    Aatif,
    I have NEVER EVER won anything in my entire life, and winning 2 phones in such a short time was totally unexpected. Anyway, I still haven’t received any of them, so I am still stuck with my poor built N95.

    I do agree that the size of the E90 did “scare” me away.
    At school I sometimes don’t take with me my laptop and writing meeting reviews (from social activities) in QuickOffice is quite a pain with the N82

    Looking how small the E71 is, it is really tempting to start taking a look on the E series.
    What I’ve liked with the Nokia’s smartphones is that it more or less can replace the laptop something which I do like.
    (There are after all not very much you can’t do on these devices)

    @Dotsisx
    It was about time to win something then >_<
    I too don’t win much in my life, but I have the excuse of “winning in life”, I say.
    (Been through almost accidents, and coming alive from it)

    I do have won a phone. And that was during Telenor’s campaign seeking beta tester for their services. In which I won a N73.
    I’ve been quite addicted to the S60v3 since then.
    (Even though Symbian devices have been my main mobile handset since the N-gage Classic).

    You know have some of the best phones from N- and E-series and I do feel that you deserve it.
    It will also provide us with want you think of the devices, something that is good information for people reading the website.

    All in all. I would say it’s a win-win situation.

    I’m now in the phase “where can I buy it now ?”, and I was curious about something.
    On QWERTY keyboards there’s no accented characters printed on the keys (é,è,à,ä…those of you writing in french or german will understand ;)), so how does one write these characters ? Do you have to use the chr/symbols software menu to get them ?

    This is the only thing making me think about choosing either an AZERTY or QWERTY keypad model….please help…

    Guys, if I buy an English E71 how can I convert it to Arabic. I don’t wanna buy the Arabic one because of the keyboard (hardly visible blue English letters).

    @ Ali, you can buy the Arabic version mobile than purchase the English only keyboard/keypad separately and replace it with the Arabic and English one : )
    so this way u will be able to use the Arabic and wont get bothered by the Arabic letters on the keyboard/keypad.

    Just bought it yesterday… Loving it. It is the best phone I have ever had. Fast, small, smart. You name it. I picked black color which is more suitable for men.

    Hi, I recently bought a E71 in Australia but it didn’t come with the dictionary. Where can I download the dictionary that was supposed to come with my mobile without having to pay for it?

    I’m thinking of getting a E71 and comparing against the iPhone and Bold

    One of the great things about the iPhone is that (once set-up) it will seamlessly flip from using wifi comms to mobile provider comms. So I sit in the garden looking at a site or two on the net and it is using my wifi link. I walk off and it automatically then moves to mobile comms to get web pages without me having to do a thing – nothing. And when I wander back it picks up the wifi and starts using that again. Can the E71 do this?

    The reason I ask is that I have a Nokia E61 and this will not do the above. I have to endlessly click and do stuff to swap – and even to just pick up email it seems to want to keep asking me what comms to use. Very annoying. There is a third party app (Psiloc Connect) to help correct this but while some speak most highly of it others have problems. Anyway I would I’d prefer a phone (like the iPhone) which does the right thing out of the box really.

    I do appreciate with the advent of 3G that wifi is not so vital perhaps but I do use my mobile device around the house a lot and I don’t want to be eating into my ‘all I can eat’ mobile data allowance – which is actually capped and expensive if I were to go above.

    Thanks for your help
