Nokia E70

Anonymous

This phone was the pinnacle of human achievement. I loved it more than my family.

Slava Grek

This one was the most useful, functional and helpful phone i can remember. Brilliant display, wqerty, wi-fi and latest symbian with office - these were amazing in 2005. Loved it. But this model was one of the worst by plastic quality, it was just tearing apart and I could do nothing with this. After a year it started to lose keys on all the keyboards)) I lost a part of my E70 almost every day. Finally it was heavily super-glued)). After 18 months of usage a flexible ribbon on a keyboard had broke. No main control keys worked.

obaz

yes we all symbian OS users love old nokia phone. and we stil waiting for nokia to produse more symbian phones...

Sophana CHEA

I love all old Nokia model and Nokia company don't mind, please re-produce your old model again. All kind of E model and Stainless Steel Model. Note only me love it, but all the people around the world are waiting for your.....

CoolBro

Hoy, well its kind of tricky. Its not like you can access wifi just like that. You have to configure a new connection and define the Wifi as a network source in the tools menu. There you must define the name of the network and the password and so on. It can be hard at first, but once you get past those first tricky steps the bits and pieces will fall together. :)

It's hard to repair if the joystick is break! (was repair twice). Battery are good. Best for SMS use with extra-extended-keyboard. Cons: is too thick.

Mini-SIM? The CPU is 220 MHz Dual ARM 9 It's dual ARM CPU?

jassi rayat

gud luking....is it available in india?????i want to buy this phone....plz reply

++ big screen + keyboard + pretty sturdy (multiple falls, no problems) - slower than other phones with same cpu --- joystick breaks very easily and cannot be easily replaced (if it wasn't for this, I would still get one)

LeganzaMoonwalkerE70

I Had This Phone . One Word - Awsome . Im Just SOOO Sad That This Is The Last Phone Of This Kind . Incredible PPI , Witch Is Almost The Same As Iphone . The QWERTY Is So Easy To Use ! Troubles : - Symbian - Lil Bit Fat - Not So Long Battery Life

arabianights

my e70's keypad sometimes became unresponsive, only the left/right selective keys work, also the keyboard light worked Sporadically, most of time the light remains off please any advice what's wrong

For basic/semi-basic editing of word docs this phone is pretty good. you can also edit spreadsheets and presentations, not to mention link to a bluetooth projector. Today I wrote a blog post, listened to music, watched films, had push email going every 15 minutes and still two bars battery. I have used mail for exchange (freeware) to sync my gmail account which it does without a hitch. Its true the phone does lack some functions more modern phones have, but the keyboard is second to none - and the phone is secure and doesnt tell Cupertino or googleville every thing about you on demand. Oh, and show me an android or ios phone that can run opera mini, IM, file manager, contacts, realplayer all at the same time and still have space left over out of 10mb memory. Symbian is the most economical, optimised and stable phone OS going, why do you think Nokia are hedging their bets? If Nokia updated this phone, they'd have a winner. even after 6 years with this phone i have never used a better keyboard. ever.

I've found it on ebay for $120, worth it? Basically I'm searching for a phone that I can edit some .doc files with

hey dude how iz the condition of ur e70 i want to buy contact me my mobile number is +919985210955 and what is the price u r expecting

Jemma

Best phone I've had bar none - great keyboard, powerful processors for the time, and still capable of interfacing with gmail/contacts/calendar - not to mention the ability to get a 3 bar signal where android phones fear to tread. The only gripe is sound quality and the fact that video playback is a little too much for it. Oh and did i mention the 3 day battery life on a 5 year old original battery..? Definately a phone worth seeking out if you want a powerful smartphone on the cheap...

happyphone

I still have E70. That is just Great phone ! No point to change newer phone but if somebody ready to pay then will change to new model.

hy there do u know how much is nokia e70 now tnx 4 the one how will answer me "salamat"

Someone

I was lucky enough to get myself a one just from one and half year ago, however believe me, it is incredibly fast writing machine, but on the other sides it suffers from build quality of mainly the joystick. I am searching currently for a new one as well, if you knew announce ;)

alwazz7

please, this question is for who realy know. is it possible to have this kind of mobile. E70 and its similar mobile were the best between all the other model for many users around the world. so i will be thankful if anyone have an answer.

Still going strong after over 3 years. Although the new N900 has stolen my heart, so I guess it's time change up. Hardware has survived all that time intact, only the exterior has gotten the usual bumps and bruises from drops etc. And of course front buttons and joystick has some of it's coating worn out. Also the flip is still sturdy. I was worried about it when I got the phone, but seems my worries were unfounded. I do quite a bit of browsing on the phone using Opera (symbian) and Opera Mini (java). I have mostly left the original browser alone after getting Opera. As the device has only ~21-22Mb of memory free, it usually causes "Out of memory" errors on graphics heavy sites. Using Putty to connect to my Linux server (wlan / 3G works nice) and IRCing using the full keyboard is quite nice, although the buttons are small so sometimes mistypes are impossible to avoid. The camera is quite bad in low lighting, in bright / sunlight it's ok. All in all, it served me well all these >3 years.

best phone ever. best display. i have this phone 2.5 years and i,m still love it for his practical features and display too heavy. too big

yr u cn press menu button instead of "no" key just after sending message, its the only one best solution i know myself... :)

No hangups, all keys and functionality are very convenient and suitable to work. i can see my office emails through html, outlook. and i can use its additional features while on INTL. roaming. I have also installed putty (a S/W that works on windows and login onto linux servers) and its working excellent. BOTTOM LINE IS I AM VERY HAPPY. NO COMPLAINTS...

There are cretain softwares available in the market through which you can enlarge the font size.

Janus

I've had this for about 2 years now. It has one of the best QWERTY keypads ever made, very similar to that of a PC keyboard. After 2 years of use I can surely say it's one of the best business mobiles around, except for one or two very annoying glitches: the alfanumeric keypad is rather stiff (although the buttons are comfortably large); the screen can become very hard on the eyes, since it has a fairly high definition (352*416 pixels) and is quite small; the worst is actually the joystick, which has this problem with the Down press (sometimes when you press Down, it assumes Select/Ok, so it becomes quite irritating); it has fairly low RAM and a 207 Mhz CPU, so it can be really sluggish inspite of having a fairly simple OS when compared to Windows Mobile; I had two mailboxes set up and recently they just poofed away alonside my operator's configurations (I had to reconfigure manually :P ). The E71 seems like a good choice nowadays, though the QWERTY keypad doesn't seem to be as good as this smartphone's. One other thing, E70 handles media quite decently, but has no support for stereo bluetooth phones, the music level is low when compared to Nseries models like N73 and since it's very sluggish, videogames tend to suck (especially 3D games). All in all, it's foremost a great Communicator. Too bad about the damned joystick and sluggishness though.

One of the best phones ever

Stas

Read about the joystick problems that people are having - and can say for sure that my E70 has no joystick problems at all. I bought mine used in April, with 100 hours of talk time on it. Since then, (10 months later), I'm at 194 hours, and no mechanical problems whatsoever. After many drops, some of the paint chipped off the * and # keys. Screen practically perfect, with no screen protector. This phone is rock solid. Biggest problem is the lack of RAM - same as the early N95s. Very large webpages will refuse to load, which can be frustrating. Other than that, the phone is great, and the software selection is fantastic.

There is a website called nokiasoftware.net It is not nokia's website but that is a place where u get all the software for any variants of Nokia..From Gaming to email to Fonts to Enhancers.. Try there.. u could get a software for sure.

Any news if Nokia is making a new version of this wonderful machine? A month now, I parked my E70 and got the SE Xperia , and not happy so far.. It takes too much time for every function despite my advanced IT level...

