Nokia E71 phone

[(RIP) willstatt]

any one of you whizz kids got one of these, and know all the tricks? Just had one as free upgrade but struggling with a few features.

For example: I synced it with my mozilla bookmarks on my PC, but can't find them on the E71!

Help much appreciated.

Will,

My biggest struggle was having to sharpen my fingertips to fit the keys!! I still hit the odd wrong one and then the autotext puts in some VERY strange words. Always read your emails and texts BEFORE you send them.

Otherwise my Firefox bookmarks work well and I have not had any major problems with it. I would just prefer a NORMAL phone type keyboard..

Nokia forums are also pretty good.

If you use Office files, there is a free upgrade to the latest version of Quickoffice (the version supplied - at least in the past - was V4). The main benefit is to ve able to read Office 2007 formats.

Smartconnect is a free utility to manage connections (though make sure Hotspot detection is switched off).

Calcium is a good free calculator - clever design makes it much easier to use than the normal keyboard functions.

Google maps is good if you don't have to pay for data.

Jabplite is an excellent free banking program.
