Hi Sunil
I thought this review may interest you (and anyone else with Nokia N70)
Taken from mobile phone reviews.
The Nokia N70 is the first of the Nokia Nseries smartphones to be released
in the UK. The N70 is a 3G smartphone, similar to the popular and
successful 6680, but with upgraded features.
Physically the N70 is similar in appearance to the Nokia 6680, with a
conventional boxy shape and a functional (but small) keypad with a
five-way scroll key, two soft keys, an application key, and a multimedia
key. The N70 is slightly thicker than the 6680, but lighter.
The screen is a good size and the two cameras are well located. Overall,
it's a good, practical design for a smartphone, and the most traditional
looking of the Nseries phones. The surface does scratch however, so take
good care of it.
The N70 is a powerful imaging device with a high quality camera with
2 megapixels. This is the first Nokia phone to break the 2 megapixel
barrier.
The camera has a very powerful 20x digital zoom, an integrated flash and
a choice of modes including scenery, portrait, night and sports. It's
possible to control settings such as brightness, white balance settings and
colour tones. The camera, whilst good, isn't as good as the 2 megapixel
camera on the Sony Ericsson K750i
or W900i.
There's a dedicated camera button and a protective slide. Nokia
XpressPrint enables you to print photos directly to a PictBridge-compliant
printer. Video recording is also possible (but not at the 2 megapixel
resolution). A Movie Director application is supplied for editing videos.
The N70 has the full range of 3G capabilities, including video calling,
video downloads and video/music streaming. A second VGA resolution camera
is used for making video calls. Data transfer via 3G is very fast, opening
up the possibility of media streaming and music or video downloads. The
display on the N70 is very good with 262k colours and a bright active matrix
display. It's a great multimedia device.
The RealPlayer media player supports video playback in MPEG4 format, plus
audio in a choice of formats including MP3, AAC, Real Audio, WAV and Nokia
Ring Tones. The Visual Radio lets you listen to songs from radio stations,
with information about the song and artist. A stereo headset is supplied
as part of the sales package.
The internal memory of the device is 30 Mbytes, with the addition of
a 64 Mbyte MMC card which can be hot-swapped. Connectivity is via Bluetooth
or USB.
The N70 takes the 6680 and adds a few more features to make it one of
the highest spec 3G smartphones ever released. In so many ways it's an
outstanding phone, but there are several things that let it down.
First of all, the effect of adding in all these features has made the
user interface very slow. It's not an easy phone to use, takes a long time
to boot up, and does have a tendency to freeze or shut down.
The camera isn't as good as you'd expect from a 2 megapixel device and the
screen isn't as good as you'd expect from its specification. The keypad
isn't easy to use if you have large fingers and the overall build quality
of the N70 doesn't seem to be that great. In particular the sliding
camera cover always seems to be about to fall off. Don't assume
that the N70 is actually any better than the 6680 which it replaced.
Features of the Nokia N70 include:
2 megapixel camera (1600 x 1200 pixels) with 20x digital zoom and flash