There is a downloadable software, that speeds-up the sending of a SMS. It is called Nokia SMS Accelerator, google it and download it. Use it, an you will feel the diference...

minx

It shouldnt take that long to send smses, it may be a service provider issue rather than a handset issue. Have you contacted your provider?

minx

I just picked up a 20month old E70, I bought with the intention of seling again. This phone has won me over, it still ranks well against new phones. Feature wise it has everything needed and from a design point of view it is functional. The buttons are big enough not to tire your fingers in similar phones. The camera is clear in all lighting conditions. At the price you can pick this phone up for now it is a real winner....I think I might hold onto this one

In my opinion, Nokia E70 is the best handset in business class till date. Its full keypad makes life easy. Also, it can accomodate a memory card of upto 2GB. In case you are unable to find a carrying pouch for E70, try purchasing the E60 Belt pouch. Its never given me any problem till date. Its an extremely ruff &tuff H/S. My baby plays with it. Now you can imagine.

bubble

I've been using this baby for almost 2 years now. Yes the joystick would be a problem after an intensive 1 year use. But I managed to repair it in an authorized nokia service center nearby. It cost me only US$ 5. Tow days service. And now it feels like new again. I live in jakarta, surely you all would have easier acces to repair it.

Guitaroach

This phone has been a pretty decent phone. For debuting in '06, it sure has a nice set of features (mainly wifi). The keypad is superb with fantastic tactile feedback. I actually use my E70 instead of my E61i every now and then, because it just feels more suitable for texting (plus the keypad light button sure helps). What surprises me most is the video capabilities of this phone. I'm able to record loud heavy metal concerts and it is just incapable of distorting. The audio sounds phenomenal for a phone (an E series, nonetheless). I've had this phone for over a year, and I too have experienced the joystick going sour. I realized it's, more likely than not, just trapped dirt. If my joystick doesn't respond, I take a toothpick and slightly pull out this inner rubber ring that lies within the stick and just blow it out. Seems to work just fine. I suggest everyone doing that before paying for repairs.

desert storm

I have this nokia E70 for 2 years, its Arabic Version and Made in Finland, exactly after 2 years, it start annoy me with the stupid joystick, and sometimes I cant make a call until I restarted it

used the phone for approx 2 yrs. i was satisfied. joystick went erratic after a while and battery is gone too, but 2 yrs is ok to me. one of the best phones i had

ahmed

good but the battary performance is not enough also little bit heavy

Mark

Load of crap. Anything with s60 software has too many menus, is vague in it's presentation and requires too many button pushes to complete even the most basic of tasks. I once owned a Psion S5 it was a great machine, thought the E70 would improve on that. I was sdly disappointed. E60 software is written to make the life of the programmers easy. The obviously don't care about the user, just the features they can cram in.

It's not a bad phone. But u should go for SE P990. A large touch screen,2mp camera with auto focus,radio etc

This joystick issue is a software problem. Just restart the phone everytime it happens.. TC

After using LG and Nokia Handsets for over 5 years, I have gone in for Nokia N 70 recently. More I was attracted with its features camera,mp3 player, mini sd card 1 GB and the quality of siund in the music. I am =verybhappy with the price tag as well. feel that new versions come with additional features and thinner with less weight. Over all I give 8 out of 10 marks

Seems like lot of u guys are having problem with the joy-stick thingy. thank god i live in Bangladesh. fixed my E-70's joy-stick only for 1000 TK (that is 15 $). works like a charm now :D this is one of the best phone i'v ever used.

its my 4th celly after 6800,6810 and 6820. i used 3 cousins before, but sure this "youngest qwerty symbian" is the best, of course not only in its ancestry, its the best phone i ever tested. im not a prof like gsmarena staff but all i want to say, you can never TASTE this experience with any phone(even will any e-series). i wish it wont broke and i can use it forever. thanks finns.

I have been telling all since last one year that Nokia has no interest to support this device and hence they dont repair this device. From this its better not to buy this model anymore. (Joystick is biggest problem for all users after 1 year usage).

Yea there are some on ebay n theres a really good offer for Canada customers. check it out

Steve

Rob, I live in Toronto, and I just received mine from eBay last week. Right now, there are 5 auctions for E70s, and new ones appear all the time. Make sure you're looking at ebay.com, not ebay.ca. phZJ, I've had my E70 for about a week, and it came used, so I don't know the age of my battery. From a full charge, I clock in about 18 hours standby with wi-fi on + email checking every 5 minutes, plus 2 hours of talk time, plus 2 hours of heavy wi-fi usage before the low-battery indicator appears. From the low battery indicator appearing, it takes about 20 minutes of talk-time until the phone shuts off. If you can't charge the phone every night, then turning off background apps and wi-fi scanning will probably give you an extra day, although I haven't tested that.

Rob

So...this looks like an amazing phone--but where can I find one? I live in Canada and most of what I've heard implies that it's big overseas but near-impossible to locate here. Ebay doesn't even have a single one.

mantaray

My phone is just over 1 year old. Battery life +/- 3 days, with about 7 calls a day, avg call time: around 3 minutes. If your battry runs out too soon, press and hold menu button for more than 3 seconds to which apps are running.Ensure Bluetooth and infrared are switched off

I have same question as David. I had the 6800 and 6822. Yes there was difference. 6800 very good, nice clicks, feel good under thumbs. 6822 not so good, not good feel when clicked because it has very bad tactileness. Does E70 have good feel when click buttons? Please let me know. I want to buy but only if keys good and feel good. i sorry for my english. it choppy but I learning.

David Vargas

Hello everybody. I am currently using a Nokia 6120 classic but am looking for something with a qwerty keypad. I thought of purchasing a Nokia E61 and the Nokia E90 but they are much too big. I am now thinking about the E70 because it looks very nice. My question is, how is the tactile feedback of the qwerty keypad? I use to have the Nokia 6800 and loved it. I only replaced it when the Nokia 6822 came out but surprisingly, I hated that one. There was a very large difference in the two devices and immediately changed back to the 6800 until I bought the 6120 classic about 5 months ago. I do not wish to repeat that mistake with the E70 and will be glad to read any messages about the qwerty keyboard. Please let me know what you all think of it and it's tactile feedback. Thank you.

DEV

Hey Ali, You are seems to be over excited writing on some blog space, think twice & not in hurry, I have been using this phone well before you bought it, the locking you mentioned is a manual locking only and not Autolock, 'Gogtjopper' has clearly asked for AUTO LOCK and no MANUAL LOCK, dont write nonsence without thinking.

Ali

Hey silovate, The guy asking you $749 is ripping you off, the retail value of the phone is between $300 - $ 360. The other guy, who is selling for $349, is selling for the right price, but you will not get any warranty from Nokia USA, if it is Chinese version. Hope this helps!

Ali

Hey Gogtjopper, Don't listen to DEV, because he doesn't know about Nokia E70. To lock you phone: Press the 'left selection key'and then 'Asterisk' (Also known as Star Key or '*') To unlock: Do the same as above.

DEV

Hey Gogtjopper, There is no Autokey pad locking software built-in inside Nokia OS. You have to install Free Auto Keypad locking software after downloading from the net. Search the net and you will get one. Frankly phone is very good but Nokia made it very difficult to get the phone, then to get the spares and support.

Iam about to buy Nokia70 from one shop which cost $349 but another shop cost$749.Iam confused.Upon checking the 349-the shopowners say cat its a Chinese made phone but owners of the749 say that the 349 one is Fake.The phones are identical when u see them.Please can u enlighten me on this Nokia70 before i buy it.

very good phone but larag size too carry.

bullit

Great phone if you can get your hands on one for under $300 on ebay. Why Nokia didn't market this phone to a US carrier and since discontinued it I don't know. My only regret is not getting is sooner and retiring the Treo 650 sooner. Screen resolution, flip key board, camera, web capability, bluetooth is great. Syncs my corporate e-mail in real time faster than the Treo the company provided me for that purpose. The only negatives are that black coating on the keys wears off around the edges showing the white plastic underneath and most women who have seen it say it looks a bit too large and resembles at TI calculator from the '80s (looks less like one if you get it in silver). Not as stylish at the 6800 during it's heyday but way better than the 6800 in every other respect.

ive been using this for 6 months and i just use this as my self defense against strangers or evil like robbers.. try e65. its better. its proven.

been using it for a year, nice phone it has everthing (well except the FM). i love the 3G, the office suite editor and let's not forget the qwerty keyboads, and still has the form factor of a traditional candybar. yes, the center joystick sometime stuck, won't go to certain direction, confirm me that the best design would be a center joystick with a directional keys around it, just like E51 for example.

