Which is odd because BestBuy used to sell unlocked E71 handsets (one of the best phones Nokia ever made) for 60-70% of the European retail price! They are like BlackBerries but actually good.
I got mine for $250 SIM free, no contract. It worked fine on AT&T and T-Mobile (US).
They also made an AT&T specific locked version called the E71X which had horrific software deformities and was much more expensive.
- baby 16y agoI own a E71 and I don't get the "one of the best phones Nokia ever made", maybe I'm mis-using it ?
- jzycrzy 16y agoI've used my e71 for over a year and am very satisfied with it. I bought it unlocked in the US and have used it on international travel (switching sim cards) without hassle. The single best factor is the ability to choose which data connection I want an app to use (ex. 3g, wifi, MSM data, etc). There are 2 "apps" that are the main benefit. (1) Fring allows me to have video conference calls through skype (basically an early "Facetime", apple in no way is the first one to bring this to the mobile phone). (2) Joikuspot, which allows me to tether my 3G data to wifi. Any number of machines can use the wifi-hotspot that this creates. Oh, and i like being able to push buttons. I guess I'm old skool. ；）
