not quite sure y.

random restarts got. random shut offs nope.
sometimes my phone when hang it will auto restarts itself.
and also when i press the menu key, my hotlink 'easyaccess' icon takes around 1-2 seconds to appear..
dunno is my simcard problem or phone.

im tempted to get this phone. But can all the owners here compile a list of problems u encountered with the phone so far ?

d problem so far?

i keep on losing my charger on average..charging it once a week..

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.

that is why all my previous phones were e-series. Reliable and dependable.

guys for the GPS do we need to pay for data charges? means connect to the phone provider internet? englighten me about gps pls

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...

how can my garmin cannot detect gps device? wrong installation? no gps device found

anyone know who has a shop that able to do trade in? i wanna get this shop.. and i wanna trade in my current phone + top up.. lemme know thanks

A-gps is a way to go

.. i would say a proximately about 20-40kb usage once everything u activate it ....

i got the signla within 5-10sec normally..even inside my landed house or condo

wala!! E71 ROCKSS

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

Does anyone find Garmin MXT "slow" ? Not in locking in but generally slow. I find Google maps so much more user friendly and the cursor moves around the map much more snappier.
Or am i just using it wrongly ?

Need some help with email.

I'm on Maxis and since the E71 doesn't allow me to set authentication for SMTP which my dedicated server requires, I'm using smtp.maxis.net.my for my outgoing mails.

But I still can't get it to work i.e. all I get is a "check your email settings" error message.

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.

mike, pm me best price for the microsd with garmin.. got 8gb one?
