Great Little Phone
I have had this phone on contract for about 2 months now and all I can say is how much i love it. After owning various bulky phones that did everything but wash up (most of which features I rarely used), I decided this time I just wanted something to phone and text with, which looked good and didn't leave a massive bulge in my pocket. This phone certainly is nice to look at (I have the all black version which to me looks nicer than the chrome). It is small and slim so fits easily into my pockets. It is also very well made. It has a metal/hard plastic body that feel reassurringly heavy and should resist most of the knocks life throws at these things. The screen is bright and clear and automatically adjust to the ambient light levels. I should emphasise that this isn't the phone for the techies amongst you. It does have GPS and, if you have the contract to support it, A-GPS with navigation. Without A-GPS it can take 10 minutes to find your location. There are some fairly standard music and media players apps built in but I have an IPod for that sort of thing that works better than most phones. It doesn't have wi-fi but is a 3.5G phone but since I don't have a contract which includes a data tariff, I dont use that and so can't comment on how good the browser is. There is a nice 5MP camera but I have an 8MP so won't use that a lot either.In short, a nice looking, compact phone that will suit those of use who like using phones as phones.

Could be a great phone - but beware some have a known bluetooth fault
Bought this phone from T-Mobile as an upgrade from a Nokia 6300. The specification and quality of the phone is good, but beware as it appears from the Nokia forums that quite a few (including the one I bought) have shipped with a serious flaw relating to the Bluetooth system.

On my phone and the others described in the Nokia forums, when you try and switch on Bluetooth, the device reports it is switching on Bluetooth but then just goes into a loop until the red 'cancel' button is pressed and then it re-sets the phone. You don't lose any data and the phone is fine again in all respects other than Bluetooth, but this is a serious flaw.

I am in the process of getting the faulty phone swapped by T-Mobile and I hope the replacement won't have this flaw as otherwise the phone is really good. (It would be a definite 5-star if it wasn't for the Bluetooth flaw.)

What is good about the phone is:

(1) The HSPDA (10MBs a second if any phone provider could send data at that rate.) is really fast and makes using the built in Mini-Opera browser good to use. You wouldn't want to read something the size of War & Peace on it but for looking up travel connections or general internet surfing it is fine.

(2) The A-GPS is brilliant and Nokia maps is well matched with it. Unlike Google maps where you have to download data and thus run up expensive data roaming charges when abroad, with Nokia maps you can stick in a 8GB Micro SD card and download free the map for the whole of Europe or other parts of the world before you travel. When you fire up the GPS, you can tell it not to download any data and it will use your pre-installed map which costs you nothing.

(3) The 5MP camera takes quite good snaps for a phone. It won't replace your purpose built digicam, but if you need to take a snap and you haven't got your camera, the 6700 does a good job.

(4) Build quality feels solid and it has a nice feeling of substance being clad all in metal, but is slim enough to slip into a back pocket like the 6300. The shiny finish attracts finger-marks but they can be wiped off easily leaving it looking as good as new.

All in all, it is such a shame about the fatal 'Bluetooth' flaw, but maybe Nokia will get their act together and sort it out, as otherwise a potential shining star will an embarrassing flop.

Fabulous upgrade
As a recent owner of this, upgrading from my 6300 which I love, I'm so pleased I waited for the release of this phone.

The display does go into sleep quickly, which I think is a little odd to be fair, but not an inconvenience at all.

The display, sound and user menus are really quite excellent. Trouble is, as it's all chrome, I keep wiping my dirty fingerprints off the case. More a problem with my hands than the phone though.

Sitting side by side with my 6300 I can say that the keys on the 6700 are actually larger than the 6300. They are a different design, not being separate keys, but that's a case of getting used to it I suspect.

It's a great phone that does what a phone is supposed to do.

Impressive features on a budget friendly smartphone
I've had this phone for 3 months on contract, it's the exact same phone.

I was trying to reduce the number of gadgets to charge and have with me. I used to carry a mobile phone, a PDA (Dell Axim) and sometimes an iPod mini. This one thing has managed to replace them all without too much compromise.

