Nokia E71

Does anyone have any news on the Nokia E71 and its release date in the UK?
I am currently an iPhone user, but with the 3G iPhone about to hit the shelves, I am surveying my options as to go with that or go back to a Nokia which I have always used. Don't get me wrong, the iPhone is a great phone, but past the glossy PR exterior, it does lack Nokia sophistication.
I am a business phone user and the e61 and e61i did fit my needs much better, just without the 'wow' factor the iPhone offers.
Do you think the e71 will bridge this gap?
(also anyone know about Good Mobile Messaging compatibility with e71?)

Looks like its almost ready for prime time.

  • Nokia E71 Calendar Memos across multiple days

    Hello,
    I recently got a German Nokia E71
    (E71-1 Software Version: 100.07.76 08-06-2008).
    I noticed a strange behavior of the calendar:
    When I create a memo that goes across multiple days (lets say 10 days or 14 days) In Month view the memo is shown correctly for the set time. Also when synchronizing with MS Outlook the memo is shown correctly on the PC.
    But when you open the Memo directly (open day view, select the memo and press the center of the nav-key) then the memo is displayed to last one day longer than originally specified.
    For example I created a memo that should end on the 11th of September (actually it starts in August so maybe spanning the Month barrier may also cause the problem) but it is shown to end on September 12th when I open it. Although it is shown correctly in Month view (shown on 11-Sept, not shown on 12-sept).
    Maybe you have similar experiences?
    Or an explanation for that behavior?
    Thanks and regards,
    Sebastian

    I think I'm experiencing the same thing, Sebastian.
    Phone: E71 bough from 3 in the UK ~20months ago.
    Firmware: 100.07.76 08-06-2008 RM-346 E71-1 (241.02)
    Here's how it happens:
    Step 1)  I create a memo on the calendar with the phone.
    Step 2)  I do an Ovi sync over the air (i.e. there is no use of the PC Suite or Microsoft Outlook going on).
    Step 3)  Some (but not all) of my single day memos are spread over two (2) days.
    How it should look when correct: http://tinyurl.com/ovi-cal-memo-right
    How it actually looks when wrong: http://tinyurl.com/ovi-cal-memo-wrong
    As you can see in the 'wrong' example, instead of memos showing up as lasting for 1 day duration it's apparently "23 hours, 59 minutes" in duration, and ends on 18/07/2011.  And yet it's spread over the 18th and 19th on the month view.  The correct date (as entered and displayed on my phone) is actually the 19th!  The same goes for all those other 'wrong 2-day memos': they should all only be shown on the second of the two day bar that's visible in month view.
    At the moment, for some unknown reason, the problem seems confined to April-October of this year (and subsequent and prior years) and dates are stretched back by a day so they appear on the web version of the Ovi calendar as lasting for two (2) days instead of one (1).  But I think that the problem has been more widespread and across-the-board in the past, and it may have put dates forward by an aditional day (although I can't be sure on that.
    Thankfully, all these memos remain as correct on the phone and seem to be unaffected by the sync.
    When it first happened I made an attempt to correct the Ovi Web Calendar memo sync problem before (thinking it was a once only bug) by going through all the Ovi calendar entries on the web interface and tidying things up that way.  But I'm not prepared to go through all that hassle again.
    It's a real niggle, to say the least.
    What can be done?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi All,
    I have recently brought a HP Photosmart C4788 All in One printer which is a Wi-fi printer. I have configured the same in my pc through a Netgear Wi-fi Adapter and its working fine with my pc. Now i want to know if i can use my Nokia E71 to fire prints through Wi-fi to my printer. Can anyone please let me know how to configure the above printer on my Nokia E71 step wise.
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Regards,

    Check the manual for these settings.
    Open Menu-> office-> printers-> options-> add-> driver-> HP mobile, bearer-> socket, accesspoint-> your AP, host-> IP of printer, port-> 9100, printer model-> photo smart printers. Make sure that antivirus and firewall accept the connection.

  • Lack of My Folder support for Nokia E71, even in n...

