I was pumped when I heard that the Nokia E71x on AT&T was finally available. I’d tried the unlocked Nokia E71 (the model without the “x”) and thought it was great. All indications from AT&T were that the E71x would be even better than the unlocked E71 because it would be loaded with additional software. I figured this was as close as anyone could get to being an “iphone killer” – QWERTY keyboard, compatability with the new Nokia Messaging 1.1 client, great hardware and more… What could be better than ‘the world’s thinnest smartphone’ packed with new software?! Apparently, quite a lot… Much to my dismay, the Nokia E71x from AT&T isn’t actually as useful as the unlocked E71 because it (gasp) doesn’t sync with a Mac! (more…)
