Nokia E71x Now Out For $0.01 With Service Plan
May 4th, 2009 • Mark Guim • Filed Under •
Nokia just announced on Monday that the Nokia E71x is finally available in AT&T stores. I don’t recommend heading to the store and getting it for $99 after mail-in-rebate, because it is on Amazon for only a penny! That’s right… only $0.01 out of pocket if you extend your contract for 2 years.
The difference between the Nokia E71x and the previous Nokia E71 which I previously reviewed:
- Nokia E71x will include customizations and probably restrictions from AT&T vs an unlocked Nokia E71. (more on this later)
- Nokia E71x runs on S60 3rd Ed. FP2 vs. S60 3rd Ed. FP1 on E71.
- You are required to pay $30/month for data plan on E71x vs. $15/month on an unlocked Nokia E71.
Do you think it’s better to just buy the unlocked Nokia E71 vs Nokia E71x? I would consider the E71x if they improved the camera quality from the E71.

The extra $15 a month totals up to $360 which pretty much buys you a new, unlocked E71. And the E71 can be upgraded to FP2 right?

According to everything I've been reading, you can't upgrade.

You definitely can't upgrade to FP2, but I wonder which FP is better for this phone. I've never used an e-series phone, but e71 with FP1 (at least from pictures i've seen) seems to have some kind of email integration on the standby screen. Doesn't seem so in FP2. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

check out whats interesting, the contract can not be changed for 181 days only. So think about it, u pay only for about 6 months of a data plan @ 30$/month than change it later….or cancel the data plan.

It is true that the contract restriction is for 181 days only and after that you can cancel it. However, AT&T does not allow you to choose 15$ data plan for this phone because it is branded as smart phone. So, either you have a data plan that costs 30$ per month or no data plan at all

How would you get the 15/mo plan? I looked for it before I switched to AT&T but couldn't find it.
