The Nokia E71 is a smartphone released in July 2008. It has received several accolades and honors, including Mobile Choice Consumer Awards' 2008 Phone of the Year and the GSMA Awards' Best Mobile Handset or Device of 2009. The E71 comes equipped with many amenities, such as quick access to menus, applications and settings; music player capabilities; mobile Web Internet access; and of course, basic call functions. All of these options are relatively simple to use. With simple navigation through the phone's menu, its features and functions are just a few buttons away.
