Camera Phones Plaza

When the first Walkman appeared, Sony has changed the way you listen to music. We now have our favorite music with us all the time. I do not know who had the idea to put a music player on a phone, but all Sony had to say was "it is not enough to have five mp3's" and launched the first phone - Walkman W800i.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

With enough memory for music, with a good player and some headphones to match, you do not need to carry two devices when you leave your home because the phone makes them all. All major producers have seen the potential of mobile music and created special editions. Nokia is no exception to the classic series.

Nokia 5610 comes in a box that looks very good. Besides the phone, the box also contains a software CD, a charger, the USB cable and the headphones. The phone is available in two colors, blue and red. It looks great and it is solid. The fingerprints remain quickly on the glossy screen, but this happens to many phones and it is not a critical problem. I did not like the main keys very much, the ones under the screen, because they must be pressed very hard. The number keys are easier to press and are more accurate.

The back of the phone is made of a less common material, slightly abrasive. It will be harder to drop it. However, the camera is very fragile, and can be scratched easily. I do not realize how easily it can be replaced if scratched. The charger plug and the microUSB slot are on the top of the phone. I noticed that Nokia started to put these plugs on the top for some phones and it still seems awkward. For some of the phones they even removed the charger plug, and we must use the microUSB port for this purpose. Nokia 5610 cannot be recharged through the microUSB. Also on the top side, we found a headphone jack, this has only 2.5 mm. As most headphones have a 3.5 mm audio jack, the phone comes with an adapter. Also on the adapter, we find a microphone. If you do not like the standard headphones, you can use yours, together with the same adapter.

I noticed something new to this phone, the NaviSlide key. The key that is just below the screen and can move left - right. Its main role is in the music player, and it has the "back" function in the menus.

Although we criticized the screen for being glossy and fingerprints can be easily noticed on it, when it comes to image quality it must be praised. It has a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, comparable to a larger screen. With this resolution and the size of 2.2 inches, the clarity is very good. It is OK even in direct sunlight and the phone can be used without problems.

The menus are easy to use, in the Nokia style. The software is the well-known S40, which reached version 5. The new version is found currently only on some Nokia phones, such as the 6500 classic and 6500 slide.

The new part for me was when I wanted to send an MMS. I was stuck for a couple of seconds, because the only option in the messaging menu is "new message". What type of message? I found out when I got there. The default is SMS, and if you add a picture in it, it turns into MMS. I find it very cleverly. It greatly simplifies things for less technical users. We saw when we began to write a message, that you could force its type (SMS / MMS).

Nokia 5610 is a phone designed for multimedia, especially music. You will not be disappointed, but you will not be delighted either. For music, the phone is super OK. The player works OK, and the sound quality is good. If you do not like the headphones that come along with the phone, you can use your own headphones, along with the 2.5 mm adapter. Maybe it is just a detail, but personally, I like phones that have a 3.5 mm jack directly on the phone, as Nokia N95 has. On Nokia 5610, you will be forced to use the adapter if you want to connect your headphones. The FM radio is also OK, and it even has RDS. The video player works fine, the only thing to mention is that films can be seen in full screen.

As I said earlier, the screen quality is very good and the pictures are very good as well. The camera is much better than I have expected. The photos taken with it are very good for a phone. I made several pictures in natural light, artificial light or worse. I do not think you expect them to be comparable to those made by a digital camera, but I was happy.

The internet browsing experience is reasonable for a cell phone, mainly because of the support for UMTS / EDGE. The integrated browser is reasonable, but I was glad I had Opera Mini preinstalled, which seems better to me. On very complex pages, both applications will have problems. The fault belongs partially to the small internal memory of 20 MB. The phone has an integrated email client that supports POP3, IMAP and SMTP. Receiving and sending emails is very similar to receiving and sending SMS. Nokia 5610 XpressMusic has no infrared, but it has Bluetooth.

The calendar from Nokia is one of the most practical, both in the S40 phones, and in the S60 phones. Nokia 5610 has the best organizer functions. Besides the calendar, it has to-do notes, as well as text notes. From the preinstalled applications, Opera Mini is the most useful one. There are some smaller ones, even some games, but anyway you are going to install whatever you like. The phone is not dedicated to the business environment, so it is not ready for Office type applications. You can probably find some PDF, Word and Excel viewers, but I would not base too much on the phone to change a document and then send it as an email.

