General Comments

This is the worst phone I have EVER owned! The first N70 I got from Orange, I had to return it after a few months, as it turned itself off regularly during calls, texting or just while in my bag, for no reason, and decided to delete all of my saved text messages. The second one they sent as a replacement seemed to think it had the hands free kit on constantly, so when I got calls, I couldn't answer it without having to attach the hands free kit, and again it kept switching itself off. The third phone again keeps switching off randomly.

* It takes ages to turn on and off
* The shutter on the back for the camera is very easy to slide open, so if it's in your bag or pocket, it goes onto camera mode and wastes LOADS of battery
* Now it keeps coming up with a message saying "Telephone already in use" and not letting me do anything while the message is up
* Deleted all of my texts randomly
* When typing a text, if you accidentally press the green button above the '1' it sends the message before you've finished it
* Can only have ringtones uploaded from computer if saved on phone memory, NOT memory card, so like....1 song, so can only use either 1 of your own tones (can fit a fair few on the memory card, but the phone does not acknowledge they are there), or the rubbish Nokia ones.
* When trying to find out what is taking up the most memory, it just loads, and loads, and loads and never shows what MB is being taken up by what. I have a full memory apparently, but only 2 songs on the memory card!!

Be vary wary of getting this phone. I'm on an 18 month contract so I'm stuck with this piece of rubbish for another year, unless I pay an upgrade fee.

I loved Nokia before this, and U would never have considered using another brand, but now my confidence in them is shattered, and I am seriously considering paying the upgrade fee to get rid of the thing!
