For those invited to private launch parties in New York and Chicago last Thursday, you've probably been playing with your shiny new US E71 all weekend. For everyone else, today's the day. The Americas version of the handset -- which includes GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and HSDPA 850/1900 support -- is finally on sale to the general public through a variety of retailers. Now, the only problems are sneaking out of the office early, finding a store with stock and coming up with approximately $500.
So I got this phone last Thursday and all I can say is that it ROCKS!!! The phone last me 4 days without charging and the 3G is superfast. Camera is awesome and setting up the email was easy. Thus far no problem. Plus it looks good.
Dear T-Mobile,
Where's the 1700?
Thursday? I've had it since wednesday and most other people on Howardfourms have had it around the same time if not sooner. Wait in a line for a phone, ha!
where do you get it
I got mine on Wednesday as well and I like it a lot. Replaced my iPhone with it and moved to AT&T. Has great reception and does wonders with AT&T's limited signal strength in the places I frequent. 3G works well, has an integrated SIP phone, GPS works very fast, the screen is very good and the keyboard is great.
Why show a photo of the white one when it hasn't been released yet? Also, to anyone in the know, when will the white one come out?
Call either store (Chicago or NY) and have them add you to the list. They will call you as soon as the white one is released. I'm on it. You don't have to buy it from them, but at least you'll know.
Where did you get in in the USA?
Expansys-USA claims the white one will be available September 1. It's also a decent choice for purchasing the other one now. Oddly enough, nokiausa.com doesn't yet have it for sale. I got my gray one from Popular Electronics in Chicago...
www.nseries.com, i know its an Nseries website....but there is list of stores on that site that will have access to the E71 and you can purchase it there.
There's only two flag store in the states and I'm not locally near any of them. Where can I find one? I'm in desperate need to replace my dying phone!
At least you can by it from Dell. Hope this link works...

Some people on HoFo got it for $350 after the MS/live.com deal.
I really want it but I just bought the E51 in February.
I'm hoping for a version with 1700Mhz in October but I honestly doubt anything that nice will happen.
Looks like I may need to switch Operators this year.
:-(
I got mine at the NYC launch party last week. It's a great phone.
Even the EDGE isn't too bad!
Slingbox player doesn't work on it, though.
The food was pretty good at the NYC event, oh and the phone is AWSOME!!! though I still play with my n78
