~ Although there are lots of reviews out there about this phone, (Negative and positive) I have been happy with my purchase. I have managed to get to grips with it fairly easily and not even read the instruction manual yet. It has a large screen which helps with the graphics, but it also has small buttons, which are easily pressed if you have large fingers! I've always been happy with the quality of Nokia phones and this one is no exception. It is a bigger phone than I've had in the past, which does take a bit of getting used to, as most phones seem to be getting smaller, but that is something about this phone which I prefer. I bought a thin rubber case off Ebay which protects it a little from scratches and from sliding out of your pocket! The cover also stops you from accidentally sliding open the camera. The only problem with it though is, you have to remove the cover to take photos, which can be a bit fiddly when you need to capture something quickly.
I've taken a few photos, uploaded them to the pc and the quality is ok, I don't use it as a main camera but is good enough to capture pictures when you need to.
I love to download new ringtones and games, and although I have already found lots of new ones there is still lots of memory space for other things, such as messages/photos/videos.
I have also found the profiles setting helpful, I can save all the settings I require of the phone whilst I am work, i.e. vibration/silent etc then only have to press 1 or 2 buttons to change to normal settings without going through every option.

~ The Nokia N70 is the first of the Nokia Nseries smartphones to be released in the UK. The N70 is a 3G smartphone, similar to the popular and successful 6680, but with upgraded features. The internal memory of the device is 30 Mbytes, with the addition of a 64 Mbyte MMC card which can be hot-swapped. Connectivity is via Bluetooth or USB. The RealPlayer media player supports video playback in MPEG4 format, plus audio in a choice of formats including MP3, AAC, Real Audio, WAV and Nokia Ring Tones. The Visual Radio lets you listen to songs from radio stations, with information about the song and artist. The display on the N70 is very good with 262k colours and a bright active matrix display. It's a great multimedia device.
