Nokia E71-2 White

Finally, my fourth (hopefully last) device after My Bad Experience with Nokia E71-2 and I am now ready for a review on my experience on the phone. Yesterday was the last day I could get a brand new replacement since it was the 14th day from my original date of purchase. If I get anymore problems I can only get a 'swap' phone in the store with just an unused phone alone and nothing else.

First thing I want to say is, I love this phone. I wouldn't go through all that trouble exchanging if it wasn't worth it. I will post pictures to show from its hardware, accessories and softwares. A lot of reviews are posted already so i'm not going to go into details but rather just point out the ones I really like about the phone.

Package Contents:

- Nokia E71

- Nokia battery (BP-4L - Li-Po 1500 mAh)

- Nokia charger (AC-5)

- Nokia connectivity cable (CA-101)

- Nokia headset (HS-47)

- Nokia Eseries lanyard

- Nokia Eseries pouch

- User Guide, Quick Start Guide, other documentation

- No micro sd included :(

Hardware:

The built quality of the phone is superb with its stainless steel cover although i've read that the front cover is a chrome-plated plastic only.

Volume keys and voice key to mute/unmute active calls and for voice commands.

Micro usb port.

The keys are really smooth and soft and not hard to get used to although if you have big fingers you'll might have a hard time.

Camera isn't that great compared to the Nseries but it's good enough to take daily pictures.

Stainless steel back cover.

Accessories:

I like the pouch and the wrist strap that it comes with in red suede finish inside.

It comes with a 2.5mm audio jack so i'll be getting an adapter because there's no way i'm using the headset that comes with it. :P

One of the reasons why I bought this phone is its battery with 1500 mAh capacity. I'm online 24/7, my emails on automatic retrieval (using Profimail) and browsing a lot and I charge the phone the next day.
