I have just switched from Nokia 6020 to Nokia N70.
Formally known as Nokia N70-1 which is non-Music Version.
Dont know why people are interested in Music fones as Nokia is not that good with Music fones.
The search begins around Nagpur for the non-music version and the disappointment begins as this version was out of production by the Company for almost 18 Months.
What next ?
I remembered Mangya and me going to A.K.Gandhi [ Yastwant Stadium ] for my first fone i.e. Nokia 3310.
Atlast they had a couple of fone in stock and I was amazed to see that the model make was of Year 2006 and the actual price of the fone was 23000/- while i have now purchased for 9800/-
Why N70 ?
I don’t know how many fones around this price range have 3G support with video calling and 3G will do wonders to the way we work with our mobiles fones now a days. I dont like Edge or GPS which is quite slow and the cost compared to usage is pretty high on post and prepaid versions.
Here’s a small reviews about the features on the phone
Style and Looks :
It looks stylish with decent TFT Screen with good resolution in sun light too.
Key pad is a bit small compared to my earlier fones which were a lot more spacious.
I have drooped it a couple a times but it survived as traditionally Nokia Phones [ I have droped many fones of my friends which you normally tend to do not intentionally ].
Camera [ 2MP and VGA ] :
The image shooting in sunlight and at nights was good compared to some other fones.
Video shooting is Normal, i was expecting a little bit more but disappointing it doesnt stand to its expectations.
I haven’t used the VGA Camera in the front as the quality of the image was poor as expected as this was meant for Video Calling.
Software / Apps :
You get a lot of applications which are quite easy to use and this one is a added advantage for Symbian Phones.
Don’t overload your fone with useless Applications just like this one.
There’s a application for Torch which keep on the flash continiously, but the sadest part is if you use it for too long then you might end up damaging the flash.
There are n number of sites which provide sis apps but download them with your own risk as these may or may not support your fone.
Media Player
The internal media player is okay for normal music lovers who didn’t need equalizers etc..
Connectivity :
The USB connectivity with PC Suite is pretty good compared to earlier versions and the updates get updated quite nicely with out any problem.
Blue-tooth is okay as it takes a bit more time in searching Non Nokia fone compared to Nokia series.
Features :
Quick office which has Excel, Word and PowerPoint works pretty okay as i have installed a pro version.
Adobe Reader is okey but its a hell of a task to read pdf files with zooming out and in.
Conclusion :
As these are most common features which you expect from any Nokia NSeries Phones, but the real fun begins when India Mobile phone Companies start providing 3G services in December 08.
Atlast Its not about features but about looks and the final conclusion is this one looks different from the rest of the pack.
