This was the first phone I bought brand new and used it daily over a year and a half. The leather pouch and lanyard are one of the best OEM accessories ever included in the box.
This phone instantly made me look rich every time I pulled it out of my pocket at the time when I bought it. Memories flashback in my head while watching this video
Thanks for refreshing my memories I had with my E71. I remember the ME version I had also came with an elegant cover with red colour inline. Those were the days😍😉
This was one of the best all rounder phones before iPhones and Samsung Galaxy S and note series became the "talk of the town". Typing on this was so nice. I am sure that blackberry bold fans will also appreciate the solid metal construction of this device. BLACKBERRY BOLD was the direct rival to this phone. Although in my opinion Nokia E71 and E72 had much better cameras and Navigation software. I wish qwerty keyboard devices make a comeback in one form or the other. Thanks for sharing this video. "OLD IS FOREVER GOLD..."
@@annoyinguser sure will.... Although I have seen a review sometime back on mr mobile TH-cam channel... its one of the last few qwerty keyboard devices on the market...the joy of typing with physical keys is irreplaceable
I owned the E72, the successor to this it was truly a prince among phones and one of my very favorites . . . in white. I never was able to master all of the configuration necessary for the phone to fully fulfill his destiny, but I sure had fun trying. Many many times. As you say, this Nokia keyboard and the ones in its family were a triumph of the company's legendary research and design.
Thank you for another trip down memory lane, pure nostalgia. my favourite Nokia device just infront of the n95. love the frame at the start, have to see if any UK availability. excellent as always
These kind of Nokia product that HMD should flooding in to the market, really elegant and high quality, some kind of a things that HMD global neglected since they are introducing feature phone of nokia.hmd global muk mafi.. anyway good job Mr Abdullah I just want to ask if it is still worthy buying the Nokia 8.3 these time before the new years come?thank you so much and more power to you're channel and to Nokia..
i am lucky enough to get the used E72 back in 2017. i still have it as music player thanks to superb audio, the camera offers a unique coloration which give me a semi vintage look
Good morning Abdulla, many thanks for the new video (quality content as always). E71 was not my favourite device as I preferred either to go with N95 for its camera or later on - for E7 for even better keyboard experience, but this is definitely outstanding device, same as all Nokia's from late 00'tees. However, my friend is turning 30 next month and you just gave me a brilliant gift idea (the frame). I think it is coolest thing I have seen in a long time! Cheers! Tom
Thanks for making this video, Abdul! I remember buying this model back in 2010. My first choice was the E75, but it was slightly more expensive, so I instead opted for the E71, which turned out to be a good choice. Great phone, brings back the nostalgia!
Aaah the memories ,one of my last 2 Nokia phones ,the other being the E90!! In days when phones were cool and different unlike the standard brick you get now!!! Cmon HMD ,bring some of these back, excellent video Mr.Nokia!!!
And that's the wonderful thing about these devices. The user-replaceable battery. Push the little button and the whole metal back plate came off and gave you access to the mSD and SIM.
I loved my E71. It's a shame your battery door is stuck - the clean click of the mechanism is really satisfying. I loved how fast and reliable that phone was. It was a rare day when it did something wrong. You're spot on about 2.5mm too. That, and the inability to charge via USB were the two biggest misses. A few years in, I decided to "upgrade" to the XpressMusic 5800, and it was terrible, with things not working, slow fixes and updates, and regular crashes. Nokia was struggling to stay relevant with changing consumer expectations in the face of dwindling revenue and market share.
I think that besides the great hardware, the software that stood out was the key to Nokia's success. That's the reason why I am sceptical about the success of the new Nokia lineup. All successful Android manufacturers have their own Android versions. Nokia has to get that!
@@AbdullaZaki Wish Nokia could somehow tieup with Android ,So a hardware giant and a software giant might give you ,same movie like feel Kong Vs Godzilla , Combined they could create something unimaginable .
Last year when I was not having a phone, I had this device with me. I was, am and will remain happy with this phone. Just as I remember using it in 2009
I remember the day my dad bought the white-on-silver Nokia E71 for himself. I remember playing that one car game (I forgot what's the game's name 😂) such a good phone ngl. Love the overall design. A few years later my dad bought me a Nokia 5300. Quite a good phone too
Dudeeeee, this is so sick! I used to tinker with these symbian devices back in the day so much. Especially E71, favourite symbian phone! I just ordered one in a trashed state, with old firmware just so that I can refurbrish it with a new housing and reflash it
Wow nice! I had the 3220 and N73 back in the day. Now I have over 500 Nokia phones that I could not afford or did not get the chance to have. E and N series Nokia were awesome!
Damn the feeling of getting a new Nokia was unparalled. Graphical boxes, cool accessories, cool system tones, new ringtones with new generations, Latest Asphalt and bounce. Small feature upgrades created waves all because of focus on innovative designs. Currently companies are focussing on minimalism, its how generation has changed. But Id if Nokia somehow is able to pull a comeback not just like anyother droid but with its OG identity. Surely many would line up. There is a generation of users waiting to explore more than mundane iphone and galaxies.
Bought a refurbished e63 since I can't find e71. My top choices were e71, n95 and n82. I really wanted to experience symbian again and e63 didn't failed me 👌
Thanks for the review. I had it years ago and now buying a used one in mint condition for around 20 euro. Wanna use it when going outside or anywhere where I don't want to have "the whole world" in my pocket so to say. Just a piece of art for the case of an emergency call or text.
Want it. But ended bought e72. It Still working btw. The audio output throughout the jack for some reason sounds better than my smartphone. Too bad the default music player can't play all my flac file.
This is what I switched to after using the iPhone 3G and being absolutely horrified by how primitive iPhones were. I had had an E61 previously. These were extraordinary phones for the era. I really loved this device.
I still wish I had this phone. I had it and I didn't have it for long, but it was the best phone I think I've ever had aside from the Note20U 5G I have now.
I still have the e72 phone, brought it unlock. Barely used it because T-mobile would come out with the e63 (red), then an exact copy of this model with the e73.
I remember modifying the Menu Animation way back and even adding Lightning, Snow effects animations on menu background on Hacked Symbian OS. Men, nostalgic.
This phone deserves to be in the mobile hall of fame, even if only for how much of a workhorse it was. Even after i had switched to android i still took the Nokia along as a notebook, because android was still very rough around the edges and did not have many note taking apps, or even native abilities to make notes.
@@DavidKen878 Unfortunately I have no experience with the e72 because I had already switched to android. As it was, my E71 had the very last software version of Symbian which was shipped with the e72. To my mind it was like taking a step backward, or staying on just for nostalgia. Nokia had already pulled the plug on mobile and I felt it was time to move on.
can you please let us know how its working today 2024 ... is there a slot for a sim card? I have kept the phone and I would love to get it working today in 2024... Any info how to do this?
Oh! Man I was very fortunate to use this specific model 7-8 years ago, vividly remember I had downloaded what's app, FB and mini gta in it within few weeks it's mic stops working and I lost mobile.
Great video 🏅 For many years ago i had a Nokia E71. It was a good and technical advanced phone at that time. Symbian S60 Nokias own version of the operating system.
I had the e66 which I thought cute but I also had an e 63 which I thought beautiful, powerful and was my favourite phone I had it for around 5 years. Gave it away to a deserving friend, but quickly missed it. I was so used to it and all its quirks that we were extensions of each other. Phones today do not have that character and beauty. The e63 looked similar to the e71 watching your video I experience a twinge of sadness these phone were great.
If I was a falampertist and someone had any of the E5-72on ebay for auction newnin the box, I'd actually woukd pay into the thousands for it. This was the best QWERTY phone I had back then. Ive even had a Blackberry, yet preferred and E Series phone from Nokia. Too bad touch screens are where its at today, but if this would make a comback, I would buy it.
It was my moms first expensive phone. it had tons of games and you could play nintendo NES emulated games. Had Opera vodaphone browser which computer web pages for mobile browser which kick started my manga reading journey.

