My wife and I both got new unlocked Nokia's a few weeks ago. I love this phone. It replaces a Motorola Razor V3 and my Palm T3. This phone is beautiful and metal! The screen is very easy to read even out in daylight ( I always had trouble with my Motorola in the sun). There are a few functions I have not yet been able to get working yet (primarily Internet phone) but everything is easy to set up. I found an app from StyleTap that allows me to use most of the apps I had on my Palm T3. This alllows me to use many of those apps on my phone, especially the data bases I have set up, and many neat games. Of course I can't use a stylus, but that has not been too much of a problem. My T3 needs mechanical repair and won't let me make stylus input anyway. One thing I really like about the Nokia is the ability to multitask, something the iPhone can't do. The phone works perfectly. Calls are clear and I have no contract remaining with AT&T so I was able to modify my current plan to include unlimited calls, messages, media messages and data for just $30 a month a $15 increase from the plan I was using for the Razor which allowed limited calling and data. If I had bought an iPhone under AT&T plan, I would have paid about the same for a locked iPhone, but a data only plan of $30 is required by AT&T for that phone. I get perfect 3G connections and I am also able to connect to my home network and other WiFi networks with a few clicks of the keypad. The keypad is small, but full QUERTY. I hated texting on the Razor but really like it on the Nokia. I have figured out how to get my big hands to work the tiny keys. The camera is easy to use and takes better pictures than my Razor did. This phone even has an FM radio! So in summary, this phone is fully customizable, has clear voice and is a great geeky smart phone.

I got this phone for my wife for christmas, she absolutely love it!! It is not bulky, and it has a sleek and business like appearance. There is so much you can do with this phone. I liked it so much that I ended up getting me one too. The price was right as well. Amazon's price was by far the cheapest! Highly recommend!!

I have had several phones over the years. The last few being, the iPhone (stolen whilst I slept on the subway!!), 8525 (or the slide) and a blackberry. Although, I have to say I did like the touch screen of the iPhone, I found I am not missing it as much as I thought. The iPhone didn't have copy, cut and paste, which although the E71 does, it's not as flexible as Blackberry.I am a business user, so I have connected my E71 to my companies GoodLinks account, which provides me with instant access to my works outlook email, along with customizable RSS feeds, notebook, contacts etc.For the gadget lover, there is a barcode scanner program built in, although I have played around testing it out, I haven't had it match anything yet. From what I know, you can scan items and then see other places where you can get it cheaper etc. There is a feature that will have your E71 read out you emails and texts to you with a choice of male or female voices, could be a nice feature if you multi task, but for me, it hasn't really been needed (except to show my friends with iPhones, that my phone is better...lol) It also has MP3 player and Video to name a few.Connection is fast, it has 3.5G I am with At&t and although, they are OK, they are not normally the best for coverage here in NY, but this phone holds the signal well.The camera is a little disappointing. It has a reddish tint to it. I am unsure if it is just my phone, and I don't know anyone with an E71 to compare. There are plenty of features for the camera, color mix (yes, I tried to adjust, so as to compensate), flash, B&W/Sepia etc If anyone has a way to correct this, contact me at ttStone.com/contact/I found the GPS to be fairly accurate, although I remember the iPhone being near perfect. The volume and sound quality on this phone is the best I have heard. I can play some MP3's and my colleagues can hear clearly the music that is being played 40 feet away (it's not a busy office, but hey, that was way better than my previous phones)The construction is awesome, real metal back (looked like carbon effect in pics, but this isn't so) looks great though. The protective screen finally came off 2 weeks ago, I didn't replace, but not a single scratch from being in my pocket.To put it simply, this is not an iPhone, it is a business phone. It has items that would get any iPhone child going nuts for, but Nokia chose not to highlight them, which is wise, as this really is for the more sophisticated business user or the person that needs quality and effectiveness, rather than balloons and whistles.O yeah, I installed Skype on there (and it works! A little slow, and no video, but...it works)[...]

