Review:
If you got this phone because you couldn't afford the iphone, then you should have waited til you could.
Everything is compared to the Iphone, but if you want a phone that works like an iphone, then you should really get an iphone.
This phone is excellent. I use my E71 to connect to gmail, yahoo, hotmail and outlook express and it works seamlessly everytime. I use the nokia maps in the UK and throughout europe and it works a treat. The pre-installed apps are great and allow me to retrieve xls, doc, ppt and pdf formats as well as picture and sound files. Applications available for download are limited and probably usless in terms of productivity.
The phone has a 3.2MP camera. Industry standard, I'd say, considering this isnt an N-series phone. If you want a multimedia phone with a better camera and you have spare time to wait for it to load before the battery runs out, then get an N series.
If you think its OK to compare cameras with a k800's 3.2MP camera, then you're mistaken. The k800 is a cybershot phone, which is not only its best feature, but probably the only feature worth mentioning. If you wanted a better camera, get the Sateo 12MP, C905, C902 and so on.
The E71 is a good all rounder, all of its features work if you know how to use them - I would agree that Nokia support is almost useless - use website forums to get things going , its easier. If you don't know of its best features such as push email, wifi, hsdpa etc then maybe you bought it for the wrong reasons.
All in all a good phone. But, im not a Nokia rep...
The Iphone is better.

BlackBerry Storm 2
Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks
INQ Mini 3G
Sluggish at times, and not the easiest phone to use, but it offers a great range of features at a low price