DEV

IMPORTANT & URGENT I own this phone and its best phone I ever had with me, its fully loaded except FM & GPS. However Nokia already stopped to promote & support this Phone, so please think twice before buying this phone. I am trying to change my outside housing due to worn out key pad but I cannot get it from anywhere in the world. (I have been using this phone more than 1.5 Year by now). If you know full housing with Joystick available somewhere then please inform to me as I will buy immediately.

Just got this phone. I looked at many reviews before buying but this phone is one breath taking phone. Especially the display..very nice and the software isnt slow. Very happy with it

anniepie

I owned this phone for almost a year now. Best phone I ever had. (I change phone for 12 times in the last 8 years). This is the only phone I had that the price didn't drop considerably after one year (only 5% drop since last year)

DEV

I own this phone since last 1.5 Year. Quiet Happy with this, because I have been awaiting such Phone from longtime. Unfortunately Nokia doesnot promote/support this Phone, dont know why but they have allergie for this phone which is almost fully loaded except FM. Now after 1.5 Years of usage the Keys started wearing off and cannot read numbers on it. Most irritating part is Joystick, it doesnot respond in some direction. I contacted Nokia, they donot respond properly. Now I want to know if anybody knows whether we can change entire Body of this Phone or not, If so where can we get it from. Please help to save a nice phone.

You can use your wifi to go on to the internet and surf web and watch videos. You tube videos basicly come in different formats. As phones can only play 3gp or mpeg4 formats you have to download a convert for the specific file you downloaded from you tube. Most of the video are in .flv flash video format.

How can I play youtube videos ? Or is there any way I can pay online videos? Thank you.

use this link, it will help. success

I got good news for all users, nokia has posted a NAT and stun option for its voip. presently i have connected my phone with Poivy, voipbuster and voipstunt, its amazinging. my only set back is how to get my regular number show in place of 00. hopefully i'd get around that as well. use google search Nokia Sip setting. Good luck

My sister has this phone. It can read and edit Word and Excel files just like the E90! It has the most brilliant display I have ever seen, at par with N80. This phone is a must for corporat businessmen. All the features loaded into one convenient device. It isn't as bulky as the N95 multimedia phone

Jon2

@T.Bhatia Yes, it has 2mp camera. The specs say so

smarty

Does it supports 4 gb card?

I had recently got down this phone and worked perfectly for the first week or so and after which, there are network related issues and frequently the network bars are at zero level, and virtually impossible to have a steady flow of network connectivity for a minute. Can some one let me know why this is the case and what solution exists? I have tried to change into 3G SIM as well as use it with a normal SIM but no luck. Got this phone from US.

Adrian

Regarding all the questions about VOIP, i want to recommend to all of you that haven`t tryed yet .. Trufone. It`s working just great, no need extra settings, just install and speak.I would say Trufone is the best voip application in the world.

omar

Does it have a voice recorder? And can it record calls?

D.Bhatia

VoIP over WLAN is a really cool feature I would buy this phone if only it had a 2 mp camera.

Ishmizo

I'm so interested in this phone. It's on sale for N$1000 ($142.00). The only drawback I feel is the radio. Is there an accessory that you can connect and listen to the radio?

T Boy

can someone help me, I need to configure my phone with voipuster but it doesn't work. The phone is fantastic, i just got a TytnII but will keep this as well. My only problem is using Voip. cheers, T

How to save a picture or photos when we received one from email? I mean to save jpg directly to phone's memory. Unlike when we browsing on pc, there's always an option when we right-click the mouse button. Here in my E70, i dont find any of that kind options to 'save picture as..' or 'save as' please help. Any input appreciated

Omar

My occupation requires a lot of travelling and i need to do a lot work on spread sheats and word... plus need to email a lot... is this phone worth it in this case... i require a phone that has connectivity and supports office applications (*.doc, *.ppt and most importantly *.exl (Excel)) My heart says yes to this phone... I want opinion from those who have used it. thanks a lot.

After i bought it,i never regreat to buy this phone.The phone can wifi..its amaizing,in the cheap of cell phone we can use the wifi...

Raybunni

Typing this up from an E70, just got the phone yesterday. so far it has been performing superbly. Just a down right nice phone. The only problem is that this phone is really hard to find, I found one from welectronic.com. Despite all the bad comments on the net about that site, I did not have any problem with them this time, order arrived in 2 days for Canada. Haven't had problem with the speed of the programs, and there wasn't any speed issue with flipping the keyboard open, first time took a while, but takes only about 2 seconds every time thereafter. Bottomline, great phone so far!

Jason

I've had this phone for 3/4 year and still love it. Its built in VoIP/WiFi just saved me hundreds in roaming costs on my European vacation - check out Truphone (www.truphone.com) ! And yes, I've found my web browser crashes/runs out of memory less with the version 2 firmware than before.

brent_justin16

just bought this unit on ebay and wow... i really love it... all the things that you want in a phone is in this unit... the battery really last for long... the camera is really clear, its nice love it... love the qwerty keypad and standard keypad... my friends got envy whenever they see my phone hahaha i promise you will love this e70...

Franklin

Also I thought that the most recent firmware update solved the slowness problem a little bit?

Franklin

I thought the problem with it running out of memory when web browsing was solved with the most current firmware update? Are people still having problems with this device running out of memory still?!?!? I'm trying to decide between this and the e61i. The main reason I want this is because of the form factor, because from looking at the specs they both do generally the same thing.

mountdor13

Question: can this phone handle a 4GB memory card? Also can it view as well as edit Microsoft Documents? And finally, does it freeze when running its office applications, like the Windows Mobile for exmple? I'm going to purchase one of these tomorrow. Thank you.

Arslan

..First of all Omar nokia 2600 has automsg send option thts great ..this set has no such option as built in but symbian 9.1 ..means problem solved .. :-),,third party software will do whtever u want this set to do .... now For sound volume problems ...there is only one solution ... buy N series..

Dasypygal

Oh, and one more thing... "IM+" is a great additional piece of software for this phone.

Dasypygal

This phone has been out 1 1/2 years already... any word on a Nokia butterfly-form successor to it? I have owned this phone now for about one year. Very nice small form factor and nice for typing and web browsing, except when the browser runs out of memory. The built-in email has all the functionality that i could want. Only major complaint that i might have though is that the OS in general is a bit slow.

omar

Nokia 2600 has a message sending option of sending the message at a later time. You set the time and it automatically sends it at that moment. What is want to know is that does e70 also hae this feature and are there any other sets with this particular feature. Cheers Omar

I've now had this phone for about 5months now.Did a firmware upgrade to v3xx from v2xx hoping I would get the volume a bit louder for mp3 playback but no luck. Heard it was software-reduced due to international laws. Is there any hack or fix that can boost the volume back up? Or is there any software that can play mp3s at full volume? Others suggested OggPlay. Does is boost audio and bass to high levels?

Dev

Yes, It can handle 2 GB card.

Anonymous

how big is the max memory card that it can handle? can it handle up to 2Gb?

Arslan

yup harmful in the sense that sound volume goes down...

Anonymous

whts da newest firmware of nokia e70?! wht has been improve in da newest firmware? is it gd 2 upgrade cuz i heard sum ppl sed da newest firmware is harmful 2 da fone. thanx

Arslan

nokia will never release a firmware update in future with same sound volume as i asked their customer service support they said that the sound volume in first firmware was voilating some Legal patent restriction or bla bla .... stupid nokia and international policies.

Dev

Dear Arslan, Thanks for your valuable comments and information. I shall wait for any new firmware update by Nokia in which the Sound Volume do not gets affected, till then I will continue to use old firmware (Original with phone = 1.0610.05.07) and listen to my music.

