I received my first device from WOMworld today, a Nokia E71, white version. I am really excited to try out this device and have a chance to be a part of the WOMworld program, which allows people like me that enjoy writing about technology and new toys to give it a hands-on run through for a couple weeks to really put the device through its paces. Included in the box were the E71, a whopping 1500mAh BP-4L battery, a nice white leather carrying case, headphones with a 2.5" jack, software, assorted manuals, and a european-style charger, so I will use my current ones to keep this puppy charged up.
This also comes as perfect timing, because the screen on my N82 went on the fritz the other day, and I have been rocking my older N75 for the past week. And, although I received my N82 back from warranty repair already, I had just enough time to install the apps I need on it so I can really give the E71 its full two week workout. A "business-class" phone, the E71 sports only a 3.2 megapixel camera with an LED flash. Though not as nice as my N82, the N75 is only a 2 megapixel camera and takes outdoor daytime photos really well, so it will be fun to see how this falls into the mix. Initial unboxing, there's a monster in there!
As you can see from this unboxing video, the package came with Kiano, who is purportedly one of the original creator of Nokia Maps. Although he's really cool and will find a place on my shelf, what would have been better would be a Kiano costume! Halloween is fast approaching and I have no idea what to be.
Thanks to NseriesUS, I was introduced to TnkGrl's website and she also recently received an E71 from WOMworld. Notice that hers was the silver/black version. For some reason, I was thinking the two versions were an all-silver, and the the silver-white one I received you can see in the photos and video. Although I am worried about how it will handle getting dirty, I think I actually like the white one a bit better.
Also, I think the ability to try out new phones will be a perfect compliment to my participation in the S60 Ambassadors program, I have talked about the E71 a bit to others based on what I have read, but nothing beats good ole hands-on experience!
Edit: I didn't finish listing the box contents on the initial post. I was too excited to get playing!

"Giggles as Fey as PALIN: ... And I know some people are going to say I'm only saying that to pander to Florida voters, but from a very young age, my two greatest loves were always Nokia and Cuban food."
Enjoy that badboy -- I can however confirm that it is so slim and light you can actually leave it in your pocket, go swimming for five minutes and not notice it is there ... this is the shamefaced voice of experience talking. There is no better phone in terms of managing and handling contacts and Nokia should consider spreading the joy of its improvements in the E71 to other new handsets.
