I can't wait! I haven't waited for and wanted a phone so badly since my 7610. Bring it already!

I would say that they're doing a pretty stellar job of keeping it hidden, actually. Two 'sightings' in the span of nearly five months? It sure would be nice to see one without the chrome though, since that's so-gen-one-iphone.

Looks like it took a lot of chrome cues from the E51, not the iPhone

Is it me or that page is not loading? I tried even the original one without the Google translator an it tried to load for over an hour. I had to kill it. Tried several browsers too. I just want to see the photos.

One killer phone. If it has the battery life of the E61i I'm so in for this......

funny that he is using a sony phone to take the pic

Nice eye evilpaul. Let's see some 3G love from Nokia on this one. I'm gonna be honest here. It doesn't look very wide at all. In fact, if the supposed dimensions of this are correct, its narrower than a Blackjack II. I don't know about the rest of you, but i'm not down with that at all. I liked the fact that the E61i's keyboard was so spacious.

Huh? That's the first thing I noticed. The SE logo.
I currently have both an E61i and a BlackJack II. Although I definitely prefer the E61i keyboard, the BlackJack isn't as bad as it seems. My only complaint with it is OS-driven and it's the lack of keyboard shortcuts for foreign characters and for quickly scrolling through pages (vertically) or words (horizontally), which is all available in the E61i.
What does concern me about making the E71 narrower than the E61i is not so much keyboard size as it is screen size. The 2.8" screen is one of my favorite features of the Nokia.
That being said, if I had the choice of E61i-size or BJ-size keyboard on the E71, I'd definitely go the wider way. Wider is better, said Pontiac.

You would think it would be an update to the E70 butterfly phone.
But, noooooooooooooooooooooooo
e61dude @ Apr 25th 2008 12:52AM
i know nokia won't do this... but it would be so awesome if they debuted their s60 touch with this phone... i mean, the ui is very straightfoward and business-like, just like this phone... i think it would be a great option

I actually saw one of these yesterday in the bus here in Finland. One smooth looking phone.
BKWatch @ Apr 25th 2008 1:12PM
is it me, or does the phone look a bit thick on the bottom? Where are the ports?
Pdexter @ Apr 26th 2008 12:10PM
it's supposed to be 11mm thin, but the bottom looks a bit wierd indeed.
%"%&% cant they just release this and E66 already. Damnit!
