Very very listenable. No worries about it man, the only lousy thing about this phone is its camera.

Does it have any music function like megabass, sense me and so on that the SE walkman series have?

Bad camera? Do you think that the assist lamp beside the lens is not doing its job? Hmm.. 3D tones.. sounds not a cool feature. Haha~

Hello, just to please my curiosity, may I know what's the function that you guys need the most from this phone? What's the function that you use more frequently than non-qwerty phones?

Thanks guys for all the info that you've provided me. I'm still struggling whether to get back a N82 or buy E71

Haha.. everyone is so happy with E71! I won't be so desperate to look for a new phone if my N82 wasn't left in the toilet and took by someone in SG. What the...

Anyway, how do you rate the multimedia function?

multimedia functions may not be as good as the Nseries, the Eseries is more business oriented. However, its not too bad in that department.

Camera - 6/10 (reason being is if you tweak the settings the pictures are decent. we're talking bright environments here, low-light is bad as with other cameraphones, with some like the N82 being an exception)

Music - 7/10 (sound quality is nice with a 2.5 to 3.5mm headphone adapter, you can tweak the sound with the equalizer, has playlist options, easy to search for music, etc)

Video - havent played any, so I cant say, but the screen is small for video playback

Gaming - 5/10 (there are some very nice games out there, but some games may not look good due to screen size and res. You can modufy your phone to install ngage games, but i dont really game much on my phone. Also, the E71 lacks hardware acceleration so graphics arent that pretty compared to the high-end Nseries phones.

I normally like multimedia oriented phones, but I value the calender, internet and certain features more, so I decided to get teh Eseries, as far as gaming goes I would be happy with a good laptop, I dont have time to be honest.

I used to have a LG Viewty with a nice 3" touchscreen and the video playback is really good, but I realised that I only play those videos to show my friends who good they are on the phone and not actually watch them.

I do listen to music very very often on the phone and although it cant beat the iphone in this department, i think its sufficient enough for me, just need to get the headphone adapter like i mentioned.

As far as the camera is concerned, i wish it was better, my LG Viewty took nice photos, but I dont use the camera so much, so I can make the sacrifice.

The best thing about this phone is how slim it is, how nice it feels in your hand and how sexy it looks, people keep staring at it smile.gif Its also very fast and responsive.

I really appreciate your worthy review! I think the music experience can be further enhanced by using Fiio Headphone Amp.

Does E71 support RMVB and AVI for video playback?

I'm quite poisoned now and I may get a Panasonic Lumix LX3 to compensate the weak camera of this phone.

Had a grab of the test unit this afternoon. I would say the feel is quite good. I find the qwerty keyboard slow at the beginning but after I'm used to it, there's a great potential in typing fast.

By the way, my father told me to get a phone within RM500 since I'm going to study overseas soon, I can get greater phone with subsidiary from telco.

United States is my first choice and Australia is my second choice. I've applied to University of California and MIT in US. smile.gif

Thanks for your suggestion.

Haha, this is quite a nice feature I would say since I am the one who always listen to music but don't know about the title, so this feature appeal to me. biggrin.gif
