what about the slider? is it still has that "klick" at open and close. now i have a brand new balck cover in 6680, do enjoy that "noise", not the feature itself, i usually open and close it accidently.

well it does have a slight click, but problem is, when you speak, if you press on the back it squeaks.

in the use the slide is black and body is silver.
other color is the ivory, which is like a cream white and bergundy.

Very nice review -- i have had my eye on the N70 for a while now, but this review really helped me decide!
Just one question: I was just reading about the N70 on Nokia.com and noticed that it doesnt say that it has video calling/sharing, like the 6680.... (though, it doesn't say that it doesn't have it....)
Is anybody able to answer my question; Is the N70 a 3G phone with video calling/sharing like the Nokia 6680?
You can contact me by either PM'ing me or @ Patrick.Nilson@gmail.com or paddY-13@hotmail.com... I really wanna know!
I have been having trouble deciding on which one to buy, the N70 or the 6680....Suggestions?

it's a 3g phone, video calling, video sharing and much better build quality in my opinion that a 6880, although I liked the pad on the 6880 more because it was smoother.
(i hated the tacking painted chrome though)

Wow! I guess I did not make a mistake getting this phone which will be delivered a week from now 
This review even convinced me more that the phone is indeed aesthetically wonderful and worth it's price. I was really holding on to buying a new phone because I'm really looking forward to getting the N80. But what the heck, I could have this and the N80!  Thanks Amnesia, for a detailed review! |

my pleasure.
However dont forget there are a few kinks with the firmware, just make sure you have the latest.

last week i had finally the chance to test n70. well, next to the 0.7 mp differences at the cam compared to 6680, i didnt find any advantage between the 2 fones. its weird, that at the cardslot that plastic piece is on a rubber holder when i open it. have to admit, that i made very serous thoughts to go for it, but now the magic has gone, i keep rather 6680 and wait for n80. @threex was right, when he told me, that the keypad is so small. i dont have big fingers, bur that n70 keypad is very uncomforteable. at least nokia should have let some "space" between the buttons.

I have ordered the N70 and it should be arriving in the morning and really looking forward to getting it (although i wanted a moto V3X but it will only be released unbranded next year and couldn't wait). I was wondering if anyone knew of a PTT or Poc (might both be the same thing) client that would work both on a series 60 (N70) and a UIQ (p900) phone?
Thanx |