I'm still using this in 2021 for backup phone in case my smartphone out of battery. Timeless beautiful.

is Google Play Store available? if it is, i'll buy it
Absolutely love this phone hopefully they'll remake it again as a feature phone
I hope not. Nokia's feature phones are absolutely bland now. They can't even download j2me
With the original menue icons thanks! And not with the garbage feature phone overall built
Yes, if Nokia came out with a new version of the physical keyboard phones E71/E72 or the E6 as a feature phone I'd definitely buy one or two.
Yeaah .. just give me the same with and android.. :D
This was the first phone I bought brand new and used it daily over a year and a half. The leather pouch and lanyard are one of the best OEM accessories ever included in the box.
Same here.
This was top notch design ! You brought back memories - I forgot about the pouch

Iconic. When I was younger I used to play with a dummy version of the E71 pretending it was real :’)
My sister used to use this in 2012. Nostalgia. ❤️❤️
That frame in the beginning looks very cool!
I had this phone, it was amazing and watching it here is super
Meni nokia e71 radi i dan danas u 2022. To je najbolji telefon od svih koji su ikada napravili
I'm still missing the keyboard of that phone. It had a superb keyboard. I even consider buying one just to use wireless keyboard functionality.
My dad had this phone back when it came out and it was the best

I was using Palm Treo 650 back then, and I'd say, it had better keyboard than Nokia E71. The main difference between the two of course was Palm OS. While it offered more battery life, it also had a lot less apps and features. Although, Nokia also had fun time with their Simbian OS. Nonetheless, I consider my Palm Treo the best communicator out of all I have been using.
Nokias were all flashy and very expensive, while offering questionable solutions, like these stainless steel plates which just wasn't sturdy enough to last. Not only they collected dents very easily, they would often be malformed near the edges and started to get caught in clothing. Yes, they'd look premium out of the box, if you don't use it, like, at all. But after a few months of regular use it's all gone.
And yeah, despite being 4 years older than E71, Palm offered better screen resolution, so I really had hard time seeing why would I want to buy E71 to replace it.
nokia was always ahead of time
The vibration motor is actually a camera. A front facing camera. Someone showed the front facing camera. It only work in cameraFX
I still got one of these
