hi mike and everyone else who visits this blog.

i installed the Skyfire beta browser on my E71-2 and its quite nice how the page renders. However its still involves a lot of scrolling which is a pain. nokia should included an optical mouse like the samsung did on the innov8 or perhaps something better on their non-touchscreen smartphones for web browsing. its a bit fustrating being able to only move the mouse or pointer in right angles or sraight lines. One more issue with this browser that i have encountered is that if you are using a wifi connection OR cell network provider's service and then need to switch to your cell network provider service (in my case AT&T) or wifi it says something is wrong with the connection settings.

Hi all,

I just installed Nokia Conversations on my E71 and its pretty cool by the way it organizes messages according to contacts. but it appears that this application does not run in the background. If i attempt to open one of the messages in NC it takes me back to the the installation menu plus it does not have the the little circle icon on top of it. plus pressing the home key or the calender key closes the application. i used the s60 3rd edition feature pack 1 version from nokia beta labs. any suggestions?

thanks for all the help.

p.s. have you guys heard about the E72 and E75. i think the all black one that looks like the E71 would be cool. match up nicely with my black N82

Hi All

does anyone know if the E71 or nokia products with wifi are able to use the 5. something gigahertz spectrum that some wireless routers use? sometimes i want to use my bluetooth stereo headphones with the internet radio on the handset but i think bluetooth and wifi both use 2.4 ghz therefore it is difficult to maintain a stable connection. i am thinking about buying a dual mode router like one of apple's airport or something but i am not sure if my phone will work with it. and also is there anyway to fast forward and rewind with real player on nokia devices?

thanks for all the help.

Hi all

Is there anyway to remove an email box from the phone without reseting the device? also my notebook has integrated bluetooth and sometimes i use my stereo bluetooth headphones with the E71 or N82 and everytime my pc starts trying to connect to my phone. before i had just the N82 and the Nseries PCSuite installed and i never had this problem. but i installed Nokia PCSuite that came with the E71 and i have been having this problem ever since. Any solutions?

hi all

yesterday i went to chicago (about 50 miles away) and i decided to try out the turn by turn navigation using Nokia Maps on my E71 NAM. For comparision i also took along a Garmin navigation unit as well. Long story short the Garmin unit out performed Nokia Maps by leaps and bounds. The main problem with Nokia Maps was that it recalculated route too frequently. For example if the vehicle is at an intersection waiting for the light to change and it had previously told you to go straight for 9 miles (abritrary figure) before you got to that intersection it recalculates the route and it may tell you to turn left or right instead of going straight ahead as previously commanded. I think the problem is gps sensitivity. Meanwhile the Garmin displayed no such indecisiveness. And i thought that the E71 was going to come out on top because its using all this agps b.s. but i guess not. Maybe the N82 would have performed better. Oh well next time.

p.s. Almost forgot. The Garmin did not utilize an external antenna.

Re: E71 Recommended Accessory – JAVOedge Stereo Adapter

Just got the adapter and its great(stereo sound)!!! Thank you for this great post. I have been leaving my E71 at home and using my N82 because i did not have an adapter. Whats the expected life span of this adapter?

Hi all

i mainly use my n82 with sports tracker when i workout but last week the battery died and i decided to try out E71. It worked great but now i have one part of my workout on one device and the rest on another. I know that one solution to this might be to to upload the data from both phones to the sports tracker website but that method does not really appeal to me. Viewing the results on my phone is fine by me. Is there anyway to sync the information from both phones with out a computer? As far as i can tell there is no bluetooth option to transfer data for sports tracker.

thanks

I have a Nokia E71 and although i use my motorola S805 to listen to music from it sometimes i just want to plug my sony headphones in to save all the trouble of turning bluetooth on and off. Therefore this adapter does offer playback in stereo on the E71 right?

Oh i forgot. This next question is more about S60 in general. Is there anyway to change the font colour from black? Sometimes i have wallpapers that render the text in active standby screen unreadable because of the colour of said wallpaper.

thanks

hi all
there is just one thing i do not really like about the E71. And its the header or whatever you call it that tells you what application your in. For example "Personalization" or "text messages". I do not like how the last letters fade out. When i first saw it i thought something was wrong with the screen. But then i looked at video reviews from BGR and Mobileburn and their screens had the same format. I think the trailing dots would have been much better as on the N82. Or maybe all E series device use the fading format?

Re: RF Issues & The E71-2... Are You Having Similar Problems?

SARMM — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 01:06:56 -0000

Up here north of chicago i got no problems with RF signal on the E71-2. I went to a friend's house the other day in an area that i had experienced low signal or no signal indicators on previous AT&T branded handsets (LG & Samsung) that i have owned. In comparision the E71 never lost signal though it did go down to one bar. Impressive to say the least. And it handled the transition from 3G to EDGE and vice versa when i was using the internet and google maps very well as i went to and from the area. BTW mike i was thinking about buying a Nokia N810 to complement my E71. I tried one out at the Nokia Flagship Store in Chicago and thought it was pretty cool. What are your thoughts on this device?

thanks mike. that really worked!! for the past week i have been trying to figure how to get it to work. Another question. I got AT&T unlimited data plan which i pay $20 a month (think its called "Media Max 200") and since i have had the E71 i am approaching 1 gig of unlimited used. (youtube is addicting on the go especially with my 2 hr commute every day). Is there a limited to "unlimited", or at some point are they going to cut me off?

btw have you tried nokia email? its pretty neat.

hi mike,

This is a great blog and thanks for posting those themes since the original ones on the E71 are ugly. Anyway I was wondering if you have any information about full body protection kits for the E71. I have a full body kit from Invisible Shield/Zagg for my Nokia N82 Black and its really great. However the people @ Zagg told me when i called them that they consider the E71 a "hot" device but they need someone to send them a handset to create the prototype shield and all that. Have you had any experience with sending your devices for alteration and the state in which they return? Also i cannot install mobitubia on the E71. It says certificate expired.

thank you
