 Nokia N70 is announced in 2005
Design
Nokia's N70 - one of few models from Nokia featuring a more traditional candy bar design, the Nokia N70 is heavy and little big handset at 53 x 108 x 21 mm and 126 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 176 x 208 pixel ideal for small and smart phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker, while on the other side we find a dedicated camera button.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all Nokia handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The N70 is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.While the big display a numerical keypad placed on a small space offers appropriately-spaced keys and are not pleasantly comfortable in use.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Nokia handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, giving it a cheap feel while oddly designed buttons, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.Its keypad is as pleasing in use as its chassis is on the eyes: tactile feedback is excellent and all buttons are placed in a logical manner - quite a feat, considering N70's knack for quirky keypads.And last,but not least, a five-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
In the WAN department, the N70 boasts healthy support for Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as GPRS, EDGE, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Java MIDP 2.0, 64-channels polyphony, voice commands, a voice recorder, Loud Speaker, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of bluetooth high speed small range wireless device.GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the N70 is also equipped with a 1.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking and audio/video recording, as well as an integrated MP3 player.The latter of which is also the reason for why the 35 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits. MP3 and MPEG4 are both formats which can be stored for playback on the Nokia N70.
Unfortunately, neither Memory Stick Duo format or any other method of memory expansion is supported by the N70, meaning users find themselves drawn by the MP3 playback capabilities will also quickly - and repeatedly - drawn to their PC and USB cable for updating ones playlist.
Performance
Audio quality on the N70 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 900 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 3 30 hours talk time or 250 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 135 minutes.
Availability
The Nokia N70 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Nokia N70 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Nokia design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
