Hi Walter
I've only ever tested an E71 and never held an N96. However, I've heard
bad reports about the sound quality of TALKS on the N96, whereas I recall
it sounded fine on the E71. I personally don't like qwerty keypads on
phones, but that's a personal thing for me. The E71 felt nice and slim and
having a stainless steel casing, didn't feel cheap and plasticy at all.
The back had a kind of brushed steel finish, it did feel like quality and
I did like its build. If you aren't put off too much by the qwerty keypad,
I'd go for the E71, but that's just me!

Hi all. I have learned that I am now eligible for an upgrade with
Voedafone. The 2 phones I can have are the E71 or the N96 with a
contribution of £135 for the 96. My question is, which of the two phones
is
the better? The 96 has 16gig capacity whereas the 71 only has 8. On the
other hand the 71 has a quirty keypad which to me seems a bit fiddly but
the
96 being the brother to the n95 I worry it has the same propensity to be
unstable and for ever crashing and the battery life of the 95 is crap.
The
n95 I have at the moment is the original one, the silver one that doesn't
have a hard drive. I would really appreciate any input you can give and
your opinions on either of these phones. It seems to be harder getting a
phone now since so many are touch screens. Walter.
