OPEN IN NEW WINDOW

It's been a while since I've actually bought a Nokia, I'm an SE man myself. But this phone is damn appealing. Compared to the others this is the most rounded off, and yes the N90 and N91 both have their advantages, however the N70 is the only one I could justify when it comes to size. Actually it's smaller than you'd think it is. And the design definately also helps to make it look slimmer than it really is. So, if you want an unbiased review, enjoy this one. Specs: 30 MB internal memory, Triband, UMTS, Supports RS-MMC memory cards, has two cameras, an VGA and a 2 Megapixel camera with LED Flash. Features: Radio (by region, 5 way keypad, additional Media Key, video recorder, mp3 player, realplayer, email support, WAP, Bluetooth, and PC Sync. Screen: 262kK screen (TFT) System: Symbian Series 60 (OS 8.1) Sound: One large speaker at the top. I apologize if the pictures are a bit blurry. What you get:



In the box you get the battery, a headset (which is awesomely white and is the SAME one as the one that came with the 7600), a Sync CD, Sync cable, charger, battery cover, plug adapter, memory card (64mb), hand strap, cleaning cloth and a huge set of manuals. The strap and cleaning cloth are always a nice addition. The CD includes various apps as you find with any series 60 phone. First thing I did was slam the memory card in (actually slowly placed and touched sexily) plug in the battery and powered it on. First thing you look at is the beautifully BRIGHT screen (brighter than any i've seen), and the intro. Below are a few pics of the phone.

I wished it was all made of metal sadly it's just a portion of the front.


The blue backlight is very very beautiful and it'll only switch on when it's dark via the light sensor.

You can see the memory card slot and there is a button which I've yet to determine what it does. It's not for the camera, although I might be doing something wrong. On top of it (although i've not taken a picture) is the speaker.
Many people have commented that it might be large, but trust me, I believe this size to be PERFECT for what it's for. It feels nice, the weight is perfect and it's appealing.

Sound Quality on the phone is great. The volume is VERY loud on max, and you can hear that for a phone the speaker is very crisp.

Video:
Now this came as a surprise. The quality this took was awesome, it appeared to be 30fps (please correct me if I'm wrong) it was VERY VERY VERY smooth. It's good enough for a phone thats for sure. Watching video full screen as well doesn't strain the eyes, and it doesn't have the 'specific angle of view' that other Nokias had.

Sliding the slider down reveals the camera with an LED flash. It slides down very easily however it feels too plasticky. Not like the rest of the phone. The slider is connected to the battery cover, so I'm assuming that you're safe to break it since you can just buy another one.

The menu icons are much improved. The speed of the apps is much faster oh and the best thing! Pressing hangup quits the apps. Phew, no more resource hogging apps.

The picture gallery is no longer with the circular rotation icons, it is displayed aroudn the screen and when you click right or left the smooth animation enlarges the next image. The downside is that it's a bit slow when loading up, however once its up and running it's alright.

[b]Organizer[/b]
Exactly as any series 60 system.
Calendar, tasks, notes, alarms, timer, stopwatch, record sound, calculator and code memo
As mentioned previously, there is also any easy SYNC feature.

[b]Phonebook[/b]
Again, not much change except you have more options when adding additional information.

[b]Settings[/b]
Also known as the Control Panel. Anything is accessable. From brightness of the screen to sound quality. I dont want to go into depth, since as I stated, it is just any of the latest Series 60 devices

Additional notes:
It uses a new sized charger pin. However it comes with an adapter as well if you have the older chargers.

[b]Pros[/b]
Looks nice.
Great sound.
Dual Cameras
Well built. (not the back though)

[b]Cons[/b]
Crap slider.
Fingerprint magnet (the metal bit)
Uses the new pin charger size
As with 6630 and 6680 unlocking can't be done except by the manufacturer.
Can be a bit slow (even though it's the fastest series 60 out there)

I like this phone, I really like it. It's weight really is well balanced and it basically is very fast for general use.