What can I say, the E71 is great! The build quality is outstanding, a very solid phone with no squeaks or loose parts. The only thing you need to do is get the new firmware update which was released in early DEC. '10 & then your good to go.

it has all the features blackberry's and the iphone 3g have. however, the e71 is much smaller than both (just put the e71 side to side with the blackberry curve and the iphone and they both look like monsters compared to the e71).- very fast 3G capability- excellent size, feel, and look,- speedy processor with no lag in navigation- improved OS and great computer connection software (nokia pc suite)- long battery life- 3MP camera with flash- comes with carrying case, carrying strap, stereo earphones, and data cable

I have one problem with this phone and that is the battery life. It only lasts about two days, but I guess that is because I like to use the satelite imagery a lot. Apart from that the phone is very good.

I won't restate why so many people adore this phone -- it's very well-documented.I got rid of this phone and replaced with a BlackBerry 8900 and the difference is night and day. The 8900 for my money is far superior.Do you like Facebook? Pandora? True push email that works without fuss? Threaded, conversational text messaging? A great 3.2 MP camera with auto-focus that takes good pictures? Well, if so, the Nokia e71 doesn't do any of those things.Facebook/Pandora, there's no app for Symbian. Nokia's "Mail for Exchange" works well if crudely. But want Gmail, Yahoo, or any other web-based or IMAP/POP mail to show up on the Nokia as it arrives? No can do. Sure, there are 3rd party apps like Seven or Nokia's Email, but I found the battery to drain in short order when those things were running. I also found those add-ons to make the OS unstable. Had to reboot the phone 1-2X/week.I found the camera to take grainy, purple-hued pictures.Oh yeah, a 2.5 mm headphone jack just adds insult to injury. So if you want to use your own headphones, you'll need an adapter to add bulk and noise.Further, I found that it lost 3G signal constantly in my home. The antenna is located in the base of the handset, so if you hold the phone by the base, you will lose a few bars of reception.In other words, I didn't find the phone to even be that reliable for calls. As you're on the phone, the crude OS fills your ears with beeps as you "lose packet connection" or the phone puts "packet connection on hold" or lose your radio signal all together. I was often very frustrated by this expensive piece of hardware.Now it wasn't all bad. It's unlocked, so you don't need to sign a contract. It is built very solidly, with lots of steel and chrome. It's very slim, so easily fits in your pocket.But initial pleasure with the phone turned to displeasure because of all of the aforementioned points.Couldn't want to get rid of it. The 8900 is superior in almost every regard.

Overall the phone is very good. However, although it is an unlocked phone, it is made for the US market and only works with US sim cards. At least this seems to be the case for me. The phone does not support my Turkish sim card (Turkcell). When i called the Nokia Customer Service, they said they cannot do anything.Update: It turned out that my simcard was corrupt. The phone works very well with international simcards. Sorry for the inconvenience...

I just LOVE it! I'm not going to write a super extensive review as other people has.Let me tell you I spent around 3 weeks checking out other devices and I saw this one as a very strong option.Nokia doesn't have the reputation a blackberry has when it comes to smartphones, so I read all the reviews that you may find out there about this phone and it's true what they say: it's so easy to fall in love with this phone in so little time. My brother saw mine and he bought himself another within a week.As for the hardware, I can't ask for more. Solid device! and the metal finish makes it look very professional and has impressed several of my friends so far. It doesn't look cheap at all.It can do pretty much anything you usually need. GPS is great. Web browsing with Opera Mini is great. Google Maps works amazing. Sports Tracker lets you go out for a run and track time, speed, altitude, route, etc.For texting of course, this is a great device. I rarely miss type something.The only reason I'm giving this phone 4/5 stars is because its vibration is not that strong. You can barely tell it's vibrating. If you depend on vibration only (no sound) then this may not be the phone for you. The ringtone volume may be set to ascending as a workaround, which I like actually.Yes, it works as phone too. Voice is loud and clear, just as you may expect from a Nokia!I don't think you'll regret buying this device. Amazing!If you're not in the whole touchscreen stuff and you need a phone that is not that "sensitive" or prone to be broken, then this is phone for you.ps.After reading a couple of reviews, go with E71 instead of E71x.

