It was back in June 2008 that the E71 was officially released to the public - the selling points for the E71 were a sleek, stylish do-it-all device that came with Mail for Exchange mobile email client - pre-loaded with the Nokia E71. Actually, the device boasted much much more than these attributes as you'll see below in my findings after having the pleasure of making the E71 my main device for 3 weeks... enjoy the recap, the images and the videos!
Nokia N95 and Apple iPhone Raise the Bar for Mobile Multimedia
Written by Strategy Analytics

The latest Wireless Device Laboratory report, “Nokia N95 and Apple iPhone Set
New Standards for Multimedia Devices,” reveals that although the iPhone has the
wow factor and outperforms all other multimedia devices tested, the Nokia N95
likewise provides exceptional multimedia performance in a mobile form.
Strategy Analytics has conducted the first end user evaluation of the much heralded
iPhone with its panel of multimedia buyers in Boston, MA.
BOSTON-- Paul Brown, Senior Analyst in the User Experience Practice, comments,
“The iPhone has raised the bar in terms of navigation, menu logic and overall
multimedia consumption experience. Thus, the iPhone generally lives up to its
hype!” Brown adds “The Nokia N95 also offers an exceptional multimedia experience
with better features than the iPhone, but it suffers from Nokia’s traditional
lack of industrial design expertise and weak brand image in the US.”
David Kerr, Vice President of Strategy Analytics, notes “The iPhone certainly
wins on the style/design and wow factor but has notable weaknesses in the telephony
icons and second level menu icon clarity.”
Kerr adds that key questions remain on the iPhone:
* Can the virtual keypad win over SMS activists?
* Is the lack of video capture a significant factor?
* Does the limited 2 Megapixel camera and lack of image refinement, manipulation
tools (zoom, autofocus etc) represent a significant deficit?
