    Nokia E71 is a powerful business tool - in fact it is one of the most capable we’ve ever seen. Plus, it has completed the demanding task of adding style and slick looks to the QWERTY messenger breed. The performance of Nokia E71 is praiseworthy, save for the below-par camera.

    Rarely has a handset had us so impressed so quickly as the E71. The Nokia messenger seems a great purchasing option if you’re after a device of this kind. We still feel a fair warning is due for those upgrading from E61 - the keypad and screen of E71 are notably smaller. If they can live with that though, nothing stands between them and the pure messenger power unleashed. As for the ones who like the business features but aren’t so much into QWERTY keyboards - E66 is the way to go.

    We admit to a tinge of excitement over a great rivalry shaping up with BlackBerry Bold. But it’s fair to say that at this point every day of Bold delay is Nokia’s gain, securing the E71 stand as the single ruler of the QWERTY messenger realm. It seems at least one long wait was well worth it.
