Product Walk-Through: Nokia E71 Shines in eWEEK Labs Tests – Copy and Paste

We found support for copying and pasting text in a couple of spots, but not where we would’ve found the support most useful. For instance, we could copy text from an e-mail message we were composing, but not from one we were reading.

Since the E71’s thumb keyboard occupies about half of the unit’s front-side real estate, the device is limited to a fairly small, 320 by 240 pixel, 2.4-inch display.

The E71 comes with the obligatory built-in camera, a 3.2 megapixel unit fixed on the back of the device. Less typical, however, are the camera’s autofocus and flash features.

The E71 measures 4.48 by 2.24 by .39 inches, and weighs in at 4.48 ounces. As smart phones go, the E71 is strikingly slim, and most of its weight goes to the device’s healthy-sized removable battery.
