Over at E71 Fanatics, Mike Macias has compared his beloved to the new kid on the block, the N97.

Packed with images of the two side by side (and on top of each other), Mike’s post explores the similarities and differences in topics such as typing, OS and browsing. It’s a well-balanced, unbiased look at the capabilities of both devices, and well worth a read for anyone wondering whether to head down the E- or NSeries path.

E71 experience

KingJ has written a review of a recently purchased E71 that has left him very impressed, stating that ‘it does everything I want’. As well as its functionality in synching contacts, calendar and email with his Exchange server, KingJ also writes of the benefits of the web browser which is ‘fast and renders pages well’. Despite occasional device lockups, he is nonetheless ‘extremely pleased’ with the device. Another satisfied customer!

If you’re an E71 user, why not head over and share your thoughts with KingJ.

TomH — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 10:29:31 +0000

Now boasting v300.21.012, the Eseries devices have got a firmware update in the last 24 hours. Reported widely (as ever) across the space, among those to carry news of the update are All About Symbian’s Rafe, and Apoc over at Symbian Freak.

BBC iPlayer comes to N95 8GB and E71

TomH — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:06:14 +0000

Steve Litchfield from All About Symbian has posted letting readers know that the iPlayer application will now work on some further Nokia devices.

He explains the ’slight tweaks’ that have been made - some tab rearrangment and layout changes - and goes on to say that the .sisx file will only work on the N95, N95 8GB and E71. He advises going to the BBC site which will provide the most suitable version for your device.

Even if you can’t understand what Rodrigo Stoledo is saying in his post (it’s in ~~Spanish~~ Portuguese [my bad!]), you can bask in the glory of his Flickr slide show of images showing the N97…but which also features the E71 as a comparison and includes beauties such as the image below.

Eseries love

TomH — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 14:33:54 +0000

Couple of Eseries devices feeling the love today, for very different reasons.

Veronneca can’t get enough of her E75, and finds it ‘amazing’ that she can update her blog wirelessly in an airport from a mobile (especially when the chap next to her is struggling with a bulky laptop).

freshmess is also packing an Eseries, this time the E71, and has taken some sample images which are getting some very positive responses in the comment stream.

E63 may be cheap, but it’s very cheerful

TomH — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 12:13:27 +0000

Cars Autos has posted about the E63 on the Mobile News Review site and says that even though he has moved back to the E71, he still misses the chubbier sibling.

‘Reserved and quiet’ next to the ‘classier’ E71, the E63 maintains all the features whilst simply being made differently. Cars discusses similarities and differences, concluding that it fits well within the Eseries, being ‘one serious business device’.

Do you agree? Is the E63 a ‘toy’ compared to the E71? Jump over and share your views.

An aspiring writer has published an article about how certain tools have enabled him to make his creative output ‘quicker, slicker, and better than without’. Jonathan L. Lawrence describes his purchase of an E71 as ‘a revelation’. Basic features like notes, voice recorder and camera - as well as the ability to handle documents from his computer (through Quickoffice) - have ’simplified’ his life no end.

There’s a nice discussion about the E71 taking place over on Symbian Freak forum.

One of the key benefits highlighted by users on the thread is that the E71 has S60 3rd FP2 (the modes feature, which allows custom desktops being cited as a favorite!) MichaelSF believes the E71 is ‘one of the best Nokia Devices around…very good hardware quality, slim device with lots of Potential and fantastic Battery Life”.
