This GPS-enabled phone can access the AT&T Navigator service for turn-by-turn directions as well as its Video Share serve, which enables you to send video of yourself to another compatible phone while making a voice call. 
The svelte stainless steel Nokia E71x keeps you mobilized with a broad range of personal and professional messaging needs. | 
The amazingly slim Nokia E71x measures just 10mm (0.39 inches) thin. |  | It also includes integrated Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11b/g) for accessing open networks at work, at home, and on the road from a variety of wireless hotspots. Other features include a 3.2-megapixel camera/camcorder, Bluetooth for handsfree devices and stereo music streaming, MicroSD memory expansion (up to 8 GB), and up to 5 hours of talk time on standard GSM networks. AT&T Service
This AT&T phone can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T's 3G mobile broadband data network, which is available in most major metropolitan areas. The AT&T 3G network uses the dual-band 850/1900 MHz 3G network (UMTS/HSDPA), which provides download speeds ranging from 700 Kbps to 1.7 Mbps, and upload speeds ranging from 500 Kbps to 1.2 Mbps. This makes it possible to enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless multimedia services, and it gives you the advantage of offering simultaneous voice and data services. In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average data speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go. You'll also enjoy quad-band GSM connectivity, which allows you to make calls in more than 190 countries and access data applications in the more than 135 countries where AT&T offers international data roaming. With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access AT&T's Video Share service, which enables you to send a live, one-way video stream to another compatible phone during a standard voice call. The service also allows you to switch the direction of the video stream during the same phone call. (Customers must be in an area served by the company's 3G network and have a Video Share-enabled phone.) While using Video Share with family and friends is a fun way to communicate, it's also very useful for business. For example, a majority of users in the architecture, engineering and construction industries rated the ability to share live video through Video Share highly, according to research commissioned by AT&T. Video Share lets you see progress on a job site or review the day's work without having to drive from an office or other site to do so. You can take advantage of the AT&T Navigator GPS software and service, a full-featured premium navigation application that includes audible turn-by-turn directions, real-time traffic updates and re-routing options, and 3D moving maps (additional charges applicable). AT&T Navigator offers several other features to make your commute more enjoyable and reliable, including mobile access to Yellowpages.com. Additionally, AT&T Navigator is the only mobile phone-based GPS service that provides integrated speech recognition for address entry and points of interest search. With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access AT&T's Cellular Video (CV) service and the Internet while on the go. Cellular Video features content from CNN, The Weather Channel, iFilm, Comedy Central and exclusive premium content from HBO and much more. And you get access to AT&T Mobile Music, which enables you to buy tracks while on the, access the Napster and eMusic subscription music services, stream music video, discover what's playing with Music ID song-recognition software, and find out what's hot with The Buzz music news portal.

 REALLY Nokia? August 5, 2010
Kili (Washington, DC)
I love this phone.... or at least I would if Nokia supported the blackberry client -- they don't and it won't load on their phones. Apparently Nokia has decided that they don't like RIM and so aren't going to work with them. That makes this phone a bust for anyone who needs to use it for work and works for a firm that uses blackberry server for push e-mail. When I bought this phone, I didn't need blackberry on it... I've since taken a job where I needed it, and couldn't load it. No matter how much I love the OS, the functionality and the layout of Nokia's phones.... this is the last one I'm going to buy until they get over their blackberry aversion.
The keyboard is highly usable, I find the interface perfectly intuitive and easy to use (but then my previous phone was a Nokia e70, so it wasn't a major change there) and was able to configure it to suit myself and load apps I needed (other than the blackberry client issue).... this was my third Nokia phone -- but it's also my last.
If you don't need to use blackberry services to sync with your jobsite, then this could be a good phone for you - if you need it for work though -- move on to something else, this isn't going to cut it.
