Now that the E63 is a reality it’s tough to get excited about a crazy deal on a new E71 but… No, wait, we forgot. The E63 is is like the Star Wars prequels — a mistake that never should have seen the light of day. The E71 is still far and away one of the sexiest handsets Nokia has ever produced and those who haven’t had a taste can finally get one today for the more than respectable price of $289.99. The reduced price is part of Amazon’s Gold Box deal offers where a new item is offered at a steep discount every day. Think Woot without the snarky commentary. Today’s price is $37 lower than Amazon’s regular price and $60 lower than Nokia’s direct price but like we said, it’s only available today. Actually, at $290 we might just snag a handful of them to throw in a drawer until BAS for S60 is finally released. BAS on the Touch Pro is awesome but BAS on an E71 would be… Wow.

    I’m glad someone finally posted accurate information here. BIS only pushes email (no contacts or calendar), you need BES for that. At $3000 for a 1 user license and $4000 for a 20 user license, what a rip off!

    BB had their purpose before Exchange offered push. IMHO the only thing they have to offer now are over priced phones and another point of failure and cost in your IT infrastructure. BB should get their act together and drop their BES model and offer BB phones with native Exchange integration if they want to survive in the long run (the BES smoke-screen will only last so long).

    lol at the hostility! I like the e71 i remember a while ago they were saying there was an at&t one out in the wild. Here is the bottom line, for all you blackberry fan boys out there your phone was 200 dollar more at least, 100 more if you extended your contract. I don’t understand why people are hating on the symbian platforms appearance it looks like any phone does, but its actually smart. Symbian also doesn’t rape battery power so your phone wont die from “moderate use”. Now before a blackberry fan boy calls me special and asks me where my bus is, yes blackberry is decently battery efficient, but its not as good as symbian. End of the day the e71 is better in every way, with one exception, the keys are super close together and are easy to mess up.

    @kriscamp, I have an e71-2 that i’m gonna sell soon. I’ve never tried a blackberry and was considering getting the bold, we can trade devices if you want.

    @Tony: When Exchange can offer genuine end-to-end secured messaging, you can make the claims you just prematurely did. Until then … Not so much …
