I suppose any Nokia charger from older Nokia phone will be ok, right?

Never used these smartphone before so probably a dumb question. When you hook up the wifi and access Internet, what about virus? Do you have to install 3rd party antivirus programs etc just like normal pc?

Thanks.

So you are saying these Nokia E series phone are basically naked. And the only defense is common sense and keeping finger crossed?

Now here is another dumb question of mine. I read that these phone can read Microsoft Words, Excel and PDF files etc. Do you have to install any special software before you can do so or do these phones come already pre-loaded with the necessary software to do so? Thanks.

Hi. Can you use free VOIP like Skype to another Skype user with these type of phone at wifi hotspot? If yes, how?

Thanks.

Sorry, but what's fring?

How much is an iphone in Malaysia and why aren't you people opting for that instead?

As I said before, I have never used any phone with wifi ability to check email and free VOIP while traveling. But I only travel about 2 weeks in an year overseas so whatever device I pick, it must 1st of all be a great phone (lightweight, clear voice & long battery life) and with wifi as highly desirable secondary feature.

Originally I was looking at these Nokia smartphone but came across this iphone so seeking you people's advise.

Thanks.

Thank you very much. And can both open normal office documents and pdf files? And since it is mainly for my business usage, which is more reliable and tougher built to stand abuse?

And beatlesalbum, what's your beef? Can't ask questions here?

What's wrong with you? Just have a fight with your misses? I am not surprised you did with you sort of attitude.

Bashing? Why are you so touching when somebody else mention iphone? You should go see a psychiatrist. You are one damaged goods.

FYI, I am not bashing anything. As I said before, I have never used any smartphone before and since I have always used Nokia, I automatically think of those from Nokia. And since a friend also mentioned iphone, I thought the best way to know more is ask those who knows both. You can shut your mouth if you don't want to answer any of my queries.

Now go ahead, go cry to mama.

Added on May 21, 2009, 5:16 pmThank you. I think I now have a general idea of what to expect from these smartphone. Having given it some thought, I think I will go for the conventional keypad like E51 or the E52 instead because >95% of my usage will be using it as a phone. I don't think I can handle the small keypad of E71.

One more question. With past non-smart Nokia, the one thing I don't like is the slow responsive time. How about these Symbian powered Nokia? Are they better or just as bad?

I didn't know iphone cost twice as much as E71. Thanks for telling me that. And ya, I think this is the No1 reason for me to not consider iphone.

BTW, does anyone know when would the E52 be launched in Malaysia and any indicative price?

Depends on what you use your phone for.

When used properly, business smartphone can increase productivity and hence more money.

Of course if only for meaningless chit chat and to show off, you will lose money.

Nokia smartphone like this E71 and using Skype VOIP service. I only have experience with pc to pc so is there any difference with mobile phone? Better? Worst? Same? Difficulties?

Thanks

Hi. How safe it is to use credit card buying stuff over the internet using this smartphone? I am thinking of buying Air Asia ticket. Thanks.
