I’ve noticed that there have been searches for “Nokia E71x Philippines” the past few days, thereby I am constructing this post. Let it remain a fact, that the Nokia E71x clad in Black Steel is an AT&T USA exclusive.

Just in case you are curious, there are just minor differences between the available Nokia E71 Black Steel and the Nokia E71x. The former runs on Symbian Series 60 3rd Edition with Feature Pack 1 while the latter runs on Symbian Series 60 3rd Edition with Feature Pack 2.

Given that the E71x runs on AT&T firmware, they might have disabled some functionalities. As of the moment, for those in the Philippines, the only way you can get your hands on a Nokia E71x is if you get one from AT&T in the US. With that said, you also have to try your luck to get them to give you the unlock code.

Hopefully, somewhere down the road, Nokia Philippines would wake up to their senses and offer Philippines-based owners of the Nokia E71 a free firmware update to Feature Pack 2.
