However, IMHO the camera is really nothing to write home about - not because of the megapixels, but because of the image quality (visual noise, color fidelity, etc).

Stainless steel casing makes the phone look very solid built and of high quality.The QWERTY keypad makes it a strong alternative of Blackberry Bold. Somebody accused it not having better camera and 3.5mm audio jack but I think 3.2 mp is enough because the E71 is business dedicated.

I don't see any reference to faxing in the manual... as to third party apps, you can check that as well as I (to be honest, that's one capability I don't foresee needing - share if you have a use case I missed!) 2. Language switching is done by pressing CAPS+Space together, which brings up a menu with a language item - select it and you get the choice of Hebrew and English. Not as fast as on a large keyboard in Windows but reasonable for a handheld, I suppose. Hey Omer,

Is it possible to receive and send FAX messages via Nokia E71 (at least using an add-on application)? 2. How easy is it to switch between Hebrew and English when entering text? Two questions:
