DISQUS

Pip · 3 years ago

I don't know if you can test the phone to see whether it can listen to the sounds streaming from my favorite radio station: radiolibra.com
Thanks for your time and dedication.
Pip (one last question, the video looked pretty fuzzy, and I wondered what the full size of the video is (640x480 or 720x 480 and what the fps rate is). Thanks!

Good phone but SLOW UI, especially when viewing media content. Heavy for what it offers and subpar screen compared to Sharp, Panasonic, Samsung, and even it's brother the Nokia N90.

mike · 3 years ago

for part 2, can you cover the pim apps? i want to know about the to-do list, calendar and the notes apps.

-can to-do items be categorized? calendar items?
-is i possible to schedule alarms outside of the calendar?
-does calendar support recurring alarms?
-can notes be attached to to-do items? calendar items?


basically, i'm looking to dump my pile-of-crap treo 650 w/o missing out on too much of the pim functionality.

thanx!

Andrew · 3 years ago

My only gripe with this phone is that it doesn't have the 850 band, unless Nokia is releasing a US version that I'm not aware of.

I bought an N70 in Australia and the phone is great. Does everything I want....
Apart from the contant resets dropping in and out of 3G zones and losing all the settings.

Can you please really push the phone?s capability to multitask? My goal would be to try and get the phone to either: a) crash, b) reboot, c) close some (or all) of the programs you have running in the background.

The multitasking test could be achieved by running the (or several) web browser(s) while running an S60 IM program, all the PIM applications, and taking pictures while running all those programs. I?m very interested in knowing how the N70 would handle such stressful usage.

Thanks!

to mike: I bought my N70 two weeks back, and have been using it rigorously. It's definitely the best phone that I've ever had, so I'll try to answer your questions:

"-can to-do items be categorized? calendar items?"

To-do items can be prioritized by three priorities, but they won't cause any alarms even if you miss the deadlines. Calendar items are the same as in any S60-phone. You have "meetings", "notes" and "anniversaries" (I don't know what they're called in English, since I'm using it in Finnish). "Notes" are assigned on a date, not a specific time. "Meetings" can have their time window set, and may also cause alarms(on times other than the beginning too).

"-is i possible to schedule alarms outside of the calendar?"

Other than the alarm clock, no.

"-does calendar support recurring alarms?"

Yes. Daily, weekly, every 2 weeks, monthly and yearly.

"-can notes be attached to to-do items? calendar items?"

No.

...and here's to Jimi:
"The multitasking test could be achieved by running the (or several) web browser(s) while running an S60 IM program, all the PIM applications, and taking pictures while running all those programs. I?m very interested in knowing how the N70 would handle such stressful usage."

The N70 definitely seems faster than my previous N-Gage and the 6630 I had for testing one month last summer. I'm doing right now a small stress test. I have currently following programs running:

- Program manager(where you unistall programs)
- Card Deck (a solitaire MIDlet)
- Tasks
- Camera (the screen refreshes as fast as ever!)
- Calendar
- Messages
- Snowboard 3D (a 3D midlet game)
- Web browser
- Address Book

And the phone just keeps on running! All the menus function just as if had no programs in the background. I have read from some forums people claiming that the N70 would shut off programs automatically when running out of memory, but I have yet to witness that. It might be due to the fact that the red (call disconnect button) apparently closes the program instead of tasking out as in the older S60-versions. This really threw me off initially, but once you get used to it, it doesn't really bother.

Great phone in all ways, so - I love it!

Ps. too bad that I had to hack Apple's iSync to import my contacts, but that's not really Nokia's fault, is it? ;)

mike · 3 years ago

Sunky, cool, thanks much for the info. looks like i'll wait for the s60 v9.x, hopefully the pim apps are better. i'm especially looking forward to the nokia e70 and if not that then the se p990.

Gary · 3 years ago

I'm looking for a new phone... does the N70 work in the USA ? also which service provider would be able to support it ?

mike · 3 years ago

Gary, the n70 supports 900/1800/1900 gsm. tmobile uses the 1900 frequency, cingular/attws uses 850, but they do have coverage in the 1900 range as well. this phone will not work with cdma providers, verizon, sprint, etc.

Raz · 3 years ago

Wondering, does this phone (or any other) let you record your conversations and save the audio files on the phone's built-in (or external) memory?

TIA

Phone Reviews · 3 years ago

This phone looks awesome your article was very useful to read, i know alot about the N series anyway but just wish to say you have a great post.

Stephen · 3 years ago

I have had the N70 for a few weeks and i feel it runs really slowly like im trying to run a high end game on an under equipped computer, takes agaes to load up menus and read messages etc is this a fault with my phone or all N70s, also i have found that my phone does tend to reboot itself when i hit the talk now button?

