Nokia E71, Which Color Do You Like Better? White or Grey?
June 26th, 2008 • Mark Guim • Filed Under •
I’m interested in finding out from those who are getting the Nokia E71 what color are you picking? The release is coming really soon and it seems that both are going to come out around the same time (although a major distributor tells me the white one is coming sooner than the black one).
For me, the white one is screaming, “Come buy me, Mark!” Which one do you like?

I’m not gonna buy the E71, but the E66, the black one
AJ on 26 June 2008:

At first I didn’t like the white one at all, but now I am definitely doubting as it is growing on me. Not sure yet…

I’m a E90-User, so i dont need a E71, but the grey looks like better.
MaRKz on 27 June 2008:
grey.

I´m gonna get a grey for sure to replace my N82. I´m just worried about to loose my wonderfull xenon cam but… …I need qwerty!

I had same doubt about my N82, So I did mix it!

Here in press photos,White one looks pretty but in reality the white colored components aren’t going well with the silver parts.Whereas the gray is much similar to the one in this press photo,so my choice would be that.I think its the reflections on the surface make them different in real thing.
Mark Guim on 28 June 2008:
@ravindra That’s what I’m afraid of as well. I need to actually see it.
Teo on 28 June 2008:
I just preordered the black/gray one.
marco on 28 June 2008:
White… for shure
Steve on 29 June 2008:
gray, don’t think the white looks right and is a little bit over with now.

Just ordered a gray one. It was a tough choice, but I got a “white” n82, which is basically just a silver phone. I didn’t want a silver e71, but… if it is white I’ll be jealous. I know I’ll regret whichever one I didn’t get anyway
So I decided to go with gray to mix it up. Can’t wait for it to be here in a day or two. Now hopefully Krusell makes a similar case as their one for the e61. That case was the best I’ve ever used!

Grey is in the mail. White is a tad too feminine..

I am off to Dubai this week and I was hinted that the E71 will be on sale there and the price will be of course duty free
The grey one is stunning but I could say the black is just the same. It’s only when you see both in front that you can decide I think… But on a virtual choice, the grey one is what is screaming at me… :))

Hi, I really really want to buy the white one, but I cannot find the release date for it, the grey one is now available but what happened to the white? Does anyone know where I can get a white one from? Or when the white one will be out?

looks kind of retro (which is good) and very un-blackberry (also good).
want.
Mady on 18 August 2008:
even m totally confused… grey or white… if anyonez seen both the colours please suggest…
David on 21 August 2008:
Whiiitee!! deffinitley white! i think it looks more sleek… i dont like the back of the grey one!
umesh on 29 August 2008:
I would have grey.
for white: The milky-white keys does not suit the silver part of the set. Moreover, the white one makes too much reflection.
Tom on 3 September 2008:
tough choice.
I got the White one. had it for a couple of days now.
white:
-like itlooking really clean.
-Like it for being unconventional
-Hate it for being a tad feminine
-keyboard may be more practical in black.
black looks more natural of a phone.
-really professional
-conventional looking
i think i’m keeping the white.
a good change from my black N93.
though black may look better with the keyboard lighted at night.
