The Nokia E71 and E71x are almost the exact same phone. The E71x was released for AT&T wireless customers in April 2009, though the company no longer actively offers the phone through upgrade programs or website promotions. The E71 was released as a GSM phone that would function on multiple networks. The only real difference between them is that the E71 features FM radio capability and the E71x does not.
Size and Appearance
Both phones are 4.4 inches tall, 2.2 inches wide and 0.4 inches thick. The phones weigh 4.4 ounces. The E71x and E71 come in several different colors -- among these are white steel, gray steel, black and red. The display screen rests above the full keyboard, and the inputs jacks for USB connectivity and headphones are placed on the sides of both models. The battery slot is in the back of the phone near the bottom, and the internal antenna is on top.
Messaging and Communication
The E71 and E71x both support text, picture and video messaging. Both phones work with AOL, Yahoo! and Windows Live instant messengers. You can also link to other phones or computers using Bluetooth 2.0. Once you have named your phone and connected to Bluetooth, you can search for devices to pair with. After pairing, you can trade photos, songs and other files between the two devices. Bluetooth will also let you connect to a wireless headset for hands-free calls.
Camera and Internet
The E71 and E71x both feature a 3.1-megapixel digital camera with an LED flash for difficult lighting situations. The highest possible photo resolution for the phone is 2,048 pixels by 1,536 pixels, though the LCD display screen only allows for a resolution of 320 pixels by 240 pixels. These phones are capable of connecting to the Internet through GPRS, Edge, 3G or Wi-Fi connections. The maximum Internet speed is 3.6 megabits per second.
More Features
The E71 and E71x both have the Symbian 9.2 operating system and use the 369-megahertz ARM 11 processor. The phones use a WAP 2.0 Web browser and have voice dialing so you can record a prompt and dial a number with a verbal command. There is also a voice recorder for taking memos and conference call capability to connect more than two parties at once. You can view documents created in Microsoft Word programs and open music or movie files with the media player.
