Advantages: Multimedia especially Music excellent, Robust, easy to use Disadvantages: Expensive, a bit bulky, can lose its good looks fast
...ever had. I am pleased Nokia finally entered the clam market and this is the result.
The overriding quality is the multimedia capability of this phone, the radio and music player is on the front of phone and is excellent, very user friendly and handy, If you add the 2GB memory card it basically replaces your Ipod which it has for me as you can store 500 songs on it then. The fact it uses normal earphone socket is very appealing too. ... ...you always expect from a Nokia phone in terms of the interface and menus, which is very important - no random questions and illogical poaths like you get with a Samsung. With the amount of shortcuts and buttons instantly available you can pretty much get to anywhere you want on the phone in two button pushes. The texting is as easy as ever, as Nokia tend to do this best, again far better than the Motorola Razr.
I was given the N76 as a free upgrade 5 months ago and was going to sell it on to a friend, I am glad I did not, I have to say this is the best phone I have ever had. I am pleased Nokia finally entered the clam market and this is the result.
The overriding quality is the multimedia capability of this phone, the radio and music player is on the front of phone and is excellent, very user friendly and handy, If you add the 2GB memory card it basically replaces your Ipod which it has for me as you can store 500 songs on it then. The fact it uses normal earphone socket is very appealing too. It has a great set of Headphones with it with multi functions so you can change radio channel and volume without even having to touch the phone. The software for PC is also some of the best I have seen for a phone and allows you top create playlists add and remove songs then update the phone and is not dissimilar from Itunes
Making calls is easy it has voice recognition and the hands free through the earphones is also excellent quality, I rarely have a problem in this area
It has the common sense you always expect from a Nokia phone in terms of the interface and menus, which is very important - no random questions and illogical poaths like you get with a Samsung. With the amount of shortcuts and buttons instantly available you can pretty much get to anywhere you want on the phone in two button pushes. The texting is as easy as ever, as Nokia tend to do this best, again far better than the Motorola Razr.
Not only in my opinion it is one of the most stylish looking phones in the market in anty colour (black always best!), as Nokia are like the Volvo of Mobile Phones as usual it takes a challenger tank to break it and it is very robust, I will say however the screen does not stay clean long and the metal does start to scratch, but I am not the best for maintaining phones!
The internet is pretty good too and probably the best you are going to get out of a screen that is not the size of a PSP or an IPhone, easy to navigate and scroll around different web pages and it is quite fast also.
It had a great media gallery allowing you to flick through with ease again coupled with software for the PC and the cameras are of a very good quality
With a very impressive battery time considering its capability overall I can do nothing but recommend this phone, it has everything you need, built to last and can even save you buying an Ipod
Ok, Lets start from the beggining....
This phone was created to be a fashion phone, and so function is something which was considered after looks. I personally have the black version so, it isn;t such a girly phone compared to the red in the picture
Shape :
The phone has a great shape, same as the motorola Razr series (which i periviously owned). A tiny bit more chunky-ier than the razr but it does have more functions. The flip itself has it's ... ...with 1 hand as there is no finger "groove" to get any grip to flip open, however the flip isn;t spring operate so it can be left half open. (handy for long video calls)
Still a very good looking phone, Very fashionable (note, i said fashionable, not just for girls)
Function:
Of course, it is a phone so by default it can call people. There is the function for Video calling, Bluetooth, mp3, video play back, Camera ,expandable memory and the list ...

Quick review of Nokia N76
Very sleek and sexy. Bought this to replace the dismal N80 which I absolutely hated due to its pathetic slide which decided to open in your pocket whenever it felt like it and dial phone book numbers. Anyway back on to the N76. Slim & robust. Feels very sturdy. Packed with features. Flip is a little annoying because there is no spring so it is a two handed job to open it up but after the N80 that is a small price to pay. Sound is great. Keypad superb. Just looks the part and so far I have no regrets whatsoever. Mirrored finish does not shine for long!!!!!!!!!! Gets too greasy from the fingers :-( My advice. Go on just buy it! ...

Advantages: Good features Disadvantages: Build Quality, battery life, price too much to list
...razr but thats where the simlarity ends. The nokia wins on features but thats it, the motorola's build quality is in another league. Not worth the money at all and this has put me off Nokia's for life! Steer clear! I think this is the worst phone ever EVER had. ...
