Please don't let AT&T and Nokia do to the E71 what they did to the E61 when the E62 was "designed". Make a difference by signing the online petition at [www.petitiononline.com]

Thank you.

@mangochutney: I second that, I use an E90, but the E51 for the price & features packed-in the phone was simply unbelievable and I had to find the catch, but there was none. I'm definitely getting the E71 for my dad because of its large screen.

@golferal: You my friend are one blind maggot.

Time to replace my hardworking E61.

Hehe, it looks as if my E51 put on a lot of weight.
But if it's half as good as aforementioned it'll blow away most of the competition.

This looks like a Nokia E61i after a visit to the plastic surgeon :) I like it.
Thinner, with a bezel that the iPhone introduced, but with a hardware keybard and BB support, true GPS, 3G, wifi routing, mms.

This will give a nice competition to the BB9000. I really don't like my 8800's trackball.. You can never aim with a sure outcome (like "two rows down, six letter to the left')

The e61i rocks (note the "i", it makes a difference even in non-apple land) . Very happy with it. But it needs to be replaced. I always need 2 phones minimum for when I break one. This should be a nice backup for a 3g iPhone!

My e61i is nice, but the e71i looks like it got even more stylish with some cues from the iPhone/iPod Touch.

@hammertime1994:

And these are not that expensive even unlocked, if past experience is a guide. The newest QUERTY smart phones usually cost 200-300 with a 2 year contract.

The Palm Centro called and it wants its design back.

Maybe it is just me, but pretty much every non-flip phone looks alike. Pick the number of buttons you want (1-45), color (as long as it is black or silver), your favorite manufacturer (RIM, Apple, Nokia, WiMo, Palm), and your least hated cell phone carrier, and you have your device. Thanks for shopping.

JUNK. These sorts of communicators are on their way out. All hail the bongphone.

please stop with the "it looks like. . ." What the heck else do you want a qwerty phone to look like. I know you are pining for the wang-shaped qwerty phone, but get over it.

It would be very nice if AT&T decided to pick this up, I would happily replace my E62 with it.

Too bad none of the U.S. carriers will ever carry it.
