Nokia E71 Games 320x240

Before diving into the list, a quick technical note. The E71 runs S60v3 Feature Pack 1. Unlike Nokia's touchscreen phones (like the 5800) or their larger screened siblings (N95), the E71 is landscape-oriented. If you try to install a game designed for a 240x320 portrait screen, it will either crash on launch or only occupy a tiny postage stamp in the center of your display.

The curse? Gaming for more than 20 minutes led to “E71 thumb” – a cramp from holding the wide, metal brick while mashing keys. Also, many Java games expected a portrait number pad (2,4,6,8 for movement). On the E71, you awkwardly mapped them to Q,W,E, etc., leading to finger origami.