Arslan

yes with the latest updates in firmware nokia ditched e70 sound volume .. its very low .. but the other improvements are quite valuable to upgrade.. the latest firmware is nov 2006 3.10.x.x.xxx . if u hear lots of music on this set which u shud not coz this set is not N series its for serious work. like office apps n voip . but if u listen songs a lot then don't change original firmware 1.x.x.xxx use it njy music with slow landscape to potrait switching n memory loss problems.. i dunt like music so i have no problem with latest firmware.

hilmee

Dear all, how do you do a soft re-boot on this phone (without switching off??) what does a phone reset do?? (Phone reset: power off the phone, hold # + 3 + CALL and power on the phone) tried the phone reset steps above and i did not notice any difference hilmee

hilmee

Dear Arslan & any one who cud help, I�m still using version 2 of e-70 firmware. My last check with website (using Nokia Software Updater) stated that I do not need to upgrade. Where can we get the version 3? I�ve been having constant memory problem. Especially after I opened up my SMS msg, and want to immediately delete it. It will give the �memory full�� message. Another problem I usually get while surfing is �web: no gateway reply� � not sure who�s problem this is I�m trying to set up VOIP on the phone. Have u tried truphone or Fring?? Which is better? hilmee

DEV

Dear Arslan, Thanks for your information on firmware updates of E-70. Please confirm that the version of firmware you mentioned is really latest version ? Because it is Nov.-2006 mentioned. Also please confirm that after this update the sound level is loud enough as same as Original firmware ? Because in my Brothers Piece E70 firmware was updated then all tones as well as Mp3 files were low enough to not been able to listen even at highest volume levels. By this I never changed my firmware for above problems.

Arslan

i m an e70 user too for past one year ... first of all 6280 is symbian but its not from the s60 family its frim s40 which means just ok features no match with s60 ... rest ppl who are facing mmc problems like detection and unistall problems ...i will suggest them to flash their phon live from nokia website its current version is 3.0633.09.04 Rm-10 20-11-06 its risky to flash ur set without a ups and a reliable internet connection but this version is worth it .... just flash ur phone ... format ur mmc and start a fresh ..no more problems i had em once i was using 2.xxxx firmware.. u can mail me for some other problemz this firmware solves many problems like soft reboot of phone on adhoc wifi disconnection and slow sms and slow switching form landscape to potrait mode and viceversa.. i hope this helps

Andy

I'm trying to setup email on E70. What's the diff. between POP3 and IMAP? How can we tell if our email service provider is POP3 or IMAP?

Luiz Rodrigues

Nokia E70 is the most powerfull phone for access the web! Your qwerty keyboard is perfect for type long texts, e-mails and talking in IM aplications.

boyhukas

sunny: you can use Yahoo Messenger by typing in your browser, whether you're using WiFi or GPRS/3G.

310

to sunny: you can go on an IM service like yahoo or AIM via wifi on the phone, but you need to download an application for it. there are a few apps that do this, most have free trials, all of them cost money (like 40-80usd) to have and to hold forever. i hope that answers your question

sunny

i want to buy this phone but i was wondering if i am connected to the internet through WiFi then when i use an instant messenger (aim,yahoo) will the messages go through WiFi or from the service provider internet! i mean can i log on the instant messenger with WiFi connection?????plz help!! thank you.

rahul

If you want a phone that has got a very effective office application and you've a lot to do with internet, I think Nokia E70 is the best option for you. joystick has a problem but altogether E70 is a device which satisfied me.

Bevan

I've had my e70 for 2 months and really pleased with it. I've never owned a smartphone before. The usual brick formfactor didn't appeal to me. The e70 just looks like a normal phone, and yet hides a very effective full qwerty keyboard. The 2 features I am absolutely hooked on both usethe phone's wifi capabilities (aka wlan) - voip: there's a number of equivalents to skype out there for this phone (skype themselves have decided not to support symbian phones. Boooooh!) I've downloaded truphone. It integrates really seamlessly with the phone native features: green call key, address book, etc This is the real reason I bought the phone: to avoid rip off roaming charges. Just divert your incoming mobile calls to your voip number and receive calls anywhere in the world that has wifi coverage. - browsing: the surprisingly high resolution screen combined with the clever keyboard and the decent broswer makes browsing even complex web pages a pleasure. I no longer just "check" my email daily but actually use the phone as my main email platform using standard gmail (note gmail have recently frustratingly decided to serve a cut down mobile version of the site by default. I have to click back on Full HTML every time) downsides: The joystick is already showing signs of wear.metalic paint flaking off. It does get used a lot every day - nearly as much as my pc mouse,but that should't happen just after 8 weeks. The form factor would be great for games, if only the games supported it! I've dowloaded 2 games so far. Neither of them work unless the keyboard is closed and in normal phone mode. Shame... bevan (writen directly on my e70)

John

As per i see it, all the N series of nokia are doing quite bad after sometime of using of atleast 5 to 6 months.I agree the features are good,but the durability and the value of the money is gone only after 5 to 6 months !

e70 is da best, it supports video call but onli thru back camera. joystick started nt workin properly but overall, its fine

6280 is not symbian

Anonymous

Let me rephrase it: I also had a 6280, which is Symbian.

Anonymous

You did not do it correctly. I used a Nokia 6230i with a bluetooth system in Audi. You have to search the car handsfree from your phone.

Anonymous

None of the Nokia Symbian phones have been found to work the Audi factory bluetooth system. It's a shame I had to take back the phone, it's a nice upgrade to my previous Nokia.

sholine

Yet, it has in-built software for Excel, Word & Powerpoint...

Rahul

The phone is great but it's joystick goes bad after using it for 5-6 months. Somebody from Nokia needs to work on the joystick so that its more rugged. Otherwise this phone is good.

to sean it has built in office application n u dnt need 2 pay for it n download it

@Todd "2 - The european version (E70-1) supports WCDMA, and i'm pretty sure it's rated at 384kbps, but NEITHER VERSION supports UMTS!" Here, you have some explanetion for this:) "UMTS is a voice and high-speed data technology that is part of the International Telecommunication Union’s (ITU) IMT-2000 family of third-generation (3G) wireless standards. Wideband CDMA (WCDMA) is the radio technology used in UMTS. As a result, the terms “UMTS” and “WCDMA” are often used interchangeably." "When I bought my E70-2, I was under the impression that I would have 3G connectivity, but apparently I was wrong. EDGE is the fastest that this phone will connect." I have E70-1 and it supports 3G, it is even indicated on display, and it suports wcdma speeds. BHole

Sean

Does the E70 have in-built software for Excel, Word & Powerpoint? Or do you have to downloan / pay for such software?

Todd

I've had this phone for about 4 months now. It's a good, unique phone in general, but there are much better ones out there. There are a couple things that are incorrect on this site about this phone.. 1 - there are TWO versions of this phone. The E70-1 and the E70-2. The E70-2 is the US version, and it supports the 850mhz band instead of 900mhz. 2 - The european version (E70-1) supports WCDMA, and i'm pretty sure it's rated at 384kbps, but NEITHER VERSION supports UMTS! When I bought my E70-2, I was under the impression that I would have 3G connectivity, but apparently I was wrong. EDGE is the fastest that this phone will connect.

its me who asked about the theme. it turns out that i've found the problem. before installing the theme we have to make sure your phone data/time is set correctly. Go to your phone "App. Mgr.", press "Options", press "Settings", make sure "Software installation" is set to "All", and "Online certif. check" is set to "Off". voila..

Dante(Lithuania)

Whic should I choose, N73 or E70? Is it possible to use an fm on e70?

v-ger

Hi! It is part of the international GSM standard, that ALL phones are to be tracable through the IMEI number. The way it works, is that when you connect to any tower for the first time, it checks your IMEI, weather it is in Blacklist, or greenlist ("gray list" does not exist any more as much as I know). The only problem, that the black list, despite rules, are not always shared between suppliers. Once a phone is in black-list it can not connect to the network. This works great in the UK (where suppliers share these lists with each other) but for ex in Hungary Vodafone is not willing to block IMEI reported stolen by the other 2 suppliers.

Andy V

Does anyone know why the software update for nokiausa.com is not working? I tried to update the software for my E70 using Nokia PC Suite and it directed me to the UK version of the software update. I wanted the US version.

