If the phone is very new, as you say, and without any damages, it sounds like a good deal.

I am really grateful for the opportunity to be part of this website; it’s comforting to know I am not alone, and will never be – if I run into brickwalls with my gadgets. I plan to upgrade to WinMo 6.5 once I get the Samsung B7320; I love experimenting with tech stuff – computer operating systems, smartphone monster packs, etc. Right now I have three operating systems on my laptop – Windows 7 dual-booting with Fedora 10, with Mac OS X Leopard on VMWare. So you can see its going to be fun all the way with my new phone when I get it.

Cheers…

I’m looking @ upgrading to E55 (half qwerty), but Yom is making me rethink about, especially with ‘evangelism’ of windows OS…LOL!

Nokia smartphönes are great though, however will like 2 try something else.

Cheerio.

All internet services from the GSM networks work directly on phone as a standalone device. You can also tether your phone as a modem, if it has a modem built-in.

The E63 is a bargain choice. The compromises are the low-specs camera and lack of HSDPA/3.5G. It has 3G though, maxing out at 384 kbps. If you don’t mind 3G-only speeds, go for it.

Anyway, thanks for the info and I think I’ll go for the E63 today; the only difference from the E71 is the GPS and the data cable not being bundled (if there is any other consideration, coming from a guru like you, please, please tell).

Cheers…

Welcome sir!

Here are a few articles that present the information about what various data packages GSM networks offer:

• Etisalat Introduces EasyNet – Bundle Internet Packages
• Glo Introduces Pre-Paid 3G Packages
• MTN announces GPRS/EDGE/3G/3.5G data packages
• Zain Announces Data Packages

Hope that helps with your search!

Cheers.

Yes; I have seen the E71 clone. Those copycat guys are bad. But the clone is not a smartphone at all. Java apps installation, yes. But even that is with some issues.

Unfortunately, MobilityNigeria may never review any of those cloned devices. The illegality behind such devices is a key factor. We really think its bad enough that someone has copied the design line for line, but to also now slap “Nokia” and “E71″ on it is a stretch.

However, we will try to present you reviews of authentic Chinese brands such as Techno and others.

I work with Visafone and I currently use the Moto Q on VisaMobile subscription (paid, not company freebie). This experience has opened my eyes to what smartphones can do and I must say I have been blind all along I had just seen phones as mere “make and receive call” gadgets.

With my Moto Q I browse the internet, check my mails, even my office exchange mail and all this for just 4k a month!!!

Now I want to buy a new Nokia GSM phone, preferably the E72 or E63 depending on my financial muscle. My issue now is if any GSM operator has such service as our VisaMobile, and if so how much does it cost monthly and what are the features? I wouldn’t mind changing my number to be on that network (currently on MTN).

Cheers…
