Both good devices. Though I'd choose between the N95 8GB and E71. Try my Grid and see what it recommends!!

How do i get the desktop version or the computer version of youtube on my E71 can any one help? plz. Thankyou

Er... type in the URL. Then choose 'Use desktop version' etc.

Probably a bug when using cards this large? Check for a firmware update?

Great video, working on getting one for my sister. I think she will enjoy the size and functionality of it.

I just got my E71-2.... I wasn't really excited, newegg had it on sale for 300 so I nabbed it. After a few hours, and changing the product code so i could update the firmware, man it just kicks ass!! The update made it even faster than it already was.! it kicks so much arse, it seems like everytime i use it, there is some chinese guy kicking/punching holes in someone else's house! Camera seems better too after the update.

Nice video.

I can only recommend this phone its great.

The size of the keypad is just perfect - really nice to type.

About the camera, its quality is great for snapshots. Dont forget this is not a camera, its a business mobile.

Hey Steve, I have a question concerning my E71. Isn't it supposed to have a really fast internet ability? I'm using WLAN via our wireless 8mbit broadband at home so that's not the problem. I am NOT impressed with the speed at all, and I wonder what might be the problem. Or maybe I just had high expectations. As an example, it took the phone about 25 seconds to fully load IMDB home page. So slow, I think. So, do you think there's something wrong, or is it just my expectations? Thanks in advance.

Not a limit. Just what Nokia have tested against. 16GB should be fine, treated gently?