Nokia 5610 is a phone, which will satisfy you if you will use it for the things the phone was made: music, radio, pictures and movies. If you want GPS, email, Office applications you must go to another class of phones.

Pluses:
+ It is a good phone for multimedia, and especially for music;
+ The camera is pretty good for a phone;
+ The screen is good.

Minuses:
- It does not excel at Internet surfing, because the browsers are very modest;
- It is  not suitable for email or for Office type applications.

Nokia 5800, the phone star appearing in the film The Dark Knight, is already on the market. We all have heard rumors about Nokia and the development of a touch-screen phone, a rival to Apple's iPhone, and they launched Nokia 5800. The phone has a lot of new features such as a sensor that stops the display when you hold it near your face and other innovations that you can find throughout this Nokia 5800 review.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

When you buy the phone, you receive many accessories: a stylus, a spare stylus, stereo headphones with a remote, 8 GB microSD card, TV-Out cable, USB data cable, a charger and a DVD with the software application.

Nokia 5800 has a classic candy-bar shape and is made out of plastic, but the materials are good enough in terms of quality. You can choose the color of your phone from red, blue and black. These colors can be seen only on the sides of the case.

On the right side, we find the buttons for volume control, a button used to lock the display and the camera button. The stylus is placed near its bottom side. On the left side, there are two slots, one for microSD cards and the other for the SIM card. Also on the right side we see the speakers of the phone. On the top side of the phone we find a 3.5 mm audio jack for the headphones, another 2 mm socket and the microUSB slot.

The phone measures 111x51.7x15.5 and weighs 109 grams. Therefore, 5800 is reasonably large and not too "fat". Although in terms of size, is a 2008 typical classic.

One of the strengths of this phone is the display that is covered by a layer of plastic so that it can be used however you want, either using your hand or the stylus. With its 3.2 inch diagonal, 16:9 aspect ratio, 16 million colors and a resolution of 640x360 pixels (39x69 mm), Nokia 5800's screen is really a miracle. You can view pictures, movies or surf on the internet. The screen rotates automatically with the phone. The display of the phone remains quite readable in sunlight, though it may have some problems with the legibility, but nothing major.

Being a touchscreen phone, Nokia 5800 does not have a conventional keyboard but, it has only three mechanical keys on the front - Call, End and Menu. By pressing the End (anywhere in the menu) you will return to the previous levels. In addition, there are three methods of text input, not just methods, but different types of keyboards.

The first one is a standard keyboard, just like on any other phone, and to activate it you must just hold the phone vertically, and the keyboard will allow you to write like any other mobile phone keypad. Next, we have the mini QWERTY keyboard, available both in "landscape" and in the "portrait" modes. Nokia 5800 will enlarge, a little bit, the button above which you are. The last one is the QWERTY keyboard; it has big buttons so you can write with both hands on the screen. As you can see the new Nokia 5800 comes with many options that will help you write more easily.

The phone uses a Li-Ion 320 mAh battery (BL-5J). The producer says that this phone can support up to 8.8 hours of talk time on GSM networks and up to 400 hours of standby. If you use it just to listen to music the phone can hold up to 35 hours, the video player about 5 hours and the phone can video record up to 210 minutes.

Nokia 5800 has 128 MB internal memory, but the user has available only 70-74 MB. However, Nokia 5800 has, in the sales package, an 8GB card and the phone can support up to 32 GB.

In terms of connectivity, the phone can connect via USB, Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi including WEP, WPA, WPA 2, plus the phone has a wizard that helps you to connect almost to any wireless network.

Lately, all mobile phone manufacturers have the tendency to put on their expensive models GPS navigation and Nokia 5800 makes no exception from this rule. The phone has Nokia Maps 2.0 pre-installed which has a new feature specially designed for this device, namely that you can control the map by simply tapping the screen with your finger.

Nokia 5800 offers a new musical experience, a quality multimedia experience for a S60 device. 5800 comes with iPhone type headphones, which means that this will be the first thing to get rid of. You can listen with your own headphones, because they put in a 3.5 mm audio jack. The phone supports the following formats: AAC, AAC +, eAAC, eAAC +, MP3, MP4, M4A, WMA, Mobile XMF, SP-MIDI, AMR (NB-AMR), MIDI Tones (poly 64), RealAudio 7,8,10, True tones (WB-AMR), WAV. MP3, and in addition the Nokia 5800 has an FM radio with RDS support.

