E71 vs SE P1i + SE W910i

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

Have been more than one week using E71 (yes, finally i can’t find any phone with better functionality+price than this phone), here is the summary:

Pro:
1. It’s much faster then SE P1i
2. Qwerty keyboard is good, maybe the shift and numeric pad sometimes can be confusing
3. Loudspeaker for music is better than SE walkman series
4. battery is ok, more than one day even using fring connected all the time + gps active
5. very slim

Cons:
1. Nokia seems not good when it is used for modem. Need to restart the phone or laptop (sometimes both) when gprs connection is disconnected not in the proper way
2. SE W910 still has much better sound during the phone call
3. Headset is not as good as SE walkman series
4. A little bit heavy
5. built in GPS guide is not to accurate, in Jakarta, it is always suggesting to use Tol Dalam Kota and JORR. And, the guide is talking too much.

Personal Opinion:
1. Use Garmin XT GPS rather than the built in GPS.
2. Use cable is much more stable than bluetooth for modem connection, but sometimes still need to restart the phone
