This phone has been a pretty decent phone. For debuting in '06, it sure has a nice set of features (mainly wifi). The keypad is superb with fantastic tactile feedback. I actually use my E70 instead of my E61i every now and then, because it just feels more suitable for texting (plus the keypad light button sure helps). What surprises me most is the video capabilities of this phone. I'm able to record loud heavy metal concerts and it is just incapable of distorting. The audio sounds phenomenal for a phone (an E series, nonetheless). I've had this phone for over a year, and I too have experienced the joystick going sour. I realized it's, more likely than not, just trapped dirt. If my joystick doesn't respond, I take a toothpick and slightly pull out this inner rubber ring that lies within the stick and just blow it out. Seems to work just fine. I suggest everyone doing that before paying for repairs.

Load of crap. Anything with s60 software has too many menus, is vague in it's presentation and requires too many button pushes to complete even the most basic of tasks.

I once owned a Psion S5 it was a great machine, thought the E70 would improve on that. I was sdly disappointed.

E60 software is written to make the life of the programmers easy. The obviously don't care about the user, just the features they can cram in.

This joystick issue is a software problem. Just restart the phone everytime it happens..

After using LG and Nokia Handsets for over 5 years, I have gone in for Nokia N 70 recently. More I was attracted with its features camera,mp3 player, mini sd card 1 GB and the quality of siund in the music. I am =verybhappy with the price tag as well. feel that new versions come with additional features and thinner with less weight. Over all I give 8 out of 10 marks

its my 4th celly after 6800,6810 and 6820. i used 3 cousins before, but sure this "youngest qwerty symbian" is the best, of course not only in its ancestry, its the best phone i ever tested. im not a prof like gsmarena staff but all i want to say, you can never TASTE this experience with any phone(even will any e-series). i wish it wont broke and i can use it forever. thanks finns.

Is Nokia going to ever come back with this flip keyboard? My phone fell into water and fried. So I bought an iphone - cool device unless you actually want a phone - then forget it - no reception.......I know it isn't AT&T - I've been with them for 15 years no problems on a Nokia ever. Aghhh.

I have been telling all since last one year that Nokia has no interest to support this device and hence they dont repair this device. From this its better not to buy this model anymore. (Joystick is biggest problem for all users after 1 year usage).

i`ve been using this phone for a year now. i`m having problems with the joy stick it can only move upwards. As for the tones sometimes it just vibates and doesn`t produce sound.but the camera is good it produces original photos...
