Luckily the E71 has an amazing and comfortable QWERTY keyboard, and  for fast on the go texting it does an amazing job, but for longer emails, articles and even journalism the keyboard is just not enough. By the way, did you know that Reuters uses Nokia devices and portable keyboards to take pictures and then send the story for fast publishing?  Reuters journalists usually use the SU-8W to write their articles while on the go, because of the SU-8W portability it can be taken to the most remote places. To power the SU-8W there is a little slot to inster two AAA batteries, but alhtough one could thing that they drain really fast they proved to be very durable and resistant. That is why Reuters Journalists use the SU-8W for their work.

So going back to the topic, the E71 has a nice keyboard, but there is another option for power users, it is called the Nokia SU-8W. The Nokia SU-8W is afull computer sized Bluetooth foldable portable QWERTY keyboard. When folded the SU-8W fits easily in any pocket and its weight is considerable to take it anywhere. With the SU-8W ht E71 becomes a full computer, the experience is great and I found the SU-8W very efficient to complete multiple tasks, I even write full posts and articles with just my E71 and the SU-8W

The SU-8W has a S60 button for fast menu access, a Messaging button and the D-Pad as well as both soft keys, the Nokia SU-8W can control the E71 entirely, there is no need to touch the device once that those are paired. The Nokia SU-8W also has a really cool POP OUT stand to stand the E71. The stand is really useful for other tasks as well, for exapmple to leaave it on your desk or your night table to put your E71 as an alarm clock. You definitevely should consider a SU-8W, it has worked great for me and makes the experience more DESKTOP-LIKE. Enjoy this pictures!
