This is the prettiest phone I have ever owned. Build quality is excellent and I liked the keypad. The phone is quick and responsive and call quality was good. The browser is not as good as on the iPhone, but much better than Windows Mobile. The OS does take some getting used to and does not look as pretty as competing ones. However, it offers tons of customization that iPhone owners can only dream of.
I wanted to keep this phone, but chose to return it because of email integration. For POP email, it either checks email automatically and downloads the message or it checks it, downloads the header and informs you that you have a new message. This was a deal breaker for me. What's the point of downloading the message if it doesn't alert the user that there are new messages? Going the other route (by downloading headers only) would be ok, if it didn't take ages to manually download messages. Also, hotmail and yahoo mail required special apps to download, which did not automatically check for new messages. The final email related frustration is that by default, it does not download html messages. You can click the attachment and it brings up the message in the browser, but it's an extra step.
One final distraction was the phone's constant alerts asking if it was ok to connect to the network and asking which one to connect to. For North American users that have an "unlimited" data plan, this option is annoying.Get more detail about Nokia E71 Unlocked Phone with 3.2 MP Camera, 3G, Media Player, GPS, Wi-Fi, and MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Gray).
