Released in 2008, the Nokia E71 is part of the company's extensive line of smartphones and comes with a variety of features, including a built-in digital camera and GPS application. Becoming familiar with the E71's specifications and features will help you find tips for getting the most out of the phone.
Battery Tips
A standard lithium-ion battery, when fully charged, provides the Nokia E71 with up to 480 hours, or 20 days, of standby time and up to 10.5 hours of talk time. Compared to similar devices on the market at the time of publication, these times rank above the 448-hour average for standby time and the seven-hour average for talk time. It's important to understand that these times are produced in an ideal laboratory setting and not in real-life situations. By disabling the phone's Wi-Fi and GPS capabilities and minimizing the screen's brightness level you can help maximize the phone's battery life and bring it closer to the times reported by the manufacturer.
Wi-Fi Tip
Using the Nokia E71's Wi-Fi feature can save you money. Most wireless service providers require subscription to a data plan that gives the phone access to the Internet using the provider's 3G wireless network. By using the E71 to access the Internet within range of a Wi-Fi hotspot, such as at home or work, you can purchase the least-expensive data package from your provider. This will give you unlimited access to the Internet for the price of a small smaller data allotment.
Memory Tips
With 110MB of data storage space, needing to add memory to the Nokia E71 is more of an eventuality than a possibility. Using the phone's micro-Secure Digital card slot, you can give the phone up to 8GB of expanded memory, creating more room for adding large-scale files, such as videos, photos and applications. The E71 supports microSD cards, which offer up to 2GB of memory, and high-capacity microSD cards, which provide between 2GB and 32GB of memory, up to its 8GB limit. You can maximize the phone's memory by occasionally checking the phone's contents for unused or unwanted files and deleting them.
Bluetooth Tips
The Nokia E71 comes with a variety of Bluetooth profiles that allow you to perform several wireless tasks, such as transferring files and hands-free calling. The headset profile (HSP) and hands-free profile (HFP) allow you to place and receive calls using either the phone's speakerphone or a wireless headset. The object push profile enables you to share files with another similarly equipped device. The file transfer profile (FTP), not to be confused with the File Transfer Protocol, allows you to not only share files with another device, but to view the files on the device with which the E71 is communicating.
