Return to the Nokia E71-2

After a couple days of using the E90 as a full time device I am now officially done with it and prepared to let go of it permanently to a potential buyer. Even though I am still waiting for word as to what a specific person is deciding to do, I have currently gone back to using my E71-2 as my everyday device. While there was a lot nostalgic feeling from operating the bulky model, I eventually grew tired of not having the 3G data connection and strong reception. Being tied to EDGE only has been a bit of a nuisance in downloading content outside of a wifi network. As much as I hate to admit it, the size of this clamshell phone also caused me to miss the compact E71-2 even more as I had to lug it around in my pocket.

It was a memorable time when I first purchased this E90, but it is time to move on to what's more efficient for my smartphone use and the E71-2 is most appropriate. Despite the lack of stereo sound in music playback and widescreen, I much prefer the benefits of word completion, the lighted selector key, an easy access qwerty, US 3G and the ability to type in a contact name from the home screen.

As the Communicator reign of my smartphone usage comes to an end, I grip my qwerty bar E-Series device with a new found appreciation. The pictures included on this blogpost are of the board in my classroom on which my Electric Circuitry instructor wrote information for a test review. In order to record all of this data accurately for studying, I decided to take a picture with the E71-2's 3.2 megapixel camera and was impressed with the quality. The resolution allowed me to zoom into individual components of the RC and RL circuitry writings on my MacBook Pro with great clarity. This in itself just proves how useful this Treo competitor can be for me.