Goonie · 3 years ago

To Stephen
I returned my phone to the shop and they decided it was a faulty handset and are replacing it eventually. Might be worth trying the same.

djejnyc · 3 years ago

Yeah, I want to know about about the PIM functions, too. Can I buy this instead of a Treo?

dave · 3 years ago

Just got the Nokia N70 myself, have to say I really like the camera(s), very impressive, the games are a nice touch too!

nasact · 3 years ago

Hi

I am planning to buy nokia n70 but i am concerned about few problems. It would be nice if someone can address to them - one by one. Thanks for your time. I appreciate.

a. default ringtome problem - no matter what ring tome u assign, still it plays default. Downloading the patch. Is it sure that it will solve the problem.


b. the keypad gets unlocked, if the camera slider slides open while in pocket. Is there any way to keep it locked even if slider opens up by mistake.


c. People say, its slow ? is it fater than 6600 or slower.


d. People say, its keyboad is very small and keys uncomfortably small. R they so small or is it just a mtter of time as we get used to them. Is this a big issue.


e. Camera quality is ok but close up pics and taking pics of TEXT is horrible coz this has no auto zoom and what is this macro mode. I know sony 750i camera is better but still r these issues about n70 cam big or just minor ones.


f. Should i go ahead and take n70 or wait for any new model. Just to mention, i dont like sliders, so i wont take n80 or n91 and i dont like clam shell so i wont take n71 n90. Is there any new better model expected which is simple in looks like n70, in near future.



Thanks for your time. I appreciate.
thanks

Hi,

My research to find my next phone continues. I am putting my doubts point wise so that u can address to them one by one.

A. In india, there r lots of nokia care centres but the general impression is that sony ericsson doesnt have post sale care and services, as good as nokia in India. If this is real then i will stick to nokia (nokia n70).

B. If i buy sony ericsson phone, I can go for the latest and best, but I read sony phones, even w810i doesnt have 3G Features. Is this true.

C. What r 3G features. I want my phone technology to last for few yrs atleast, My phone shud not be traditional. Money is not consideration, I want best. Is it true that if we comapre nokia n70 and sony 750i or 810i, nokia n70 has 3G and cud be considered more advanced, leaving apart camera issue. Is 3G feature important.

D. Now about camera, its said sony erisccos 750i onwards, have better camera as compared to n70 in terms of close ups, text pics clarity and Macro mode. What is macro mode?

thanks

Please answer in as detail as possible.

My overall confusion is between nokia n70 and any sony phone. And as i said, money is not the consideration.

I am considering a small sized, powerfull mobile. I mean, I dont like the sixe of sony ericsson p910 which dont fit in pocket.

E. Is it not possible to have some software to lock the keypad of nokia n70. In a number of websites people havementioned that their n70 keypad got active coz camera cover slid when phone was in pocket (i can give u weblink if u dont believe me). Somehwere i read, there is some software which cud solve this problem and everytime u want to activate the phone, u need to enter some password and probably this keypad lock is strong enough to ignore camera cover movement, while phone is in pocket.

thanks

How is the audio quality while listening to Mp3s in Nokia N70? IS it as good as sonyericsson's walkman series? Is the bass good?

Roaming · 3 years ago

Do you know how i can get my "notes" written in the phone using Nokia Browser? I think they are .txt, supported by PCs so I want to get them in mine.

Ameet · 3 years ago

I have a N70....and even after downloading the ringtone patch from nokia website,the default ringing tone problem is still there...I am frustrated.

Jake · 3 years ago

Nokia N70 is shit. Impossible to load/upload stuff in one go unlike my older 6230i which is wonderfully easy to use. This is definately a downgrade not an upgrade. Crap - I want to get my money back.

Anisha Roberts · 3 years ago

Turn ur N70 into a powerful torch! Use "Flashlight" to turn ON the LED flash.
For more information visit http://my-symbian.com/s60/software/applications...

Tom Grabber · 3 years ago

Enhance your N70's video capture capabilities at low light condition with N70Torch. It's the first yet the best application allowing the camera flash to be used for illumination and video captures.

Brian · 2 years ago

Have had my N70 for over a year and love it to bits, but has anyone found a way to get rid of the ringtone that plays whenever you first switch it on (other than putting phone into silent mode before switching it off, pressing a keypad button as the tone starts to play or never switching it off). Thanks

Nokia N70 is designed as a perfect handset for both fun and work. It has a very powerful 20x digital zoom, an integrated flash and a choice of modes including scenery, portrait, night and sports. Came across something interesting on Nokia N70 at
