I have the latest NAM one? The updater says I have the latest one....let me find the version....

100.07.76

I have the advanced contacts, yup. Did you just buy that one full housing on eBay? From Hong Kong? Because I just did like an hour ago LOL

arent they all from hongkong? haha. Yeah full housing. Probably bought it from the same sellers. Not many e71 housings out there yet.

ok i uploaded the .sisx and the .sis file onto my memory card, but it won't let me install the dep.sisx file?? should i just go ahead and install the windows messenger?

^Yes. That's what kardboard was saying. You only need to install the other .sis file since dep.sisx is already installed.

Got my White Steel dummy! Now....to figure out how to open up the damned thing...

^Dont tell me its all glued on, like many other dummy phones. Lol.

....annnnd I figured it out. Gotta yank out the fake USB/cardslot cover then pry the stainless steel battery cover off. :p Annnnd no...can't use it as a housing. We could probably use the screws, as they're Phillips head ones, not the T6 ones on the real phone. I've done that with a 902SH dummy before to replace the stripped screws in my real phone. Maybe the keypad too? Not sure if I can take it apart any more without the chance of damaging the dummy.

Want sell me the lower metal front part of the dummy? =P
Looks like the dummy is pretty much just help by glue, eh?
Better luck with the eBay housing, hopefully.

Did you try unscrewing the 4 screws on the back and popping the front cover off?
or is that glued on too?

Sorry, keeping it with my other dummies in my gadget drawer. :p It was like $15 though lol

I did unscrew the four screws, but there was a fifth one that I looks like is under where the camera would be that was holding the front down.

can anyone get VSUN (super nintendo emulator) to work on their E71?

I'm assuming this phone only comes unlocked from what I found
which data plans are you using from fido/rogers? I thought they check the IMEI's and you could only use their phones for data plans. this phone looks awesome and i would love to tack on a data plan (w/o contract) to my voice plan at fido with this phone.

Any sample low light shots using this phone?

I will try soon. :p
They don't check IMEIs unless you're using the BlackBerry 6GB plan...which you shouldn't. Use the Smartphone one....but that's over now as of Sep. 30. Not sure about Fido.

Low-light shots are garbage. Trust me. :p

thnx for the quick reply
what choices do I have for fido data plans (that don't require a contract?)
tethering would be nice with my 1000H 'cause wireless at school is slow as shit

what's there to hack on this phone, i thought it comes unlocked with s60 running on all of them. are there restrictions on installs? I guess I'll research on this more

the prices I'm seeing are about $500...

i can confirm vBagX is working with E71

No idea about the plans. Not much to hack? I dunno, it's S60, it's unbranded, it's unlocked. No restrictions other than the ones that are inherently in S60 (i.e. needs to be signed, etc.)

Prices for gently used ones are around $400, and that's a steal! I paid $530 for mine because it was an impulse buy on eBay and then Customs raped me. Learn from me. :p

And why do you guys prefer this over the iphone?

it's been extended til Oct 4

S60, has buttons/keypad, Nokia E-series quality.

Blackberries and iphones on rogers wont let u chose the unlimited browsing thing for 25$ option but will this work for then nokia?

on the last page ive talked about my memory card slot doesnt work.
now instead of getting it fixed, im thinking about selling it.

what do u guys think is a good asking price?

^did you get a quote to see how much it cost to get it fixed?

nope... been too busy.

Got my Grey steel housing!
The color of the metal is slightly darker than the white steel.
