General Comments

The Nokia N70 is a high quality mobile phone for Nokia fans, especially those who are interested in Symbian-based smart phones. First of all, I've been satisfied with the 2 mega-pixel camera, which can be used as a digital camera on special occasions (whenever you don't have access to your digital camera). It has a faster processor compared to previous models, except the 6680, which is so similar to this model (the camera is the most important difference). It has a flash which works great, but only indoors!

Symbian phones have so many capabilities by installing additional software, but not all people know much about it. I recommend this phone to people who really know how to use it. All Symbian-based phones (and this phone in particular) are a bit heavy and large. The keypad is not comfortable, and it's slower than non-Symbian phones, so only people interested in Symbian can take advantage of it, meaning that ordinary people will be disappointed.

One weird problem I faced was that the applications shut down if you press the "Red" key. I had trouble at first, but now I have got used to it. I still don't know how to keep some of my applications resident in the phone's memory, but that's not a severe problem.

Overall, it's a good phone for Symbian fans, but if you are a music fan and you want to use this phone as an MP3 player, you'd better go for a Nokia N91 which has an internal hard drive and key controls for playing music. It's also more elegant.
