E71 - Finally Here!

So, i finally received my Nokia E71. Extreeeeemely lovely and sexy gadget! In no way does it compare to my previous Moto Q9h - well, in some features. For example, I am already starting to miss the Calender in the q9h. Windows Mobile got the calender perfectly right. I had expected to find the following features, which I still cant see:
  • In the message list, ability to select multiple messages on the go, for the purpose of forwarding, deleting or other function.
  • Same for e-mail.
  • Home screen - ability to display more than 1 upcoming appointment.
The battery life is lovely. 5 days going, and its about to drain now, yet I am a relatively heavy user!

There are already many reviews there, so I wont re-invent the clock. I am a power user, so will update this page regularly with tips, tricks, hacks and tweaks, especially for Linux and OS X Leopard.

Bye-bye Q9h: Hello Nokia E71 or Apple iphone 3G

My Moto Q9h is not even 1 year in my posession, and I cant wait to donate it to some poor soul and get myself a new gadget! I am a fan of qwerty key-pad smartphones, and most importantly, they should not use a stylus. The next logical choice here remains the latest Nokia e71. I am thinking of the iphone 3G too, but it apparently lacks some basic functionality that is available in other gadgets of the same price. (Copy+Paste, Bluetooth file transfer, FM tuner, flash-enables browser, etc).

So, It appears that I remain with no choice but to go Nokia - the E71. I will provide a detailed review once I have it in my paws!