This review is written after 2 months usage:I can summarize my e71 experience in four words: small and infinitely versatile.My smartphone criteria included: an unlocked, small, useful smartphone with reliable connection capabilities, good voice quality and a useable QWERTY keyboard. Other criteria included quad-band GSM and Wi-Fi. The e71 fills the bill admirably.Using the AT&T network I'm able to connect in places I could not connect before and the voice quality is superior to my wife's Blackberry. In two months I remember only one dropped call and that occurred as the signal was passed from one tower to another (in a weak signal area). The keyboard is very funcitional even for my male hands and short fingernails.The screen is smallish but that comes with selecting a smaller, pocketable phone. The build quality is outstanding and in my opinion it is (still) the best looking phone on the market. Despite the small dimensions and thin profile, it feels substantial in the hand but rides comfortably in my pocket. (I tried a couple different style belt holders but found it challenging to get the smooth surfaced phone out of the pouch quickly so I reverted to using the Nokia supplied pouch and keep it in my pocket).The Symbian OS is very functional and the e71 arrives loaded with most everything you need to get started. There are more programs on the Nokia web site and there are lots of other sites that specialize in Symbian programs. If you want to change the Nokia theme or need additional software there is plenty available both for free and for purchase. I am still looking for an acceptable Symbian tweaked web browser but otherwise I've found everthing else I need.A high pixel count camera on a cell phone is not an important feature for me. I find the 3.2 megapixel camera on the e-71 more than adequate for casual use and easy to use. Included camera software is a plus.One my favorite features of the e71 Symbian OS is the ability to segregate my business and personal life with different home pages and themes.Wi-Fi is a definite asset. It is great having the option of using the AT&T network or Wi-Fi.If your smartphone criteria is similar to mine you will find the e71 a real winner.

I loved this Nokia E71 until the Nokia Messaging application stopped working just 3 months after I received it through Amazon. So far, Nokia has not worked with me to fix it despite the fact that it is under warranty. I am very disappointed in this phone. I had used Nokias all over the world and thought they were great, but the Nokia Messaging application failure in just 3 months and Nokia's lack of interest in repairing or replacing my phone has changed my mind about Nokia phones.

I own the N800 for the last one year and it is the almost perfect device for Net, MP3 player and the occasional reading of ebooks. Though, i still was looking for a device that can also act as a phone and has wifi(i am 99% time within a wifi network, so 3g/edge is not a factor).I debated between E71, N95 and many other phones. So what sealed the deal? E71 is way smaller than any other device (iphone included) (and that too with a very easy keyboard), perfect seamless pairing with my bluetooth headphone(motorola HT820) and easy OS. I never used a symbian phone before and without much effort(no RTFM) was able to learn all functions. Though there are times when there are just too many options and i do click the wrong button.People might complain about the no-touch small screen, but to tell the truth it serves the user adequately: compared to the N800, i find, i prefer the keyboard on the E71 better than the onscreen keyboard of the N800. It serves best as the enterprise device for which it was intended for so the camera is just ok (too much purplelish), screen is small for video but the processor/OS is snappy to handle it. Though the media player is awesome, pair up with a stereo headset and voila (it also supports album art, and easy way to create playlists )! There are many good and free Symbian apps from Yahoo, Google for mail, news, maps and work good with E71. Also, the battery is huge and can last more than a day with heavy net usage. Oh and the charger is the half the size of a fat thumb!Accompanying Software is pretty good and connects seamless through via IR, bluetooth or USB. for Mp3 files there is a convertor to convert to a smaller AAC format and load to the device (one can load as MP3 too btw). I use a Sandisk 4GB microsd to store media files as the inbuilt phone memory is just about 120MB. It has a one stop app solution to handle almost all phone functions like transferring files, to reading SMS's, backing up, etc.Symbian is pretty snappy as OS and i have yet to have a 2 sec+ lag moment (which sometimes happen when switching between wifi access points). GPS is Ok and takes sometime to get a lock, but with a real nice app from Nokia called Sport tracker to track walking distance etc etc and also works with google maps.Pros: Snappy OS, excellent bluetooth capability, very good apps, on the first look i wondered 'how did they cram so much stuff in such a small package and that too with a massive 1500mah battery!'.No Cons, except perhaps the red on/off switch on the top of the phone (see it's so hard to find a fault with e71)So overall its a dream phone for me and worth much more than the going price of 350$.

