    2 Stars Nokia N70: not bad, but not as a comms. device 18/11/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Hmmm ... errr, large colour screen?

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too many to list -- read my review (if you have a spare hour)

    Ok, so I might be about the only one to bad-mouth this phone, but I really think Nokia have conceived and constructed a dud with this model. Facts first: * I don't actually 'own' this mobile -- it was the one that got doled out to all employees when the company changed network providers. * This was a replacement to the diminuative Nokia 6230 tied to the Orange network. * I am reviewing this phone mostly from a business-use perspective and not a recreational/personal ownership one The Story: When we were all told that the company was changing providers, which meant new phones, I was kind of ... more

    4 Stars A look into the future with Nokia's N70 04/05/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Its fab, stylish, looks and feels great

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be slow to open applications, scratches easily

    Usually once a year there comes a time when we get all excited and yet nervous, it's a bit like Christmas, will we get what we want or will it be a big disappointment and we'll have to wait til next year and start over again...yes its time to chose a new phone!! Having finally decided to go for a Nokia N70 in January this year, for reasons of versatility over my existing Nokia 6230, stylish looks, more megapixels for the camera (2 mp), it was actually really difficult to get hold of. It's quite hard choosing a phone just from seeing a dummy one or reading the specs but this time I read a few ... more

    4 Stars Multimedia machine 29/03/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, does everything you'll ever need

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery length and size of keys

    NOKIA N70 --- Every year, I receive a free phone upgrade through Orange, and this year I went into the shop not having a clue of what I wanted. I looked around at all the models available, and decided I would go for something that was more than just a phone, that could organise my life for me, and do much more. I ended up taking home the Nokia N70. IN THE BOX --- Inside the box of the Nokia N70, you will find the phone itself, and a few other accessories. The first is the charger. It is a standard English 3-pin charger, with an adapter for European use too. There is a CD-Rom which can be used ... more

    5 Stars Nokia N70 Review by Stevengw 26/11/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Everything from the camera right through to the mp3

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The amount of people who under-estimate it (not the phones fault)

    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. First of all, i will talk about problems i\'ve seen other ciao members discuss. 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 ... more

    5 Stars Slide and Shoot!! 12/06/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages So many features!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Teeny tiny buttons. Plus the phone is quite bulky and heavy

    Well it looks as if just about everyone on the site has done a review on this phone, but hey here goes! Well ill just start by saying that this was the best phone i ever used. And i really hated to lose it when it got broken. Yes, my one year old daughter threw it down the toilet! She thought it was hilarious. Okay ill admit it was kinda funny! :) But back to the review! Well this phone has got just about ever feature you could imagine a phone would have. Forget buying yourself a calculator, an mp3 player, even a digital camera, they're all there. I'll start by listing all of the features this ... more

    5 Stars Nokia's N70 is an all-round mobile masterpiece 19/10/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Amazing imaging suite, 2 megapixel camera, full range of features.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery talk time average.

    Introduction The N70 is going to be very big indeed - even though it is Nokia's smallest smartphone to date. Put simply, Nokia has extended its Series 60 range with a really superb mobile. The manufacturer has paid attention to maintaining the highest quality in every aspect of this handset, from the display, to the simple operating system and the variety of communication channels this phone can handle. One of the first things you will notice when you prise your gleaming new N70 from its box is that its charger socket is much smaller than most Nokias - this will better prevent foreign objects ... more

    4 Stars I have died and gone to Nokia heaven 13/06/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Compact, powerful and god dam sexy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages USB connection does not work with Apple Macs

    So I decided to upgrade and this seemed like a good option. Its the first phone I have ever upgraded to without actually having a play with it before buying. I was thankfully releaved to see that it has the same easy use, plug and go logic as all nokia phones. On first contact my only slight dissapointment was the feel of the back sliding case. Whilst the front of the phone feels expensive and sturdy, the camera cover has a real plastic/cheap feeling about it. I was a little nervous about sliding the cover because with a little too much force it looks like it could come away from the phone ... more

    4 Stars Nokia N70 Old But Still Great! 04/08/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good Range Of Features. Changeable Covers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Looks a little outdated now

    Last Tuesday my Nokia N95 just broke. Literally it just broke, I woke up went to pick up my phone and it was dead, not what you'd expect from a £500 phone. But, it's gone in for repair and I've gone back to my N70. Frankly I'm beginning to wonder why I ever wanted to change my N70. It's always been reliable and I've never had a single problem or fault with it. The N70 is a bit of a "brick", but when I bought this phone I was working on building sites so I need something pretty robust. This is a good solidly built phone and the sort of quality we know Nokia are capable of producing. I would say ... more

    4 Stars Yay for free upgrades! 01/06/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Large screen, lots of features, good software packages

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Difficult to navigate, small memory capacity, slightly oversized

    Indeed because, if the world didn't involve free upgrades, I'd still have my old Nokia 3210 out of sheer reluctance to shell out for technology that changes as fast as that of the mobile phone. However, in the need to sort out my O2 contract to a cheaper one, I rang up their nice people and said, oi, change it, s'il vous plait, and they did and then they said, so, what handset would you like with that? And I went, ooo, hadn't thought of that, because last time I changed contract it was through some dodgy company and they didn't exactly give me any choice, and I ended up with the same phone I'd ... more
