Straight Talk Nokia E71 (Part 2)

Part 2 of my review of the Straight Talk E71. Let me know what yall think and if you want me too do another video.


**Update** (04-11-11)

Straight Talk has now twice disconnected my data service because of me tethering my phone to my PC. On 04-04-11, I noticed my data wasn't working. So I called ST and they simply fixed the issue with NO explanation. On 04-08-11, They again suspended my data service, but this time when I called, I had to speak to a supervisor and was asked some questions about my data usage for the past 3 weeks. I of-course acted stupid and didn't say anything, but after the CSR was done asking me those questions, He stated that if I was "Red Flagged" again for heavy data usage, That my service would be terminated. Not suspended, but TERMINATED. Now, I was stupid and was using it to tether everyday for sometimes 10+ hrs at a time to my PC. I know I used around 30 gigs in about 3 weeks. Thats EXTREME, I know, and stupid. So I can only blame myself, Not ST or even At&t. Like I said in my other review video about tethering with this phone and ST. Keep it under 5 gigs per month and you will be fine. Anything over will send a red flag to ST and they will suspend your data service until your next month or until you call them to fix the issue.

Do you have a review of the basics? I am thinking of getting this phone, but I've never had a smart phone before. Is it easy to set up and use?

[csy30076]

@1Prayerwarrior22, When I had this phone it was my first Smart Phone. It was also my first phone with Nokia's Symbian OS. But I found it pretty easy to set up and it only took me like a couple of days to master the phone and OS. I have an Android phone now and there are times when I do miss this phone (Nokia E71) and its OS. Whats really nice about this phone now is that u can buy one for like $100 new. I had to pay $200 when it was first launched.

hey is that phone better than a blackberry. im a die hard blackberry user but i want to go to straight talk but they dont have a blackberry. so does this phone even come close to a blackberry. because i need a corporate phone.

[csy30076]

@carloshill76, Yes. This phone is better in my opinion then any of the 8000 series Blackberries. One of my friends who owns an Blackberry 8520 also likes my phone more then his.

Do you know if Netflix works on the E71?

[csy30076]

@Guillermo2970498, I am pretty sure Netflix will NOT work on this phone. I have never tried, but I tried to go to Hulu and couldn't. The reason being, The Nokia E71 only supports Java "Light". You have to have the full Java capability on your phone to watch movies, TV Shows etc, via Hulu or Netflix. Most smart phones dont have the full version of Java on the phone. Not even most androids. You can however, download the movie to the Micro SD card and watch a movie or TV show that way.
