not ur fingers big..but E71's keypad SMALL..hehe CClock of course can install...

ck the dedicated camera key doesnt launch the camera application eh? weird right? anything u want to share with me before i decide on which hp i will get?

Nope it dont, but no big deal coz u can just assign any shortcut key for camera. As for opinion-wise, it actually depends on yourself Since both E71 and E66 are siblings and have 95% similar software+hardware specs, in the end its more on the looks which you favour most. If you'd like to know, I'm against the E71 for a few particular reasons:

1. Looks just like a Blackberry
2. Smallish QWERTY keypad
3. No camera shutter key
4. No portrait display mode
5. More bugs and problems reported compared to E66
6. I prefer slide phones compared to bar phones

However, it's just my personal view..

Hmm,its been really a long time since i used a slide phone. My last slide phone was the W580. More to a fan of a candybar but then i cant seem to use the E71 QWERTY keypad without pressing both alphabet at the same time. Have to FOCUS . Anyway,is the sound loud? my current k810 is so soft when got sms in noisy enviroment confirm wont hear and also the vibration not so strong,or maybe my skin too thick . Thanks for sharing ck_spaceboy.

Im totally satisfied with the volume..reviews on the net have claimed that both the sound processing of E71 and E66 are totally same.

Vibration is super strong.. Prob the best way for you to decide is to play around with both phones at the shop.

Hehehhehe...can stop playing the GPS features inside the phone.

One question:

If the 3 month trial for maps ends, is the GPS deactivated or only the map current update feature?

i really respect u bro ck
as u still answer all the question that the forumer ask over and over again
As some, don even bother to "READ" before asking

Yes BlackBerry BOLD 9000's my main phone now, love it to bits! The Push Email and messaging capabilities just blew my mind! Using the E71 as my secondary phone.

Yeah that's the problem, no accelerometer, no "Flip to Silent". That's why thinking of getting the E66 just for that feature.

But the E71's keypads are really nice, the best from Nokia to date.

Hmm... on the contrary, I read that E66 has more bugs than the E71, but I could be mistaken.

I self profess to have large fingers, and yet using the E71's keyboard is a breeze for me, and I don't have any problems in pressing 2 keys at the same time.

Having said that, I sometimes still prefer a normal keypad, like the one on the E66.

Lol, my initial view of getting the E66 is for that feature too, but then looking back i rather have the shake to read sms since most of the time i use my phone to sms. Less calling .

I dont know bout who has the most bugs but Im sure it can be overcome with the recent firmware update so no biggie.

If I'm to buy the E71, it will be the first QWERTY keypad phone i have,nervous . Both E-series seriously kill this time

p/s : I'm pestering my dad to get himself a blackberry bold. I wanna play with it

wished e66 had the same battery lifespan with the e71

If you're like me, once you go QWERTY, you won't look back!

And when you use a normal keypad-ed phone, you'll start missing QWERTY phones.

That is what i've been hearing from ppl that switch to QWERTY phones.
They say, once get used to it, never look back. Lol.

Thanks sonyclie77 for yr opinions

the other options is to wait for E75..QWERTY+Normal Keypad+Slider..hehe, solve all problems

Any newz of when they wana launch this new model. Is the new firmware for E66 & E71 out, any one updated?

nope..even this pictures and a video is leaked from Nokia...perhaps 1Q next year kua..

new firmware still not released yet..

Lol,im pretty sure when that is launch the price wont be as cheap as the current 1. Confirm 2k above which i think is overly expensive

Since ther's no news on the specs yet, we arent sure what will be the price structure..but the phone looks really good..

Well they call it upgrade for a reason, i dont think only put the slide QWERTY kepyad lor. surely upgrade in the specs too which when consider will be expensive. ok lets not get out of topic here. this thread for e66 only

u'r rite..hehe