For the features on offer and the slim profile of the phone, the battery life is really impressive. I get 2 days usage before requiring a recharge with 3G switched on with probably.
- checking mail around 10 times a day
- sending around 20 SMS's
- around 30mins to 1 hour talking per day
- using the web for around 2 hours
- listening to audio (podcasts and music) for around 2 hours per day
- checking calendar, around 30 mins per day

The headphone socket is 2.5mm which is a small pain, I bought a set of Seinheusers with a 2.5mm jack to solve this. I notice a background 'hiss' from the phone using headphones, I'm fairly sure it's the phone causing it and not the headphones, but can't be certain. Many other people reported the same problem via the web, it's not too bad when you get used to it. I notice that music from my iPod is far far cleaner and better to listen and appreciate music with. It's a trade off I made which I think was right for me but might not suit everyone. Recommend trying to listen to one if this sounds like a problem for yourself. The speaker is good and loud, I listen to music from it in the kitchen making food, it's good enough to hear over my pot banging and chopping!

The screen is bright and big enough to read. Yes I do sometimes which it was as pretty as the newer, larger screens on recent devices, however the display is really sharp and clear and probably contributes to the battery life.

Sound quality for phone calls is good. I haven't had too much experience of other phones, but I can hear callers perfectly well. In louder places, I have noticed I have to slightly press the phone to my ear to catch everything being said.

Navigation around menus is excellent. Nokia really thought hard and provided lots of little expert user shortcuts. For example, on the home screen I can type a name of a person and their contact name appears allowing a short leap from there to sending them an SMS, email, text, photo.

The camera is a much poorer affair. Low light pictures are poor, bright outside ones are OK. Anything inbetween is usually disappointing. For me, I only capture snaps for sending to the web or other phones, I wasn't too bothered about this but recommend watching it if you are used to good quality pictures from your phone.

As with all Symbian phones there is a strong software market which is easy to access. Much software is free, some more corporate based software obviously costs. I've found that the software provided on the phone really captures almost everything you'd want, however I installed a few packages which were all free from the Internet (Google maps, Fring, Opera Mini, Twibble, Smart Connect).

I added an 8Gb micro SD card to the phone for around £10 from Amazon which allowed me to fit around 50 CD's worth of music. I also have podcasts which download their music to the 8Gb card too, I've found this plenty of space to get by. Other higher capacity cards exist, but I haven't personally justified the extra cost of the bigger cards.

The keyboard takes a while to get used to. I had a Nokia 6300 before this model and yearned for the predictive features and numeric keypad. But I'm now much more used to this keyboard QWERTY layout. I would note that the E71 supports predictive entry which helps, but I find I have to use two thumbs to really speed out messages on it. The keyboard itself is really good quality, easy to use and forgiving when I press the edge of a key.

I am not a fan on the dust which has started to gather behind the screen. It's slightly distracting when the backlight goes off and you can see the dust, but it's a very minor quibble.

The GPS feature isn't a killer feature for me, but it's very useful. I rarely find myself wondering what's in the area because I frequent the same places. However it was handy on holiday trying to get around the area. I've also used it a few times to find a nearby coffee shop when I have time to spare.

The phone is very smim and fairly light, certainly when you consider the features in the phone it's very impressive.

This phone doesn't play back movies at a great quality, it's nearly good enough but not quite. The screen is too small to make this sensible, but that's not what I bought this phone for.

Applications have crashed perhaps in total around 10-15 times since I've had this phone. I don't think this is uncommon given all phones are increasing in their complexity. I couldn't rule out 3rd party apps I've installed being the cause. I just live with this and have come to tolerate this in these more complex devices.

I've not taken it abroad, but it is quad band meaning it should work in other countries.

This phone is my ideal package at the moment. I purchased this with a data package allowing me to use limitless Internet connectivity. I'd recommend doing the same to get the most from the phone.

If you note my negatives above (music hiss, camera not too great) and pick up the strong points (3G, Wifi, Bluetooth, lots of features in one device, 2 day battery, good UI) you should be very happy with this phone.

