For the [connectivity ](http://www.plimbi.com/review/43552/blackberry-bold-9700-onyx "The Complete Features of Blackberry Bold 9700 (Onyx) For Your Communication and Connectivity Needs")and data transfer, the Nokia E71 is compatible with the GPRS Class 32 (100 kbps), EDGE Class 32 (296 kbps), 3G HSDPA (3.6 Mbps), WLAN Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, [Bluetooth](http://www.plimbi.com/article/12625/being-acquainted-with-bluetooth-headset-and-what-to-consider-before-buying-one "Being Acquainted with Bluetooth Headset and What to Consider Before Buying One") v2.0 with A2DP, infrared port, USB v2.0 (microUSB).

From the review above, it can be drawn to conclusion that the plus points of Nokia E71 are the good battery life, fast web browsing with HSDPA data connection (up to 3.6 Mbps), and its price that is cheaper than BlackBerry, HTC, and Apple, but with almost identical features and capabilities. The weaknesses of this phone are the 2.5 mm audio jack rather than 3.5 mm jack, the low quality camera performance, no dedicated camera key and its small display. [IS]