I have always loved nokia, and I continue to do so but I am half way between very impressed and displeased with this product (E71). It runs much faster than the N95 (with fewer options in regards to camera quality, integrated photo-editing ability, music player/video options, and no accelerometer). I am finding though that tasks I used to be able to do on the N95 (like have browser open, switch applications to messaging, then back to home screen) throttle this device. I've had numerous times it freezes on me, or "not enough memory" when you try to read a text message from the inbox. Nothing else is running and I can open other applications fine, but as soon as I hit the inbox I get this error.I'm not sure what to make of it; I got the E71 until I could get my hands on the N900 with AT&T, but I'm thinking of going with the E72 just because I see a lot of improvements made to it (especially the 5.0MP camera, which I do miss). I do like the new OS version though, and the ability to switch between modes of work/home use, just I could go without the full memory errors and need to reboot the phone.

I like Nokia phones a lot, mostly because they have a nice software and they are easy to use. I decided to get this phone because the reasonable price and the reviews I read before. Pros: easy to use software, nice applications, great style, size, weight, keyboard is great and easy to use (not like iphone "keyboard" that is annoying), reception is excellent (I am using 3g).What I don't like: camera, pictures have really bad quality, flash does not help and it's pretty much imposible to get a picture if it's dark. This phone has 2 major issues: sometimes software gets freezed and does not respond after 10 seconds most likely, after that it works fine. The other issue is that sometimes the phone does not displays anything but the main screen, no menu, no messages, anything, to get this solved I have to turn the phone off and turn it back on, I just checked and I have the latest firmware and software so I guess the may be working on this.

Hardware Superior, OS Takes Some Time to Get Used to.PROS:Let me start off with what the most important in a phone, the call and voice quality. I live in the NYC area and the reception with this phone is superior. I have had BB, Motorola, HTC(winmo), and LG phones all within the past 3 years, and believe me it makes a difference to have a Nokia. The radios and data services speeds are unparalleled to any other 3G phone I've had. It also works well in rural areas of NY, PA, and NJ and has become my link to the office when traveling.Outside of that, this phone does everything! It even has barcode scanning software on it. The default email software is poor, but Nokia mail or Seven (which is what I use now) give me faster then BB service. Contact sync with google is like having BES, and the media playback and browser are fantastic.Build quality is very high. The phone is extremely slim and a bit heavy, but not so much where it is a bother. Battery lasts well over 2 days with normal use. Heavy use and your going to need a spare if you don't bring a charger. Not a big deal as you can pick up those and other accessories for cheap off ebay.Some other great features built in or via 3rd party: Lower Monthly AT&T Data Rates (15/mo vs 30) Loud Ringer and Speaker Phone Last.fm & FM radio /w RDS player WiFi AP mode so I can connect my ipod or Notebook (joiku) GPS Software and Mapping Quick lock through a-GPS WiFi Connectivity VoIP (I use this with my Co PBX) Flash video compliant Video Conferencing Front side camera. Tons of 3rd party games and appsCons:Negatives are minimal and most can be overcome as well. The OS is a bit tricky at first (I was too programed to using a BB). Once you become familiar with it you'll like it better. The 2.5mm headset jack is a bit of a pain and the headset that comes with the phone is awkward as one headphone wire is shorter in wire then the other. The D pad is a bit close to the quick buttons and can make it hard to navigate with gloves. The charger port is a pain. I don't know why they didn't use the microUSB port to charge as well. This was an oversight in my opinion.At the price of 280 or less you will not be disappointed.

