I finally gave up my HTC Touch phone for this one.
This is my second symbian. My first was Sony Ericsson P910. Nokia E71 uses Symbian S60 (3rd Edition). It's a predecessor of E61i. The design is sleek, covered with stainless steel housing, makes it elegant and sexy. The qwerty keyboard and screen has shrunk and compact in design.
I have been using windows mobile since 4 years ago. I am kind of tired with stylus and slow processing of windows mobile OS. Symbian OS is snappy and very straight forward. It provides business application that is useful. With the qwerty, typing is a breeze. It's very good for email and sms. You may think that the keyboard it's very crampy, but when you get used to it, it's very easy to type.
Nokia E71 is a excellent business phone. Of course it will not have variety of softwares if you compared with windows mobile. The phone features beats WM flat. It comes with all connectivity that is known, which is bluetooth, 3G, wifi and GPS. So far, the connectivity is fast. Bluetooth pairing is definitely faster than WM. It comes with 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash.
In the box, it comes with a pair of ear phone, a charger, a leather pouch, 2GB micro SD card and cd & manuals.
This phone will satisfy your one hand operation.
The only drawback I have with this phone is that the glossy housing attracts finger prints. But once you clean it, it's a real bling bling!
