Buy the real thing....get a Blackberry Bold.

 

But that said...the E71 is a great phone...but just to let you know...E72 should be out soon.

[Droozy]

Ya did see my fren Blackberry Bold - its nice but steep for the price and from wat I know berry is for people who need to access to email regularly.. which I am not one of them ...

 

So u are hinting to wait one for wk and E71 price will drop ?? ASk singtel staff , they said no news of releasing at the moment .. was hopping that the price will drop too

Ya that's what i feel too. It could be $26 in the end.

 

You need to give ST a call to them

 

I'm glad i'm with starhub now. Their data pricing is so simple. pay $x get x amount. overshoot it then there's a certain rate and after you hit a $ cap so no matter what your data won't exceed the capped rate.

I have just ask Singtel.. its yr monthly plan (eg ione plus bill) plus additional of $5.25 for the data plan. Data plan is 200mb each month. She said for E71 would not exceed for light user as screen is smaller as to compared to iphone.

 

She's trying to smoke you. Its usage and not screen real estate that counts.

 

Where do u download garmin XT for E71 ? Is it free ? Can use it offline too ? Sorry for being specific. me not IT term trained . THanks for so many advice too

 

Google "Garmin XT symbian install" and read through what you can find. Look through the various blog posts and you'll find your answer. Lets just say that by right, its a paid software.

 

I also wrote how to update the firmware earlier. go reaad through my posts, there's only one that said Nokia PC Suit

[Droozy]

huh ?? really ??? got to ask one more time liao.. anyway with and without data plan is the same price

 

ok ok i will try to google for it.. thanks . hope dun corrupt my hp can liao... thanks !

Good question. That was what it shows.

 

But when i was at Hello, i was told that $178 is exculsively with data plan. $5 monthly addtional.

If no data plan, it's $298. Find it quite steep for a relatively old phone considering the newer one is coming out soon.

The $5 data plan is suitable for light users.

 

In the end, didn't go for E71 though i know it really is good. Got the iphone instead.

 

You are right. I tried to select the phone is Singtelshop.com, it said must add the Nokia ... VAS which is about $5.

 

$298 for this phone is indeed not worth it.

 

Too bad have to wait till next month liao and hopefully there is still stocks for iPhone.

Yup it's abit pricey at $298. Abit more you can get the BB Bold already.

 

Ya i agree that ST is smoking to say it is according to the screen size. What crap is that. It is how you surf the net. Goodness.

 

But both E71 and Iphone are good phones. Depends on what you looking for in your next phone

Never hang before.

Durable and solid. Can withstand 1.5m drop.

Fpr those that uses data a lot, do take a look at Blackberry as it save you money. The data compression is excellent and so far I surf and receive emails (with attachments) I have yet to breach the 1G allocation. (Blackberry Bold 9000)

 

Last time dun even wanna try Blackberry is due to the reason that the sub is damn expensive...but now its much cheaper.

 

BTW...dun bother about Stinktel....plans is damn blardy expensive....

 

My usage no change...

 

i2Plus...paying around $110-$130 every month (voice and SMS & light surf data)

 

Now on Starhub 700....every month is around $100 only (voice + SMS + premium data at 1G)

 

================================================

 

E52 if the E51 is anything to go by....

 

Good points

Stylish and handy design

Easy to use

Good battery life

Wifi, 3G

Push Mail

Great Youtube widget

Simple and effective mini USB for data transfer

 

Bad point

Size does matter...reading email especially attachment is a pain in the bum !! (small screen)

No Qwerty. reading email is ok....banging out full reply takes lots of movitation.

Need a seperate jack to charge battery...why cannot use mini USB to charge while sync with computer ?

[Ghostrider]

Go "Freedom"software shops to find the Nokia PC Suite and other software....plenty for you to fool around !!

 

Hint hint....Jaybee Hoilday Inn Plaza got many "freedom" software at RM10-RM12

Hi hi

 

I have bought E71 few hrs ago.. se free wifi to googlemaps liao.. now off wifi .. can u guide me how to retrieve the googlemap that I went ? thanks !

Hi hi

Just use the map function... is an icon of a Map .. is found in the GPS folder.

 

once you start the maps application, you see the google earth globe. Just scroll to the required country, eg singapore, and zoom in. The Zoom in button is the up arrow key and the zoom out button is the backspace key. Use the main navigation key to scroll up/down/left/right of the map.

Using Options, map mode, you can select map view, satellite view, hybrid view, or 3d map view. Of course you need to be connected to wifi or gprs to download the maps to your phone cache at the beginning. Make sure you turn off GPRS (that is the default setting) unless you have some data plan - otherwise can easily hit big bucks as the many many MB of maps to download.

 

Once you have scrolled around singapore, you can test going offline from the wifi/gprs, and test the route planning. Select start and end points, and calculate route. It usually gives a relatively good route. You can choose between driving or walking.

 

remember, the pain is in the small screen size!

 

Also, if you willing to subsribe to nokia maps or something, they have voice features, and updates (eg. traffic, etc) but I can't be bothered by paying extra. The default map is ok for me.

Thanks I will try that again when I hv free wifi.. coz my miserable data plan is not going to support it.

 

I went thru the manual , only ask me to set up GPS but not off it ? coz I just want to make sure its off :P

 

to install programs into this hp, I hv to use the wire provided . But would it prompt me any folder to save in ? in my memory card ??

 

thanks so much for guilding me !
