The Nokia E71 is one of the best selling Nokia smartphones of all time, as this S60 3rd Edition phone proves that corporate can be cool as well as business smart. What makes this device work is the mix of a great screen and a QWERTY jeypad that makes sending and receiving emails and messages a whole lot easier. However, what’s ticking away under the hood is just as important, so take a trip with us as we delve into the tech spec of the Nokia E71…

We love the Nokia E71, largely because it’s a mix of business and pleasure. Instantly noticeable is the generously sized QWERTY keypad placed neatly on its slimline frame. It’s perfect for emailing, and with a dummy proof set up its simple to get started.

The Nokia E71 also comes with a 3.2-Megapixel camera and GPS with full Nokia Maps 2.0 functionality, super fast Wi-Fi and HSDPA and support for MPEG-4, RealVideo and MP3, WMA and AAC+ music formats and more on the fun side of things. Overall, this phone is as must as anyone business user can handle and still get away with it as his main phone too.
