Chinese E71 (RM-493) Differences

The current E71 being sold in mainland China does not have WiFi 802.11b/g WLAN networking, 3G, or a front mounted camera. There is no reduction in price for phones lacking these features, and you can not get these features back with a firmware update, because the hardware is not there.^[7] The E71 phones sold in Macao and Hong Kong are not lacking these features. The software bundled with the Chinese version is slightly different, as it also has a QQ client, along with some other Chinese specific programs.
