Aside from the more or less $100 price difference, here are some other differences between the Nokia E63 and the Nokia E71. Both of these phones are very similar in features and look but there are some differences worth noting in making some informed buying decisions:
1. The E63 comes with a flashlight button option. Hold a button down, and the flash LED light comes on. The E71 doesn’t have this feature.
2. While the E71 is locked, pressing the center button will show a quick time check.
3. The E63’s spacebar is significantly smaller than the E71’s spacebar in the thumb board.
4. The E71 can support HSDPA. The E63 only supports 3G. Choosing either is a matter of preference in browsing style plus in several countries, the difference between HSDPA and 3G is barely noticeable.
5. The E71 comes with a 3.2MP camera while the E63 comes with a 2.0MP camera. Barely any difference here.
6. There are less buttons on the side for the E63. For instancem volume control is easier to adjust on the E71 because of the buttons on the side.
7. The E71 does not have a 3.5mm jack. The E63 has one.

useful article thanx.
Several days ago Nokia has officially announced the Nokia E63. Lots of people are saying that the Nokia E63 is the cheaper version of the Nokia E71. So, in short the E63 has lower functionality and lower price compared to the award winning E71 . But how different are these siblings are? Well, I have found an interesting articles that have listed the differences and without no further delay, here are the Nokia E63 vs Nokia E71 Comparison :
* The E63 has a colored plastic shell versus the E71’s metal one. The front is a metallic-finish, whilst the back cover is a soft-touch finish – both attract far few fingerprints than the E71’s.
* The E63 is nearly identical in dimensions to the E71 except for the depth – the E63 is around 1.5 times the depth of the E71.
* The E63 has a 3.5mm jack on top versus the E71’s 2.5mm jack on the side. This appears to be the first E-series to have a standard headphone socket – something normally saved for N-series.
* The E63 has no side buttons for volume or voice recording. It’s also missing the E71’s IR window.
* The E63 has a revised keyboard layout, adding a ‘/’ button on the lower row, shortening the space bar.
* The E63 appears to have a slightly smaller dimension screen although it is the same 320 by 240 pixels as the E71.
* The E63 lacks internal GPS.
* The E63 does not support HSDPA data.
* The E63 has the same 110 meg internal memory, but is shipped without an additional memory card (although a slot to add one is present).
* The E63 has a 2MP camera versus the E71’s 3.2MP and has a fixed focus.
* The E63 adds a flashlight function that allows the camera’s LED flash to be used as a torch.
* The E63 lacks the E71’s faux-leather slip case.
And here’s the key business features still present in the E63:
* WiFi
* 3G (there had been some rumours this was 2G only)
* Microsoft Exchange sync via MailForExchange
* Expandable memory
* Fast operation and stable S60 3rd Edition FP1 OS
* Pre-installed QuickOffice
* E-series security and encryption functions
* Huge 1500mAh battery
