Guys,

I am looking at Nokia E71, but have a few questions:

1. Is the speaker/call quality (i.e. the other person's voice) a major problem? I had an E61i before and faced very low speaker voice, maybe because of the form factor of the form. Is it so in E71's case as well?

What I want is a speaker that belts out voice loud enough to be heard clearly in crowded places/traffic.

2. How does the GPS thingy work? After the 3 months of free usage, what is the subscription charge? Are there any alternative/free/cheaper (but effective) GPS applications?

3. Do you need to have a special GPRS data plan for the GPS, or does a plain vanilla Vodafone Live (pay per use) plan work fine?

4. Is there a newer firmware than 200.21.118? I read a lot of 'major' glitches in this version at least! (Read Viper's review. He had to sell the phone! Now thats 'SERIOUS')
