Simple to use, great features, looks smart, not overloaded with technology the normob doesn't need. A feature phone making texting easy, not too expensive, looking smart...a very good place for this phone! Look, everyone out there does not want (need) a high priced smartphone with tons of capabilities. The normob just wants a smart looking phone that caters to the couple of things they do routinely. It may be a camera, it may be music, it may be texting. The E71 may be Nokia’s best output yet. Simple to use, great features, looks smart, not overloaded with technology the normob doesn’t need.

I was a lucky early Communicator user at Nokia and got spoiled with its big wide QWERTY as the second keyboard. Since then have had five communicators including now my E90 (and TOTALLY LOVE it) but yes, twice in my career, I've gone without a Communicator because of the often very long delay between subsequent models, and just switched to another smartphone with no QWERTY. And boy was that a pain. And I've seen every time with the two phones that I carry, that I put far more messaging traffic onto the Communicator than the alternate non-QWERTY phone. Great posting. Will blog about it and link to it when I get back home (greetings from airport lounge ha-ha, but luckily am homeward-bound) Always lurking here at MobHappy waiting for goodies to get more happy about our industry.. :-) Your friend and fan Tomi Ahonen :-) www.tomiahonen.com Hi Carlo and happy readers of MobHappy
