Design, size, controls

The phone measures up at 114x57x10 mm and tips our scales at 127 grams. That said, the E71 is an extremely pocket-friendly device that will readily slip into just about any pocket.

Battery

The handset utilizes a 1500 mAh Li-Pol battery (BP-4L), as opposed to the Nokia N82’s 1050 mAh cell. The E71 is rated for 10.5 hours of talk time (GSM) and 20 days of standby. Music time – up to 18 hours.


Memory

The device comes equipped with 128 Mb of RAM, after first launch you will get around 70 Mb of free memory at your disposal, which is enough for running a dozen applications and browsing “heavy” web-pages – the word “slow-down” is definitely not in the E71’s vocabulary.The user almost has 110 Mb of storage available, where any data can be stored.The E71 deals with microSD memory cards (hot-swappable), the phone comes packaged with a 2Gb unit. There are no restrictions as far as memory card’s size is concerned – our handset easily identified a 8Gb card.

Performance

Thanks to its, beefed up memory and a faster CPU (ARM11 running at 369 Mhz.

USB, Bluetooth, Wifi.

Camera

The E71 utilizes a 3.2 Mpix CMOS camera with auto-focus. Its User Guide reads that to focus on an object you will need to press the “T” button.

GPS-navigation

The major update to this department is the new version of Nokia Maps.

Price 350 Euro.
