Mainland China E71 (RM-493) differences

The E71 currently being sold in mainland China does not have Wi-Fi 802.11b/g WLAN networking or a back mounted camera. 3G was also excluded, because licenses for 3G in mainland China were only approved in early 2009. [6]

There is no reduction in price for phones lacking these features and a firmware update will not bring them back because the hardware itself is missing. [7] The E71 sold in Macau and Hong Kong do not lack these features. The software bundled with the Chinese version is slightly different, as it also has a QQ client, along with some other Chinese specific programs.

Reception

The E71 received highly positive critical reception. It was widely praised for its battery life, software features like push email, slim design and hardware including keyboard. [8] [9] [10] [11] A Trusted Reviews reviewer gave it 5 stars out of 5. [12] CNET UK wrote: "While we don't like the camera, we think the rest is pretty close to perfect". [13] TechRadar called it a "terrific" device in a "well thought out package", listing the lack of a 3.5 mm headphone jack as the only disadvantage. [14]

Some publications dubbed it a "BlackBerry killer" or "iPhone killer". [15] [16]
