We had 2 x E71 dead out the box in the office, both directors phones just wouldn't hold signal the GPS took ages to load even after the initial boot up.

But you never know could have been a bad batch :p I still like Nokia phones but after the BlackBerry change I don't think I'll rush back I like the idea of not paying for downloading my mail and not having to "connect" to get my mail and not paying the data charge!

you are paying 50-70pm for that service, its not entirely free, then again, nothing is for free:)
except for the Garmin for life on the Omnia :)

I have to agree, having the push email is the best thing since sliced bread, nothing compares to a BB, once you've tried it u dont go back.

Saying that, I do have an app on my Omnia that I'm keen to try, that promises push email features. Will have to see how it works and let u know, but IMO, its going to take a lot to beat a BB. The only critiscm I do have about the BB, is there isnt a lot of third party apps, then again, havent needed anything more than whats on the phone, they got it all on the BB already. :)

My friend also changed his E71 twice. First one kept freezing. Second one did not hold up any battery charge. The third one is flawless.

I have the Bold, my upgrade from the 8310 which was my first BB the phone is awesome. It's much fast compared to the 8310 the GPS works great, I've never had a problem in Cape Town and the advantage of 3G is also excellent. Free browsing and email on the phone and if you want to browse on your PC/Mac just add a bolt on setup the Bluetoof and you are cooking!

The memory card access on the side of the phone is great so you can change cards if you wish! You can also sync with Itunes on your Mac, don't know about the PC software.

Are you on MTN?
 
I'm going to try and make up my mind today. Tomorrow I will have to choose between the following:

N96
N85
BB Bold
Innov8
E71 (I like the E71, only problem is the keys are so small)

The GPS and battery on E71 is amazing. We drove from JHB to Kruger Park (5hrs) with Navigation. It only lost the satellite once, for a few minutes. The battery lasted the whole weekend despite intensive GPS usage.

Does anyone know how the licensing of the gps works on the Nokia E71? A friend of mine tells me that he only got a 12 Month usage thereafter it is €69.99 for the next 12 moths. Can anyone confirm this?