Also take a look at the E72, it loses a few features and has a lower price, I suspect it reviews similarly to the E71.

Unbelievable
This is without doubt not only one of the best phones Nokia have ever produced, but the best I have ever owned.
It is literally crammed with features, like support for Office documents, 3.5g (HSDPA), WiFi, Bluetooth, IrDA, GPS, a Sat Nav ap, 3.2mp camera with AF and Flash, full music playing software with support for 8gb Micro SDHC cards, QWERTY keyboard etc etc... the list really does go on.
The size of the thing is a source of confusion. Quite how they've managed to fit all this tech into a device less than 10mm thick is beyond me... Normally feature-rich smart phones of this type tend to drain the battery at a rapid rate, and particularly in a device this thin you might imagine that standby/talk time would be poor. But oh no, Nokia have managed to squeeze a 1500MaH battery into the E71, which gives it a real edge over other phones in this class. In light to moderate use, it will last 7-10 days. Heavy use of all the features will shorten this time to 4 or 5 days, which is still mightily impressive.
Overall, an inspired piece of technology, which every business user or consumer should have on their mobile phone wish list. Highly recommended!

Smartest buy ever.
My trusty IPAQ 6910 was nearing the end of it's life after 2 years of okayish service. The IPAQ did everything but nothing well, if you know what I mean.

I had decided that I was either going to go for an IPhone or the (at that time) new Nokia E71. I decided on the E71 due to the fact that it had a keypad and could therefore handle 'one handed texting'.

This has turned out to be the best decision of my life. This is an absolutely incredible bit of kit. It is loaded with features but is also really really easy to use. The mobile Internet is superb and hooking it up to a laptop to use as a 3G modem couldn't be easier. Battery life has proved to be excellent. The 3.2MP camera, speaker and recorder are all superb. It has also proven to be reliable with no faults or bugs. The screen isn't as big as the IPhone but it's perfectly adequate.

Unlike the IPAQ, this phone does everything well and in my opinion has few peers. As a business tool, it's streets ahead of the IPhone whilst still providing a host of leisure facilities.

Can't recommend this highly enough.

Older but wiser
One has to stop and think when it comes to choosing a mobile phone, especially theses days, with so many available. I've had most of the good phones on the market and still i haven't been able to settle on one particular brand, or style. You gotta start by asking yourself what you want it for, apart from the obvious - making calls. I have an iPod, so i won't be using the MP3 player on this phone, although it is a good one. I have a 10 MP digital camera, so the 2 MP snapper on this phone will never be used for anything other than comedy snaps, or capturing the moment. Still, the camera here is very functional. The results are above average, good for most people, and the flash is adequate, although it's no xenon flash. The keypad is comfortable to text on, unlike so many these days. The screen is very clear at 2.4". It has stereo bluetooth, 3D games support, 2 cameras (one for video calling), and 2 screens. It has stereo speakers which sound amazing when the phone rings, or when music is played without the earphones. It runs on a series 60 Symbian operating system and is a fully functional smart phone. It is one of the first N series mobile phones from Nokia but it has all the standard features that we all expect, but hardly ever use.
The build quality is pretty good, but i've seen better on Nokia phones. It's fashioned with metal and plastic.
I've found myself travelling backwards regarding mobile phones, opting for older models with more about them - the chunky/heavier ones appeal to me more than the wafer-thin delicacies of today. It does the job, serves its purpose well and gives me no trouble at all. It's quite rare to find one now as it's out of production. I got mine on here at £159, although it has increased since!? If you want a good phone with most of the standard features, you could do much worse than this. Also remember it's Nokia, and it's good to buy European products. We are afterall European. The choice is yours.

IT'S GOOD, BUT
I really wanted a good looking flip phone and when I saw this one I had to get it. Now, I can go on about how good it is, but it will just be me repeating what features it comes with. The downsides to having this phone are that it is very slow when you are trying to use the features as I find with most Nokias and also the memory card campartment at the back of the phone comes open when its caught and that 'sort of' resets itself, annoying, but a really nice looking phone nonetheless.
