AllAboutSymbian’s Steve Litchfield somehow managed to get his hands onto a preproduction sample of the E71. He considers the device to be the iPhone’s nemesis - but does he like it?

First of all: he notes that the device is a lot smaller than the current E61x boxen. While Steve doesn’t have a problem with that, others(er.g. me) are likely to be unhappy about this. His main gripe is the media suite of the box: he dislikes the 3.2MP camera and the video/audio playback features.

However, he considers the device a great Eseries device - in case you feel like reading his full review, you can find it here:
