After poisoning by you guys, i have got myself a unit of E71 (ori) from one of the trusted seller in LYN. Will test it thoroughly today and after

do post short review n pics taken with ur new baby

just came back from SWang..the ap e71 is rm1660 and the ori is rm1850. can anyone recommend a good seller from lyn?

thanks

the build quality of the E71 is very good.

SS2 Atlantis is selling for Rm1,7XX (not sure is ori or AP set)

Hi guys, any idea where i can get the screen protector for E71?
Thanks ^^;

battery life? 10 hours?

10 hours? that is if you on the GPS as well as using WIFI straight for 1 day. If not on average will last you about three days moderate use. BAre in mind that it got powerful battery 1500 mAH WOO!

The SAR rating for E71 is a major turn off...

Would love to have this. Saw at shop for RM2.3K, and smaller by a quarter compared to E61i.

And yes, I can SMS one handed with my E61i, E71 will be a piece of cake.

careful of the price tho....ori price are around RM1800-RM1900...

i ve never actually tried using these type of handphones.i mean the ones with QWERTY keyboard.so issit easy to sms?

i guess the best way is to know is to try the unit myself.

well actually qwerty keyboard itself was made so that to make easier for writing smses. and the answer is....YES...SUPER EASY.....

lol.. i found out that price is quite cheap in singapore. hehehehe.. only warranty issue.

if buy from singapore, sure cheaper but then isn't it the same as an AP set coz as far as I know, all AP sets are coming from Singapore....

not true. it comes from various countries.

i personally like singapore set because of their QC.

Seaedge, how cheap is the singapore set?

whats the diff actually? coz certain models, they came from China n exported to Singapore n Malaysia, so how come they got diff quality from us? (unless their getting from diff source) n certain model like (i dunno latest model) previous w810,w760 n etc assemble in Shah Alam by Flextronics n exported to Sg (although Flextronics HQ in SG)

for me buying AP/Ori unit better than SG's unit, at least getting local warranty, easy to claim n etc, buying SG unit js like buying w/o warraty unless u r frequent traveller who travel to SG a lot

I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT

SGD 670 = RM1616.8 if buy there directly. but if ship back here... lets say buy original set is better. and now the price just drop.. i think i just remain malaysian price. hehe


well, QC can be varies from country to country. since you know about flextronic, then you should know that other country also have manufacturer for SE and SE singapore might just get from other source if let say Malaysia/China no stock. this is also explain why we say buying phone needs some luck. becoz some batches are from other countries rather than usual source. this is what i get from the flextronic workers during my training.

buying ap/singapore is more likely to be having warranty issues where original set doesnt have. after all, if i am buying, i wud just want to try it out and see if it can last long in my hand. i dont say your thinking is wrong, but there is also grey area that you and i dont know.

what would u say to a current iphone user to "poison" him into getting this e71?

i know its 2 completely different phones.but oh well...

i just hate d battery life on the iphone.

lol.. pukarix, you want to poison another iphone user? or yourself?

well, just say that e71 is business minded phone to begin with, sporting full qwerty keypad and armed with up-to-date connections. if that is not enough, GPS is built on board and 3.2mp autofocus camera which is better than iphone at anytime. however interface is not fluid style and the screen is not as big as iphone. but even in the "give and take" situation, E71 gives more than what it takes.

if you want to have better option in connectivity and flexibility, e71 is better than iphone. and i can say, e71's on board speaker is definitely better and bluetooth is for file transfer, not just limited to handsfree.
