Nokia E71 carries along the footsteps of the E61i messaging phone, one of a rare Symbian mobile phones to come with a QWERTY keyboard.
It is significantly more compact and lighter and thinner than the old E61i, it comes with faster networking, a better camera and GPS too. But on the negative side, the E71’s display and the keyboard looks altogether more cramped. Measuring mere 114 x 57 x 10mm and weighing little higher at 126 grams, the Nokia E71 is certainly larger than most contemporary 3G phones, but this is mainly due to the wide 2.4″ 320 x 240 pixel display, keyboard and large 1500 mAh battery. At just 10mm thick, it will be easy to slip into a pocket, unlike its bulky predecessor.
On the back, Nokia E71 has a good valued 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, and there is a secondary video calling camera on the front too. We do hope that Nokia will make a camera-less version of this phone, as they did with the Nokia E51, however there are no words from Nokia yet in this regards. Nokia’s launch information is inconsistent about video capture resolution, but as far as we can tell it is 640 x 480 pixels at 22 frames per second, which seems pretty good.
QWERTY arrangement of keyboard is a plus along with some navigation keys, but they are bunched quite closely together where the E71 had spacing in between them to help prevent multiple keys being pressed down at the same time. Bear in mind though that the E71 is 57mm wide, and the E61i is 70mm wide, a whopping 13mm difference.
Built by-default into the Nokia E71 is A-GPS that comes with the Nokia Maps application, which is free for basic functionality but requires a fee for full satellite navigation. The 2.4″ screen isn’t particularly large, and the E71 will suffer because it lacks touchscreen capabilities.
This is an HSDPA capable device, with a maximum download speed of 3.6 Mbps (not supported in Pakistan). The E71 comes in three dual-band WCDMA variants, 850/2100 MHz [E71-3], 850/1900 MHz [E71-2] and 900/2100 MHz [E71-1] depending on region, plus quad-band GSM with GPRS and EDGE data. On top of that, the E71 has 802.11b and g WiFi.
Local connectivity is via a microUSB connector, Bluetooth or infra-red. The Nokia E71 also has a 2.5mm AV output for wired headphones. The E71 has a pretty typical suite of enterprise-class applications, including a document viewer, push email support and the usual array of S60 functions.
Nokia say that the E71 has “two home screens”, presumably a “work” and a “home” one. Of course, the E71 also has a multimedia player. Internal memory is 110MB, expandable to 8GB using microSD cards. The large 1500 mAh battery can drive the E71 for up to 4.5 hours talktime on 3G, 10 hours talktime on GSM and 18 hours of music playback.
Nokia E71 is available in around PKR 38,000 in Pakistan with United Mobile and Advance outlets (PKR 38,000 is for United Mobiles, Advance Telecom price may vary)

Apple has announced another 50 countries, where iPhone will strike soon…! Bad news for us is that Pakistan is not in the list again. So all those ruomers are given a hald that defined Mobilink or Warid to bring in iPhone in the country. However, Singtel has succeeded in bringing iPhone to Singapore. Other neighbours include India and Qatar.
This list of 50 countries is other than of those 22 nations that recieved iPhone on July 11, 2008.
So those who are jailbreaking iPhone in Pakistan, keep doing so, as there is no ray of hope yet for Pakistan.

In this tutorial we will learn how to connect our PC / Laptop with internet using Mobilink’s GPRS. This method can be used for any handset (Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Blackberry etc) and for both Prepaid Jazz and Postpaid Indigo Number. So let’s start straight away.

Getting Ready
You must be equipped with following items, in order to connect your PC or Laptop with Mobilink’s GPRS
Make sure that you have device drivers of your phone. Otherwise you won’t be able to connect your PC/Laptop with internet. This driver can be found in a CD that comes with your handset’s pack. Make sure that you have installed the handset driver on your PC (Please ask help in comments below if you having problems with driver installation, but remember, i will not provide any driver for any handset)
Assuming that your Handset driver is installed on your PC, now make sure that your GPRS is activated on your Mobilink Jazz/Indigo numbers. If not then call your helpline and get it activated.
Please remember that connecting to internet through PC consumes high bandwidth, so make sure that you have unlimited GPRS package activated on your Mobilink Indigo Numbers (that comes at Rs. 500 per month). Mobilink Jazz Customers note that you will be charges at Rs. 15 per MB, so be carefull while your are using GPRS on your Jazz Numbers
Okay seems, now you have all necessary things with you in order to connect internet on PC/Laptop with help of Mobilink GPRS. So keep on reading to complete the tutorial.

Almost daily, I get multiple emails from readers asking me to teach them on how to activate GPRS on their Mobile Phones and demands setting for their different models and cellular companies.
In response, I have decided to do a series of tutorials in which we will learn easy and simple ways to get GRPS activated on our mobile phones. To reduce the confusion I will start with Ufone, however, GPRS settings for all cellular companies, like Mobilink, Zong, Warid and Tenor will also be posted in coming days.
You must activate GPRS for your Ufone number. In case you do all settings, and GPRS for your Ufone number is not activated then you may not use GPRS on your Ufone. In order to activate your GPRS services on Ufone number you can follow two ways
By Calling Help Line: Call help line and ask them to activate your GPRS and MMS…As simple, along with also tell them your Mobile Phone brand and model (for example, tell them that you have Nokia 6300 phone) and that’s it. They will activate your GPRS setting and also send you an SMS that will contain GPRS/MMS setting. Simply save this message. (When you will open this message, there will appear an option to save it) – So you are done. Now you can use GPRS and MMS on your Ufone number.
Note: After you call help line, and activate your GPRS, it may take couple of hours to get it activated on your number. So don’t expect GPRS working straight away.
Activating Via SMS: You can also activate GPRS on Ufone by sending an SMS in this format => [manufacturer<space>model] and send it to 222
Example: Write: Nokia 6300 and send it to 222
After sending this SMS, you will have to wait for sometime (even 24 hours in some cases) and you will receive a SMS that will GPRS and MMS setting for your Ufone number. Simply save it and start using GPRS on you Ufone.
Note: It is better to subscribe by calling help line, as they will send you MMS and GPRS setting immediately. Subscribing GPRS via SMS may take as long as 24 hours.
So now you are done with GPRS and MMS setting, and can start surging internet on your Ufone number. Also check following tips for using internet on ufone.
Pricing
Remember that GPRS is relatively an expensive internet source. Ufone currently does not offer any unlimited data plan (package that allows unlimited usage). Hence, you will be charged on per MB download/upload basis.
GPRS usage Charges: Rs. 15 per MB (excluding taxes) MMS Usage Charges: The cost of sending an MMS is Rs. 5.00 (excluding taxes)
The cost of receiving an MMS is Rs. 5.00 (excluding taxes)

Good News has hit for those countries where 3G iPhone was not officially launched. Original iPhone took good time to get unlocked, however, its 3G variant, 3G iPhone was unlocked in only its first week. MobileCrunch reports quoting a Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo that the DesbloqueioBR has hit won the race and became very first one to unlock 3G iPhone.
A relatively simple procedure was adopted to achieve this. They altered handset’s firmware and installed a special card add-on to the SIM chip, that’s it. With this configureation DesbloqueioBR claims that the 3G iPhone can now connect to any carrier.
In 22 countries, only one service provider has been authorized to sell 3G iPhone. All carieers are subsidizing the Apple’s newest gadget, resulting long term contracts and relatively larger monthly prices.
DesbloqueioBR says that it has plans to charge between 250 and 375 dollars to unlock an 3G iPhone. Other unlocks are sure to follow and so are the stories that cover them.
