Nokia N70

...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 ...
...LCD lights up with the Nokia logo, it fades, it lights up again, it fades, lights up... and it does this several times. After 30 seconds of nothing happening I turn it off again (with some difficulty I might add) and check and re-check that the sim is sitting in its slot properly and the battery is seated in line with its contacts, etc. etc. Turn it on again -- same thing. After another 30 seconds I turn it off once more and do the checking thing ...

Review of Nokia N70

...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 me ...
...for normal size MMC slots, Nokia stereo headset HS-3 (which twists itself in knots!), battery, travel charger AC-4, connectivity cable (USB), CD Rom, user guide and add-on application guide. Initial thoughts Blimey this is a bit different from the norm but I love it!! I like the grey/silver cover, the weight is fine - not too heavy nor too light (126g). It has a nice, bigger than average sized screen for pictures and menu options (main colour display: ...

This phone has a 2 mega pixel camera, which makes the N70 a very powerful imagining device. It has a 20x digital zoom, and a choice of modes including ...

Review of Nokia N70

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 ...

You can write a text message here and it selects the type of message you need automatically. You can also read your unread messages, and check your e-mail if you have set that up on your phone. If you have 3 unread messages, a number 3 appears on your display next to the message icon, ...

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 i ...

Once they are all there, it wont be so slow. There is also some pretty good image viewers out on the market too, and you can also use a file explorer (such as FExplorer) to open images. 7. Weak Front Camera: This is because its meant for video calling, and to put a 2mp camera ...

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 ...

Review of Nokia N70

...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 ...

Also included in the box is the PC software CD, various manuals, a PC USB data cable, a 32Mb memory card, some top-of-the-range Nokia headphones and a wrist-strap. Getting Started There is a little button on the top to turn the phone on, and the port on the bottom of the phone is the standard Nokia one. The control panel is also a standard Nokia compilation, with responsive ...

Review of Nokia N70

...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 put ...
...you are not familiar with nokia covers. The rest of the items contained within the box are actually very good. Although the headset is stylishly white and likely to get grubby quickly, the charger, usb cable and other little items make it feel and look like you are getting what you pay for. The camera takes MMC cards which is a good solution and is an easy and cheap item to upgrade if needed. Its a little fiddly to put the card in, and you are supplied ...

Review of Nokia N70

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 ...
...sort of quality we know Nokia are capable of producing. I would say that I've dropped this phone on the floor at least 100 times whilst I was at work. Yet everytime it has still worked, and other than a few scuffs and chips to the housing, there hasn't been any problems. Being a Nokia replacement housings where available easily on e-bay for just £5.00 so I replaced it around every 6 weeks. There are various coloured housings available for this phone ...

Review of Nokia N70

...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 ...
...had a look at the Nokia phones and went - that one! In that moment, the size of the screen seemed critical because, yeah, I'm the kind of person that just likes to have something nice to look at during their day, and it seemed the N70 would provide that. Two days later, indeed, this morning, a large box turned up, and lo and behold, here it is! It's silver, it's got a near two inch square screen, it's not very small (just too big to fit comfortably ...

Review of Nokia N70

...to get hold of a Nokia N70 free of charge. This did two things, made me breathe a huge sigh of relief that I wouldn't have to wander around with the ugly Sendo phone I have previously reviewed and secondly I could return to a Nokia handset. The phone is labelled as the ultimate in mobile phone technology and not only looks stylish it has an amazing array of features packed within the relatively small shell which comes in a lovely silver colour and ...
...you would expect from a Nokia phone. Basically the phone allows you to: Send and receive SMS and MMS text messages. The large screen allows you to see more text before needing to scroll down and means that when typing lengthy messages you don't have to keep going backwards and forwards to see what you have already written. Store names and telephone numbers. I have 14 names in my phone so I am nowhere near filling up this section but I would imagine ...

Review of Nokia N70

~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, ...

Review of Nokia N70

...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 product support you might need. ...
...but after looking on the Nokia official website I found that you can download and install a viewer for free to view word, excell, power point and pdf type files. I don't know why they haven't installed this as standard, maybe its to save memory if you don't need the function but I was quite impressed that it was available and for free. Overall I haven't had any problems yet and am very impressed so far. It has the looks and the functionality to ...

Review of Nokia N70

...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 ...
...on the phone plays the nokia theme and shows the joining hands - but it took a while to get to that point - about 30seconds in all. I feel that this is a bit slow for a phone to boot up, but thought that the phone should be ready to use from that point. Once on and 'ready' I went to read the text messages from O2 that were coming in, but they took about 12seconds each to actually come up. Not the best start! Once all the texts were received and ...

Review of Nokia N70

...things first - I'm a Nokia junkie. I'm an unabashed, unashamed Nokia fan. And this phone, as the title suggest, i a little piece of gadget heaven. Unfortunately, its so much fun to use, and so easy to use, that I seem to spend more time doing cool new things with my Nokia Wunder-Gizmo that actually talking to my friends! I've had a mobile phone since they had aerials sticking out of them (about 10 years), and my first one was a Nokia. Like most ...
...the things that make a Nokia great are evidnet in the N70. The usual navigation remains, so picking up the phone for the first time is pretty easy. There are no major surprises on where things are in the phones browser. And as with older Nokia models, the classic functions still exist in the same place - phone settings to SIlent/Meeting/Outdoors, the Phone settings for Language and style etc.etc. So, why purchase the N70? I was fortunate enough ...
