Yes, the Nokia E71 is targeted for business, but that can’t stop us from watching videos on it! Using my video conversion guide, I converted the trailer of Hancock and sent the same file to both the Nokia E71 and Nokia N95 8GB for a video playback comparison. Let’s see how they look.

Video Formats: Web High resolution, Mobile, Youtube.

For better comparison, I suggest watching the high resolution format. I honestly did not expect the video to play on the Nokia E71 but it surprisingly did. Here are the specs of the trailer that was played on both phones.

• H.264
• 320×176 resolution
• Stereo 44.1 kHz
• 23.98 FPS

Not bad, right? What’s cool is that I don’t have to tilt the phone to the side since the orientation of the Nokia E71 display is already in landscape.

This test, however is still not conclusive that the Nokia E71 is capable of playing all videos that plays well on the Nokia N95 8GB. The Nokia E71 struggles with 320×240 videos at 30fps unlike the Nokia N95 8GB. The Nokia E71 is more comfortable with 15fps. After finding this information out, I now have to make sure all my vlog mobile formats should be converted to 15fps from now on so Nokia E71 users can watch them on their phone.
