AP set... hence the really low price...

erm.. if u tried it indoor for GPS, its quite hard to get a lock compare to dedicated btGPSr.

haha latest info....just manage to get a lock up on my way to the office this morning. Initial lock up is about 10 mins....and after that it only took about 10 sec for a lock up and mind you that i only used GPS not AGPS (disabled)...so for those of you who just received this phone and tried to use the GPS for the first time....my advice is that you disabled the AGPS function first and use only the GPS to get an initial lock up, after that then can enabled back the AGPS function to get an ultra fast lock up on your position. This is because they will charge you the data rate of AGPS eventhough you could not get an initial lock up. will not be a problem for those with an unlimited data plan but to people like me without one is quite cumbersome.

hehe nice info well, all i can see cheapest can get original zitron everywhere is RM1780, either here in Garage Sales or in Shop. will going out test it again at shop today~ huhu.

owh can u possibly test if one uses only the internal GPS without AGPS at all? meaning no data connection. is it usable at least? well it will be much better if not using data connection at all, saves up right there

Thanks.

yup it is possible...infact i'm using it rite now i.e. only using integrated gps and network base (it is mandatory that you check network base otherwise the gps wont work) but uncheck assisted GPS and bluetooth GPS. and it work as expected. to get a lock on is not quite as fast (less than 5 secs) as with AGPS but its bearable (around 10 secs).

hmmm... like the bundled leather case pro and elegant.

btw.. did u guys manage to get the screen protector for E71? seem like yet to available as of now.

overall... i hv no regret giving up my SE G900 for this E71.. **as expected**

hmmm with regards to the screen protector i'll probably try to find it at digital mall pj coz the guys there seems pretty updated. I manage to get my previous hard to find screen protector for e51 the other day.

went to lowyat just now. they will only hv stocks on next week. i mean, the perfect cut specially made for e71 version.

thanks zad78 if can keep lock on to use for regular driving w/o need for AGPS with an acceptable speed, then id say good enough for a GPS phone

will buy this by the end of this month for sure

im selling it at rm1.6k ap set can nego abit,yup it da best phone for biz mannnnn............

Might get it next week... I wonder if KLCC selling already or not

One thing that I was really shocked to see (and a little dissapointed after seeing) is the screen size! WTF?! N95 8GB is 2.8 inch, and this is 2.4 inch... Doesnt seem like much, 0.4 inch only... But i saw comparison photos, and damn! the E71 screen is TINY! So small! But i cant judge yet la... Must go and see proper unit in the shop first...

yeah im with u too. first pic leak thot same size, when it arrived it got very small screen 2.36 inch to be exact. anyway after few minutes using it, its good enuff, but certainly will be missing the superb 2.8 inch of E61i. (I thot even E61i screen got ppl complain already bout its screen size huhu). watching tv series on the go will be tinier this time well, if it at elast got a TV Out. then okay lah a bit, can just connect for presentation/movies for one of those days traveling in hotel, huhu. anyway they just dont want to make one perfect device does them? long term business profit in mind huhu.

actually.. to be honest... at first.. when i saw the actual unit.. i was like... shxts... so small.. so sleek! is this the replacement for E61i or what??

the size is almost similar to my E51 **yess.. this little monster perform damn well** slightly wider... but shxt!! it's slimmer than E51... with GPS.. 3.2mp AF camera.. WIFI... and HSDPA... with its new freescale cpu **faster than E90** and the super zippy performance.. i would say slightly faster than E51.. despite more "interface instructions" are needed to support the QWERTY buttons.

for 1.7k.. i hv nothing to complaint.. as i got my E61 at rm1788 as well previously. extra pound in weight.. and extra wider to hold without any camera.

another thing to add, i think all E-series.. has very useful LCD screen... under direct sunlight.. u still be able to read the text clearly.

yeah, screen clarity of E series is very respectable no matter in what circumstances. well in conclusion the tiny E71 packed a LOT of features, and best of all, its fast, and battery damn long can tahan, huhu. so it fits it features as multifunction device. no point having the best camera in the market etc but can tahan 3-4 hour ony on straight WiFi@camera use.

haha really jealous u guys got it already gotta prioritize my money rite now, haih...

You know what, just found out something. If u hold the d pad long enough, it will show u nice big clock. Just tried it.

Yeah, I read about that...

and the one thing i'm a bit curious about this function is that you can't do it in a dark environment i.e bedroom at night with lights off. you could do it when there is a light source...hmmm isn't that a redundant function coz you obviously want to see the clock when you just wake up from bed rite?

Wow..... yes its finally out. I just got a call from a friend at Nokia Bangsar. She told me the price is RM1950. Hmm... I'm wondering why the price difference in original sets??? But the price difference is very minimal only. I'm gonna have a look at it this Saturday and low and behold, it will be mine. Wanna trade in my e61i...... yes, yes my friends a bit sad.... it has been serving me for the last year with no problems. Actually better than my companies blackberry. I gave back my Blackberry to the company and used my e61i instead. Hahaha........ Well... I can't wait to get my hands on it.....

Because thats from Nokia... High profile mah... make abit more profit la... if u buy from low profile shops, they give cheaper... if Nokia Bangsar has it, I guess every else should have it too... Which means I dont have to go out of the way to get it... klcc will do for me!

i went to check out the E71 just now... nice... i was very impressed... however, 3 things concerned me...

1) QWERTY keypad felt a bit small (I used a Treo 650 before this, and that has the best QWERTY keypad (and I'm not the only one who thinks so, see reviews of it, and everyone praises the keypad)... So when I tried this phone, it felt just a tad too small... but i guess i can get used to it...

2) The QWERTY keypad felt flimsy... it didnt feel solid... u noe? i little shaky... like it could wiggle around in its place... Same thing as number 1... Used a Treo 650, and the keypad was fantastic...

3) Being an E-Series, it felt VERY business-like... just the theme alone made me feel like it was a business phone... where are the casual features? I'm better off with an N95 or something if you ask me... but i've always wanted another QWERTY phone to replace my Treo 650...

Those are my main concerns about it (not so much number 3 la)... Other than that, the phone is awesome! Very slim! And I am really liking it! Nice pouch too!
