When ever I tried to open a 8mb pdf file on Nokia E71, the memory error came. I had enough storage memory on my phone, as well as on my memory card, but the memory error was about the processing memory. So then there were only three solutions. 1. Install an application other then Adobe Reader (they cost as well). 2. Install Adobe Reader from third party website, and get a virus as well. 3. Install the Adobe Reader LE 2.5 from quickoffice.comI took the third option, it costed 9 US dollars, but it was worth it. I now open large pdf files without a problem I had the same problem.

I realize your comment has been on here for days, and you've probably already made up your mind, but I wanted to respond nontheless. I got my E71 by renewing my contract. It cost me next to nothing. If that is an option for you as well, I'd recommend getting the E71. It's better than the E51 in every sense, and especially for text input.Then again, if you are in a position where you're eligible for a sponsored phone, I'd at least consider going with an Android phone. There are several with a hardware qwerty keyboard, and the OS feels a lot more modern. Symbian feels like MS-DOS compared to the iPhone and Android, and even if Nokia's Maemo OS catches on it'll probably still be a one vendor system. I'm looking at the Motorola Cliq and a few others right now, but my contract still has a few months to go. Hi Sean.

I have a dilemma, i LOVE my E51 (could go out on a limb and say it is the best phone i have ever had) - 2 years on, and it still performs like new, a total dream. i have been given an E71 to trial over the weekend (as i'm due for an upgrade and as you've pointed out it's definitely an evolution past the E51). My dilemma is this... i don't want a new phone. I've been looking over various sites, including yours to work out why i would want the E71 over the E51 and for me there isn't enough evidence to make me move on. The way i feel today, i would rather just buy an E51 when my one dies. If i remember, i'll log back on after the weekend and tell you what i decide... either way the E series rocks and i'll be stay or upgrading.P.S the iPhone is sh#t. It is NOT a business tool. 5 days of it, it was returned... Couldn't wait to go back to the E51. the iPhone and the touch screen feature - is NOT a solution of business needs, it is a hindrance.

P.S the iPhone is sh#t. It is NOT a business tool. 5 days of it, it was returned… Couldn’t wait to go back to the E51. the iPhone and the touch screen feature – is NOT a solution of business needs, it is a hindrance.

It has a physical keyboard, it runs an OS that was designed for mobile phones, and it’s software is an open platform." Well, i agree that it's the opposite. The upside is the keyboard, but it is awkward for web browsing, and the bigger touchscreen would have been great. My biggest complaint though is the email-client seems to be from another decade. Lacks support for essential IMAP features like moving things to folders (and storing sent / trash). The PDF-reader is unable to open large files, and you have to pay for the upgrade to a fixed (newer) version. The calendar has no support for lables/different calendars. The cale The OS is designed for regular cellphones in the 90's, it's as far from "smart" as you can get. It takes many steps up and down in menus to do simple things. Very unitutitve. Seriously, my old Palm Tungsten was easier to use, and had lots of more features, and applications. It should be easy to use, because it's made to ease your LIFE. It's not, if you have to poke with it for hours to get to your decent settings. And if you have to write your own software. The only good is the hardware, but it's not of much use with this software. (And the fact that the platform is more open, as said) As a phone (without "smart") it's still ok. Has great VoIP support anyway. It has a great Python API, but still no applications. It has a camera which tints images purple.I regret buying my E71, today i would not even think of anything but iPhone if buying. Can't afford it yet though, so in a few years, when it's time for my next phone, it might as well be android. “it’s pretty much the opposite of Apple’s offering.
