Hardware wise, I suppose I can't fault the build quality. But the form factor and controls - a tiny screen and a NSEW joystick were very limiting. The keyboard was tiny but worked pretty well. But it was definitely the software that ruined it for me. Opera mobile wasn't terrible but it was really hobbled by the navigation hardware.
- samstokes 16y agoThe screen and joystick are certainly inferior to a touch screen for web browsing. However, I love the keyboard, and can't see how you could have a keyboard that good with a large touch screen. (QWERTY sliders are all right, but you can't use them one-handed, and the form factor just seems less natural.) So I would agree that if web browsing is more important to you than typing, the E71 is not an ideal device. I do a lot of both, and find it's a great balance.
