Good points: A real 21st century elegant, stylish, compact & a complete messaging device with integrated camera. Good Reception, Acceptable Battery life.Long video clips( 90 sec.). EDGE, very fast data transfer rates.
Bad Points 1. Picture quality, display is passive matrix. 2. Not having Memory Card slots (limited memory). 3. Not supporting wav, true music ring tones. 4.Takes time to scan every pixel.
Quick Review: I have used many mobile phones in the past Panasonic GD92, Sony CMD J70(the best!), Panasonic GD68, Nokia 3100 and many others.
I recommend Sony CMDJ70 in non-color display. Now I am using Nokia 6820, a great handy phone, morever, I would say, a complete messaging communication device. Seems like nokia tried to induct everything in the phone to keep it at par with the times. But I am suprised that why they hadn’t work to enhance the display features which are just as same as they were used to be in a year old color screen phones i.e.passive matrix screen.
As compared to the other Nokia phones in the same segment, It doesn’t support .wav and true song format and there are no MMC slots. Hence reducing its storage capacity, (internal memory only upto 3.5 MB). When you load the phone with so many features, where the user will save his work. Nokia should have thought about it.
Anyway, except the above ones, phone is great and very handy for executive level cos its realy stylish compact design and useful as it offers everything to keep you updated with your office work and you can type in very quickly using real keyboard.:) Well its having bluetooth, IR to communicate effectively. Great Games! Reception is good. I have used the phone for 5&1/2 hours at a strech(talktime) and still two sticks were left.
So good battery life as compared to other phones in this segment.In multimedia section, the video clip length is something to cheer about, 90 sec. clip, leave behind many other competitor phones till today though picture quality is not so great. So my conclusion is that ’’it is a perfect phone for the people who are seriously looking for a stylish, compact and effective communication device rather than a multimedia player. Though it (Camera, gallery) also satisfies your outdoor instincts for fun keeps you at par with the latest trend. The picture quality is not so great, but we are talking here on phones i.e., effective high speed communication not the multimedia players. RIGHT!:)’’
