Hi all,
As i have said initially when this was announced the screen size and Keyboard where really what worried me about this device. The keyboard although it is really small is just about if not the best i have used on any device and that really surprised me.
It is just so easy and fast to type with i have not had one mistype on it in 48 hours it's just so tactile. The next thing is the screen and whilst obviously it's much smaller than the E90 it really is very bright and clear. I always have brightness turned to Max and Font size to large and it is really easy to read and doesn't require as much scrolling as you would think.
I have even watched a program via the BBC iPlayer on it and the quality was great, using the Web does require more scrolling than my E90 but then what doesn't.
Those were just my first impressions and i really need to use it for a few days more before reporting on all the other great features it has.
But already i have decided i am no longer interested in the BB Bold or Thunder and will definitely be getting a E71 on my upgrade in a couple of months. The question is will i keep my E90 with it or sell the E90 and take the hit on Multimedia.
I really can't say enough the pictures just don't do it justice you need to have one in your hand to appreciate just how slim and sleek it is. It exudes quality and has the best build quality of any device i have used really a great job done by Nokia on this one.

I should have said earlier, thanks for the review!
You've got a window in messaging which shows Yahoo and Hotmail, can the E71 connect directly to these systems and if so can it be set to automatically poll them or are they simply apps to go to the mail?
Play have the E71 black at 300 which is tempting, I really like the look of the E51 which is about 190 and would slip better into a pocket but no qwerty.

Hi John,
Although the E71 comes with both Windows Live and YahooGo3 that's not what i am using i am using Seven which sets it up like that in the messages app.
Seven is my preferred Push E-Mail service especially as so far it hasn't cost me a penny the free Beta has been running for ages. But when it does end i believe it is about £65 per year and i will be happy to pay that. Which i think is cheaper than using BIS on a BB. As i already get 500mb of Data included in my price plan from VodaFone which covers my Web and Mail use when away from WiFi.

Hi all
Of course i will try and answer as many questions as i can but i need some time to use them all.
So far today i used the Camera and i must say it was very easy to use you press the T key to focus and then press the D-Pad to take the picture, here are the results.
All of these where taken just by pointing and pressing the T key to focus and then the D-Pad to take the picture all the settings where left on Auto.

Not that it would bother me too much but the processing on most of those photos looks awful, the metering seems to be quite a lot out and the WB seems questionable as well especially in that last shot.

That is a shame as that was one of the things i would like to be decent. Can you maybe do a comparison shot with the E90 as i liked the camera on that. Thanks for a great review as well Marc.

EXCELLENT REVIEW!
This quote above just answered most of my questions - and the price you listed (free beta now, roughly $65lbs - US keyboard settings sorry) REALLY makes me reconsider getting a Blackberry for personal use (I'll have one for work by the end of July). It seems that it integrates into the OEM Email app, am I correct in this assessment?
In the above photo, what are those folders near the top right corner?! Is it for different Email folders, or different Email accounts??
Last Q for today - does the E71 have Stereo speakers or Mono Speakers?? Early Nokia press stated mono. I gotta be sure on this one.

There is a bit of purple fringing (tint) in the photos ... you don't notice it in the first one, but the others its there.
