In the year of the Beijing Olympics, Nokia launched a very weird mobile phone, it did not use the T9 numeric keypad, but used a QWERTY full keyboard similar to a notebook keyboard, many people thought it was a little ugly at the time, but it was pleasing to the eye, it was E71!
First of all, I will show you a horizontal version of Nokia's "handshake diagram", which can only be seen on horizontal screen machines like E71 or E63. The E71 uses a 2.4-inch QVGA screen, equipped with the S60 V3 system, and weighs only 120 grams, which was used by many girls at the time. That's right, the E71 has changed from the initial ugly to the later trendy fashion, with global sales exceeding 10 million units, becoming the "arcade machine" in 2008.
The reason why E71 should use a full keyboard is because the BlackBerry phone was very popular in the United States back then, and Nokia launched this full keyboard S60 mobile phone according to the gourd at that time. Don't underestimate this kind of keyboard,After playing well, typing is very fast,I didn't use E71 to contribute SMS fees to mobile back then,1 cent,I always have to send hundreds of messages a month。 Fortunately, later the mobile phone QQ became popular, and it was possible to run a 20 yuan unlimited data package, saving a lot of phone bills every month.
The most recognizable on the back of the E71 is this all-metal back cover, which is scratch-resistant and wear-resistant and has a grade, and mobile phones such as E51 and E66 in the same period also adopt a similar design. The back also uses a 3.2 million pixel camera that supports autofocus, and the photo effect is average. In addition, do you remember, at that time, Nokia S60 mobile phones liked to use ARM11 this CPU, the main frequency was 369MHz, and the back cover of the mobile phone would not heat up for a long time at that time.
That's right,At that time, E71 was also an analog machine,Because the horizontal screen can display the game screen of GBA and other games in full screen,Then map the four keys of W、X、A、D to the arrow keys,L、K to map to A、B keys,You can play GBA games perfectly。 I remember that at that time, GBA's "Castlevania - Dawn Waltz" was cleared on E71, and it was no problem to play action games, and the picture was better than the original GBA machine, after all, it was a QVGA backlit screen. Now buying a second-hand GBA is more expensive than a second-hand E71, which is really incomprehensible.
