Nokia Mobile E71x review

The Nokia E71x is an easy phone to recommend for business users looking for a powerful device in an attractive, slim shell. It's one of the better smartphones on the market, and certainly its near the top of AT&T's lineup. The interface could use a serious overhaul to make it more convenient, intuitive and downright pretty, and AT&T did little to improve this phone from the unlocked Nokia E71 besides adding a raft of trial software and carrier-specific extras.


Still, the phone does a very good job at nearly everything, with e-mail, Web browsing and call handling as standouts. At twice the price, this would be a good choice, but with a starting bid of $100, we think AT&T and Nokia have a winner on their hands. Release: May 2009. Price: $100.
Pros: Slim design makes it the coolest smartphone in its class. Great value. Very good Web browsing and GPS features.
Cons: Multimedia functions lag behind all others. Already stodgy Symbian interface not improved by AT&T bloatware. Mediocre camera.