Excellent phone. bought mine on upgrade Nov '06. works like a dream. switching between open and closed keyboard mode takes a little time, and it takes forever to switch on... it might be because of all the themes i installed... anyway, GREAT DEVICE!!!

bad things about e70 are the screen is not bright enough in the sunny day and RAM of e70 is always run out which my old phone nokia 6260 doesn't. speed is a little bit slow but its normal compare to my nokia 6260. my e70's scroll key is start not to response, when i press it, i need to press very hard to select. speaker of this phone is a little bit crap as well, cant believe the speaker of nokia phone still not improve. Sony Ericsson's speaker is the best. that's what i think of this phone but i still like it. lol, hope nokia will improve.

@Rouma120 As far as i can tell the incompatibility with previous versions of symbian and s60 is a price for better security and stability of the system and software, and there is nothing you can do. Maybe you can get a discount or something for software you upgrade to s60 3rd. BHole

Yes, it works with Cingular. A friend of mine just got one and he's on Cingular. Had a little trouble receiving text messages from anyone on a phone carrier that wasn't Cingular but a quick phone call was all it took for him to resolve the issue. I'm waiting a bit longer to see how he likes it after some usage before I decide if I will get one or not. He had the 6820 before this so it was a logical upgrade for him since he liked that phone so much.

@Edward "erm...i'm interested in this superb mobile.. how do u all compare the camera with sony K750" I cant compare camera with k750, but i can say that e70 takes very good pictures when lighting conditions are good. "it has VoIp so does it means skype is available?" No there is no dedicated skype software, but there is another witch suports Skype, MSN and Google Talk, it called fring www.fring.com BHole

Hi BHole It has not helped much but thanks all the same

@esim In fact its a sis file which resides in the installation Folder on my e70. According to the instruction manual the file has to be moved to the Themes Folder where the option "edit" exist. My question is how to move the file to the Themes folder as the option to move it to the Themes folder does not exist in the installation folder? Hmm... instruction is strange one... if the clock ss is a .sis file you should be able to install it just like any other application. But if the instructions are right you have to use 3rd party file browser (like Y-Browser freeware pushl.com/y_browser/) to do it. BHole

@esim I would appreciate it if someone would instruct me how to move a clock screensaver file from Installation folder to Themes folder so I can instal it on my E70. Thanks Email if its a *.sisx file (or *.sis) just press joystick after you highlight it in file browser. if the screensaver is part of some other program (ex. handy clock) you have to chnge the setings in that program (activate special ss), and then change the setings of ss in themes. @YgxZ * Sometimes gives convoluted messages - Memory is full (when there is almost empty 2GB external card and phone memory half free) e70 has 4 types of memory: 1. memory that keeps the firmware and os(ROM) 2. internal memory that keeps contacts, notes etc. and aps on the phone 3. external memory = memory card 4. memory that is needed for aplications to run (RAM) When you see "Memory is full" you run out of memory number 4 :) * Very annoying feature to turn on speaker phone (for hands free) operation when someone calls you -- you have to press menu and choose activate loudspeaker!!! Imagine trying to do that while at the wheel. That's why im using car kit :) The other way to swich the loudspeaker on is by opening the phone :) BHole

Nokia has messed up the keyboard on this phone. I owned a Nokia 6820 and that keyboard was perfect. The symbols (shift+number) on the 6820 perfectly mirrored the keys on a standard computer keyboard. The E-70 however have these symbols strewn about the keyboard in an illogical order for no apparent reason, making it difficult to type. THey are not making the best use of this unique and very fantastic form factor.

Anonymous

Overall Phone is not bad: * Great Battery Life * Browsing is good with full HTML * Shortcuts is a great feature * Expandable card helps a lot * Can download 3rd party apps * Keyboard is great for typing There are some inconveniences: * Sometimes gives convoluted messages - Memory is full (when there is almost empty 2GB external card and phone memory half free) * Very annoying feature to turn on speaker phone (for hands free) operation when someone calls you -- you have to press menu and choose activate loudspeaker!!! Imagine trying to do that while at the wheel. * Camera is good only with a lot of light (outside), recording movies is not that great either. * Once you run an upgrade from NOKIA on the phone, the sound/music value goes down. If you think about using this phone as mp3 player, you will have to set an equaliser to boost the volume. Well, hope this helps someone.

I love the e70, the only bad thing about it is the speed, when you shift from horz to vert. But besides that i love it, great for emails and web browsing. the keyboard is awesome for txt messaging.

Anonymous

Friend of mine had a smart phone and suggested S60 ... E70 being one of them. The full keyboard was the selling point for me. I love doing email in the woods, on a train, wherever. The fact that it automatically capitalizes the first letter of a sentance is great too. Here's the rub: Single and double quote marks never make it to the recipient. Its like Im too lazy to type them. Im using YAHOO! WAP mail by the way ... no reason to think they're the problem.

Is everyone elses volume lower than other nokia (as far as ringing)?

Blurrrache

I know,nokia 9300 worked oke with pc shortcuts, but the e70 does not know how to copy 10 cells per example at once, with the ctrl+c command, it copies the field in only one cell even if I select 10 cells, I have 20 cells with a standard table i use to copy the table over and over, i can't do that with the qwerty keyboard(Ctrl+c), i have to close the lid, push the select key under the green key and then it show's a menu with copy and paste,after that open the lid and go on with my activity...it sucks

help me pleasee.I don't know want to buy this phone or other phone.I ask to phone shop "was e 70 good?" phone shop tell me to don't buy it.bcause many client service they e70.give me some opinion please for e70.should i buy it or not.

Can you use windows live or yahoo messenger in this phone? thanks in advance

BHole

@Blurrrache If you have problems with copy,cut,paste try standard PC combination ctrl+c,crtl+x,ctrl+v it works fine in all text inputs in e70, you must use the qwerty keybord of course. as for office aps i didnt used them a lot but i didnt have any troubules. BHole

It is extremely stumble and very very very stupid as a bussines phone, a simple copy command is very hard to do, in excel it's very week in comparison with 9300,if you want to save a file it takes years,as multitasking if you press the red button it closes the aplication and it does not ask for a save, it is usefull only for writing e-mails,other than emails THIS PHONE SUKS, i feel very bad because i sold my 9300 and i bought this...weak phone

you can download themes from this website!!

Haitham, I didn't had any Symbian-based phones yet, but I solvet that problem for a friend. As it says.. the phone's memory is full. Get a file browser and manage your files(I sugest FExplorer, it's freeware).. you should leave about 5-10 mb free so you can save large files receaved via bluetooth. Tell me if this worked for you.

***My Full review*** 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 connections, 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 course, 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! (originaly written by myself for Review Centre)

I love this phone! The keyboard, feels nice, decent sized buttons, just wish it supported stereo bluetooth (so bad that it doesn't in an mp3 device) and was at least quad band (although UMTS 850/1900/2100 would be ideal).

jefefe

For Fihi, 1. it means that the phone have low physical memory, omg worst than the Sony Ericsson M600i, u can either do a firmware upgrade to avoid memory leak or close some heavy application running behind. Or, ask nokia spend more money in their product to increase more RAM 2.when the phone OS (operating system) is busy, the keyboard light will flicker due to non-responsive keypress , same memory problem 3.Move some file and application to your memory card so u will have more space to save your own word.

Does anyone know why the 3G rating for the Nokia E an N series of phones is slow (384 kbps) whereas the ratings on other 3G phones eg Motorola V3x RAZR phones is2-3 mbps. Is nokia just specifying the minimum to satisfy the 3G spec or are these phones really limited to 384 kbps? Thanks, Jim

Fihi

It is a brilliant phone I've been using it for the last 6 months, 3 things I would like to ask, if any one can clarify please: 1. The phone tends get stuck at times if more than 2 functions are performed without closing previous applications...for instance if I want to make a call while I'm mssging, it makes the call, but then gives the mssg, "memory full close all applications and try again" or "this feature is not supported", how to avoid this situation...? I've tried the method given in the booklet, to keep the menu key pressed, which will list active applications, this however does not work at all times, hence the need to restart the phone... 2. The external keypad lights tend to flicker even while it is in use, and when the camera is used for a while, this problems goes away... 3. Could someone pls tell me how to increase the phone's capacity to save words that are not in it's word bank?? It used to save all words now it does not do so... I know, these are not major problems, but they tend to bug me a lot and I've listed them in the order of their importance...Thank you!

hi i bought this set almost 3 months ago n i have explored every part of it .... first thing to say is tht if ur set has firmware < than 2.0618.07.10 31-08-06 than dont think of upgrading it as it will cause the sound volume on headsets very low... next thing for ppl who have sms problem this is due to the reason that u have selected memory card to save sms msgs ...change memory to phone memory 65 mb memory is more than enuf use it .... sms slowness will finish... tip when u press send in sms dont wait to get it sent press the menu button and get ur work doing sms will be sent in background....dont press red call end button as it will save sms to draft... ny more problems u r free to email me ....

