Product Review : Nokia E71

I waited a few days before writing this review to make sure my comments are accurate. I did get this new baby the day after I first blogged about wanting to get it. I've used it non-stop ever since and I guess the 4-star rating says it all. I want to give it 5 start but that won't be realistic =)

Overall...I'd say this is a really good phone to invest in. The tag price of Php 19,000 is not too steep considering these factors : aesthetics, features and user experience in general. The only thing I had a difficult time adjusting to was the Qwerty keyboard but that was not a major problem. I was texting like crazy on day 2 or 3. 

I have no problem surfing when I'm out and Neal was easily able to configure both my personal and work email addresses into the phone. 

It really is like having your very own Blackberry at half the price. 

I don't regret getting it at all! (But I do miss my Nokia N82's 5mp camera. The E71's camera is only 3.2mp)

I love Nokia!

After using a Sony Ericsson and a Samsung, I'm proud to say...I'm now back to my first love! I've always been a Nokia user. My first ever cellphone from Smart was a Nokia (forgot the model --- aackkk, that was ages ago!). I've also tried using a Motorola and an O2 PDA but although I wasn't entirely disappointed with these other brands, I would miss Nokia's user friendliness from time to time.

My SE K800i conked out on me after just a few months of use. Weird because all the other people I know who have this phone haven't had this kind of problem. I was actually happy with its features and got used to texting with it in no time. But it became too much of a problem for me eventually so I decided to get it fixed so I could sell it. It was DH who suggested that I get one of the newer Nokia models.

I'm not very particular about models. I don't have to have the really high-end ones. As long as it has a camera, I'm fine with it. And this time was no exception, I still didn't want to spend a single cent on a new phone. I wanted to either trade-in my K800i or sell it and then use the money to get a new unit.

Thankfully, DH still has a lot of contacts in Greenhills from his Globe Telecom days so we were able to find a buyer in no time. I ended up getting the Nokia 6300, upon DH's recommendation. And I must say, I love love love it!!! It's sleek and light, fits right into my jean pocket. I don't really like big phones, no matter how nice they look. This one's really perfect for me. =)

Nothing beats Nokia, I'm glad I made the switch back =)

P.S.
Another thing I love about this phone is the fact that it comes with a leather pouch hee hee!
