Mainland China E71 (RM-493) differences
[edit]The E71 currently being sold in mainland China does not have Wi-Fi 802.11b/g WLAN networking or a back mounted camera. 3G was also excluded, because licenses for 3G in mainland China were only approved in early 2009.[7]
There is no reduction in price for phones lacking these features and a firmware update will not bring them back because the hardware itself is missing.[8] The E71 sold in Macau and Hong Kong do not lack these features. The software bundled with the Chinese version is slightly different, as it also has a QQ client, along with some other Chinese specific programs.
Reception
[edit]The E71 received highly positive critical reception. It was widely praised for its battery life, software features like push email, slim design and hardware including keyboard.[9][10][11][12] A Trusted Reviews reviewer gave it 5 stars out of 5.[13] CNET UK wrote: "While we don't like the camera, we think the rest is pretty close to perfect".[14] TechRadar called it a "terrific" device in a "well thought out package", listing the lack of a 3.5 mm headphone jack as the only disadvantage.[15]
Some publications dubbed it a "BlackBerry killer" or "iPhone killer".[16][17]

[edit]- Editors' Choice, Readers' Choice and 8.9 out of 10 rating on CNET.co.uk (as of June 2008)[18]