    With my 6230i PC suite allowed me to see and manage folders and messages under My Folders. Now with my spanking new E71 it doesn't. Not only does it not let me manage them but I cannot even view their contents. This is not even supported with the latest Beta version of Nokia Communication Centre (Version 2.0). This is surely a major step backwards? Some problems
    - Messages on my 6230i under My folders did not restore to the E71 and I have found no way to get them across. The 6230i does not let me move them back to the Inbox.
    - Copy and paste between phones is not possible
    - If you right clicked Inbox in Nokia Communication Centre 1.0 a New folder option appeared. This did not work. The solution in the new version appears to be to remove the option altogether.

    HI,
    One option may be, you can copy the 6230i messages to the PC and then paste that in Nokia e71. Hope it may help you

  • Nokia E71 Fading Text On Display

    Hello Nokia Owners,
    Hopefully someone has seen this issue and have an easy fix, as I'm frustrated about this oddball occurrence. I'm wondering if there's a QA/QC issue at hand where these are being manufactured?
    Within the past 6 days, I've purchased 2 brand new Nokia E71 phones from 2 different Walmart stores, 30 mins of each other.  These are phones for the Straight Talk prepaid service. I have not yet activated the phones on ST, as my goal is to first test the basic functionality to determine if it's worth the $200 and will satisfy my needs.
    What's happening on both phones, in the same exact manner and location on the phone, is that the menu title name for some menus have fading text. It appears as though there's a display issue. I've attached some screenshots to make it easy to see what I'm experiencing.
    However, when I've tested playing the included videos in the phone at full screen, it appears to play the videos through the menu title name area with no fading. The same goes for looking at images - I do not see any fading with the included images in that area.
    I have done a Soft Reset on both phones using the *# option and from the "Factory Reset" option in the menu. This has not resolved it on either phone.  I have also changed themes, changed menu colors, changed the font size, none of which has resolved this.
    Thus far, I've returned one phone to Walmart and ready to return the next one now due to this issue. I'm willing to try a 3rd but that's where my limit is. I really like this phone and want it, but if this issue is indicative of a fully dead or fading display after a short period of use, I will not make the investment.
    Any help is most appreciated.

    When trying to unlock the keypad using the standard two keys, the screen went blank then on, blank then on (consistently, like a flicker motion) with every key I hit to unlock. (I initially hit the incorrect keys to unlock the keypad.)
    Short answer: I don't know.  Other phones (the E52 and maybe the E5) have issues with the display lighting at odd times as the keyboard lock or phone lock activates (not typically when it deactivates).  So it could be a firmware issue.  But it could have also been a bad phone.
    AdriaticBlue wrote: 
    By any chance, have you performed a software update on your E73? That's the only step I have not taken, as it appears I need to activate the phone on service to do any software updates via TracFone.  I can (and have) tested the E71 on my WIFI connection which works great, but I cannot invoke a software update via WIFI.
    Mmm, you could try Nokia's Ovi Suite or Software Updater software for Windows.  Instead of downloading a small patch file, you'd be downloading a complete 50 MB+ firmware file instead.  You might see a message that no updates are available, but it would be worth a try.
    But something to understand about Nokia phones: they're all different.  You can have two phones with the same OS, released within months of each other (my T-Mobile E73 is very similar to the E72) and have very different issues.  Maybe they each get firmware releases at nearly the same time, and one update fixes a bug while the other includes the bug.  (I'm  exaggerating a little, but you get my point.)  The E71 is a feature pack 1 phone while the E72/E73 are feature pack 2, so while the phones share lots of surface features, their guts are often quite different.  For example, I get the impression that Nokia made substantial changes to the hardware drivers from FP1 to FP2, but not always for the better.  I have done several software updates to my phone, but have never seen the problem you described.  Hopefully it stays that way.

  • Connecting laptop to nokia E71

    Hi i just got a Nokia E71 from straight talk i was wandering if i could use it to connect my laptop to the internet if so how can i do that. I have downloaded  pc suite on my computer but its having trouble connecting to the internet. Thanks in advance for the help

    Hi, check out this tutorial first to make sure you do it the correct way: http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/pc-suites/how-to/connect-to-the-web
    If your device is brand new, I would check that you have the right internet acces point settings installed in your device. If you are missing internett and mms settings, you should usually be able to get them from your service providers internet site. If you cannot find it there, give them a call.
    You will have to connect using your service providers net on your phone, beware of that if you don't have a surf plan, I would check out the costs.