Nokia 5800 is equipped with a 3.2 Megapixel CMOS camera with autofocus and macromode, the camera has Carl Zeiss lens (2.8, 3.7) and a flash with two LEDs.

The available resolutions are:
• Print 3M - Large
• Print 2M - Large
• Print / e-mail 1M - Small
• Multimedia message 0.3M

The camera can be activated by pressing the dedicated button mounted on the case. Since the interface is touchscreen, you can easily navigate through options, with only a few taps. To zoom in / out, you will need to use the volume control buttons.

The quality of the photos is pretty good; the photos are similar to those taken with other Nokia phones with 3.2 Megapixels camera. When you record a video, the maximum resolution is 640x480 pixels, and the clip is saved in MPEG4 format. Nokia 5800 receives the same software image stabilization as Nokia N80.

After this Nokia 5800 review, we can say that of the first touchscreen phone from Nokia is a device without major problems that has plenty of features like Wi-Fi connectivity and one of the best displays on the market.

Nokia 5310 is a bar-type design model, which is made out of quality materials. The dimensions are relatively small, the thickness of the mobile is only 9.9 mm. The phone has a weight of only 71 grams. The height of 103.8 mm and the 44.7 mm width are not a record, but these make out of Nokia 5310 a terminal that finds its place even in the tight pockets.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

The keyboard has well defined points of contact and its use does not require too much time for accommodation. The directional key facilitates the navigation through the menu. A strong point of the terminal is the keys located on the left side, near the screen, that are dedicated to control the music player. These buttons are easily identifiable by touch, so changing songs or stops playback can be done without removing the phone from the pocket.

On the top, you can see, near the audio headset, the light sensor with a role in adjusting the brightness of the display and the keypad depending on the ambient light. The 3.5 mm audio output is placed on top of the phone, avoiding the cable tangle in your pocket.

The 5th edition of the 40 Series interface comes with the same intuitive settlement of the facilities on the menu. The menu can be displayed in several forms and different sizes of icons and font. Open it by pressing the center navigation key. The icons and their animations have not been modified. All four directions of the navigation key can be shortcuts to different applications or key functions. In addition, the 2 soft-keys that are on the left and on the right can perform the same function.

The audio quality during calls is good, signal losses were almost nonexistent during the tests, even in areas with low coverage, the terminal behaved well. Instead, the external speaker is not as strong as it should, and it feels especially in noisy environments where it can be hard to hear the ringtone.

The address book supports up to 2000 contacts (more than enough) to which you can add a picture; the contacts can be organized into groups. The call register retains the last 20 calls dialed, received and missed. The voice commands are present and voice recognition is very good. The messaging includes the ability to send SMS and MMS, and even an email client is present that can send an email directly to an email address of a contact.

While all this sounds good for Nokia 5310, it must be said that on the autonomy of the battery things are not so good. Although on paper they look very good - the standby time announced by Nokia is 300 hours, meaning more than 12 days - actually I have not really managed to use this phone more than 4 days without recharging. Instead, the autonomy of the battery in the music player mode is up to 18 hours (officially; unofficially it can hardly pass 14).

Thanks to a new improved audio chip, the audio quality is very good. At first sight, the media player on the Nokia 5310 makes us think to Sony Ericsson's Walkman series. And this is not far from the truth, the people from Nokia are obviously making efforts so that Xpress-player performance is close to the main competitor. First, its facilities include playlists, sorting by albums and an 8 presets equalizer. The supported formats are MP3, Midi, AAC, eAAC and WMA. The music can be played either on the external speaker, but not as loud as we expected, or using the headset that came with the phone. Its quality is good, but for those who really want to have the best audio quality, this 3.5 mm audio connector makes it possible to use other superior quality headphones. In addition, because of the A2DP support, you can listen to your favorite music using a Bluetooth wireless headset. We cannot forget about the FM radio, which uses the same interface with the music player. RDS support is also present.

Although the display size are not exactly optimal for viewing videos, the integrated video player left a good impression. This runs films or videos in 3GP and MP4 formats. It is possible to view them in full screen mode. With a 2 inch diagonal and a QVGA resolution (320 x 240 pixels), the screen that Nokia 5310 is equipped can display 16 million colors.

