Alternate title: Fix that ^&#$%#@$ keypad!
I was toying around with the Nokia N70 because of the recent launch of 3G here in the Philippines. Truth be told we’ve had 3G enabled phones since the better part of last year, overtaking the telco services themselves. But this was the first time I really decided to give some attention to the phone.
In essence the N70 is an improved version of the Nokia 6680. Better camera at 2.0MP, Bluetooth 2.0 support (wow!), and more multimedia playback features are but some of the improvements of this phone.
The N70 has dual cameras for video conferencing and quality artistic imaging. Its main 2MP camera is capable of up to 20x digital zoom. The front camera is still at 0.3MP (640×480) and is used for video conferencing.
But what I’m really starting to hate is the doggone keypad that assumes we all have slender elven fingers. Gosh, I’m Asian and I’m already having a hard time with the small keys.
The N70 also has a very rickety back cover that acts as a lens protector for the 2MP camera. This makes it a pocket hazard at times because the protector doesn’t really serve its purpose. it’s so easy to snap the plastic back and forth even though it has a sliding mechanism.
Pros
- Good quality 2MP camera when transferred to the computer
- Bluetooth 2 supportCons
- Rickety sliding mechanism
- Very tight keypad
Its about time that Nokia started making mobile phones with a bit more style, don’t get me wrong their phones have always been first class and have always been easy to use but I just got bored with how they look, that is why I changed over to Samsung I had the T100 it looked sexy but I had a lot of trouble with it but now I have the D600 and I must say that I don’t even think about Nokia anymore I have been seduced by the style and the features on this phone
How much is nokia N70 and nokia N95 here in the philippines ??
