Nokia E71 - My Review and Comparison to E61i

Now I guess you know I like gadgets being a geek and all, and I always liked the look of the Nokia E61 with it's big screen for surfing...but it was ugly as hell.

Thankfully Nokia updated and came out with the Nokia E61i with a camera (albeit a basic one) and a funky new full metal body which was sexy as hell. I grabbed myself a Nokia E61i back in May last year.

I have to say I've been really happy with the phone, it's tough and it just works. It has been getting a bit sluggish lately but I have filled it up with stuff and it's took a bit of a battering.

So recently Nokia announced a new update to the family, the far sexier and slimmer Nokia E71. It dead leak a fair while before that, but you can never believe those dodgy prototype photos.

The specs are pretty impressive, it has an updated camera (with Autofocus!) and it has GPS, finally I have less excuse to get completely lost now. It's available in Grey Steel and White Steel, I of course opted for the far more manly Grey version...the white one looks a bit Apple-fanboi-ish.
