Comments on: New Nokia E66, E71 go a little more business casual

Traditionally, E series devices have been very corporate centric and serious in design, but now Nokia is updating the line with a more modern look and a fresh set of features.

You are absoluetly right. I guess this will be my next phone as it has all I need. Probably more :)

WiFi support today is important and of course it is much more easier to check my mails without the need of turning the computer on or just sit down there. I get loads of mails everyday so I appreciate this feature. Maybe I can use Skype but I am not sure if this can be solved with this phone and software.

I do not own any mp3 player so when I am on the run I need sth to listen to music with. This phone has a strong multimedia support and that is perfect! Photos? I don't really care. If I want to take good pictures, then I use my Nikon DSLR. These small crap lens will never make quality shots even with 30000000 pixels ;)

What I also like about this phone is that it uses all the new features Nokia has.. like tapping function.. it shows the date and the clock while sleeping and also mutes the call and again reject it..

What I don't understand: it cannot be charged via USB.. microUSB port is awesome but it can do MORE than the new Nokia phones support.

The style and the materials are absolutely number 1 so this phone will be a good deal even in this price range. No need for N96!

E71 is a very well designed device. Finally Nokia living up to its quality name.

Superb build quality, 3G, WLAN, GPS, FM, QWERTY, very fast UI, very light, sharp display, office, PDF. Package comes with a 2GB MicroSD (16GB also works fine), leather carry case and wrist strap.

I love Nokia S60 Internet Radio app so many free radio stations! browsers like Opera suppport Flash and with Skyfire browser's remote rendering featues you can do almost any thing.

Note: Be careful of the Skyfire browser, it proxies everything, best not to do any banking with it.

DEAR SIRS,

I HAD PURCHASE NOKIA E66 MODEL HANDSET FROM THE MOBILE STORE {WASHERMEN PET, CHENNAI } ON 30-8-.08
VIDE THEIR INVOICE NUMBER TN/01254/00001/6640. IMEI NUMBER OF THE HANDSET IS 352943021555342.
ON USING THE HAND SET I CAME TO KNOW THAT THERE WAS SOME MANUFACTURING DEFECT OF NOT DETECTING THE SIM CARD AND MEMORY CARD. I GAVE IT TO THE NOKIA CARE {PRINCE TOWER., PURUSAIWALKAM, CHENNAI} ON 8-10 -08.
AND THEY RETURNED BACK THE HANDSET SAYING THAT THEY HAVE RECTIFIED THE FAULT. BUT AGAIN ON USAGE I CAME TO KNOW THE SAME PROBLEM WAS OCCURING. AGAIN I GAVE TO THE NOKIA CARE ON 18-10-08. JOB SHEET NUMBER 089434038/081018/5.

WHEN THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE HANDSET IS READY I WENT TO NOKIA CARE AND CAME TO KNOW THAT THEY HAVE CHANGED THE MOTHER BOARD OF THE HANDSET. AND THIS MOTHER BOARD WAS NOT SUPPORTING THE
DEFAULT SOFTWARES WHICH WERE GIVEN IN THE SET BY NOKIA.

I INSISTED FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF HAND SET SINCE IT WAS HARDLY ONE MONTH I HAD PURCHASED THE HANDSET
WHICH WAS DEFECTIVE AND I WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE DEFECTIVE SET THOUGH THEY HAD CHANGED THE MOTHER BOARD BECAUSE IT WOULD COST ME EXTRA TO RE INSTALL THE SOFTWARES ONCE AGAIN. BUT THEY ARE NEITHER READY TO REPLACE THE HANDSET NOR GIVING ME THE INSTALLATION OF THE DEFAULT SOFTWARES. THE HANDSET IS STILL LYING WITH NOKIA CARE . THEY ARE WASTING MY TIME AND NO ONE IS TAKING THE RESPONSIBILITY TO SOLVE THE ISSUE.
