Nokia E71 Review

Nokia E71 – it is more than a work on the previous E61i QWERTY-smartphone’s mistakes. The device combines in itself the functionality of a business assistant and a much more attractive appearance in comparison with the predecessors.

Originally, the idea of ruler E (in particular, smartphones with full QWERTY keyboard) was intended exclusively to business-users: a maximum of features for work, Wi-Fi, lack of digital camera and other multimedia features. Actually, the implementation of these conditions can be seen only in the first model – Е61. In the following reincarnations of the E- models, practically all the multimedia opportunities have been returned to the consumer.

The market of the QWERTY keyboard phones is not characterized by dynamism, its target audience is narrow, and the announcements of similar devices are infrequent outside America – the main lands of BlackBerry-devices. In this light, it becomes especially important to update the E segment.

After the Е71 release – the newest model in the QWERTY devices series – a serious blank between the devices indexes was formed (after consecutive release of Е61 and Е61i). However, the indexes difference evidently shows significant distinctions in functional saturation and positioning.
