Missing features
There have been downgrades in three serious places. The first is the camera, which has a resolution of only 2 megapixels and autofocus is missing. This can be seen on the pictures taken, of course, but let’s stop here for a second. Does Nokia think it wrong that for a business user, in case of such a handset, this is one of the least important factor? No. E71 is no photo phone either, some camera has to be included to capture sudden situations, this resolution is enough for such things. There are test pictures of course. Video recording is basic as well: QVGA resolution at 15 fps.

There is no GPS either. Of course this can be added later through a GPS receiver with Bluetooth connection, but then we have the same price as E71, as the software should be calculated as well, which is installed on the phone, but there are no maps with it. But there are probably quite a lot of E71 users who don’t use GPS at all, or they only try it out once, so the lack of this won’t hurt many people, and it also affects the price-tag in a positive way.
Another important thing has disappeared from the specs, and this is HSDPA. We still have “plain” 3G, probably Nokia engineers have thought that this speed will be enough for browsing on the phone and checking emails (3G-UMTS has a speed of 384 kbps, while HSDPA – at least in the case of E71 – works at 3.6 Mbps if we have proper network preferences). The built-in browser didn’t change, it has flash support, this Nokia also has an HTML browser with many features.
The handset comes with a kind of demo version of the Nokia Ovi service, which gives us 100 megabytes of free download from the manufacturer’s servers, which includes themes, applications, ringtones and games. I should also note, regarding games, that there are none installed on the handset.
