When I first saw this phone earlier, I really thought it was the real thing. The Nokia E71i is a knock-off Nokia phone that sports dual SIM and a TV tuner.
The Nokia E71i is much smaller than the E71 and instead of the qwerty keypad, it only has the usual alpha-numeric layout.
The design and construction of the phone is pretty solid and it will really fool most people into thinking it’s made by Nokia. Even the menu and UI are very similar to that of the Nokia E-Series phones.
Under the hood, the Nokia E71i has dual SIM capability and a built-in TV tuner. I tried running the auto-scan for the TV but could not get any clear reception.
At the back, there’s a camera with a label that says it’s 8-megapixel and AF.
These China-made knock-offs are slowly getting better and better at copying the real thing. This one is by far the closest to the real thing I’ve ever seen.
Ito po bang Nokia E71i ay WLAN enabled phone? as Nokia E71 also haved? any comments sa mga nka bili na ng E71i?
ok sana if their product may mga piesa kung masira. mas mahal pa pagawa kng masira kaysa sa original na nokia.
for the phone numbers you need to edit the numbers and replace 0 with +63 then save it. hope this works for you!
nokia E71i in china mobile is good but its speed is slow.
I got a China dual sim E72 in greenhills! Yes E72! From 4,500 natawaran ko ng 3,700.
The BAD: 1. Basag ang sounds 2. Walang folders to store messages so padami lang ng padami laman ng inbox/outbox. 3. Girl told me not to drop it kasi pag nasira na wala na makakaayos. meaning disposable na siya.4. The Nokia sign is hologram so halatang fake. The E72 sign is the wrong font and size. 5. Of course no 3g or wifi.
The Good: 1. It really looks like the real thing 2. Cheap if you are just after looks not features– 3,700 vs original 24,000. 3. Dual Sim 4. Works with (compatible) Nokia chargers, battery and headsets. 5. camera says 9 mp but shoots like a 2mp nokia–not bad!

Do NOT buy these china smartphone models. They may look good and even sound good with all the extra functions, but they just come with inferior software, especially the smartphone models. The OS in these models are crap compared to any legitimate brand. And support or fixes are nonexistent. Don’t expect to get lucky !!! If you are a serious smartphone user pls stay away from these and save your $100++…
I just bought the E7i today and got it configured with GPRS for both Globe and Smart (so yay, I have internet — kahit hindi WiFi, pwede na rin. Basta may load ka. LOL) I got mine from Greenhills and it cost me P5000. One year warrantee. Pag may nasira daw, papalitan ko na lang. They’ll replace it with the new one and apparently all I have to pay for is the “casing”. So far so good. Maganda yung reception sa TV and the internet’s stable. It’s “quadband” although I haven’t tested that feature out yet. Kung may China phone kayo at gusto nyo mag set up ng internet:

@Rome: di ko lang sure pag pareho ito dun sa na-review ni yuga. may tatak na E71i sa casing ko pero walang “Nokia” na label. 3-4k sa tiangge. wala rin wifi. pero kaya nya i-set yung voice changer option pag may kausap ka para mag-boses cartoon character ka.
@nikka: thanks.. i’ll check that..
@trent: voice-masking feature for real??! wow, naging interesado tuloy ako.. sarap nyan gusto ko pag-trip-an friends ko! LOL!
