Want Exchange? You have to download Mail For Exchange (MFE) or buy a 3rd party application.

Want GMail / Hotmail / Yahoo? You have to download Nokia Email, a buggy and not very good email application that doesn't fully integrate into the E71's home screen. Or, you can get the GMail client from Google, but it also doesn't integrate with the native mailbox AND it doesn't support attachments.

Also, the contacts and calendar program is beyond ugly. Contacts in particular is useful for nothing more than dialing. Have any notes attached to a contact? I hope you don't want to see that note on your phone.

The phone is good, but not ready for prime time business use yet.

I'm not sure if it'll be covered by warranty though. Call Nokia customer care. There are authorized repair centers you can go to. I'm not sure if it'll be covered by warranty though.

The E71 displays only 5 lines of text with huuuuge space between the lines. Whereas it can display 10 lines when you are reading mail headers. Decreasing the font size won't decrease the line height, so you get cramped little characters in lines as thick as my finger. VPN is also poor. With the available data for the Cisco VPN client (Windows XP), an iPhone can be set up in 3 minutes to use VPN. The E71 wants data from me I'v never heard of (policy server?)

Tried the E71 and returned it as it could not replace the Blackberry when using Exchange for email. Composing email is slow (adding recipients without auto-complete is bad) and even looking through email messages was an issue: scrolling past newest message brought you to oldest without clear indication of 'wrap'. The camera too, was bad, and like another person, felt that ActiveSync connections drained the battery. Great review.

I got a chance to try an E71 out the other day at Best Buy. The buttons are, and I know almost everyone's said this before, ridiculously small! For my fingers, at least. I understand maybe they're easy to get used to but I was almost laughing at how hard it was for me to push ONE damn button haha. Hm. I got a chance to try an E71 out the other day at Best Buy.

Damn, I was hoping the E71 would be better, so I could finally replace my WinMo. Doesn't feel like it though. :-( Sorry to say, next buy: HTC Diamond. By the way, does the N79 have the same e-mail/Exchange capabilities as the E71? Thinking about buying it for private use, but would still like to have Exchange... Nice review, thanks!