I think the title sums up the review. I doubt there are better phones for this value in the market. When I bought it, it was about $350. It was still undoubtedly the best in its class.Picture quality is not as good as that of a camera. Music quality is not as good as a music player.

This phone meets all of my needs and expectations and then some. The things I love about it most:- Battery life. I get 8 days on a charge, even when using 3G, Wifi, texting and calling regularly. I don't use Bluetooth or the GPS too much, so those might affect your battery life. Still, the battery on this thing is really impressive.- Keyboard. I have large hands, and my first day with this phone, I definitely had my share of typos. That ended pretty quickly though and now I'm a typing machine.- Screen. It took me weeks to realize that I hadn't removed the little plastic film on the screen as I'd been using the phone the whole time. It even looked great through that plastic, and now it looks even nicer without it.- microSDHC support. I put an 8 GB card in there I picked up for another $20 or so and I can't imagine lacking for storage now.Despite my 5 star rating (because for me it's a 5 star device), it does have a shortcoming or two. They don't detract from my enjoyment of the device, but I think the more information you have, the better informed a purchase you can make:- The camera is just not good. I have yet to take a good looking picture with it. The colors always seem off to me and there are noticeable artifacts.- Software selection. I'm in the US, but I think the S60 operating system is much more popular in Europe, and it shows in the software catalog available for this phone online. Many of the apps you'll find are Euro-centric (for example, soccer score tracking or European news sites). I found a variety of apps that provide all I need from the device, but if you're the kind that likes having lots of choice, you may be let down. That said, this phone does run J2ME applications and it also includes the Nokia web runtime that lets you run web widgets (Google for Nokia WRT to find out what that's all about).All in all, I think people looking for a powerful phone with a full QWERTY keyboard would get a lot of use out of the E71.

I bought a Nokia E71 hoping to replace my SE K550i. Main reasons for looking for a replacement was to have a Qwerty keyboard, 3G connectivity, GPS, being unlocked, Quad-phone, video conference capability, a decent set of commercial or free application availability, especially editing MS Word type documents, expansion (via memory cards) and a decent camera.I am happy with E71 - EXCEPT the camera. When it was originally advertised, the 3.2Mp camera seemed too tempting to have and sounded as a nice upgrade from my SE K550i - Boy I was wrong :( the 2Mp pictures my SE K550i was/is taking are much much better compared to E71. There is NO COMPARISON - it is THAT BAD. Everybody who owns an E71 now complains on Nokia forums or similar platforms and everybody is hoping and praying for a software update with a firmware from Nokia so the problem will be fixed. Until then, the problem (the picture quality is horrible) is there.The connectivity is very nice - you can even use E71 without a simcard for Web Surfing. It finds the wireless connection points really fast, call quality is nice, sound is very decent, A-GPS is amazingly fast and the Nokia Maps software is very nice (though expensive for an online service in my opinion) - the Google Maps works as a champ with no turn by turn voice help (if you don't care). Some reported that Germin XT is another option to have already downloaded maps to avoid online expense in addition to the data charges. The default browser is very nice and fast. Opera Mini and even firefox mobile are available for E71. The office software that comes with the phone, when updated, is capable of editing/creating MS Office 2007 compatible docs/spreadsheets and presentations. The device has bluetooth 2 compatible and also works as a hotspot itself for other devices such as your laptop when JoikuSpot software (I am using the paid version but a free light version is available) is used.Other than the camera problem the phone is very very nice and capable. Unless you are looking for a nice camera phone, then this is a nice smartphone - if the camera is important - then don't buy it now (nov 2008) - wait until there is any software fix that will address the issue.If camera is important then SE 850i is a nice 3G , unlocked phone option (if it was not that Qwerty keyboard I almost bought one) with a nice price tag (online) after some search.Hope this proves useful

