the light leakage between the lcd and keypad is within lcd's pixel or it is just "light" emitted?

e71 keypad is not 100% fit in its place, but with light force u can push the pad to lcd or away or align it the way u wan

The keypad fits snugly. No amount of pushing can fix the light leakage. Plus, I bought another set.. and it's light leakage was limited to a small area.. which leads me to believe its a QC problem.

light leakage means the key pad light shine out?

It means u can see light coming out thru a small gap between the top soft keys, D-pad and the screen.

Not the keypad light. Light leaks out from a small gap between the keypad and the LCD.. It's like a straight line. Makes that area looks 'kasar'.

I'm trying to search for some pics to illustrate the issue.

i guess is a design problem
maybe they make the lcd border non transparent then no more leakage

so the avaxx/zitron maybe will just take out ur lcd and paint a dark paint on lcd's border n put it back
just joking XD

its normal and its the design not a fault. When you have lighting between 2 object and there is a gab in between you will see it. Other model nokia phone also have this design..i think other brand also.

Dude.. its definitely not part of the design. I got another E71 and it doesn't have the light leakage problem like mine. I'm bringing it in for warranty tomorrow morning. Hopefully Nokia Care doesn't screw up my phone.

I didnt have this so called leakage when my phone was brand new. I had a problem with the keypad (feels bouncy for the ones nearest to the screen)and Nokia replaced it with a new one. Since then, the leakage appeared.

My theory is that since manufacturing pushed the keypad all the way up to minimize the gap, they sacrificed the keypad alignment. So in my case it was time the keypad gave up and started to misalign and make squeaking sounds when pressed.

Any photo of the leakage?

aside from what's stated in the changelog, nothing much to add
gps lock might be slower, but i tested last night when it was cloudy, will try again later
the new themes are great, btw
wifi also got improved, found several wlan network from my room which i didn't found when on firmware 100.

White user here. No, the keypads don't get dirty easily, even after a few months of usage.

The only thing you have to be careful about, is the memory card door, and USB cable socket door, which is made of rubber, and is more prone to stains than any other part of the phone.

before that i also think of getting a white 1 but afraid it turn to yellow ...
I dont know how true is this but for the safe reason, I got myself the grey 1 ..

elop, im new e71 owner.. hehehe.. lotsa info in this forum for my reference..

how to update to latest firmware? i followed this guide to change the product code but nokia software updater still detected no latest firmware..

http://www.e71blog.com/2009/01/how-to-chan...m-product-code/

have you verified that the product code was successfully changed? (disconnect, reconnect and reread)
and which product code you changed to?

Googled for NSS (Nokia Service Suite), download and read the tutorial on how to changed it code and use Nokia Updater for firmware update... This only apply to AP Set, AVVAXX or ZITRON dont need this...