  • Nokia E71: Messaging Button and Name and Date Form...

    Two questions:
    1. When in stand-by mode and I click on the Messaging button, it always directs me to my e-mail. I would like to set it as such that it will go to my Inbox, instead.
    2. Is there a name separator I can use? On my inbox, the name format is "Last Name First Name". Is there a way I can change it to "Last Name, First Name" or much better would be "First Name Last Name"?
    3. Lastly, I prefer my dates with the months spelled out, like "15 Nov 2008" instead of "15.11.08" It works for older Nokia models, like my brother's phone. Where can I set this for my new E71?

    1: Menu -> Tools -> Settings -> General -> Personalisation -> One-touch Keys and change it from there. there are different options for short presses and long presses.
    2: I think you need to get your contacts organised which in turn will organise your inbox! Go to your contacts -> Options -> Settings -> Name Display....
    3: Can't help you with number 3 since they dont seem to have the ability to have the name of the month displayed, just the number of it. Maybe someone else knows how its done. Good luck to you.

  • NOKIA E71 "malbox' in use error message cannot sen...

    Hi,
    I have a Nokia E71 and cannot send emails from the gmail or pop 3 accounts set up on the device.
    I can recieve emails and I know the settings are correct for the incoming and outgoing servers.
    A google search has shown a number of people had this problem but I can't see any solutions.
    An hour on the phone to Nokia care resulted in checking I have the correct system software on the phone ( I do).
    Can any one help this problem?

    Sometimes, internet service providers block access to any SMTP servers but their own over their networks. If you are sending via mobile internet then that could be the problem, try with your network operator's SMTP server (I have two mailboxes set up on my phone, one using my ISP's SMTP for when I connect via WLAN and one using the Proximus server for when I use GPRS/3G).

    where is torch button in Nokia e71
    please tell an application
    which has torch function and which doesn't play screen, it should able to start flash torch on nokia e71

    Most of the apps in the Nokia Store seem to just use the phone screen rather than the flash, which doesn't tend to be a lot of good, still better than nothing and there are a couple of free ones !

  • Nokia E71 hard reset and then....

    Hi community, what happens is i perform a hard reset on my nokia e71, will i lost some software (that originally came with the phone)? or everything remains the same as when i bought it brand new?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    @ Smorrissey, if I understand you correctly, then we agree that grschinon is the one beeing correct here.
    @ Other users who search for help in this thread: Oposum is beeing a troll and should not be paid attention to. (I assume that oposum is refering to the "reset settings to factory default" manouver which would be *#7780# )...
    people please understand, a sofware reset is provoked by software, a hardware reset is by hardware BOTH restore your phone to the brand new status.
    If you only want to restore your settings the procedure is different.
    Grschinon has already explained that in the posts above.

  • GPS navigator on nokia e71 which one is working?

    Hello, I'd like to install a gps navigator on the nokia e71, do you have any suggestions apart from the Nokia maps? I read that Sygic is working on Nokia, do you know a bit more about it? What about licenses, try periods etc? do I have to pay a licence or to download maps with these kind of programs?
    Thanks very much.
    Pippobaudo

    I've been using Route 66 for over a year now on my E71 and find it the most stable and usable of all. Tried nokia maps, google maps, Tom Tom, Papago, Mapking etc...
    You can download it from here:
    http://www.66.com/static_media/updates/mobile8_s60/M8_S60_Update_8.0.18990.exe
    The application itself it free but you need to purchase the maps. The maps don't expire, but the traffic info, traffic cameras and weather are subscription based and optional.
    Install the application on your memory card, you can either connect your E71 via USB or it's faster to put your micro SD card in a reader and install it from there.
    Maps can be purchased directly via the application on the phone or you can download the Route 66 Sync (PC only) and do it from there.
    You have the option to use R66 without data usage (HDSPA/GPRS) using the E71 internal GPS, I also successfully tried with an external CIRF III GPS module but doesn't make much difference.
    You can however get faster fixes if you also enable "network based" and "assisted GPS" in the E71 phone settings (tools/settings/general/positioning/positioning methods)
    Mind you that this will use a minimal amount of data usage for every fix e.g. when starting up R66.
    But it has the advantage to continue the map scrolling when in tunnels by extraolating it's position using cell sites.
    Good luck.