This phone is really a good one. I used to have nokia 6682 and E61 but this E70 is better for me. Maybe it not as fast as Sony but it has everything i need: Wi-FI, email, IM, music/video player,word/excel/powerpoint,books reader app,a few games. It is smaller than my previous E61 and Treo 650. Battery lasts for me 3-4 days with daily usage of web/email (30-60 min.),reading documents (30 min. average) and phone calls (1-2 hours every day). I have been using it for the last month and like it so far!!! Good phone to have.

I agree with snoop on a lot of points regarding the E70. My phone's paint job is also starting to wear off after 6 months. CPU is a bit slow, barely useful mem for internet, supposedly standard features like autokeypad lock and stopwatch are missing, the calendar and calculator suck, have to wait for the call connect before activating loudspeaker, etc. These things supposedly should have been figured out by now from one of the pioneers in the industry, unfortunately nokia seems to take steps backward. It sure ruins a supposedly excellent hardware design. I'd like to warn buyers on two points though, the SMS sending can BOG DOWN. As in really bog down. I recommended one to a friend and hers bogged down for 2 mins per message! I just installed an sms accelerator but will still have to see if it improves. Another is sometimes the phone kind of stalls for about 10-15sec when a call ends. It doesn't happen all the time but when it does its quite irritating.

@Jase "How can there be such a wide range in talk time? Old battery vs new battery?..." The standby and talk time depends on what type of connection you are using, longest time in gsm only, shortest in gsm/umts, wifi & bluetooht(for hands free talking) at once :) I must charge my e70 every 2 days when using it to talk and to check email, if i listen to music or wach movies, i have to charge it every day.

I'm thinking of buying an E70. What sort of battery life are you E70 owners getting? I don't want to trust Nokia's specs of 10.5-14.5 hrs standby & 3.2-7.7 hrs talk time... How can there be such a wide range in talk time? Old battery vs new battery?... Thanks.

@ahlaaawy You can change size of java aps by editing 1 file in .jar arcive. You open .jar arcive in winrar for exaple, and edit file manifest.mf in meta-inf directory. Then you put this lines in the file Nokia-MIDlet-Original-Display-Size: *,* Nokia-MIDlet-Target-Display-Size: *,* and save it to arcive again. You heve to change * to numbers of course :) This can help if you know the oryginal size of the app display, and size of phone display. In you know size of app display you can experinemt a little to get best view of the app, usualy by seting target display size as a multiplication (*2,*3...) of the oryginal size numbers. This not allways woks perfectly but it works :) Hope this helps. BHole

i have been using E70 for 6-7 months now and overall satisfactory level is around 8 out of 10. these 2 missing points goes because some little but pretty annoying things. firstly, i have silver version and it looks and feels somewhat plastic or even cheap ex battery cover crackle when squeezed and colour is already wearing off some places although i use proper belt case. phone is packed with many useful functions but sometimes lacks cpu power to start/run them fast enough. also quite few memory for such powerful phone IMO at least twice more is needed. because of memory shortage built in web browser very often reports no memory to finish loading page. funny enough, phone has keylock but no auto keylock and there is alarmclock but wihtout any andvanced settings and so on. of course u can always buy some 3rd party programs to compensate missing functions but IMO should nokia mind to add them by default ...

I want on of these, as my current phone isnt very reliable, so I'm running back to nokia. So i wanna know about the E70s reliability... How sturdy is the wing? how is the joystick?

Thanks in advance!

Hoob

E70 - Thanks. But it's not only about multiple windows... So I guess I'll just wait for v3 and try the Opera in the meantime. liz_in_sf - go to Contacts and chose the name you want the different tone to be assigned to. Then: Options-Open-Select-Options-Ringing Tone (or use the joystick) baboo36 - MENU-Tools-Profiles-General(or other)-Personalise-Ringing tone x-z - I don't think you have to be "retarded" to confuse Symbian with regular Nokia software... Have you ever played with Nokia6280 ? I'm not retarded and for the first few minutes I was not sure if that was or wasn't Symbian. Consider the fact that not everybody is as CLEVER as you are... or not.

i want to get this phone i have always wanted one as soon as i saw a guy in the cinema have one i have always wanted one is it worth buying

HELP!

Help what is my LOCK CODE ? The phone is new and I haven't changed the LOCK as far as I can remember. I never used the LOCK feature other than when reseting the phone so I can updrade the firmware. And it worked before. Now I can't get 123456, 12345 0000 or 00000 to work. Did the firmware upgrade change the default LOCK CODE ? Can anyone tell me what it is? THANKS A LOT!

E70 Rules!

About the memory problem. Well even if you upgraded the FW to V2 the problem doesn't go away. It's a lot better than in V1 but some websites open multiple windows when you click on links and then the memory problem comes up. The only way to have a more stable browsing is either get the free mini Opera or buy the full featured Opera Mobile browser. Well there's a trial so you can try both Mini and Mobile Opera. As for having a slow OS, so was the E61 before the V3 update. Now the symbian OS on the E61 is MUCH faster. We only need to wait for the same V3 update for the E70. Hopefully soon.

hv used d phone 4 a month, 1st impression...slow, especially whn its orientation's chnged frm normal 2 flipped opened. but hey, it jes takes a little while getting used 2, now i luv it. cant live w/o it! bluetooth synchronization's a breeze, 3G connectivity's great, very user friendly. lots of 3rd party sofware 2 try. its form factor really does allows u 2 type really fast, rapid. chatting with msn using e70 is fun. d phone looks modest, unlike its brothers, E60 or 9300i or 9500, but yet, packed w/ features all of 'em combined! luv it! btw, dont 4get 2 install nokia's sms accelerator. guess its got a bug, kinda a fix.

As a user of this phone (comparing to non-users, who think they know it) I agree with some of the issues mentioned here by KANASAIYOU, including the alarm :-( poor performance. And business people also need good alarm to wake them up so this is really annoying to have that very quiet ring. KANA - I changed to the 'rooster', which is the loudest one I could find and it's been working fine for last week or so. No oversleeping :-) My question is about memory (ROM). I've seen few posts about this issue, but no answers. Now more and more E70s are sold so maybe somebody WILL be able to answer it: How to resolve the OUT OF MEMORY issue when using the internet? Can I close some apps? how? Of course I'm not talking about things such as additional apps. I had something called Task Manager installed (a demo) and after closing all the applications I could the status bar was showing 8 or 9 MB of memory in use (the phone has about 10MB in all) ! I'm not writing this to complain, don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic phone. But if anybody has any idea how to make it better ;-) many users would surely appreciate it. Thanx

to x-z: Well, ths snooze is not something important, I agree with you on this. But combine with the volume of the speaker, which is not loud enough, sometimes I couldn't even heard the alarm, and i might miss it (to wake me up!). Not everyone are as alert as you, you're ok with the soft alarm, doesn't mean others are ok. (do you owned the phone by the way??) Also I find the alarm has way too slow crescendo ringing, it took up like 30%~40% of the ringing period! With the soft sound, it even make the alarm worse! My 6108 sounds much much louder, you won't miss a single alarm! Yeah I know it's a business phone, who the hell would dare to oversleep and late for work? Get another alarm instead...Maybe i have the wrong phone for me, but I LOVE the keyboard and screen, was looking at N95 but the screen really damns the phone hard enough...Oh well...

x-z

your friend must be retard if he can't recognise symbian instead regular software on his phone. why the hell you need to snooze alarm 5 times,it's made to wake you up!

