*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia N70

It'd be neat if they had that button do more than just a second shutter button, like maybe a voice key that also quickly switched to loudspeaker like the 6630 had.
 
My initial observations so far on the N70.

1. It's probably the best 3rd party supported Symbian phone after 6600 and 6630.
2. Battery life is short, like most all Symbian phones.
3. The camera is really brilliant at natural lighting but is bad at incandescent lighting. Heck, even 6600's night mode is more competitive.
4. The processor is really good. N70 probably runs some ngage games faster than ngage itself. Asphalt 1 runs sooooo smooth.
5. The latest firmware is the bomb.
6. It's probably not that much recommendable to upgrade MMC to 1gig. There would be a visible slowdown at that level.
7. It's definitely the best looking phone of the N-series.
 
Hey guys, I'm looking for a software that will cut mp3's so that i can use them as ringtones for the n70. Got any recommendations?
 
1. It's the best 3rd party supported series 60 phone after 6600 and 6630.
2. It actually looks elegant unlike some of the experimental ("fugly") series 60 phones, which are a lot, BTW.
3. It has the best support for Ngage games in the N series
 
I'm not sure if it's officially released yet here. New symbian phones here follow the standard international pircing, which starts at around $500-$600, only to drop months later.

Use media monkey to convert any cd track (or audio file) to wave.
Use waveflow to edit the wave file
Use media monkey again to convert that wave to mp3.
 
I found something interesting on the web.

I too noticed that the phone slowed down with a 1 gig minisd, which is why i had to downgrade to the 512. However, I find that the 512 is more than enough for my needs as I don't watch films on my phone like some people do. I just need it for the pictures, mp3's, and video taking.
Furthermore, I think the N70 is one of the best phones out there, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world....well except for a Ferrari Enzo
 
The $520? .........Look, I am sure the N70 is a great device, and I am by no means trying to put it down but lets be honest, it is yesterday news. I refuse to spend $400 for phone that came out like a year ago. Time to bring that price down!
 
By the way, I just found out how really good N70's white balance features are:

Automatic


White balance activated (cloudy)

As far as I'm concerned, I'd still pay $500 for the N70 like I originally did if I had to again. And here's why:



I mean, what else do you want the N70 to do for that $400 that it doesn't? It's not that it has similar features as a lot of other phones, it's that the N70 can handle all of those functions and perform its operations efficiently. It's like having support for the 6620 when the 6670 came out. The 6670 may've been newer with a better camera, but the 6620 still did things better than the 6670. Same thing with the N73.
 
smartmovie isn't free though. i don't really watch clips/movies on my phone that much, i just do it time to time but not always. i'll stick with super for now
 
The E61 is ALREADY $330. is the N70 better? is a 2MP cam on a phone worth that much more? Shouldn't I expect a bigger, more comfortable keyboard on a year old $400 phone? Sorry but I think I'll keep on waiting and maybe get the N73 at that price a month from now.
