Try loading some GBA roms on that beautiful E71 horizontal screen and see for yourself. S60 games and software are practically all over the web. You can even transform your E-series phone into a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Windows Live Messenger is only one button click away. Nokia Maps 2.0 is practically the best free navigation software there is. It has all names of all streets in all countries.

Very fast phone, very stable UI. If HTC Dream wasn't up on the Horizon, the E71/E66 would definitely be next on my update list.

Oh and they are the only phones with native flash lite support for the web browser. So you can view Youtube and other flash-based apps right on the web browser.

I'd recommend these phones A LOT MORE than the clunky S60 Touch phones (The Tube) coming up by the end of the year. ]]>Jun 16th 2008 9:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/
1)These are not the only phones with flashlite support, all of the N95s, the N82, the E90, the N78 and the N96 have native flashlite support.

2)How can you call S60 touch clunky? Have you ever used it? Have you ever touched the Tube?

Please.]]>Jun 16th 2008 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/
Moreover, last time S60 was demoed in Feb, then in March and April. It was extremely slow. This may be because they never changed the core programming of S60, they just made it support touch input. As a matter of fact, Nokia has been confirming this fact many times, "The same S60, now with touch"

As for flashlite support, you've just listed all the new Nokia phones (some of which haven't even made it to the market) to make a point that "I had no idea what I was talking about".... Ok maybe it's a personality flaw but yes, these new phones including the Eseries all support flashlite. Big surprise. mkay? I don't know about the n95 but as far as I know, it DOESN'T have native flash. Even if it does, I don't think that qualifies as "no idea what ur talking about" :)

I love S60, I do. It's very resourceful and has a HUGE library of 3rd party apps. Maybe the biggest. Most likely the biggest. The OS is stable and reliabe. But as far as UI goes, it is really "last-gen".

So, "please" yourself.]]>Jun 16th 2008 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/
You may THINK that it won't be friendly but let me tell you now. There will be surprises once S60 touch comes out. Tell me this; how can you judge an OS from renderings on a demo video that aren't even the real thing OR emulations of the very early stages of the OS on a device that is NOTHING like the eventual hardware that the OS will be placed on.

Plenty of people have used the Tube. Plenty.

All the new Nokia phones? The only phone that isn't available in a shop down the road from me right now from that list is the N96. Besides, I wouldn't really call the N95 new, considering it's been floating around since May of 2006...

Please.]]>Jun 16th 2008 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/

They look fine but those are really more targeted at the blackberry devices and other Nokia-style slider phones.

...and side-mounted headphone jacks? That's on par with the iPhone not having MMS - you can live with it, but it's WRONG, very wrong.

Yeah, let me loosen my tie and switch to 'life mode' on my phone.]]>Jun 16th 2008 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/Jun 16th 2008 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/

Plus it's really stable system and really fast to use.

After all over 55% of this planet smartphone users seem to go for these so they must be doing something right even if the current OS is getting old pretty soon, but will get replaced by 5th edition later this year that should be totally new and eye candyed.]]>Jun 16th 2008 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/Jun 16th 2008 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/Jun 16th 2008 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/Jun 16th 2008 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/Jun 16th 2008 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/
Not bad phones........... I know these two devices will definitely break the bank.....]]>Jun 16th 2008 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/Jun 16th 2008 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/Jun 16th 2008 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/

Additionally, is this orientation sensor = acceleration sensor (for example in Nokia N95)?]]>Jun 16th 2008 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/
There's no mention of the aforementioned features for E71 at Nokia.com, but orientation sensors are mentioned on the E66's page..

Hm. Shame, there are many cool applications that utilize motion sensors these days. To me it's pretty much as cool as multi touch. Well, E71 it is anyway, I've grown so accustomed to a QWERTY keyboard.

Maybe in the year two thousand there will be an E71i, with orientation sensors : )]]>Jun 16th 2008 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/Jun 16th 2008 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/video-hands-on-with-the-new-e66-and-e71-from-nokia/ Silly touch screen.
