Review:

I bought an E71 when they came out for UK O2 in Dec 08. I immediately had problems with Outlook calendary synchronisation which Nokia could not resolve. Eventually I find out that if you have any overlapping appointments or indeed if someone sends you an invite which would overlap then synchronisation fails. Once it fails it wont synch at all and you have to resolve the conflict then force a full resynch.

I have also had problems with loss of signal when I end a call. The phone decides after you hang up that there is no signal and I have to turn the phone on and off again. The emails also often do not synch and need to be done manually.

Nokia support deny all knowledge of the issues but in summary, after 2 months I am throwing it away and buying something else. It simply does not work as either a phone or email/calendar solution.
