Wow, I’ve seen a ton of E71 reviews thus far, but one thing I haven’t seen is a negative review. You can imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon this review on SymbianInMotion.com titled ‘Nokia E71 - The Letdown’. Abul points out a few things that irk me on the E71, as well, such as the camera implementation and the 2.5mm audio jack.
The camera button….oh wait, there’s not one, strike one. Strike two comes when you want to use the autofocus, for which the ‘T’ button is used. Rather odd, since, other than physical location (and without any indicator on the button itself), this makes zero logical sense.
The 2.5mm headset port is less annoying, since you *are* supplied with a stereo headset courtesy of Nokia, but as Abul points out, these are seldom suitable for real music enjoyment. You could always swing down to your nearest Radio Shack to rummage for a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter, but why should you need to?
You’ll want to click through to read the rest of Abul’s complaints against this smartphone beauty. What other letdowns can you think of?

I have both E61i and E71 phones. I’m very dissapointed with the E71 keyboard. After the second day of installing softwares and learning the features on the E71 phones, the “Character key” fell off. The keyboard is very flimsy. I’m having a problem getting the phone exchanged. Especially Nokia is no help at all when you have problem with their phones.
E71 features are much easier to use, however, E61i is a sturdier phone.
