e71 is a great phone as it allows a lot of applications to be added to the phone to enhance the user experience and get more out of your E71.
Facebook is one of the popular destinations for Internet users and this is confirmed by the fact that Facebook received 87.7 million unique visits last month (July 2009) and the visitors from US grew by 14% in the same month!
OPTIONS AVAILABLE
So what are the options available for accessing Facebook via E71? There are a few.
Facebook App for E71
Since the latest firmware update the Facebook application is available as a default application on
E71. As soon as you update your firmware Facebook would be available under installations folder (My Space is the other application that is added in the latest firmware). Some of the users argue that this application is nothing but a link which opens the Facebook website in your browser. That is true and if you like doing that (going to the browser and going to m.facebook.com) you are more than welcome to do that.
With the Facebook application or mobile interface you can
- Post status updates
- Review notifications
- View newsfeeds
- Comment on friend's status
- Search for Friends
- View and write walls
- View photos
- Poke friends
- See events and Groups
If you are having trouble updating the firmware of the phone you can download the application here.

Thanks so much for update. Will try it now.
How can i get Facebook work in Gravity? i'm using Nokia e71 with Gravity version 1.20.6002 but failed to show facebook account. any ideas?
Thanks for this(my wife has an e71). Though it is still really sad that in 2009 there still isn't a decent facebook app for symbian. They've even got one for Android now. What is wrong with symbian? the Iphone facebook app (now version 3.0) leaves the web version for e71 in the dust. If this keeps on going, phones like the e71, despite how good they are, are in trouble in the long term.

The FB for gravity still a beta version, you need to email to info@mobileways.de,
ole@mobileways.de
and ask him to enable the FB feature (also send him your phone IMEI no.)
another way to contact him is twitter @janole
Hope this could be help
I want to update my firmware directly from my phone. Can you help. my phone was bought in the UK. any help
I would like to know how to update my phone's firmware directly from the phone using wifi. Can you help me with the procedure.
you cant update the firmware over the air on the E71, you need to use the nokia updater.
Neat looking application, no updates, cannot see old posts, too long winded to move around the application, slow to load. Let's hope the next update to it is better, good start though.
Thanks anon. I will try this.
It says on my e71 that the cretificate for the application doesnt work… what do i do?
E71 is great mobile but not continue with the new features what I need now!I need to expand more memory and 3G and GSM but now I have to buy other iphone!here I like some information for update and upgrade.Thanks for this information.
Fring have no more support for facebook :@
The opera mobile browser works very well on the E71, and Facebook is excellent in this browser, so that's another option worth considering.
snaptu es muy bueno , facebook , twitter, noticias del futbol local e internacional , estado del clima...... muy buena aplicacion .
Gracias, furtiv ya dejo de ser gratis, y solamente lo usaba para subir fotos a face, en cambio snaptu, es para otras muchas cosas mas....
bye
