General Comments

The size of the Nokia E70 is a bit bigger than the 6230. However, you wouldn't want this device any smaller as its screen size would suffer. The screen is an excellent size of web browsing, and you can zoom in on pages if the font is too small for you. The screen resolution is amazing, and the black light dims or brightens according too the light, which can also save battery life. There is also a screen protector already on the device

The numeric pad is as easy to use as any other Nokia. The joystick is nice and solid too. When you flip the wing out to reveal the qwerty thumboard, it feels solid and sturdy and has a satisfying click when the wing is fully back. Typing on it is easy to use, it could be a bit tricky for anyone who hasn't had a device with a qwerty before, or isn't used to hand held consoles. But its easy to get used to and you can get quite quick and think they did you ever bother with predictive text in the first place! Also, while you flip the wing out the screen goes from portrait to landscape mode. There is a slight delay, but back the time you flick the wing out it is realigned, so isn't really bothersome.

The wifi is constantly search for open or closed connects, however this does not affect that battery life much when its in this sort of stand by mode. the E70 picks up and hold a wifi connection brilliantly (unlike my TyTN!). The web browser is really good, I like the way it shows little images of previous pages when you press the "back" key.

The speed of navigating, opening and saving files/applicants is very good. Doesn't lag at all. Nokia version of Office is very good too, not only can you view things but you can edit them too, very useful for writing documents on the go.

And of colour, being a Nokia, its easy to use and does all the usual thing a non-smart phone does, plays mp3s, takes pictures, etc. The 2MP camera takes good quality pictures. And these are very easy to copy to your PC (pictures, music and documents are) you don't even have to install the Nokia suite to file transfer. Just plug and play, using the cable provided.

I call and text a lot, and use the wifi to browse the net. And on average use the phone lasts about 5 or 6 days! Better than the 1- 3days my TyTN did!

I think I've just about covered most things. Its a good looking pocket-able smartphone, i'm very pleased with it!

    Haddock's positive review of the E70 has helped influence me to order one, I will add my own review in due course.
