Nokia E71 Review

Performance:

Our eyes begin to tear up when we remember how the first Symbian phones worked, but not because of the nostalgia. It’s not very practical to wait for a minute for an application to load, even less practical if it’s something important. Fortunately, the E71 works very, very fast and you won’t run into such problems. Still, we’ll miss the beautiful smooth transitions that we witnessed in the E66.

The phone is also up to the mark when it comes to sound quality during a call, even though we expected something more from a high-end business phone. We don’t have any remarks about the volume, but the voices were “dangerously” sharp on both sides of the line. This can be reduced a little by turning the volume down a bit. The loudspeaker is rather monotonous, but usable as a whole.

The manufacturer has thought of those of you that speak a lot, and has equipped the device with a battery that officially has to endure up to 10 hours of talk time or 408 hours of standby. Of course, such results cannot be achieved in case of intense writing and surfing.


Conclusion:

Everyone of our team liked the Nokia E71, even though none of us is a downright business user. With it, you’ll be able to easily organize and optimize your work so that you’ll have more free time for yourself and your favorite hobbies. Our only serious remark is about the camera. Yes, it’s not a main factor when buying a business phone, but when you pay about $450 for a phone, you’d expect that everything in your new device should be top-notch, right?
