Nokia E71x landing at AT&T locations across the country; pricing revealed

If nokia work on their push email and add html email.. They’d be all great in my eyes. 5800 xpressmusic is my next purchase..dont need it but I want to try it until the n97.

@ buckeye

AT&T is going to screw up the firmware one way or another (installing useless AT&T crapware and removing/disabling features).

Unless they’ve changed it. If they force you onto a $30 pda plan, logon to your account on their website and switch it to the $15 unlimited media. I did a year and a half ago and they still haven’t said anything.

March 24th? Sounds like a bunk release date to me.

great and free beta version of SEVEN’s push email can be found from http://community.seven.com. Much better than Nokia’s own push email client I think and it works great with E71. Support for corporate email, gmail and hotmail etc… And it’s stable, though.

Re: RoBBold
I work for at&t and if you use this phone with the 15$ data plan, your email will not work. You need the 30$ package for it to work as blackberry phones do.

It will depend on how AT&T has you loaded in the system. If they flag your imei as one they consider a “Smartphone” then your device will need the right code for a PDA for them to allow you to get acess. If they do not have your IMEI flagged as such then it can have full access with out the PDA code. I have many customers using Non AT&T devices and with Media net and 3G and email. Including my Nokia E71 and my N95 and I used to use a SE P910 the same way.

@attREP, that is false, email will work fine with 15 dollar data plan. What you say is ONLY true for blackberry devices, because they require BIS/BES to get email, which is funny since it is a crap system anyways.

I use the N95 on the $15.00 a month data plan. It is just like RoBBold and zephxiii said.

I heard it was pushed back…any truth to this and when sould be see it on at&t site as for coming soon?

when they do launch, in May, it will require $30 data plan at a minimum. i am not sure if you will be able to change it down to a lower plan after the fact or not, what worked in the past may not work anymore they are getting better at detecting these things.

does anyone know if you can send and receive attachments with Seven’s email on the e71?

the only other thing i would like to see added to the E71 is one touch dialing for all of the keys, not just 1-9, my bold has more than 25 one touch keys and i have them all set up.

I went to my ATT store today and they did not have this phone. They hadn’t heard about it yet. I was bummed, wanted to check it out.

I’ve had the e62 for years and only pay $15+ a mo for unlimited data… if possible i will work with my local att store for the 71x, ive got an precingular att plan with a gazillion minutes built up,
they cant force me to lose my unlimited medianet plan for this pda thing can they?

As an authorized retail agent I can tell you that 1.) the phone is on back order and isn’t in stock yet, and 2.) that you dont HAVE to use the 30 pda plan, but why get a PDA without the PDA plan? Side note: can’t wait to get this phone, I have wanted one for a while.

Can the Nokia E71 / E71x sync with outlook and HOW?

I got my first shipment of AT&T E71x’s last Friday and my second shipment is due in today.

Yes you can sync with outlook with Nokia’s PC suite and a connection to your computer, bluetooth or a CA-101 micro usb data cable.
PC Suite is free from Nokiausa.com.

I have been using the E71 for 6 months now and it is a great device. Better call quality than my Bold.

Would I be able to use wifi without a data plan? I was told, “possibly, but you have to remove the sim card or you’d be charged anyway.” Is that true?

Have an unlocked E71 that I’ve been running on ATT prepaid for voice and data for three months. Medianet,maps,wifi phone work great. Costs $5/mo for data once you get 100meg for $19.99. Very light phone runs about $10/month. Only hitch – Nokia push mail stopped working two weeks ago, coincidence?

How do you sync outlook with Nokia’s PC Suite

Please disregard my question regarding syncing Outlook with Nokia’s PC Suite. I figured it out.

I’m haveing issues with mine not syncing up. Both computers (XP and Vista) see the phone, I can load data through explorer but Nokia’s Suite just states that it is connected in “Non Compatability Mode”. Very frustrating as one of the reasons I selected it was for calendar and contacts.

Thank you for that advice! I had the same exact problem and the new app. works beautifully! Much thanks and cheers!

I found the issue on mine to be a setting on the phone. Go into your Settings>Config>Connection>Data Cable and make sure it is set to PC Suite. It is usually set to Media Transfer which prevents the phone from connecting properly to PC Suite software.

Do you mind explaining how you can get the data plan for $15/mo? More precisely, will I get to use the Internet using ‘MediaNet’ from an unbranded Symbian? Thanks

I got this phone and paid for the $10 unlimited data plan and got all of my email and net usage.It was what was sold to me when I bought the phone. Now all if stopped working. When I called in they forced me to a $3o pda plan and still charging me $30 for family unlimited. What is the deal? I was mislead and had a contract.
