I am too a difficult pleaser in the mobile phone world. I have tried all makes and many models and have to confess this Nokia E71 is the best phone I have ever owned.
A big bonus unlike many phones is that it came with a case, not a huge issue but often another 'expense' when buying an expensive phone.
It does everything for you and everything is easy to use with a useful 'help' program in the applications. I often struggle with the CD's included in the box, I have not touched mine yet!! I had the phone for 24 hours and had it all figured out with ease.
I was looking for a 'wifi' phone as I do not always take my laptop, the connecting and speed are brillant. I also linked to internet thru PC, also easy to do.
Anything you cannot find in a 'help' program can be easily located via Nokia website.
Call reception was also very good, Samsung F488 should take notes!
I have had several Nokia phones that I have not been at all impressed by, but this model is superb.
I am also fortunate that I bought mine SIM free, in Hong Kong. It works well with UK, China and HK networks. This is a benefit as i find often the operators software can cause problems.
Overall anyone looking for a smartphone should give this some serious consideration, I am glad I selected this model.
