Red and Black Versions:

http://www.e71blog.com/2008/12/black...ia-world-2008/

The black one was boring, and the red one frightens me. They should've done red bezel around the screen too.

So E71 or Bold or iphone?!
i have trouble picking one already.
In terms of data usage i know i will use as much of the data as possible =P, soo which one would you guys pick?

^ none of the phone will bet iphone in turns of surfing.

^ iphone can't touch E71 when it comes to typing.

I use my iphone 3G as ipod touch and E71 as my phone. I found some websites I visited, I preferred to use E71 than iPhone. But others I like using my iPhone for it.

just picked up the phone yesterday... and bought a crystal case for it right away...

hm... so many pages to read through..

anyone got a step by step on how to get hotmail to work as one of the email clients ???

is there a way to permanently disable 3G.. i am worried that i am going to get charged for some roaming...

lastly... is msn messenger already preloaded???

^ had hotmail working as live mail client one time, but it's not working anymore after firmware update. It works faster with the mobile msn anyway, so I didn't try to figure it out again.

u need to dl messanger for symbian. google and find the latest one.

Anybody knows how to debrand the E71 from Rogers?
hmm...

^IIRC, changing the product code via Phoneix or that other program which escapes my brain, then updating firmware with NSU should do the trick?

NSS is what you're thining of, Nemesis Something Something. :p I'll post the proper product code when I get home.

Yea... but i was only able to find the product code for E71-1 but not for Roger's E71-2
Anybody knows where I can find them, without the risk of bricking the phone?

^Anytime you do something like this, there is risk involved. Although it is super duper low, risk is there. 2% is still 2%. It's your call. I've personally done it a few times and never had any problems. Go to howardforums.com and go to the S60 forum, look up product codes in the E71 NAM Edition thread. You should be able to find what you need there.

^
Perfect, thanks for the headsup

My E71-2's original product code: 0570274
My E71-2's upgradable product code: 0559585

Hmm, the gold is kinda subtle, and doesn't really work with the white? My two cents.

And what colour is your rubber cover for the USB and microSD now? haha mine is yellowish. :haha:

^Its like.. brown. Lol. Kinda gross. Haha.

^But you're keys are still white like rice? Or is it a cream like cum?

^They're still white.. I think?

Yeah, the keys stay white. That rubber cover....lolll

Is there a Instant Messaging application already in the phone ??? or do I need to download MSN messenger.. and once i download msn messenger.. can i access hotmail with just a push of the button as well ???

and is the one off the nokia europe website the most current one ???

No there isnt. You need to DL the MSN app or another one like fring or slickIM. I use slick cause it loads my contacts 10 times faster than MSN.

Does anyone know how to use the VOIP/SIP phone settings? I dont really understand how it works. If im at a wifi spot can I make free internet calls to local numbers? Ive read that you can set it up so when you get home, it connects to your wifi network and uses ur cell as the homephone. All housecalls get directed to your phone and when u make calls out it goes thru the land line as well. Can someone explain?

i dun see winlive on my phone when i go to downloads and refresh the screen...

Because you won't find it there. You'll have to download it on your computer.

Anyone got the product code with generic / debranded firmware for E71-2?
