Yet another high quality feature packed phone from Nokia. The slim and compact design of this phone makes it not only easy to hold, but also allows easy access to the main everyday features. The large screen means that information is displayed clearly and with a lot more detail than most smaller phones. The business functions built into this phone are excellent. My phone has been supplied with quickoffice pre installed (not sure if that's a nokia thing or from my provider) which will allow you to view office attachments (word docs, spreadsheets and presentations) from email received on the go and also edit or create documents to forward on. The standard email software provided will allow you to connect to most POP and IMAP mailboxes and also comes with the Nokia Mail for Exchange connector enabling connection to corporate Exchange servers also. With the built in WiFi you can connect to most wireless networks quickly and easily and use the phones high quality internet browser without running up a huge bill for data usage with your provider. There are only 2 main issues I have with this phone. The first is with the reception, it appears that by holding the phone you severly cut the reception quality in some areas. This has meant that on numerous occassions my call has been cut off by moving from one room to another. The other problem is that the keys on the qwerty keyboard can be a little fiddly if trying to type quickly, resulting in words miss spelt quite often. The phone is supplied with a generous 2Gb MicroSD Flash card although some of this is used to store the installed software on the phone, so unfortunately change the card and you risk losing some of your programs too.

Advantages: Great for the Internet and organising your calendar and great on price. Disadvantages: May not be worth the savings if you like the Nokia E71.
