this guy, prem73kumar, is the MAN for posting a signed/certified THREADED SMS APP that will work on the e71x. no need for hack, just go into application management, turn certificate check to “off” and you should be able to intall it.

you might also have to register at the dotsis forum, and if you get the error message “certificate is expired” manually change the date of your e71x to 2008.

Why does everyone speak so poorly of the 71x. I’ve had it for a 2 weeks and I think it’s an awesome phone. Some e71 apps work on it, some don’t. At&t did restrict the phone a little, but always in time a hacker comes around and solves that. I do believe it will appeal to the masses, specially with that $99 tag. The phone has more features than the avg. user will require and you can’t stand not looking at the phone with that black color.

lilgreenie,

Threaded messaging is not included and I wrote about this in this post (http://nokiaexperts.com/s60-provide-native-threaded-sms-experience/). Readers wrote in with some alternatives that I have to test out on the E71x to see if any work. I really wish Nokia would address this.

I have had my e71-2 for around 8 months now and love it but im still going to get the e71x for 2 reasons. 1. its black, i wish nokia would have just initially made the e71 all black the first time instead of releasing it 6 months or so after the release of the original, it just looks so much better. 2. i can get it for free. att has given me 100 towards an upgrade so figure 150 before a 50 dollar mail in rebate…i definitely think the e71x is worth $0.00 and im not worried about the contract seeing as i get most of my phones unlocked anyway

Brad: You’re right, it wasn’t the question answered here. It’s just that every time I see the E71x mentioned it amazes me how worse of an option it is compared to the unlocked version. As for the question: yes, the E71x will appeal to the masses. It looks insanely sick, has a good feature pack and it’s priced relatively well.

Can anybody confirm that the one-touch keys surrounding the D-pad still carry the same functionality as the unbranded unlocked E71? Because I see that as a huge selling point for this phone, and a great way to separate it from the crowd. The documents that you guys here have shown don’t have anything about those one-touch keys and I’m really annoyed to see that missing. I take that as a dis to Nokia for not putting that in the phone. I think this device has a lot of potential to really help Nokia’s name here but no thanks to AT&T ******** up another Symbian device, I think it won’t be as successful as it should be. I know almost everybody in the US is ignorant to Nokia phones and their potential, but those the know about the unlocked version will surely be disappointed with AT&T’s when they finally use it.