 Still the best smartphone for the price June 26, 2010
K. Brower (USA)
I did a lot of research before I bought this in December 2009 and even though it had already been out for a few years it is still one of the best smart phones on the market. It is metal and very slim so the quality jumps out at you when you hold it. It runs smooth and fast and is very stable. I really liked the idea of running Symbian since it is open source, there are a lot of apps for this phone and they don't all have to come from the manufacturer. Although right after i bought this they came out with android which may be better I don't know. This takes good pictures and video and has great call quality. Again I can't stress enough the quality feel of this phone. Other phones (including Blackberry) feel like cheap plastic toys compared to this. My only complaints are the changes At&t made when they changed it from the E71 to the E71x. Supposedly the only difference is that it has At&t maps and email but actually they reprogrammed the hard keys so the email button will only go to their email program which is not as good as Nokia's. But you can still install and use Nokia mail you just have to put a shortcut to it on your main page. Also occasionally when the phone gets bumped it freezes up and says "Sim card not found" or something. This happens less and less as time goes on but it is still an annoyance. If I had the money at the time I would have bought the unlocked E71 from Nokia, but for $300 less I can live with the minor issues I have with the E71x. Actually if I had the money now I would buy the E72 unlocked which is identical except it has a 5 mp camera and a 3.5 mm headphone jack instead of 2.5 mm. That is my only other complaint, you have to get an adapter to go from 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm if you want to plug in headphones, but I got around this by just getting blue-tooth headphones.
 Does a lot. Does nothing well. May 31, 2010
Jungle Explorer (Lubbock, Texas USA)
Pros: Small with a solid feel to it.
Cons: OS is crap. Reciever is the worst I have ever used. Camera is a joke. GPS is usless. WiFi is just as usless.
Summary: Here are the FACTS about this phone. No hype here. I have owned this phone and used it heavily for 5 months. It has a lot of neat features, but it does not do anything well.
THE RECIEVER. The receiver is very weak and drops calls constantly. To see it if was actually the phones fault I started carrying 3 other phones that I had, a Motorola V180, a Samsung Sync, and a Samsung Blackjack. In areas where this phone showed no signal, all the other phones were able to make calls with the V180 showing 4 out 5 bars of signal in some cases. I did this test by switching out the same sim card to each of the phones.
THE CAMERA: I was really looking forward to having a camera that could take decent photos in a pinch and this phone comes with a 3.2MP camera. The first pics I took with this camera in full auto mode looked as bad as ones taken with a standard VGA camera phone like the Motorola V3. The camera software is worthless in auto mode. The only way to take a viewable picture with this camera is to adjust the settings manually. And you must turn the LED flash off! It turns every picture hazy and blue if you don't. I tested this camera against the Samsung Sync (1.2MP), the Blackjack (1.2MP) and a Blackberry Tour (3.2MP). After taking multiple pictures of the same scene with all the phones in auto mode. I loaded the pictures to my laptop and had panel of three judge?s vote on them. The blackberry tour won hands down and the n71x lost. The results were
#1 Tour
#2 Sync
#3 Blackjack
#4 N71x 4.
(Only after manually adjusting the settings on the n71x was I able to come close to the quality of the blackjack.)
WIFI: After 5 months of trying, I have yet to be able to use it successfully anywhere other then sitting right next to my home WiFi router.. If you ever do manage to get it to connect, it disconnects constantly and is extremely slow. Even on my own WiFi network, sitting 5 feet from my router I have trouble doing simple web browsing. And don't even ask my about the joke of a browser it comes with.
GPS: If you have the time to stand out under a clear sky for 10 minutes every time you want to use this GPS, it might work for you. I currently own 2 Tom Toms, 2 Garmin Nuvis, and 2 Magellan Sportraks. I have used many others. All GPS devices need a few minutes to acquire satellites the FIRST time you start them up. But once they are calibrated for your area, they should acquire satellite signal within a minute or less on subsequent uses. Not this GPS phone. It takes a full 10 minutes under a clear open sky each time you try to use it. (Even if you just used it 10 minutes earlier and turn it off). A fun feature but totally useless for any practical purpose.
TEXT MESSAGING: It takes a minimum of FIVE (Yes that is 5) actions for you to send a text message.
THE Operating System: Where do I start? I have never seen such a horrible OS. To put such a poor OS in such an advance piece of equipment is beyond my comprehension. This thing is so limited that it does not even allow you to assign customized ringtones to your contacts. You got your default ringtone and that is it baby! Even my dinosaur Motorola V180 allows me to assign a unique ringtone to different contacts. But the one thing I really hate about this OS, is file management (if you can call it that). Basically, forget trying to have any control over your files. This thing insist on doing it all for you. Yes, you can create custom folders, but you can't store anything in them using the phone. Why? Because this phone automatically puts anything you download or receive via Bluetooth into a folder called PRIVATE. The phone does have a file manager, but guess what? It cannot access the private folder! If you want to see what's in the private folder you have to take the microSD card out and read it on a computer. But it does no good to try to organize your files, because this OS does not care where your files are stored, it finds them all, organizes them all and show them ALL at the same time when you open the appropriate program to see them like the image viewer. What does this mean? Well, if you have 500 photos on your phone, all organized in to different folders for easy and quick access, the only way for you to see them is to open the image viewer and scroll through them one by one until you find the one you want. Same thing with your MP3s. And this thing does not scroll through hundreds of files fast either.
