The latest buzz in mobile town is that there has been a bug in the much-anticipated Nokia E71x’s firmware, which involves email, which was one of the most important factors of this device. Considering this problem, AT&T has had to push back the launch of this mobile phone, while it desperately tries to fix the irritating bug.
Really sad. The Nokia E71 has been doing its round all through North America since July 2008 and this AT&T version of the smartphone has been hyped only too much. Our deepest sympathies to all you Symbian fans out there, tut tut.
Anyway, the silver lining here is that the delay may come with a price break – probably it would cost only about $149.99 on contract after rebate launch. Of course, this is only a rumor. But that will not stop us from hoping for the best. Are you listening, AT&T?

Remember we have mentioned just last week that the Nokia E71 and many other phones are expected to be available very soon in the market? Well, the latest news is that Nokia E71 will be entering the market along with AT&T, from April 1st. Yup, it is going to happen that soon!
More details about the Nokia E71 – this is of course, one of the very sought-after Nokia Eseries. The general specs of this 2G/3G Symbian-powered smartphone include GSM, HSDPA, EDGE, Wi-Fi, WAP, Bluetooth and USB. The phone comes with a 2.36” TFT display, full QWERTY keyboard and unique five-way scroll key. Having a 110MB storage capacity, there is also a microSD slot for expandable memory up to 8GB. Additional specs include a 3.15MP autofocus camera with LED flash, FM Radio and Java downloadable games.
Take a look at the pictures of this wonderful smartphone.

Nokia, always known to be an innovator, has actually gone ahead and become arty with its messages. Their “Text Art” widget for the E71 Eseries smartphone completely transforms your SMS messages into a beautiful work of art. This application, created by “generative artist”, Marius Watz, can either be downloaded as wallpapers or sent to friends via MMS.
We will hopefully get to see this cool application on more Nokia handsets in the near future. You never know, maybe another artist would get inspired enough to create something similar on many other platforms as well. Anyway, the Text Art application for Nokia E71 is absolutely free and can be downloaded here.

The best news is that the LG Zenon (or the LG Xenon) is scheduled for arrival sometime during mid-April. The even more awaited-for AT&T’s E71x, better known as the Nokia E71, should hit the market next month or so. We have all been waiting too long for the Verizon Wireless’ Nokia 7205 Intrigue. It is now believed that this phone will finally surface in just a few days’ time. Hold your breath, guys, we are all in for a good deal of excitement!