As we are dealing with a dedicated multimedia phone, and especially for music, it is clear that more memory is required. The internal memory is only 30 MB, but it can be extended with a microSD card up to 4GB. Moreover, in the package is included a 2GB card.

The phone supports hotswap, that means you can enter and remove cards without the need to stop it. One negative point is that the cards slot is below the cap that covers the battery.

The camera comes equipped with a 2 megapixel sensor, that can capture pictures at resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 pixels. The quality of the pictures is not so good, especially in low light conditions, and the video quality is mediocre. The resolution at which it can film is QCIF 176x144 pixels, a shame considering that Nokia offers VGA video recording on identical camera models (Nokia 6234, Nokia 6280).

Nokia 5310 is a tri-band model, which unfortunately lacks 3G. Internet browsing is made at speeds of up to 177kbits/sec or through GPRS in areas without EDGE coverage. As a music player that wants respect, the terminal has Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP profile support, which makes it possible to connect to Bluetooth stereo headphones. The connection to the computer can be done wirelessly via Bluetooth, or through the microUSB port connected to a data cable. Although we have only GPRS and EDGE, the internet browsing and the download are pretty fast, thanks to the integrated Opera Mini browser. The integrated browser makes it possible to surf the WAP and HTML pages. The page loading speed is good, but again we have to complain about the lack of 3G and a display a little more generous in size.

Besides the typical features of the organizer, this model comes with several useful preinstalled applications. The converter is probably one of the most useful of them, but let us not forget the wallpaper creator. Thanks to Java support, the application package may be extended depending on the needs of everyone, and the Nokia Download center helps us to find exactly what we want.

It is clear that Nokia 5310 XpressMusic is a great mobile, that includes many facilities and meet the multimedia demands of a very broad class of users.

In a time when the world seems to be overwhelmed by the size and design in all aspects of our lives, moving from very small to very "glossy", Nokia brings a phone that includes a perfect balance between a discreet look and useful features under the name of Nokia 6600 slide.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

Nokia 6600 slide's package box contains a decent and complete content. The phone comes with a Nokia battery BL-4U, which is a very light and thin battery at 1000 mAh and 3.7 V, sufficient to give life to the new Nokia model. We continue with the memory card MU-28 which is a microSD card with a capacity of 512 MB, perfect for storing music, software and your data. Last, the Nokia Connectivity Cable CA-101 is actually a high-speed microUSB cable (USB 2.0) for bidirectional data transfer with the personal computer and at the same time, an alternative charger.

Being as easy as a feather is a huge advantage in the mobile industry, but Nokia 6600 slide does not come under this category, but rather in the average category because it weights 110 grams.

The case is made of bright steel and has carefully designed lines so it fits perfectly in your hand, making it at the same time very easy to handle. The first part, represented by the 2.2 inch display, 2 buttons with double functions each and one aluminum multifunctional center button, cover perfectly the bottom where the phone keypad is located.

On the top right corner, we find the secondary camera used during video calls. The primary camera impressed me with the generous number of megapixels, replacing a decent digital camera. If you like to modify pictures generally, the phone has a limited number of special effects available that may be applied after or while you are taking the picture. The camera can make films at a VGA resolution and only with 15 fps. The other camera functions has autofocus, macro, flash, digital zoom and video calls.

The first part of the phone is almost entirely occupied by the TFT screen with over 16 million colors, a diagonal of 2.2 inches and a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. Under the TFT screen is the first keyboard with 3 buttons, 2 of them with dual functions such as taking calls, refusing calls, access the functions shown on the screen to the right of each key and the third button that makes it possible to navigate both vertically and horizontally. The keyboard is "hidden" under the first part of the phone occupying no more than 30% of the phone's length, with well defined and spaced keys. The charger slot is on the right side. On the top side, we have the microUSB port and the headset port, both covered with plastic lids. The hand strap support is located on the upper right corner.

On the phone's backside, we find a 3.2 megapixel primary camera with flash. Unfortunately, at least for me, the phone is only available in one color: black gloss.

Unfortunately, Nokia 6600 slide is not a smartphone and does not benefit from an operating system such as Symbian or Windows Mobile. The phone comes with graphical interface Series 40 edition 5, which includes Java Platform Micro Edition (Java ME) for services and applications richer in content.