BHole

Your friend must be lazy as hell :) Maybe it is not said strait, but if you look into the manual in the section about aplication mannager, you can see types of apps compatible with the phone. Besides, you can find info that e70 is a sumbian phone at nokia or symbian webpages. www.symbian.com/phones/nokia_e70.html europe.nokia.com/A4153004 BHole

Got E70 about a week ago from Nokia website and it came with 2X firmware. So far so good. Wi-fi works great at home. Updating blog page with picture was a piece of cake. Love keyboard. I have never owned PDA or smartphone but it was very easy for me to figure things out. I am not going to mention minor issues because major features works flawlessly.

@ZipoBibrok - Multitasking sucks, i have seen better multitasking in Windows 3.1 on 486 than this... Maybe you just expect too much :) Multitasking works fine with me. - Pop-Port is the lousiest connector i have ever seen, mini-usb for data transfer and standard 3,5mm(or 2,5mm if it's so hard to use standard connectors) for headphones would have been much better and more durable. I dont agree. pop-port is good solution if you start to plug in something different then just headphones. For car kit pp is great becouse its conectors on plugs are short, same for data cabels. Another + for pp is that is you pull cabel hard (by accident of course :) ) in the direction perpendicular to the plug conection direction the cabel just disconnects, if you try this with miniusb you probably damage tha cabel or/and the device. - Charger makes whining noise like insect probably you have faulty one... And about issue with headphone-amplifier, remember that it is not a music or multimedia phone its a bussines one. BHole

Some update of my previous comments after some time using this wonderful phone. Pros: 1. As stated, extrememly sharp screen that you can't imagine how well the text displayed when browsing web pages using the internal browser! 2. great volume during call, i need to lower down 2 bar or else voice from the other side will blow my ear off! 3. keypad/QWERTY pad are much more easier and comfortable than you think, nuff said. =) Cons: 1. Battery seems not too long lasting, perhaps it's the matter of my operator, seems to comsume more bettery power to last long (signal quite weak sometimes), but at least more than 50hrs for normal usage. 2. Alarm clock only can snooze for 5 times?? Interval between snooze is 5 mins, but after 5 times the snooze selection is no more there...Strange? It might be important for some people who have bad sleeping habit, hopefully it can be fixed with firmware?? 3. Music listening is not that loud with stereo headphone, especially in noisy envoironment...Sounds good though, very good and solid bass! Sweet... 4. WiFi is not as strong as you think, it's reception is weaker than the first batch Centrino notebook computer! The rest pretty much stated in the GSMarena review...All in all, it's a very good phone, and with WiFi+3G make the QWERTY very useful, unlike previous model which render it useless/to show off...Basically I can live with all the cons above, except the alarm somewhat lame with the snooze...

ZipoBibrok

I'm pretty disappointed with it... + Incredibly sharp TFT + Pretty good keyboard + Internet browser is pretty good + Smooth video playback finally - So damn noisy headphone-amplifier with that stupid volume limiting which prohibits me from using better headphones. Frequency response is quite good actually but that noise is unbearable... Volume control is also implemented stupidly as per-application basis unlike fe. SE P-series which has common volume control (which does actually control the gain of the amplifier) - Joystick doesn't recognize diagonals - WLAN doesn't work reliably - Multitasking sucks, i have seen better multitasking in Windows 3.1 on 486 than this... - Memory issues... Why opening flip consumes 4 megabytes? does it load whole OS again? - No profile automation - Alarm clock is extremely limited - Pop-Port is the lousiest connector i have ever seen, mini-usb for data transfer and standard 3,5mm(or 2,5mm if it's so hard to use standard connectors) for headphones would have been much better and more durable. - Java VM is too slow! - Charger makes whining noise like insect I hope that next firmware would fix some of these things as some of these are really software issues, but i'm afraid that biggest issue with headphone-amplifier section cannot be fixed with software.

Can Anyone tell me if this phone has a "flight mode" feature

BHole

Configuring email account on e70 is not that hard. First of all you must know some info about your email account(adres for incoming and outgoing emails, type of acount (pop3 or imap4), ports on wich they operate and types of the autentication (if any)). With this info you can start to configure your phone. start at massages->options->settings->e-mail->new mail box and fill all the options with info about account. you can later edit every entry so dont panic is something goes wrong first time :) one more thing, you must have properly configured acses point to accses your email acount. if you can browse the web it means that you already have one, you just ned to remember its name. hope this halps... if not mail me [email protected]

I just love this phone! Apart from everything nice of this phone, I noticed that there's a slight wobble/loosen at the "join" of the keypad (the 2 leg) and the battery compartment. I'm worried cause I accidently dropped it like 20cm from the table and I really worry it'll make my phone loosen a bit! I don't want such thing bug me all day long just wish to know if any owner can tell me if the phone contruction should be solid and snug or my situation is normal? Thanks in advanced!

Still have no info 'bout E70 in black. I've been sending mail to Nokia support center, but even they couldn't give me the answer. Once again - Does anyone knows is there any Nokia E70 in black colour, 'cause I couldn't find any in stores (only the silver one which I find much less attractive).

Twix

Can anyone direct me to a site where someone can help me in simple terms to set up email on the E70. Vodafone are totally unable to help. The manual is confusing. Is there someone at Nokia? Can anyone help please. This phone is close to useful without email capability. I'm a user not a technical boffin

JakeWest, Just press the Camera Key followed by the * key and the keypad will be locked. Do the same to unlock it. This is a standard for most Nokia phone. Very simple.

JakeWest

u wrote: go to settings>security>phone and sim>autolock period Autolock is the full security code thing, need to enter 5-digits every time. We are talking about just keypad lock; so you dont accidentally sit on your phone and call a random number. Should unlock automatically when you flip the phone open, like the 68xx series do.

SeF

below me... better if you get both K750 and E70,.. for an amazing smartphone performance E70 is the worthy choice and K750 must be combined in order for you to have an amazing smartphone and multimedia phone... there's nothing very part good in multimedia if you change K750 to it, but if you use both, that'll be a very good choice... pen key serves as Uppercase and lowercase character selection...

will i do good if i change k750i to it?? i mean, what about photos quality?? in my opinion they are really good, but i don't know much about photography, so...:) i think that it will be a right choice, what do you think?? and another, stupid question (but i don't know anything about symbian) - what is the pencil key for??

WAHOO! My E70 finally arrived through on online center here in Denmark - oooooooooooh, it's slick.

Actually there is such a software for Nokia E70 the Mobile MSN Messenger for S60V3 phones. I know cause I have it installed in my E70 :-).

Got my e70. Used for few hours. Then the joystick stopped working. Only works in two directions, downd and left. Stopped wotking up and right. But worse - pressing joystick and the cursor doesn't stop. It runs in circles. Of course I don't hold my finger on joytick. Cursor runs in circles by itself. No way to stop till I press Exit. Buggy phone.

Thank you JF, I have just placed my first call in 24 hours. One would think something as important as that would be very prominent on the first page of the handbook. Now to get on the internet via wireless: It told me to set up wireless access, which I did. but it does not ask me for the password. and when I go back and click on the little browser thingy to get on the web, all it uses t-zones to try and get to the web. How do i direct it to use my wireless signal. It already sees my signal.

