E71x Q&A With Matthew Miller

nokiae71xMatthew Miller at NokiaExperts has been putting his Nokia E71x through the ringer, seeing what things it can and cannot do. He says that he’s preparing a whole set of posts designed to help new users out, but in the meantime, he’s assembled somewhat of an FAQ to answer most of the questions that he’s been asked repeatedly.

If you don’t already know, there are some pretty significant software differences between the E71x and the unbranded E71, aside from the upgraded version of S60 3rd Edition. Most notably, the hardware keys have been locked down, so you cannot reprogram them like you can on the E71. Also, it appears that the FM radio has been removed, and we know that Share Online is not integrated, either.

However, as Matthew discovers, you can still install Nokia Maps, if you wish, and also Nokia Messaging (just use the website to send the installation SMS, and select the E75 as your phone). Head on over to check out the other questions.
