We love the all-round design and function of the Nokia E71, it's a mid-range smartphone that simply gets the job done. It packs in everything we expect, from a good sized screen to a great QWERTY keyboard. Now it seems we can start our affair with it all over again, as it's now shipping in the colour that goes with everything in our wardrobe - BLACK!

Orange has gone and bagged itself an exclusive on the Nokia E71 Black and is now offering it to contract customers.

If you want to get hold of the Nokia E71 Black for free, then you'll need to sign up to one of the Orange deals, such as the Dolphin 35 deal, which costs £30 a month if you order online, or £35 if you go through the shop. This deal covers an 18 month contract but gives you unlimited texts and 600 minutes talktime.

If you don't mind handing over a little cash for a cheaper monthly bill, the Dolphin 25 is just £20 a month is ordered online and gives you unlimited texts again but juts 200 minutes with the bundle. The Nokia E71 will cost you £117 to get your hands on though. We'd suggest doing the math and working out your needs before parting with your dosh.

The Nokia E71 Black looks great in its new colour, so is it now the ideal choice for those who need to be booted and suited in matching attire? For the full skinny, take a trip over to Orange.
