This is a little bit of a rant. And please don’t misunderstand this post, I love Nokia and everything they do. I love the fact that they encourage creativity, blogging and the rich community of Symbian fans everywhere. I can’t help but feel like they are falling into the same dangerous pitfalls other companies (i.e. Moto, SE, RIM) have. What can they do better?

It looks like maybe the Nokia E72 have a better camera and the spacebar was reduced to make way for additional buttons compared to the Nokia E71. Let’s analyze the leaked Nokia E72 and E75 video again. It looks just like the E71 but thicker and available in bright red color. What does the extra thickness bring in addition to the thinner Nokia E71?

Andrew Boxall from Dial-a-phone, one of our sponsors, have written a review of the Nokia E71 calling it one of the best business phones period. SMS messaging also makes the QWERTY keyboard welcoming to those non-business users who love to text.

Mark (The Boss) and I went out last Saturday to go out and deliver some of our new Nokia E71 NAM from our store. Started early around 9 AM and we proceeded to go to the Poconos to shoot some guns at Sunset Hill shooting range. Also, I included a video of Mark and I briefly comparing the Nokia E71 to the Blackberry Curve in terms of looks and feel. Peep the videos after the hash brown.

My new shiny Nokia E71 came in handy taking some pictures and videos of my buddies and I shooting some pistols and rifles at a shooting range in Pennsylvania. I admit the quality is not at the same level as the Nokia N95 8GB or Nokia N82, but it is acceptable for sharing and viewing online. Check it out.
