Review: Has the BlackBerry met its match?
[2008-7-16]
Tag : SIM Card Connector
Nokia’s E71 is a corporate handset designed for messaging with a comprehensivespecification including GPS for navigation, Microsoft Exchangeemail support, a VPN for secure communication, and voice-over-IP(VoIP) for making calls over a Wi-Fi connection.
Due to become available before the end of July, the E71 is thesuccessor to Nokia’s E61 but is a slimmer and more capabledevice. With its qwerty keyboard, the new model is an obvious rivalfor RIM’s BlackBerry, but heavy email users will probablyfind it too cramped in comparison. Nevertheless, we expect that theE71 will find favour as a high-end corporate phone thanks to itscombination of features and decent battery life.
In tests, we found the E71 easier to use than previous E-serieshandsets, although there are a multitude of configuration settingsthat will make some form of management tool essential for ITdepartments planning to deploy it to users.
The handset itself is about the same size as a BlackBerry Curve , but is slightly heavier at 126g despite being noticeably thinner– no more than 10mm at its thickest point. This means userswill not need to carry a separate phone and email device, as wasnecessary with some bulkier older BlackBerry models. It also feelssturdy, thanks to its stainless steel casing. However, the E71’s compact design means its qwerty keys aresmall and closely spaced, although they have a domed profile tomake them easier to press. We have grown used to tiny phone keypadsand so had no difficulty keying in emails and text messages usingthumb typing, but colleagues that regularly use a BlackBerry saidthey found the keys too small for easy use.
