Nokia E71

Don’t think of the Nokia E71 as one of the world’s smallest Qwerty smartphones (even though it is), think of it as an afternoon out of the office every week. The E71 has everything you need to turn a sunny deckchair or bustling pavement café table into an extension of your cubicle – without the possibility of being called in to a sweaty conference room for a surprise meeting.

Its stainless steel overcoat shouts build quality, a fact that’s echoed by its swift, stutter-free operation, even with multiple applications running. The E71 can read, modify and create standard Office documents on the move, and partnered with Nokia Messaging makes emailing on the move a totally fuss free afair. It even lets you access data on your home (or office) computer with Files on Ovi. The latest 3G, HSDPA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections mean you should never be without some way to connect to the connect to the world around you and tap into location based services such as Nokia Maps, while a 3.2MP camera, media player and A-GPS navigation do the same for real life.
