Make Your Nokia E71 Look Like The N86

Themes are one of the great ways you can customize the look of your Nokia E71, often giving it a whole new life. As you know, I can’t stand the fugly grey icons that come with the E71, and thus I usually focus on themes that allow me to replace those ugly icons with the great looking ones from the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, also called S60 Touch icons.

One new themer who’s doing great stuff, specifically for the Nokia E71, which he also carries, is Tehk7. He’s recently released 3 new themes for the Nokia E71, all with these great S60 Touch icons! First up is N86, using that classy blue background and your choice of orange (Solace) or green (Vista) highlights.

Tehk7 also put together two others, called Touch:

And Light:

What’s so great about Tehk’s themes is that he’s really mastered the small things about the E71, such as the highlights on the Active Standby, as well as the Messaging icons from Nokia Messaging.

    I am really happy to see this Blog jumping with new posts. It might feel like a hardship to post about a product that is already passed Nokia’s evolutionary time line but Bang On! Just today I had a friend tell me what my E71 can’t do? My answer was simple…. “Touch Screen”, I don’t need it. I do not want it. Simple fact is that if it were touch then it would have been broken in a week. So cheers to this staff for keeping me and many others delighted to see bloggers that care about the old girl (E71). She might be banged, battered, and mistreated but I love her.

    Oh and I’ve been rocking this theme for at least two to three weeks already. Daily Mobile is on point all day and EVERY day.

    But Thanks. I needed to vent.

    Ha P.s. Ur Ghey

    What I hate most about most theme for E71 is that they do not take care of the Contact screen. Both the theme background and contact fonts are in black, resulting in only one contact name is display at any time. The themes with dark/black background need to take care to swap the default contact font from black to white.

    The themes I released have taken care of the contact screen.
    They look perfect on my E71