  • Nokia e71 New messages not showing in inbox

    I recently updated my nokia e71 with the new software from pc suite, everything went fine but i recieved around 3 messages just after I had restored all my data onto it, I went into the inbox to read them but its showing no new messages. On the message menu my Inbox logo has a read star indicating it has new messages but they are not showing up, its also saying I have 4 unread messages when I synchronise my phone to my pc yet I cant read them via the pc. Help please!!
    (Ive reset, restored to factory settings & rung nokia support with no help)
    Message Edited by beckuhgreaves on 19-Jan-2010 04:21 PM

    If you have a memory card, check to see if the phone is still storing messages in the same place. Example, if the phone is currently set to store messages on the phone memory, switch it to the memory card and see if the messages then show up.
    If I have helped you with your problem in some way, please take a little time and hit the kudos button in my post. Without your feedback, I don't know if I am being helpful or should just be put out to pasture.

  • Nokia E71 Questions - 3G and GPS - URGENT PLEASE R...

    Hi everyone! Hope you are doing well. I am a big noobie when it comes to phone services.
    I am planning to buy an unlocked Nokia E71. My service provider is AT&T. I am currently using a Sony Ericsson w580i and I use the MediaNet data plan. However, I know the Nokia E71 is 3G capable.
    My question is: Once I buy my Nokia E71:
    1) How do I enable it for 3G? Is there a seperate service I have to pay monthly like MediaNet to get the speeds of 3G? How do I suscribe to the 3G service on AT&T?
    2) Does Google Maps on the E71 give the exact location of me? My w580i only gives me an "accurate" location within 1100 meters, which is totally not good enough for me.
    That would be all! Thanks everyone

    I have AT&T with an old Cingular SIM card.  I popped it into my E71 and it works just fine.   I can set the phone to UMTS (3g) and it will connect and use it just fine for phones and data.  Though for data it appears (to me) to go slow like it's still using Edge for data.  I might need to go in and get a new SIM card meant for a 3G device to get actual 3G speeds.  But right now it is not a big deal for me.
    3G is not a seperate service to pay for.  If you use it for voice then you don't need to do anything more.  Though for data.. like me.. you might need to get a newer 3G sim card to see its full speed potential. Be warned that you will need to get a data package (not the standard Pay Per Use). PPU will get $$$ very fast.  It is considered a smart phone and will cost like 29.99 for the unlimited data plan.  Though since AT&T doesn't have the E71 yet you can sneak by with the unlimited medianet option for 19.99.  Though if you use too much data AT&T might notice it and take the medianet option off without telling you and stick you on the pay per use plan which will cause your bill to be very $$$.
    I have used google maps and it plays just fine with the internal GPS (you WILL need a data connection to use gmaps!)  I think it has said it has locked on to within 20meters for me.  I havnt used it in a while but I think that's the closest its got.
    Another option is the builtin Nokia Maps.  Not as user friendly in my opinion. But at least you can download maps to a memory card and not have to worry about using data all the time.
    Hope this rambling helps.

    Does anyone know whether the Nokia E71 can be configured to use both the Outlook and Gmail? So far I conifgured my work's outlook email account with the use of the Mail for Exchange however I would also like to easily read gmail emails in the same way rather than every time having to go to gmail website.

    Go to Menu > comm > messaging > optons > settings > email > options > new mailbox.
    From tere all you have to do is key in your user name and password the phone will configre the Gmail account automatically.

  • Nokia E71- Sounds Cuts Out in Videos?

    When I record videos using my Nokia E71, during playback the sound will cut out half way through as if it's been muted, but the video keeps playing. It doesn't cut out at the same time in each video, just randomly..and sometimes it doesn't cut out at all
    How can I fix this? Am I accidentally pressing a button during recording it?  Help, please!

    The first comment in the following thread has a possible solution (hint: Backup your data, then reset the phone or take it to the Nokia Care Center).