Nokia 6600 slide's accelerometer is used to determine where an object hits the phone. This function is used to stop the phone from ringing using a tap on the screen or to reject certain calls. The great disadvantage of the Series 40 interface, is that this interface has no multitasking as other phones have, so the phone cannot run 2 or more applications simultaneously. For example, you cannot listen to music while at the same time you add contacts to your phone. This thing is disappointing, because phones with more limited features than the Nokia 6600 slide have multitasking mode.

Another minus is the small memory available, only 18 MB of internal memory, but the phone supports microSD cards so you can add up to 4GB of external memory.

After you select a picture, in the phone's gallery, you have more options available. You can view the picture in several ways, including normal mode or Full Screen mode. Thanks to the picture editor, included in Nokia 6600 slide, we can edit photos directly on the phone. Thanks to the generous 3.2 megapixels camera, the photos have a very good quality. Images can have a resolution up to 2048 x 1536 pixels and you can adjust some options before making a picture, such as white balance, three quality modes starting from basic to high and various special effects.

The audio player from a phone is the direct rival of an MP3 player, or even of an iPod. The graphical interface is well defined and designed to be productive. The audio files can be sort by artist, album or genre. The audio formats supported by the audio player are AAC, AAC +, eAAC +, MP3, MP4, WMA, AMR-NB, Mobile XMF, SF-MIDI, MIDI Tones (64-tons only) and True tones. It has five themes available for the player.  Besides the default theme, we have Blue Moon, Asteroids, Dot Matrix, Sound Waves and Black. Like any player, it has an equalizer that contains 5 predefined modes or you can create 2 new presets.

The video player supports videos in 3GP and MP4 format, and the movies can be played in full screen mode. The video player has fast forward and rewind. All the themes used with the music player are compatible with the video player. Because most of the movies come in an AVI format, you can use Nokia Video Manager program to convert movies. The same camera can make videos with 15 fps and with a VGA resolution.

Nokia 6600 slide has a new way to communicate via USB, called USB On-The-Go (USB OTG). The difference between the normal USB and USB OTG is that in the first case, the phone is considered a peripheral and the computer is considered a host. In USB OTG's case, Nokia 6600 acts as a host that has more peripherals. The possible peripherals are USB devices or flash memory card readers.

The internet connection can be done using GPRS, EDGE or 3G technology. Because of the Series 40 interface, finding a certain applications is easier. Many websites offer free Java applications that are compatible with this interface. However, Nokia 6600 slide does not come empty, and it has a good number of preinstalled applications, besides the classic Calendar. Yahoo! is present in this phone through a search type engine like Google. There are 5 preinstalled games, from the classic Snake to complex games and 3D Soccer. Other possible applications: Widgets, Mobile Search, Yahoo Go!, Windows Live, Download!, Calculator, Converter, World Clock, My Nokia and Presenter.

Nokia 6600 slide is a phone that has the perfect balance between the discreet look and useful features. It addresses to the most users, it is easy to handle and complete in terms of multimedia features.

The E series from Nokia has been always dedicated to business people. E71 is a successor of E61, borrowing quite a lot from it. However, Nokia E71 looks much better and is slightly thinner. Now it is much easier to keep it in your pocket, and it is more beautiful and more powerful. It is a smartphone for business people and it is very much appreciated. We will see that in this Nokia E71 review.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

Nokia E71 measures 114 mm in length, 57 mm in width and it is only 10 mm thick. It weights 127 grams, like most smartphones do. Because the phone is very small, its weight gives you the impression that the phone is very compact and solid.

E71 has a stainless steel and plastic case. The metal makes it look very good and gives the feeling of a solid phone. It is available in two colors, black and white.

On the top side of the phone, we have the ambient light sensor, and on its right, we have the video calls camera. A half of the phone's front side, is occupied by the 2.36 inch screen, followed by the navigation keys and a full QWERTY keyboard. Very well located and useful are the shortcut buttons because, with a push you make your way to the contacts, calendar and the email menus. The microphone is on the front side too. It has an unusual location, because usually it is near the Charger plug. On the left side, we have the microSD card slot and the microUSB port. The two slots are covered with plastic lids to prevent dirt and dust. I am surprised to see that the phone still has infrared port, because only few phones still have it. On the right side, we have the 3.5 mm jack for the audio headphones found in the package box and, slightly below, we find the volume control keys. Among them, we find the voice command button. On the bottom side, we find the charger plug and the hand strap slot.

