Dial-A-Phone Claims The E71 As Gadget Show Hero

E71 White SteelAndrew Boxall, over at Dial-A-Phone, has reviewed the Nokia E71, looking at every feature and even how it fits in with Nokia’s lineup. Most of the review is also spent comparing the Nokia E71 to the recently launched Apple iPhone 3G, against which it actually fares rather well.

Despite the smaller screen and less intuitive web browsing, Andrew decides that the E71 bests the iPhone 3G in several areas, including the awesome QWERTY keyboard and GPS implementation. What do you think? Have you had a chance to compare directly with the iPhone 3G?

  1. Just got my E71 yesterday and im thrilled (had an E61i and E61 before that).
    The only donwside is the lack of the “_” on the keypad.

    I had a iPhone 3G before returning it and getting the e71. I found the iPhone too big and heavy, lacked VOIP support, and was too tied to the dreadful iTunes app. The iPhone is an iPod with phone features but I was looking for a good phone. The e71 is just that.

    Had the iphone 3g and just sold it after a month of use. Hands down, the Nokia e71 beats the iphone. My favorite feature thus far is the wifi hotspot you can create using the e71 and not to mention the cheaper data plan!
