The E71 can keep you connected almost anywhere.
The Nokia E71 is a solid smartphone that, although a bit dated now, can still meet most basic cellular needs. It has plenty of connectivity features via 3G and Wi-Fi for email and for browsing the Web, and it has QuickOffice preinstalled so you can view many types of documents, like Microsoft Word and Excel. Working through the basics of setup when you first get your Nokia E71 shouldn't take you too much time, though the phone offers enough customization that, if you want, you could spend a great deal of time tweaking all the settings to meet your preferences.
Instructions
Hardware Setup
1. Turn off your phone if you've turned it on already. Press and hold the power key on the top of the device to turn it off.
2. Remove the back cover of the phone by pressing in the two release buttons near the bottom of the device on the left and right sides. While you're pressing the release buttons, you can lift the cover off the phone.
3. Remove the battery if it's already inserted. Simply lift it out from the end nearest the top of the device.
4. Align the SIM card correctly and insert it into its slot at the top of the battery compartment. The metal contacts on the card should be facing the phone itself, and the beveled corner of the card should be nearest to the top of the phone.
5. Replace the battery by aligning it the same way it was in the phone originally and sliding it in; then replace the back cover. When you replace the battery, make sure the three metal contacts on its edge line up with the three metal contacts near the bottom of the phone's battery casing.
6. Plug the phone into its charger and into a wall socket. You'll need to wait for the phone to charge up entirely, which could take a few minutes to an hour or more depending on its current charge level. The battery connector is on the bottom edge of the phone.
7. Insert the phone's microSD card, if you have one. You'll need to remove the battery cover again for this; then just slide the storage care into its slot. If you're looking at the back of the phone, the memory card slot is on the edge to your right and near the top, and you must orient the card so its metal contacts go into the phone first with the printed words facing you.
8. Replace the battery cover and press and hold the power button on the top of the phone. When you feel the phone vibrate, release the power button and the phone will turn on.
Continued Setup
9. Follow the on-screen prompts to provide your country and the date and time. If you or someone else has used this phone before, the phone may not prompt you for this.
10. Select whatever information looks helpful to you from the "Welcome" application, which starts up automatically when you turn on the phone for the first time. If you're unfamiliar with this phone, check out the "Tutorial" option, or you can jump right into email and other configurations by selecting "E-mail settings" or "Sett. wizard."
11. Select the "Menu" option from the "Home" screen by pressing the left soft key, which is the key on the upper-left of the keypad. You can always find the home screen by pressing the "Home" button, which has the image of a house on it. From the "Menu" select "Communic.," then "Call mailbox" to begin setting up your voicemail. Type in the phone number for your voicemail, which your carrier should have provided. After this, you can call your mailbox by simply pressing and holding the "1" key from the home screen.
12. Select the "Menu" option again from the "Home" screen and select "Nokia E-mail," then "New." This begins the installation of the "Nokia messaging application." Simply read the information your phone displays and follow the prompts.
13. Select the "e-mail wizard" on the home screen; then choose "Start e-mail setup." Follow the prompts on the screen to provide your email address and password. Be careful to type them in correctly, and remember that the password is case-sensitive. After this setup, you can access your email by pressing the email key, which is above the red "end call" key.
