Hi all! Just got the e71 YESTERDAY for RM1900 Avaxx set at Alam Sentral. Well actually went there just to trade in my e51 with N82 coz e51's screen is sooooooo small. problem when watching movies. But e51's function was superb and suits my business needs. But when i examined the n82's keypad. don't suits my taste coz its too tiny for my thumb. Then, after hearing me complaining this and that about n82, the phone's sales men let out something in the box. He said just came in on Monday so you'll be the first one to see it. LO AND BEHOLD! the e71. I fell in love with it instantly, with nice screen, nice keypad and most important thing is that it has the more or less the same function with e90 or even n95 (minus the camera and the ngage that is). it has a-gps too by the way.

so trade in my e51 with e71 and without a doubt this is the best phone i ever own. the d-pad is amazing! you have to test it out to believe it....



p.s : thinking of selling my pdair leather case for e51 flip type and the holux gps m1200 in the garage sales thread....see you there.....

yup avaxx is he official distributor....try to browse thru nokia malaysia website....even there also don't have preview of e71....

so have u tried using the agps yet. Mine take quite some time to lock in. In fact it cannot not lock on at all. Hv done all the setting right. But strange to say that when i paired it with my holux gps receiver. It lock on quite fast at about 10 secs.

Amdx, thank god. I'm starting to think that my phone agps malfunction already. Is it possible that my agps broke coz i can't seem to get it to work. Probably coz i tried it indoor but again when pairing it with my gpas receiver it was ok even in indoor area (my room to be exact)

Well i think that probably u can get it at that price coz its an ap phone. For avaxx or zitron set the price range is around rm1800 to 2000 plus. Correct me if i'm wrong

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.

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 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.

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.

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?

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!

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

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

I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT

You know what, at first this e71 wasn't even in my radar when i went searching for my new phone. Planning to get the n82. But then when i saw this phone and try it for myself. Its love at first sight. Try it first, you never know...

I think I've commented with regards to gps function few posts above

for those who have bought and in doubt of any casing other than the one given...

i have found out most iphone leather case / belt case will fit e71.... give it a try

great!!! could you tell me where exactly the place at midvalley, coz planning to go there too

well i do agree the qwerty keypad is not for somebody with big thumbs...but for small to moderate size thumbs should be ok...

well guys...just wanna inform u all that the screen protector for e71 is widely available for rm20 front and back, although the back part seems hard to stick on, dunno why....