There are so many things wrong with this OS that I don't have time to list them all. But be advised!!!! The OS on the n71x is very unique. You will find very few programs that will run on it. Even program designed for the n71 will not work on the n71x. It is VERY DIFICULT to find and/or install new programs on this phone. And the programs that come with it are junk and are only there to get you to spend more money.
Well now you know what you are in for if you buy this phone.
Crappy, Crippled, and Limited App Support March 23, 2010

While the phone hardware is really good, the software is very disappointing. Do not expect Nokia Ovi apps to run easily on the E71x. Most of the time, you're lucky if something does work. I've been having major issues with installing and running apps, and in particular, Mail for Exchange (so no Google Contacts/Calendar sync). The phone also has a bunch of AT&T's crappy apps pre-installed that are overpriced and useless pieces of junk that you cannot get rid of (they'll always be in your face). The calendar is horrible, and reminders will only snooze for a fixed time (cannot choose to snooze for 10 minutes or 1 hour...). As much as I hate to say it, my old Windows Mobile phone worked much better than this. The GPS takes a long time to lock (if it ever does), and ends up being pretty useless too (what's the point of an unreliable GPS?). I really really think you should not consider buying this phone.
Doesn't live up to Nokia standards February 20, 2010
N. Sumstine (Pacific Northwest)

"Just another customer" summed up my experience well, but I decided to add a bit anyway.
First of all let me say I am an average tech person - not great, but not inept either. I did not buy the phone for the apps or the internet availability. I thought I might eventually want, if not need, some of these options. It really is more than I need in a phone. But that isn't a problem.
The reasons I chose this phone are:
*it is a Nokia (I'm a true believer or was until recently),
*it is made of steel (heavy as a brick!): My stuff gets a bit of abuse and I wanted something that wouldn't break easily,
*it doesn't have external parts that might break (slider, flip),
*it had the possibility of more functions when I wanted them, and
*it has a decent (if not perfect)calendar.
The first thing I look for is the calendar functionality. This is THE most important thing to me.
The calendar is workable, the alarms can be customized (not just 15, 30 or 60 minutes before the event). It has anniversary, to do, meeting and memo options. It has a designated calendar key, as well as "home" "phonebook" and "message" keys. The calendar is clean but the options are still a bit limiting.
Note here: I used to have a Nokia 6126 and loved it. It had the best calendar functions I have used. The one I really wanted but haven't found on any other phone yet is the call reminder on the calendar function. One could input a number either from the address book, or other, as well as set the alarm. When the alarm goes off, hit the call key (green phone) and the call is made. so simple. Why doesn't the e71 have this?
I thought the full keypad would be nice, it is. Though the keys are small, they are beveled. It takes some help figuring out the function keys, but it is easy once you know how to make it work. The ?!:;,&;.@/-+ keys are all readily available on the keypad, which is nice. I do occasionally hit the wrong key, I don't have large hands, but do have moderate length fingernails.
This phone is anti-intuitive! I have to look up how to look up how to connect things and turn on options almost every time I want to make a change (granted I don't do it often so forget from one time to the next how to connect the bluetooth or whatever).
I have a lot of problem with dropped calls - never had a problem with my old Nokia flip phone.
I was having problems with the speaker - it seemed to vibrate so the sounds/voices came through garbled.
I have all the updates. Nokia and ATT told me to reset my phone and the problems would disappear. Well, that didn't happen. I still get dropped calls, just not every other call, more like every third call. After reset I had to reconnect all my bluetooth, etc. (which means I had to look up how to do it again!) One isn't reset yet because I can't find the manual. (Sigh. I'll look again today.)
There are no headphone jack options which work for this phone. It has a micro jack, and I have a micro converter but the headphones still won't operate, it requires bluetooth headphones.
I'm glad I have a warranty because I'm going to have to send this thing back. I wish I hadn't bought it. I don't hate it, but I don't love it, thus 3 stars.
