I was a proud customer of nokia until I got my Nokia N-70.
I got this as my b’day gift from my uncle who is a top manager in one of the to distributers of nokia and Sony products in middle-east.
here are some things he told me at first.
Nokia N-70 has two versions mine is N70-1 which is the latest (I don’t know what is the former)
Still now they don’t have a reliable software though they have improved in their software.
He also bought brand new Sony Ericson W810i (w800 is no more) costs Rs. 15, 386/- while N-70 Rs.19, xxx/- (this is when I bought) SE comes with all the bundles including 512MB memory and 2.0 m pixel cam, while I got 128MB and 2.0 m pixel cam.
From my experience:
(This is not a product comparison)
Positives.
- This phone gets wide support from service provider (especially when you avail EDGE and MMS).
nice battery life.
Self portrait cam.
You can download almost all the available softwares easily. it will work smoothly.
You could save you phone from being hung in case (press and hold ’menu’ button then press ’c’) without restart.
You could use the phone even when you connect it to pc.
Play games or so while making a call.
Negatives
Nokia have poor multi application execution. the phone will hang for a while if a call arises while you play some games.
Most of the download able games are not supported.
This phone is absolutely professional. No games and music support (I mean the quality is so poor compared to its competitors).
In terms of price you pay more than you get.
The self portrait cam has such a poor image quality.
I lost my preinstalled Quik word and other packages after I tried to upgrade the firmware from nokia website inspite it didnt do that.
When I got my phone the dealer set the date/time wrongly ie to 20/Aug/2008 which made my antivirus software expire I can’t revert it anyhow.
In short: if you are a college guy and want to enjoy the music to your taste and snap some beauties go for something else. oh no, you are a professional on the move grab it. now this is available for 15, 000/-