May 5, 2009 Update: I have lived with the E71 for about 3 months now. It's a good phone, but I like the iPhone better. So today I went out and bought an iPhone 3G. The graphics on the E71 just can't compare. Plus the iPhone has so many great applications that Nokia just does not have. My call quality issue arose from a problem with at&t, that they are working on at my office. It seems better now. The 3G iPhone is quite a bit better than the 2G version I had.Original Review: I owned a 2G Iphone for about a year, and was getting frustrated by the Iphones bugginess and poor phone quality. So I decided to go phone hunting and settled on the E71. These 2 phones are very different. The Iphone has great graphics and nice applications, but is a pretty basic device. The E71 is a more powerful device, with less graphics ability, but is a better phone. And that was my primary need, #1 a good phone, and #2 a PDA. The Nokia excels at both.I like the VOIP options of the E71. The music player is good too, and can use up to an 8GB micro SD card for music storage.Setting up my Gmail and exchange server accounts was fast and easy.The E71 battery lasts at least twice as long as my 2G Iphone.The call quality is the best of any phone I have owned. I am very happy with the switch. I even switched my SIM card back to my Iphone last week to see how I felt about the Iphone. I switched back to the E71 at lunch. I missed the E71, and I don't like the touchscreen keypad of the Iphone.The E71 is not an Iphone and is not really comparable. The E71 is more like a turbocharged Treo or Blackberry. The Iphone has better graphics, and if you need graphics, the Iphones the better choice. But the E71 is more stable and does not require rebooting, which my Iphone did.I also like the physical size and feel of the E71. It's lighter and thinner than the Iphone. It also seems very well built.The GPS works great and is a lifesaver. You can also use google maps.

first a comparison to the e61i: i had both the e61 and e61i and this is a major improvement over both. the form factor is incredible as it is only 10mm thin, much narrower than its predecessors, and feels very solid and sleek with its all metal body. the phone is just beautiful to look at. nokia has improved its processor greatly and the phone has almost no wait time with all its functions now. when i went back to use the e61i, it was unbearably slow compared to the e71. the keypad on the e71, although a little cramped, feels good on the fingers. one of my biggest complaints about the e61i was that earphone speaker was hard to hear out of, but the e71's narrower body and seemingly louder speaker solves the problem. the e71 has also added a microUSB port, and 2.5mm earphone jack. in terms of software, the e71 has an updated symbian os that includes some additional features and programs that were pleasant to see. the biggest program improvements for me was the updated organizer and the shortcut key options. for all e61 and e61i users out there, the e71 is a must update to nokia's wonderful line of phones.comparison to competitors: function-wise, it has all the features blackberry's and the iphone 3g have. however, the e71 is much smaller than both (just put the e71 side to side with the blackberry curve and the iphone and they both look like monsters compared to the e71). i have no complaints with the 3g and 3.5g (umts/hsdpa), and I'm not sure what the other reviewer was talking about-- it must be a network/area dependent problem. i live in the SF bay area and i almost always connect to the 3.5g network with att and the internet is extremely fast, comparable to web browsing on a computer with broadband cable access. i really dont like the all touch screen of the iphone, so i would never consider it. i was debating between the curve and e71, but e71 beats it in both function and form-factor. the e71 has a umts/hsdpa, 3mp camera, and better battery life. all the rest (OS mainly) is just up to personal preference.concluding remarks: if you ask "why should I get the e71", i would answer with these points based on what "I" feel is most important:- very fast 3G capability- excellent size, feel, and look,- speedy processor with no lag in navigation- improved OS and great computer connection software (nokia pc suite)- long battery life- 3MP camera with flash- comes with carrying case, carrying strap, stereo earphones, and data cable- and lastly, did i mention that this is the most beautiful i have ever seen? see one for yourself (i know its hard b/c they dont really have them in stores) and you will love the look and feel of it.

