my video to mp4 format...Why mp4? coz can play with nokia default real player. Furthermore, can play by those portable mp4 player in the market...

I using this media coder now http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/
It is not bad, easy to use and fast speed.

I highly recommend a software to U: cClock

U can download from here: http://home.pacific.net.sg/~welic/cClock.html

It also teach U how to activate it..

U set it in yr E71...not Garmin MXT

I wonder How on earth U go buy a Garmin MXT while U can ahem them easily....

Locking a sat signal while driving is not a good way, bro.

Without A-GPS activated, is very difficult to get it locked. Therefore, I still kept my BT GPS to pair with E71

For BT GPS, U can get M1000B from lelong.com...I got it around RM210+ COD
It used nokia type of battery. So easy to find replacement. I paired with E61i and E71 with Garmin MXT....
Tested the South East Asia NT map at Bangkok now....not bad. Routable and quick accurate and suggested router as per what local people will take...hahaha

Straight change to Garmin MXT I would suggest, coz map are more detail and up to date becoz of contribution from Malsing forum.
For the service U mentioned, I guess is not legit. Hmm...I should start charging to "ahem" Garmin MXT from now on...joking joking....

I also brought a waist pouch special for E71 at MBK, Bangkok. Quality is good and cheap

E71 at Bangkok sold much higher price compare to Malaysia around RM1700 (AP set), Original set not sure.

Around RM20 here..sorry no photo coz bz packing now and going back this afternoon.

They also got crystal casing for E71. I brought a slide in pouch (for Iphone) and waist pouch. While using waist pouch, feel nothing on the waist coz E71 is so petite compare to my previous E61i..

Bro, google a bit U will get this: Nokia own Mfe software for symbian

http://www.businesssoftware.nokia.com/mail...e_downloads.php

E71 for sure...(I sounded like a fan boy now...haha )

Actually depend on yr usage, if U need or subscribed Black Berry push mail...then BB Bold is better.

Off topic:
toby.c13, U got nokia N800 tablet rite? and from Melaka rite?

There are not much problem with this E71. Nokie E series are build for biz oriented people. So that are well build, robust and very stable OS.
U will notice the firmware update for E series will be lesser compare to other nokia series (for example N series).
I can compile a list of good thing about E71...


hahaha...this is good.

If U dont enable "assisted GPS (A-GPS)", u dont need to pay anything to use the GPS signal.
But if U enable A-GPS, a small amount of data will be transfer (at the very beginning) each time U load your Nokia Map software. Once U lock on the the Sats, there will be no more data transfer. I am not very sure on how much each transfer, some said 20-40 sen ( not really sure)

The down side of not enable A-GPS is U need to wait very long time (like 10-20 mins) to get a sats. locked. Is really PITA to wait when U need to move to yr destination...

ya...I would said if U want to use GPS feature on E71...better enable the A-GPS first. Much Much faster sat locked on.

But I use external BT GPS units (cheap Holux M-1000B), save bat, faster locked ...since i already brought it last time for my E61i

ya..Garmin map is slower in navigating the map.
I notice MicroSD that U use play some part in it. The Sandisk 8GB Micro SDHC (have around16Mb/s write speed!!) i used do speed up a bit. Map browsing more snappy.

The map that U used also play important part. The bigger the map size, the slower the browsing speed.

Follow below tip U will be ok in choosing a good AP set..
