and here is a quick pic of my N70
Posted by masseur
I was quite tempted to get an N70 but both Vodafone and cPW told me it was quite bug ridden and they were getting alot of returns
this was a couple of months back so is it more stable now?
Posted by ScottMcG
just ordered min this morning..hope i've made the right choice
can't wait to get it.
hopfully it should arrive tuesday
Posted by BobaFett
i liked it cam, but the keypad is disappointed imo and the card slot solution aswell, so i turned to 6680 again
Posted by pow1990

I hate my N70 it's the worst phone i have ever owned...
I am really looking forward to the SE K800 so i can put my N70 in the trashcan where it belongs...
Posted by kk.226
I'll have it mate
what cams it got, 2mp?
Posted by mob453
Got a brand new n70 free from 3 upgrades this week, sadly it came with v2 firmware, so I had to get it upgraded to v5 so it works fine.
Posted by *Jojo*
I got mine last March and sold it after 4 days! I did not like it's 2 mp camera, se k750's is a lot better. I should have gotten the N90 instead! Will post my N70's pic later.
Posted by pow1990
@ kk - yes it has a 2mp cam with 30fps video recording
pow
Posted by BobaFett
imo the n70 pix are better then the ones of k750i, especially at landscapes
Posted by pow1990
i think they are two i dont really see any of that grainy stuff in the k750
also considering as i own both and compared the pics it wins overall
but its a lil big for me ^^ if only this had wifi i wud be one happy man

I based my cam-test: indoors (the BEST way to get the FULL function/feature of the fone's camera as the comparison will just be FAIR when images taken OUTDOORS) . . .
Here's a sample pic of an indoor shot with my N70 then (poor quality for a 2 MP camfone):
Here's a scanned image of my N70 . . . then:
Posted by ScottMcG

hmm been having a little play and should i be concerned that on the first charge it said 'battery full' after about 45mins ? i thought it would be longer?
Posted by 10ten
Just ordered mine its coming tomorow :-) hope im not disapointed
Posted by ScottMcG
@10ten
you will not be dissapointed! i love mine. its nice! hmm so many features aswell, way more than i'm used to, and i've still not looked at everything....
only downside sofar if the metal area on the front does get marked easily...but its fine
oh and the keys,so small, but i'll get used to them soon! i still love it hmm
Posted by BobaFett
@scott the charging takes ca 1.5 h in average, when the batt is almost empty
Posted by ScottMcG
really? nice..i thought it would be longer
woop
another thinkg, does anyone else think the headphones that come with are just strange?
Posted by pow1990
yer leave it for a while JN u gota have a steady hand for gd pics;)
plus where u from the phillipines?
pow
Posted by 10ten
Hope your right mate by the way do you know where i can get themes from for it.
Posted by BobaFett
@jn probably your hands was shaking at that pic... it makes really great pix normally
Posted by ScottMcG
here's the first pic i took...its such a crappy day today..
Posted by pow1990
see tahts a gd pic in a k750 it would come out more grainy
u cud make that picture better still by choosing the right scenery
ie its cloudy so u would pick cloudy.never choose auto it doesnt do anything
regards pow
Posted by ScottMcG
have i just found a small bug? or am i just being silly....
it wont let me change the lock code on the N70
i put in the old one.....then the new one....then try to verify the new one...but it allways comes up with 'code error'
hmmm
Posted by ScottMcG
took a pic..which its rather nice
well, i think it is anyway....
Posted by pow1990
not sure bout the lock code never tried it out!
nice pic m8ey will post some of my own later own
regards

I was thinking about getting one of these but I much prefer to wait for the k800i. Whats the keypad like to use daily because when I used my mates, I kept pressing all sorts of buttons at the same time its that tiny.
Posted by ScottMcG
for the first day i used it...it was like urg!!!!!!
heh
but after that, once your used to it, its really nicei thing, nice and compact, but not really crammed in like some other phone...
i really like how they have the menu,media,delete, and that other key, which i never use are placed!
Posted by pow1990
yep u can also change what u want instead if u want in the tools icon
pow
Posted by ScottMcG
i've noticed that when your on the general profile, the date is shown us at the top, next to the time and network coverage...
but when i change to a differn't profile, the date disapears and it replaced with the profile name...
hmm
also! anyone know where i could download new themes for the N70?
or any downloadable programs to make some?
i'm a tad bored of the ones it comes with...

Posted by ScottMcG

i think i'll have to be getting a larger memory card...i've only got 10MB left on this...that just wont do for going to gig!
it has been a bit annoying when in the image gallery, wait for the images to appear....hmm but its not a huge deal i supose.

and @ boba - Shaky hands you mean
I always use a TRIPOD when I take images . . . But I will let this thread 'roll' for a while as I am very certain that someone will agree with me that images taken indoors with this gadget is NO good . . . .
Posted by mario2002
What? You use a tripod when taking pictures with the N70?!? I don't buy that - sorry :-( Perhaps you should try without the tripod :D. Hey buddies listen to this - yesterday, while on patrol at my work (police helicopter) I took a video clip with my N70. Good quality for a cell phone as expected but while playing it later to my buddies I've realized that one can hear the voice clearly ! That surely is a first because not even a expensive video camera can suppress the 80+ db of noise ! None but the N70 manage to record intelligible voice while flying - never mind taking off (close ground proximity and therefore extra noise. In a few hours will be dark and our unit will do some night flying. Let's see what the video will be like. Greetings from my N70 :)

Posted by BobaFett
@10ten it depends on your operator. if o2 offer umts system, then u dont need other sim card.
