This month Ewan has been running around the Edinburgh Festival making recordings for his Fringe Podcast. To keep him in communication range (voice and Contacts), organised (Calendar) and on track (Nokia Maps) he's been using a Nokia E71. In this editorial he describes his E71 enabled Fringe experience.
Read on in the full article.
when i first got the e71 i was underwhelmed by the camera. the images were not as good as those from the e61i. however it was my bad as i hadn't pressed t to tell the phone to adjust it's focus. once i did that the images i was taking were much much better. adds time to the pictures but worth it for static items.
one thing i haven't worked out yet is how to make the default meetings i put into calendar not have an alarm. very annoying having to turn the alarm off for every meeting.
I wasn't aware that the calendar had improved so much in the latest E series devices. It has been the week point of Series 60 for a long time now which is bizare, given that Symbian evolved from EPOC - the king of the PDA.
It might be time to finally take another serious look at Symbian, especially with S60-touch just around the corner.
It seems the E71 is doing better at the Fringe than the E90... 😉
yes tzer2.
However strange it might sound, but it seems, e71 is doing a better job than e90 for ewan at the fringe!
Atleast, its getting him more admiring glances for his phone!!
Nokia will be very pleased with this feedback.
So is that to local way to spell it?

Ashu, yes the E71 definitely does look very good. I was unimpressed by the photos, but when you see it in real life it looks very good indeed, like some kind of futuristic ceramic object.
Andrew, sorry about the spelling mistake, it's now been corrected.
Great Review.... You have truly reflected the E71's business power. The E71 is symbian's long overdue decent QWERTY smartphone.
I personally appreciate the E71's battery, calendar, size, email, contacts, keyboard ...wsssh cannot stop praising , need to keep fingers still
