Yep, the Nokia E71 has enjoyed some coverage on The Gadget Blog, but ultimately, I decided to go for the Nokia E63.

From my two-week encounter with a review E71, I’ve determined that the 3.2 megapixel camera wasn’t really worth the count, and while built-in HSDPA capability is great, what’s the point if the coverage needed to maximize it is really lacking?

So the E63 is definitely a much more affordable brother of the E71, and budget pricing usually connotes limited functionality. But, you still have the same awesome keyboard, and a 3.5mm jack that supports standard earphones and headphones.

All for a significant drop in price, a downgrade to a 2.0 megapixel camera (ultimately irrelevant for dedicated camera owners), and 3 more millimeters of thickness. Worthy sacrifices in my opinion, considering the E63 features the same long-lasting battery of the E71, big-screen, and WiFi.

In short, that’s why today I bought a Nokia E63. Have you? Let me know why in the comments below.
