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

Advantages: Its fab, stylish, looks and feels great Disadvantages: Can be slow to open applications, scratches easily
...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 reviews as well. At first they made me more confused - so is my review going to help anyone I ask myself?! I think they helped ...

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.

Inside the box of the Nokia N70, you will find the phone itself, and a few ...

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)
4. Not Enough Memory: Just buy another memory card lol - or you can get either "Stacker" or "Space Doubler" - Which are automated compressors, which compress your programs
5. Difficult To Navigate: This is generally a big problem to people who have just entered into the technology world. All ...

Then underneath there is like a 'mini menu', it provides shortcuts to your preferred features in the phone. You can, of course, change these shortcuts, or get rid of the menu completely (for examole, if you have a fancy wallpaper! The menu really gets in the way!),but ...

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 ...

...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.
The cover again is a little bit of a distraction when opening up the phone to ...

Advantages: Good Range Of Features. Changeable Covers 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 ...

...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 ...

~DragonPaladin Reviews Nokia N70~
Wow, such an amazing phone, I don't know where to start, overall, this phone has a almost perfect build, a very powerful processor, and a very spacious internal memory(Not to mention the fact that it, unlike many Motorola phones, takes external memory cards).
The first thing you probably notice is it has two cameras, don't be fooled, this is cool and all, but the front camera is really weak, really weak indeed, ...

Extras/Support
Being a Nokia compatability and extras are not normally a problem, as is the case with the N70. The charge point on the N70 is smaller than usuall but an adapter is supplied to allow you to use your existing Nokia charger / car charger.
As I have said the memory cards are a standard card readily available from most electrical outlets.
Nokia have a very good website listing all available extras and any ...

...phone, I plumped for the Nokia N70 whilst staying on O2. I went for the 12month contract and pay £50 for the phone instead of getting the phone for free, but commit to an 18 month contract - I will want to change before that!!
Opening the box with anticipation I was met with a good looking phone (I'd only ever seen the dummy model in the shops) and it has a good weight to it - but not too much that it affects the phone. The sim card is easy to put ...
