I bought a new phone – Nokia E71

I know I’ve been slacking lately on my post.. but hey, I got myself a new phone – The Nokia E71!

Phones model and features are getting diverse now and I’ve noticed that its getting harder and harder to choose a phone that really suits my needs. For example, one feature found on Phone A isnt necessarily can be found on Phone B.

So it took me a while to replace my good old 6630 that has been stolen few months before. But hey, I’m back on my feet now.

Among the key feature that attract me to buy this phone are :

  • Location API support (JSR-179) with built in GPS receiver
  • QWERTY keyboard
  • Ease of handling, my hands a bit slippy on its sister’s phone E66
  • Battery last longer
  • Hot swappable micro-sd card
  • More than adequate internal memory
  • \

  • Supports WiFi

The only drawback that I could think of this phone is its camera that is not as good as the N95,N96 series phone. But I can still live with that since I rarely use the camera anyway.

Other additional feature
The phone comes with Advance Call Manager and Multi Scanner free of charge, making it easier to filter out unwanted call and to manage phone blacklist.

Multi Scanner allows you to take a photo of name card and automatically store important information (Name, Phone Number, Address, Company’s Name, Fax Number) right into the phone.

I hope I can be more productive at updating this blog and producing new mobile applications with this phone.
