question about Nokia's

[YiNG_YaNG_6o4]

i'm hoping Alphamale can answer this one since he seems to know his shit when it comes to phones. I'm looking at the E71 right now. but how do i check to see if it is E71-1 or E71-2? is it stamped on the phone somewhere?

i also hear that if it used to be branded to rogers.. and then unlocked. i could still run into trouble using some of the features. can anyone confirm this? i thought once the phone is unlocked and it is a -2 then you're good to go

any feedback is appreciated. thanks!

oh .. one more thing. how do i check if the phone is made in Finland or USA =)

1. You can look at the OEM sticker/label under the battery on the phone itself. It should indicate whether it is the E71-1 or E71-2. Also, it should say where it is made.

2. Features - I think maybe just silly things like MMS, being able to create and use your own ringtones/MP3s, WAP settings etc. But that can be changed by doing a simple unbranding and +Kardboard+ has an awesome sticky at the top of this forum on general WAP/data settings for Fido and Rogers.

FYI, unlocking and unbranding are two very different things.

Hope that helps!

Another way to check the phone is either a -1 or -2 is if you press
*#0000# and it should tell you as well. I'm not 100% sure though.
