Nokia N70 review: Universal fighter

26 October 2005 | Read the review | Post your comment
Nokia N70 review: Universal fighter - read the full textNokia N70 is a smart mobile phone. It is so smart, that it has basically everything. It supports 3G, has a 2 megapixel camera, three times more memory space than its forerunners, a radio, a MP3 player, memory card slot… But don’t worry, we will also point out many Nokia N70 cons in this extended review.

 

Both my daughter and I purchased the N70 when it first came onto the market here in Australia. I have had a couple of problems that required rectification by a nokia service centre however now that the warranty has expired there seems to be a few more faults surfacing. The worst for me is that the phone will not vibrate any more, a feature desired when the phone is set for silent. I have downloaded the patch from the nokia website and that didn't work.

Does anybody have a means to rectify this fault without taking the phone to a service centre and taking the chance of losing all the phones memory?

That was a very good review. But i couldnt understand some terminologies in the review. What is meant by Macro mode?? Can u be a lil more specific about the Motives?? Where can i find that in my mobile.
Moreover when the MP3 files are interupted(by a phone call or SMS) it jus stops abruptly. Is there any kind of PATCH to solve this problem???

I also found the red hangup button really annoying: when playing hard platform games I often used to press it accidentally and lose my progress.
However I have solved this problem with NoRedClose (that can be found on Handango) which will disable that functionality but will still allow you to hang up phone calls normally.

I've had my N70 for approx 8 months now. It has been in for service once - it wouldn't work unless I had the headset attached. This problem has happened again on many occasions, and then just rights it's self. Apart for that it has other intermitten problems such as the keys wont work one day and will the next, the toggle button wont work one day and will the next. The ringtone when it rings, winds down and sounds really sick and the face plate fell off. Each day is a wonder as to what next will happen. Not happy!

Good review, but it's target is previous (or actual) owners of Symbian phones. I think that only people that once own (loved) a Symbian phone will truly understand the review.

For a normal user who is trying to move from a normal phone to a smartphone this review will be a little bit scary (to many references to the slowness of the phone for example). But on the other hand it is not your job to do their Symbian/Smartphone training ;)

For me this review is very useful, sience I owned since now 6600, 6680, 9120i and 8110 from Nokia series.

kr,
Vlad
