for me i usually go for used set because the price different is alot. How often does your phone breaks down? Except if the owner is a careless user.
If you know how to identify a good unit pls buy used if u do not better buy ori.

To solve all your problem easily why not consult a symbian/nokia expert?

200 bucks diff? How much ? rm1k or 850? White colour quite hard to take car lor.. The keypad and side rubber cover will become yellowish as time pass.. Will if avaxx or zitron full set at rm 800-950.. can consider as a bargain d lor..

if 200 different i will straight go for a brand new set or ORI.

I only go for used set if the price is min different of 400 and above.

Andy,

it all depends on how long you intend to keep the phone. if jsut buy and play for a short while, i would go for a used one, even an AP set.  but if you are serious to get one for longer use, for your work or for daily internet uses, then i would go for a new or at least a newer used set.

On the clarifying the yellowing of the side rubber and keypad.. All u need to do is jus type in used white e71 in google and u will c.. Using d phone for 5 month eh.. Get a ori used set lor.. But price not much diff get a new 1 .. Sometimes if u r lucky got people use for 1 week they wanna sell d.. So be on a look out lor.. Paying full for a non-safe trader forumer is risky. But if u r nearby to the seller insist on COD. or risk getting nothing and end up losing everything

I'm just thinking of White if Red is so hard to find...
But the first thing to go might be the pouch, no?

i think there's no auto sms function for the e71.
bro, would suggest u to install yourself, u can pm me and ask me how to INSTALL    Zitron or Avaxx is basically the same, since both phone they selling are original phone.. i just got two more e71, and it's under AVAXX..
Fring?  i had used fring before too.. But it's not stable, don't u think so?? I've tried Fring on my HTC P3452, e63, e51, 5800XM and my e71... all those call will cut off itself for no reason, and the software are kinda hang on my HTC's PDA.
I had been using the E71 since the day it released on Malaysia, yup ! i must agree the e71 is very good in messaging and typing due to its QWERTY keypad.. 

btw, i don't use fring for internet call.. since it will drop the call itself & hang.. I'm using AVIOcall for internet call ,one time setting on phone and ready to go ! since it's free option that included in all in one package, and i heard from fren it's a malaysia based company.. so far i don't have problem with this internet call provider.. check out my sig for more info 

Andy0625, which shop are you getting it from?

Nope..mine is grey steel...
I heard of most of black steel still unable to update..give nokia sometimes..

SETTING>GENERAL>POSITIONING>POSITIONING METHOD>TICK OFF AGP

Just curious, is this AGPS the so-called external GPS? If you disable AGPS then presumably the built-in will kick in?
