Nokia E71 - A perfect smartphone

Nokia E71 is Nokia's craftsmanship at its
highest and high-tech goodies galore: auto focus cameras, Wi-Fi, GPS
and the power of the latest Symbian S60 UI.

The Nokia E71
packs a full hardware QWERTY keypad and its design feels somewhat
Blackberry-esque although it's actually a successor of the Nokia E61i.
Nokia E71 brings much more style to the E-series with a girth of mere
10mm. It's impressively compact for its form factor but that in turn
has shrinked the display to 2.36 inches (as opposed to the impressive
2.8" screen of E61i).

Hardwarewise, the E71 offers
the latest in smartphone with a built-in GPS receiver, which works with
Nokia Maps, 3 megapixel auto focus camera capable of shooting VGA video
at 22 fps (which is actually usable) and - of course - HSDPA and Wi-Fi.
There is also the microSD card slot to expand the available 110MB
memory with up to 8GB worth of additional storage.

It also features an Infrared port, as well as a microUSB port and Bluetooth (A2DP and EDR).

Email is the highlight, as it support a wide range of personal and corporate
email standards such as Microsoft Exchange, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail,
Hotmail, Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email solution, along with System
Seven and Visto Mobile. Encryption is also on board, as well as mobile
VPN support.

The Nokia E71 also come with a new switch mode (in the
profiles menu) for switching between personal and work home screens.

Clad in stainless steel and etched graphics (E51-style), the new handsets will be available in grey steel or white steel colors. You can find a very good review and feature usage guide here.
