The Nokia E71 thread

Finally ordered mine today as an upgrade on t-mobiles.

flext 35, with web'n'walk for £31.50 per month, 18months.

One question, can I legally (in terms of the t-mobile contract) use the phone as a modem to surf on my netbook when away from home?
 
Got mine last week on Vodaphone £30/18months 500mins/100texts.
Brilliant bit of kit, though the camera in it is a bit ropey.

I'm sure you can - I use my phone all the time for this (on Vodafone)
 
My phone arrived from t-mobile this morning. I was expecting the black version, but its grey. Just charging up now!

Should I leave the default t-mobile firmware on there to update to the nokia generic version?

I have the default t-mobile software on my E71, it works fine. I haven't bothered to tweak the firmware at all, just installed all the apps I need and all is good.

ps today I sold I my mint condition 2g Iphone to a friend, she has fallen in love with it, I did have second thoughts about it, but I did let it go in the end. Just hope she takes care of it..............
 
I've installed fring, nokia messaging (very impressed with this!) and msn live messenger. Is there anything else which is good?

Is there anyway to make the phone stop asking me about connecting to the internet? I just want it to just use the 3g whenever it wants without showing a popup each time.

Thanks
 
I have fring, nokia messaging, iplayer, tubimobia(youtube), garmin XT, googlemaps and few others. All works well.

I don't mind the network popup, as I use my wifi network at home and HSDPA when away. I like to be given the choices.
 
Thanks, ive found something called SmartConnect that helps in stopping the popups. I've got it setup that my home wifi network is my main connection and t-mobile 3g is second. Anytime I wish to connect it auto tries the wifi, then 3g.

I think I need a desk stand / charger for it. Anyone got one that they can recommend?

Just got one of these today as an upgrade(?) on 3 from my old N95-1. Struggling a bit with the size of the buttons, but other than that is a nice bit of kit, chose the white version as I thought it looked a little nicer, my only real gripe is the naff rubber cover on the USB port, looks cheap and nasty.

Just need to get Garmin XT on it, hope it works.
 
Ive just flashed to generic firmware to get rid of all the 3 crap, now its asking for the lock code and 12345 doesnt work. Anyone have any ideas?

/edit - sorted /

Hi, anybody downloaded the Skyfire browser for E71? Downloaded today and I am impressed!! Full support for flash sites, opens youtube videos from the site, opens BBC iplayer site and streams radio without using Realplayer! And free as well.

Anyone else using it?
 
Had this phone since yesterday. First ever qwerty phone, absolutely brilliant, can't fault it one bit so far. Loads smaller than I expected too, very pleased :)
