PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless It's time for another phone review. PureMobile.com sent us the Nokia E71 for review. The E71 is a BlackBerry-style phone, with a full qwerty keyboard in a candybar form factor, meaning the E71 is direct competition for the phone we reviewed in October, the BlackBerry Bold 9000. Read on for our findings.

Well after one year using a WM6.0 device i need to switch..and switch fast!
Windows Mobile is sluggish,non-responsive,badly designed and a absolute nightmare if you want to use with your finger.
WM applications database is the only positive thing about it, even with 90% of that is pure garbage.

So after years using Nokias,is time to switch again from my HTC Touch to this phone. Nokia provides a rock-solid experience with "E" models and reviews about E71 are unanimous about his quality.

I had Nokia E61 for a while, two years ago, and it sucked so badly I had to quickly replace it with Treo 680 (which was even cheaper). Symbian is completely unusable without touchscreen. There are no shortcuts, for everything you have to go to the menu using the tiny joystick in the middle.

I don't know about E70, but it seems to me they didn't change it that much.
