Many of you have been writing some pretty strange cons to this phone, such as "It crashes frequently", "Slow to open applications", "battery life" and the classic "not enough memory" - Well this is not only a review, but a, well sort of a "Help File" too for you to get round some problems.

1. It Crashes Frequently: This hasn't been a problem with me to be honest, and i install a lot of programs on my phone, though if it does seem to crash a lot, you can update its firmware using a computer. This is brilliant, since it repairs bugs in previous phones, and makes it a lot faster too. Also make sure there isn\'t anything clogging up in the device manager. It does have a file explorer, though you can use the freeware FExplorer from gosymbian to view it. Have a look in there to see for any useless files - I know .jar and .sis files tend to build up in folders when they haven't been installed, also, move files, games etc to a memory card (RS-MMC, and a 64mb does come with it), as this will help you. It could also be the software you are using - Some large applications (particulary emulators) can take up a lot of RAM and cause your phone to crash. and check to see if you have any start-up programs - as this slows your phone down dramatically. You can tell if a program does start-up automatically by looking in its settings, or get a process viewer, as this shows all the active theads.

2. Slow to open applications: This might be because the program doesn't support the N70, or some products like Adobe Reader generally loads quite slowly (Same as the PC version). The best thing is to check if that version supports the N70 (generally the operating system as a whole [Symbian OS 8.1])
You can also move applications to folders, as this can save some time opening them, and opening the menu.

The N70's battery life seems fine to me, though i have 2 other batteries anyway (Its always handy to have 2 extra nokia phones)
And you can get a better battery, though you probably cant use the back cover with it (e.g. the N-Gage QD's battery)

7. Weak Front Camera: This is because its meant for video calling, and to put a 2mp camera at the front would be stupid, since its easier to call from a 0.3mp (the front camera) rather than a 2mp, due to the fact it'll cost a lot in terms of data usage, and it will make it look very laggy on another phone.

It also has USB (Pop Port), though you will need the drivers for it.

It also has a lot of cool apps as default too, such as the extended gallery, a file manager plus much more.

4. Audio/Vido Playback: it comes with real player and a great mp3 player, plus a radio for that little bit extra for you. Its quality and volume are brilliant, alongside the video, which displays video's perfectly.

6. The screen: It has a great screen, it looks great and the device can be customised via its themes, thanks to its symbian OS

8. Note that i originally missed out (thanks to COOOEEE for reminding me) is that it has brilliant reception in all areas and networks plus brilliant call quality, the handset does have a loudspeaker and a headset, plus great, odd-looking & feeling headphones to take the calls. Alongside the great quality, it has one of the best call times i've seen - And if you want to take control of call barring, there is great software to block spam messages and completly blocks phone calls, which altogether makes this phone not a phone, but something more...

Quick note: Many people would like to play other formats on this phone, i reccommend you look for OggPlayMMF and CorePlayer - With these two apps it can make your phone a true media station. And as the ultimate cherry on the top, it can play n-gage games too!