I've been searching for a solid business smart phone for some time. The key criteria was first and foremost solid phone reception in an area that can have spotty coverage due to many hills plus strong battery life. I also needed solid syncing capability to my work calendar (Oracle Calendar), a very strong web browsing experience, and well designed contacts and call management. I must say that the Nokia e71 has excelled in each of these areas and the battery life is amazing (2 days solid with no charging). The main screen (Home Screen) is very well designed and more customizable than any other smart phone I have seen including the iPhone (which I also like very much). The extent to which this phone and its menu options can be tailored to meet your unique needs is impressive. The keyboard is small but eminently usable and the weight and thinness of this phone is incredible. This is one phone that I carry in a pouch in my pocket and not on my belt -- which is a first. The speaker phone is very decent ... not as strong as a Blackberry I used previously ... but respectful. And the call clarity and reception is a major plus for this phone. I loved my iPhone but dropped calls more than I would have preferred. Not so with this phone ... I've gotten consistently good reception. The included web browser is very usable and Opera Mini is also excellent (a free download). The email client on this phone -- which I use for IMAP4 -- is decent but I find it can occasionally be slow in updating or syncing with my corporate e-mail. Also, the calendar sync works well, but there is no auto-sync capability (you have to initiate the sync directly although that's easily done). Not a deal killer for me, but the email functionality needs some further refinement (perhaps a firmware update is coming on this one) and Nokia really does need to add an autosync feature for the syncml client so it can for example run once in the morning and once in the evening without user intervention to keep your phone's calendar in sync with the office. But in the end, there is no perfect smart phone ... but this seems to me to be one of the most solid one's out there based on my own extensive research and hands on testing. Excellent build quality, very rich functionality, and a reliable phone connection. I'm well satisfied. Nokia seems to have a winner here and if you have a Mac, the sync support to the Mac platform is an added plus. Good luck in your search for the perfect phone!

Some notes to consider for this phone:3G -- Despite Amazon saying this is the US Version of the phone (which it is,) this phone does NOT work with T-mobile 3G in the US. T-Mobile 3G in the US uses the 1700 mhz spectrum (you can read on wikipedia as for the reasons why) and there are no 3G roaming agreements with AT&Ts 3G spectrum like there is with EDGE. That being said, I have found that EDGE is fast enough for my web browsing and e-mail use (220 kbps+.) Using GSM/EDGE only also more than doubles your battery life, so this is not an entirely bad thing for T-Mobile users. The 10 hours talk-time and 17 day standby is no joke with GSM either.Network Settings -- Nokia has a great website that will text you all the internet, voicemail, and MMS settings for your carrier to the unlocked phone.Bluetooth Tethering -- This phone does not tether with Mac OS 10.4 Tiger. It does tether perfectly with 10.5 Leopard. It tethers with Windows XP via included Nokia PC Suite. It would be nice if a Mac suite were included from Nokia but Apple provides everything necessary with Leopard. It obviously tethers perfectly with Nokia N800/N810.GPS -- The GPS in the phone is first class with both an actual GPS receiver and assisted GPS through cell tower. It works much better than my TomTom One especially indoors. The phone comes with a great program called Maps but the only drawback (and it is a HUGE drawback) is that you have to pay a monthly fee to use any sort of route guidance. You're allowed to see your position and browse maps for free but if you want to plan a route it costs extra. It comes with a 7 day trial that you should save for emergencies in my opinion.Networks in General -- This phone works great on both AT&T and T-Mobile but each has their drawbacks. AT&T has the faster network but limits you to 5Gb/month bandwidth and charges extra to tether. T-Mobile allows actual unlimited data on EDGE and allows free tethering to any device but has the slower "2.75G" EDGE data network. Wifi is available on the phone and works flawlessly.Third Party Apps -- Two must have apps are the S60 Divx player and the Slick IM client (AIM, Jabber, Etc.) The Nokia mail client works great and a third party solution is not necessary.All in all this is a first class phone whose only missing feature is a touch screen. Depending on your need for a QWERTY keyboard I would say this and the N95 are battling it out for best phone in the world right now.
