Keyboard: The keyboard is surprisingly very good and I actually like it better than my BlackBerry Curve for the most part because the keys feel more solid and smooth (the Curve buttons are hard and a bit loose) and I rarely enter text I didn't intend to enter. I did notice there is more light present between the display and keyboard than there was on the European version and haven't seen folks mention this on the forums so I think this is just a slight device flaw that is not present across the line. I use an Exchange service and have been using RoadSync because it provides an advanced Exchange experience compared to the free Nokia Mail For Exchange utility (for example, better folder support). The E71 is one of the first Eseries devices that no longer supports the BlackBerry Connect functionality, which some people may understandably miss. The front facing QWERTY keyboard challenges the BlackBerry and the business user who have Exchange should be pleased with the device.
Looks and feel: The E71 is targeted to the enterprise user and as soon as you pull the device out of the box you realize this is one classy and professional device with the sleek stainless steel and dense body. I will say what I keep on saying to everyone that I talk to about the device, the hardware ROCKS! bands so I won't go over the hardware again.
The hardware is the exact same as I detailed before, with the exception of the internal radio now supporting the U.S. The device I took you on a tour around before was a European version and since that time I picked up the North American version that supports 3G on AT&T's network.
