Following on from the E61,E61i and E62 Nokia have released a largely updated model E71 with new form factor with some exciting new innards. I’ve only been using the Nokia E71 for a few days now and it is my first experience of the Nokia Symbian operating system.

Jason Langridge has written up a great article showing the differences between Windows Mobile and iPhone 2.0 Exchange Activesync implementations.

No specs yet but all the pics I could find are after the break. Thanks Cellphone9.

Here is a nice unboxing of the HP Ipaq 910. Looks to be a rather stonking phone with everything going for it, especially the 1940 mAh. Interesting to see it is a little bigger than the Treo 800w. There doesn’t seem to be too much by way of software that set this apart from the others on the market but it’s the processor that’s going to blow the competition out of the water.
Just had a tip off from from online supplier www.superetrader.co.uk that they will have stock of the Samsung Omnia i900 for delivery from the 18th August.
