After what seems like an eternal tease by Nokia...the Boy Genius Report actually has a pre-production E71 in their hands...

How long will it be until AT&T picks this phone up...if at all? Any guesses? Any insider knowledge? Any word from AT&T to employees?

I want it!!

It's the first S60 phone that I have ever really wanted since it's actually smaller/slimmer than the BlackBerry Curve, has a metal body, and isn't a slider like the N95.

I want it too, but unfortunately Nokia's smartphones and at&t don't really get along.

here's to hoping though...

They don't get along? That's the first time I have ever heard that...

What problems are you referring to?

I feel like that's more a contractual situation rather than a compatibility issue...

The s60 phones that att carries from nokia don't function like there straight from nokia counterparts. Perfect examples are the ATT e62 / Nokia e61 and the ATT n75 / Nokia n75. It has to do with how att makes nokia program their version of firmware.

I'd only get an e71/n95 device or any s60 device from att only if i was sure I could debrand it to Nokias firmware version like you can with the n75.

Better hope we can get it unlocked. If its coming out on att then you know they're gonna "Verizon" it all up. Id rather just have it unlocked then have to debrand it.

buy.com lists the E71 unlocked for $418.99 right now. really a great price for such an awesome phone, I can't wait!

I'm just really sad as I had read about a July release date and now I'm hearing august.

I can't live with this Treo 650 much longer, and there's nothing else even slightly interesting in the pipeline (the blackberry bold is mildly stimulating but I hate the bb platform).
