Nokia E71 gets handled before announcement -- again {Engadget Mobile}
May 26th 2008 11:32AM Richard - where can I sign up for your next class in "perfection"?
Or do you only offer a class called "stroking one's own ego by insulting people trying to bring relevant news and information to people like me"?

May 26th 2008 11:30AM RPA - I have an E61i and I don't have this problem. There's an easy solution to this.Turn off "Auto adjust/set" time -- meaning YOU set the time on the device, not the network/operator.
Menu --> Tools --> Settings --> Date and Time --> Network Operator Time should be set to "off"
Another solution - if you enter calendar events in Outlook 2007 and have it sync to the E61i, you can set the time zone very easily in Outlook - adjust the toolbar settings/display to show the time zone right next to the "recurring" drop-down.
Hope this helps.

May 4th 2008 7:18PM TZ CPU speed...that's one reason why. (Though there are a lot of good things about the TZ, that ain't one of them compared to the U110).

May 4th 2008 7:17PM I wonder if this is the same 1.6Ghz CPU that Apple claimed Intel made "special" for the Air. If so, maybe a period of exclusivity expired for Apple? Because the X300 would be a lot better with 1.6 GHz (like the U110) than with that 1.2GHz that's in the x300 now.
Hopefully the X200 will have the trackpoint and the 1.6Ghz or better CPU....and/or maybe they'll rev/bump the X300.

May 3rd 2008 7:20PM Actually, the clear coating on the keys will hold up way better than the texture on your typical uncoated key. I design similar products for a living. When we want better material hardness or scratch/abrasion resistance, we use a clear coating.
That said, I've never been bothered by my T30, T41p, T60p, X61T keys getting glossy and shiny after 3 months use as the texture wears away on the uncoated plastic.
Anyway, if Lenovo used the right kind of clear coating (and I imagine they did, knowing the lifetime testing regiment to which ThinkPad keyboards are subjected during development), then you've got nothing to worry about in terms of the coating wearing off on the keys.
For reference, HP has been clear coating some of their consumer notebook keyboards for over a year now (many of them are silver colored).

May 3rd 2008 7:13PM Great opening video and thanks for all the impressions. I've been waiting for this little guy to come out and to see some reviews. Bummer about the glossy screen in my book.
One question that wasn't answered in the gallery (not enough lighting on some of the shots to see clearly) or written impressions -- does the screen have a latch? one or two hooks?
Asking this because my friend has an 11" Toshiba Portege (Japan model) which has a latchless lid / screen. It's got an over-center action as you get it within an inch or so of being closed, but given that the screen is about as rigid as a sheet of single-ply cardboard, a latch on that unit would certainly give a bit of security when it's thrown in a backpack.

May 3rd 2008 6:47PM Remap the keys as mentioned above. Then on most units, you can swap the CTRL and FN keys -- pop them off, look as the way they are designed, and then you can easily snap them back on.

May 3rd 2008 6:44PM Agreed, why is it that Fujitsu is the only company (that I know of anyway) that puts a touchscreen on some of their regular notebooks (not just on tablet models) ?
