I missed the chance to buy the 1 buck software sad.gif
Guys, what's the common software you install on your E71. Since the phone is still new, hard to get the compatible software.
Thanks.

Phone is new but Symbian OS S60v3 is mature enough to have many many softwares.
There are tonne of it, very much depend on individual's need and usage.

Errr.. why Nokia remove some of the special characters on the keyboard like underscore (_), percentage (%), etc. What a waste... still prefer my old E61 keyboard... oh well, could it be E71i soon...?

But... after browsing a few sites, the special characters are there for Europe version...when I play with demo set, the special characters are not there...
*
for me, I prefer the new layout...at least more clean, less cluster...all the symbol can be insert with 1 dedicated button located at bottom right...so not really biggie, dun think we goin to use that so often..

Becarefull when buyin AP set, most of them didnt support Chinese Character natively. AP co. will flash another firmware to make with work. Because of this thing, I had to cancel 2 deal in lowyat forum...Money sent twice to 2 different AP seller and refunded..
In the end, spend RM100+ more to get a set from Dynamic Multimedia. My set come with Chinese symbol on keypad and support Chinese character natively...

I'm currently using E70 and now drooling over this new model. Wonder if it's easy to find the cover or sillicon cover for this model (to avoid scratch on the body) coz my E70 very hard to find the plastic cover (never found silicon cover till now)
*
Now should be a bit diffiicult becoz E71 still consider "new" to market.
A lot of after market accessory still not widely available.
It also depend on how popular (or how many) E71 can sell to consumer. The bigger the quantity, the better the variety of accessory..for example Iphone, N95, N73 (hot selling couple years back)

Give it some time...E71 had the "wow" factor that can woo wider range of consumer (not just biz class people)

Welcome aboard rclxms.gif rclxms.gif
when I first got my e71..i didnt charge it...straight took out battery from E61i and use...lol..cannot tahan liao.

About the A-GPS from E71, I noticed it really need to use Assisted GPS to kick start the sat. logging process. If didnt use, it will took very long time to lock position.
But assisted GPS involved data transfer...so be prepare when U see extra RM in yr telco bill. each initial locked on I think around 5kb (estimated)

Thanks for replied, I did try that too. I just found out my e71 is the model e71-2 which I think is a US model with UMTS 850/1900. Do you guys this might be the cause? If yes, what can I do?
*
Ya..E71-2 cannnot use Asia Pac 3G netowrk.
Where U brought yr E71? Might go to the shop and "F" the shopkeeper to exchange for U...


By the way, any1 know any good RSS reader for S60v3??. I am currently using Resco News, but it limited to certain sites only..

Hi bro,

Thanks for suggestion, I had tried that but still not working. Fyi, I still can use the search function when I'm in the contact book.

APAC version of E71 dun have this feature as stated by many forum like Howardforums, hardwarezone.sg.

Not sure why nokia disable it on E71-1 (APAC variant). Some said it will fix it on next firmware update...Let pray

not very familiar yet with symbian OS..

Wanted to ask something, how do i go to home screen while surfing and return back to the page i am browsing..

and what is the recommended IM for MSN?
*
For 1 question: U can press and hold home screen button for few secs, then U can see all the background apps that running...Choose back which apps U want...walla... For web browsing, I would recommend operamini...fast, user friendly and lesser data trasnfered compare to original nokia web

For MSN, Window Live Messeger for S60v3 is a good 1...incorporate many Microsoft's programe like Messenger, Space, Hotmail and etc..

Anyone use Blackberry or who really uses the functions of a PDA?
No asking for opinions of Ah Bengs who buys this phone to make calls and send sms.
I ussed to have a Blackberry and I switched to Nokia E71 and this is what I found out about E71 (can't wait for Blackberry Bold)

1. Phone hangs for about 5 seconds right after finishing a phone conversation. It doesn't allow you make another call or lock your keypad in a jiffy. Extremely annoyed with this flaw.

2. People complain that they can't get me sometimes. And I can't call out sometimes too! It says connection error!

3. You can only set 2 emails (Non POP3 emails) to do a automatic email retrieval. And you can only retrieve Header and not full email. Phone also does not allow you to do other things while retrieving email. Deleted email from server needs to deleter 2 or more times to dissapear.

4. Automatic email retrieval setting gets RESET in the middle of the day without you knowing. And you wonder why you are not receiving any emails.

5. Scroll is extremely slow for long emails.

6. Viewing emails or messages longer than a page is a bum. The screen does scroll seamlessly, it seems to scroll 3 lines in a roll and you tend to lose sight of which line you are reading.

7. There's no STOP all programs from running button. Instead you got to go to each individual program and exit them else they would be showing a dot on the program icon you did not end.

8. I transferred my contact list from my Lotus Database. Although it shows Michael Smith as a First Name, the retard software reads it as First name Michael and Middle Name Smith on the phone.

Its sad that Nokia are only getting opinions from phone users and not PDA users thus they are unable to develop a proper PDA. This is evident by the number of people saying that the E71 is a good phone in asia.cnet.com. They are mainly PHONE users who do not require PDA functions but requires a phone which resembles a PDA.  rclxub.gif
*
Although I am not a vivid PDA user, but from the problems U listed. Not all are E71 fault and some are easily solve with 3rd party software.
Symbian OS is more toward flexibility and more simple platform compare to other.
1) The phone is not "hang". It was a pause for couple of sec. I dun think it is 5 secs long. This happen to all symbian phone i used.
2) I think this is a network coverage rather than blaming the phone. Sometime U are out of coverage or at a poor signal area. It a norm in Malaysia. Not a single telco in malaysia have 100% coverage
3, 4, 5) Not using email much...no comment
6) Ya. had to agree with U on this point. But I think not just E71 have this flaw...other BB, winmo had this problem, rite?
7) This can be solve by using 3rd party software like TaskMan, Tracker and etc.
8) Ya. Is annoying. But is just like U booking Air Ticket, train ticket, Visa and other Mat salleh form...yr name is spell like that too..For me, just need to get use to the mat salleh naming format. I take the pain and redo all my 600+ contact at Outlook with proper Last Name, First Name...now I am ok with it...

Symbian are for people who like simplicity and stable OS and a little bit more flexibility in term of 3rd party software. Winmo is bloated and resource hogging and not stable, BB is superior on it's push mail and PIM feature but lag of multimedia features.
In the end, it just about personal preferences...A phone just cant suite any1 (even for E71 case that aim toward biz class user)
