hi there,

i am about to buy the e71. how do i go about to ID whether the set is a e71-1 or a e71-2?

for ori, zitron or avaax is better, or it makes no difference.?

for ap, telstar or bbs?

thank you for yr advice.

ok thanks, i go ahead to buy an ori unit then. zitron or avaax doesn't matter, right?

thanks again.

mikelanding, on page 23 post# 451 gave the following lead to identifying -1 or -2 :

take out the battery and look for the product sticker

Added on September 15, 2008, 9:48 pmfor nokia phones, u dun need to go into option to enable loudspeaker.

once a call is incoming, u just press accept, the "loudspeaker" icon is displayed on yr bottom right, u press the right action key to talk on loudpeaker mode. this is actually a better arrangement for privacy purposes. some calls, u dun want the whole world to hear .. hehehehe.

ya ya zeyoon, mikelanding covered most of the theme links. the one that i like most are those from pizero and taieb. my personal preference is dark coloured themes as i find reading text in white is more comfy for my eyes

zeyoon, follow this installation guide and they will install fine

e71blog.com : How To Avoid Application & Theme Installation Issues


slow surf on maxis, not your phone's fault, is maxis. maxis 3g was totally out yesterday. even now when it runs, it is struttering. i wish i can sue them for dis-service.

No updates?

Ok, just to share the Nokia Internet Radio. Works well on the e71. It's a free app and u can get it from here :

Nokia Internet Radio

All the internet radio stations in the world at yr finger tips

yes, the radio is streamed over the internet connection.

the application is free.

if u connect on free wifi, it is free.

if u are on 3G unlimited, consider the application as a bonus to maximise your monthly 3G expenses.

Yes, it can connect to countries worldwide. That is its sole purpose.

This is only applicable for those radio stations who stream their broadcasts over the internet though. Bear in mind that not all radio stations broadcast over the internet. Thus you may not find your favourite stations which do terrestrial broadcasts only.

When i filter for US, there are 430 stations available for you to choose. Where as for Japan, there are only 2, Hong Kong 5, Msia 2 (domestic, u dun use ip radio .. hehehe just for info), Spore 1, UK 119, Ozzie 20, India 9, etc etc. Indonesia, China & Taiwan are not listed in the country search tho.

It's similar to those internet radios one uses on the pc or notebook.

here is a listing of compatible models :

Music Device Compatibility

most, if not all of the apps, can work on other models with the same symbian OS. can test out and see, if dun work, just uninstall .. hehehe.

obviously, i m trying to share those apps that are useful/playful (in my opinion) and that can work on the e71. keep the lowyat e71 community growing maaaa ... the e71, so far, is the best phone i bought todate in terms of usability and quality for that price. i thought it would be nice if everyone can share their apps.

rest assured tat it is not yr fone. it is becoz of the 3g services, they r not up to par. my maxis 3g service sucks the connection times out often, in particular, weak signal areas. wat to do, in a country where "everything boleh", like dat one ler.

i hv similar issues with realplayer when i try to view utube. u shud try mobitubia. it's better for watching utube on the fone. im using it on my e71.

the default e71 earphone is good for voice calls only. for music, it is horrid. i wud recommend tat u get a 2.5mm to 3.5mm audio jack and a reasonable earphone to enjoy yr mp3 collection better. do note that sound quality for utube is inferior. internet radio stations, depending on the bitrate they are streaming, can be awful when heard on a good earphone ... hehehe

... tried watching and downloading utube with realplayer this morning, connection is back to normal in my area, so no timed out.

Here's the free audio book reader workable on the e71:

Nokia Audio Book Reader
Nice gui, optimised for 320 x240, but only play amr-wb codec. The Nokia Audio Book Manager is available for download at the same link, this is installed on yr pc/notebook to convert yr audio books to amr-wb for transfer to your e71

Nokia Audio Book Reader


If you do not want to spend time on conversion and play yr audio books (mp3) direct, you can try the platysoft's Scheherazade. Works on the e71, the gui is bland but hey it works and it's free


Scheherazade

enjoy!