The backside looks very good. It is made from high quality stainless steel. It looks perfect until the fingerprints make their appearance. Above the battery cover, the phone has a 3.2 megapixel camera and a flash with LED technology. In addition, we have a mini-mirror, which helps you do your portrait pictures easier.

Nokia E71 works with Symbian S60 technology. This platform gives us stability. To demonstrate that it is a business phone, it has quick access keys that help you browse very quickly through the menus and access some applications with a single button. One of these keys is Home, which takes you back into the background, no matter the menu in which you are. Although simple, this function is very useful when you have many applications running and you quickly want to pass them in the background. As I said before, in this category of direct access keys we include the email, the calendar and the timetable.

Nokia E71 has a 2.36-inch QVGA screen, which offers 16 million colors and a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. The screen is slightly smaller than E61's screen, but the phone looks much more compact. The image offered by the screen has a good quality, even under bright sunlight, and you can easily read the information displayed. The screen has an excellent contrast and vivid colors.

Although E71 is a business phone, the multimedia functions are very good. The music player is the standard player used by Symbian and I think it is good enough. It can sort tracks by artist, album, genre and composer. After you add music using the USB cable, the Bluetooth or the memory card, the player automatically scans new files and adds them to your album. The player comes with five equalizer presets, but you can modify them afterwards. Nokia E71 has Bluetooth and A2DP support, meaning you can listen to stereo music on wireless headphones.

The sound quality is good. We used both the standard headphones, and some other pairs and I was happy about the sound quality. It is still a phone, so it cannot be compared to a powerful player, but if you occasionally listen to music then the audio player is very good. The sound is clear, but the volume is not that good, so if you are in a noisy area you will not be able to concentrate on the music.

The camera has 3.2-megapixels and a LED flash. The lenses are not protected by plastic. As time passes, it is possible that the lens will scratch and the pictures will come out worse. The second problem is that we do not have a dedicated camera button. These two issues clearly show that Nokia has thought from the beginning that we will take photos with E71 only occasionally. The picture quality is average. The colors are not too real. The video recording does not manage to impress. With only 15 fps, you cannot make a decent video. The video player is the well-known Real Player. How the phone's screen is already horizontally, the player works only in landscape mode.

The FM radio is good if you get bored of your own music and want to listen to something new. It can automatically scan and save channels in your area. If you access the Internet, the Visual Radio application can download all the local stations and save them in your phone. This is a old version and it does not have RDS. I was not bothered by that.

Nokia E71 is very rich in the connectivity chapter. It even has infrared technology and it can be useful if you want to transfer something to an older phone that does not have Bluetooth. Of course, the Bluetooth is not missing.

For the Internet, we have WiFi and HSDPA. Therefore, you will have better transfer speeds in your operator network, and in hotspot areas. It is a pleasure to surf on the Internet with Nokia E71's web browser. The fact that the screen is already placed horizontally makes the pages fit better and it does not need so much horizontal scrolling. The pages load quickly and are rendered well. As you already know, the Symbian browser is very good, so I did not felt the need to install anything, although there are alternatives like Opera Mobile for example.

Because it is a business phone, I was mainly interested in what applications the phone has for time management. Nokia E71 comes with one of the best organizers any phone has released so far. It is easy to use and highly functional. Dates can be displayed in four ways (in days, weeks, months and to-do lists). You can add more types of events such as meetings, memos, birthdays, etc.

The Office applications are not missing. All Nokia Symbian phones come with QuickOffice, which lets you view Word, Excel or Powerpoint files. Nokia has a better version of QuickOffice on E71, and you have the possibility to modify the documents. This version must be paid on other Symbian phones. E71 can read PDFs too, and it even has a ZIP extractor application.

Nokia E71 has a built-in GPS. With the big horizontal screen, it might be very good to use it for navigation and you will not need to spend money on a dedicated GPS. For navigation, E71 comes with Nokia Maps. The maps are good, but if you want to have voice commands, you will have to pay for each country.

From this Nokia E71 review we found out that it is one of the best equipped Nokia smartphones. No wonder it became so popular. It moves well, it looks good, it has a more than reasonable size and it offers an excellent connectivity.