It appears that this phone is rightly generating some real interest. I posted my first comments back on Oct 28th, right after I purchased the phone. So I thought that I'd post some follow up comments. I've now owned the phone for about 2 1/2 weeks and I got to say that I'm impressed with its performance overall. It's well-built: My E70 has taken two really bad drops in the past two weeks. Despite looking a little plastic-y and cheap on the outside, the phone is still working well and doesn't show a scratch! Nonetheless, it is now "protected" by a crystal case and 3-party leather holder that I found in at a local mobile retailer. The form factor makes it easy to hold, but difficult to grip sometimes. It's shapped similar to a bar of soap and it has very smooth, glossy silver sides. If you've got butter-fingers, beware. Invest in a protector, silicon or crystal case. Relatively Stable: I was very apprehensive initially about switching to Symbian. So far, however, the software has been stable and well designed. Just remember to update the software with Nokia Updater or a trip to the Nokia support centre since the phone seems to perform more smoothly. (The real proof of this will be when I try to run Blackberry on the device. See below.) The only problem that I routinely encounter is the cable sync'ing. Sometimes, when I plug it into the USB, the phone asks me what data connection I want. But after I select PC Suite, it simply does nothing. PC Suite doesn't recognize the device and the cable connection symbol on the E70's screen doesn't turn on. Generally, a reboot of the computer solves the issue but I suspect it has to do with Nokia's cable port connect on the phone. It's difficult to connect properly. Poor Support: Whether this phone has been released in S'pore is unclear. I bought it from an official channel in S'pore, but when I went to the Nokia center to find some accessories, they told me that the phone hadn't been released yet and may not be in S'pore. That's nice! If you happen to mess up your phone, I'm not sure what Nokia would do for you. Also, the Blackberry Connect as promised by Nokia is now available online at its own business software site but I'm not sure if local carriers are supporting it. I just noticed that on SingTel's BB Connect page, the Nokia E61 is no longer listed as a compatible device. Hmm... This weekend, I will be installing BB Connect and using it for the first time. I'll write another update afterwards. While this is a wonderful phone, I absolutely need BB Connect for my office requirements. And I think a lot of people are buying these phones (Nokia E61, E70, SE 990i, etc) to avoid having a Blackberry strapped to the belt. If it doesn't work reliably or if Nokia backs out of its commitment to support the BB Connectivity, a lot of people are going to be disappointed. And I'll have to switch to a BB device (sigh!).

Hi It�s amazing but there are two problems: 1st, no repeat alarm 2nd, no automatic key guard

nitin

tk31, def, e70. however depends what features captivate you the most. every handset has its pros and cons, depends how much weightage u give to what factor.

nitin

VV, sorry, i meant - I CANT open such websites.

nitin

VV, dunno about youtube, however i open any website which has flash in it. i dont think this phone is equipped to display websites with flash. however it has FlashLite, but that it seems is for applications designed in flash, and not for flash applicatons embedded in websites.

nitin

headphones which came with the phone in the sales pack were pretty standard/basic - pop port type. re: volume, the phone has great volume when it comes to handset. however the speaker volume is ok, i wouldnt say bad as its better than my previous 6610i. however nothing in comparison to the dual speaker type you get in 6270 or 6623 etc.

When first bought this phone ,i had to send it to authotized service and upgrade the soft. I had the same problem with battery life ,every evening had to charge it. I spoke with the guys from the service and they tested the batery and reprogramed it.In word I cannot translate what they did ,but they explained me that the put a soch of electricity in the battery .... When I got it back first charge 2 and half days .Now only 1 charghe goes for 2/half or 3 days .I am using it on wifi ,gprs ,photos ,etc. So I sugest a soft upgrade ,and a battery test. Any way ,the phone should work great after this upgrade. Keep in touch

only bt 2.0 devices supports stereo over bt. If 1.2 can, great, currently E70 can't. sucks :(

Yes, the reception for this phone is not great. I live in NYC and have the asian version. Many times I'm in places where everyone else has reception and I don't. In addition many times the reception comes in and out for no reason. A couple of days ago I change the phone settings to gsm only and that seems to have helped a little...

Does the speed of the mini-sd matter much ? I did ask for a fast speed mini-sd...but the card only says "High speed" ?!? Does that affect the open/close flip latency ? coz someone says it should less than a second, and I counted more than 1 second. Using newest firmware on RM-10.

Radu what do you mean that the battery life surprises you? Does anyone get more than 2 days from 1 charge? maybe mine is faulty but I have to charge it every other evening.

New firmware for E70-2 (US)!!! I'm happy to report that as of at least yesterday, new firmware is available for the E70-2. It's installed on my phone and working fine. 2.0618.07.10 31-08-06 rm-24 nokia e70 switch between portrait and landscape seems quicker, and it's possible the browser memory problem has been fixed, as i was able to sucessfully load the entire page of cnn.com w/o errors.

PJT

Hi All I've been waiting for this phone to be released in Ireland since it was announced in Oct 05! I've got the trusty old 6310i and its serves me well but its a bit battered from being bounced around pavements etc ;-] Based on the reviews I thought the E70 would solve all my problems and give me all extra the functions of a pda in my phone. I need office applications particularly but have held off getting a pda to wait for the E70. I'm getting frustrated with the delay. The recent reviews show the E70 has serious bugs in using office applications and you'd need to be a programmer to get the phone to work properly. Then the indoor reception is poor. I've no option now but to change soon - the on/off button on my 6310 broke in its last fall and I have to keep it charged because its almost impossible to get it restarted. Should I wait for the E70 (they now say it will be out before Christmas!)or should I replace my 6310 with a newer model and a pda until all the bugs are sorted in the E70? Cheers PJT

tw

Sounds great and this will be far superior over existing 9300. But where to buy in Singapore, as I read with interest. Unfolded keyboard will be hanging in mid air, at least 1 half of keyboard. May not be able to use it like the 9300 with all fingers as it will topple, why qwerty then?

Adam

FYI, The US model (e70-2) does not come with a miniSD card at all. So smartblond, you aren't missing anything.

Hoob

harryc - Thank you! Great idea, took me 5 minutes and it worked. Yes, it was the WIDCOMM (unsigned!) driver :) The OS on the E70 looks and feels fine, I was using some 2003 Windows Mobile on HP PocketPC before and Symbian just beats it, it seems even faster(!) And now with Skype for Symbian coming soon... fantastic. smartblond - Yes, your phone will work just fine without the card. However, I strongly recommend buying one - at least 1GB, to actually enjoy the phone's RICH features. The one from the box was only 64MB, I didn't even touch it :) I can sell it to you for 5 bucks :D, that's all it's worth. So don't cry, go buy! KZ - the reception is in fact a bit poorer then on my old 6310i, but that would not be the reason to get rid of it. BTW, THAT was a classic Mercedes Benz of the mobiles.... :) Remember 7-days or more between charges?

smartblond

Hey Hoob, sounds like you might have an issue that I just had with my T-Mobile Dash. My problem was that I had HP/Windcomm bluetooth drivers as that was my OEM drivers. I uninstalled them and rebooted. Let XP find the microsoft bluetooth stack drivers. I turned on bluetooth on both PC and mobile and made sure to not have either setup with the other. Created a virtual COM port and paired the devices while they were both discoverable. Took me about 2 days to get it all worked out but when i think of it now I should have tried that from the start. Hope it saves you time and works the same way with your phone.

Hey, RX! Thanks for the comments. I tried again this afternoon to connect to my router and it connected! It's great -- good display of the page and relatively fast! But it seems to automatically close the browser after you've browsed a couple pages. I think it may be due to the problems others have mentioned below. I'm not sure about its official release date here in S'pore. I purchased it through an official channel and CNet Asia had a review of it, mentioning that it had been released. Do you have info otherwise?

KZ

Has anyone here noticed poor reception on the e70? Personally, I have a number of cellular devices and outdoors, they are all fine. Indoors, the other phones all have reception (albeit less than outdoors), but the e70 has NO reception whatsoever. It leaves me with absolutely NO chance of using this phone at home or office! Also, the menu button on the qwerty keyboard does not work (I tried to re-install the firmware that was already "up to date" - but this did not help at all!). Any help/ideas would be great. Thanks!

Hoob

Hello to every happy user of E70 :) The unit is fantastic, although the new firmware is a MUST! No problems with rotating screen delay or contact sorting. Question though, I can't connect/sync with my PC using Bluetooth. USB works, IR works. I've been playing with it for a couple of days now. Any thoughts?

Anonymous

I am using D-Link Wireless Router DI-624 for my home wireless network. Connect using E70 easily without any further setup. Just go to Web, search for LAN and select what is detected. Very simple. Web browsing is satisfactory except for memory limitation after accessing several pages. Hope Nokia can solve this in future firmware upgrade.

rx

to Ma Kexiu, for the wifi, remember to set to 64/128 bit according to your env. And maybe you want to input the network key in hexadecimal, not in ascii? Try to set to hexadecimal in the menu. And if still not working, try using static IP, not DHCP. btw, i think E70 is not officially released in sg?

Effective today, I'm a proud new owner of the E70 here in Singapore. Based upon my 6 hours or so with the phone, here's my thoughts. Pros: The size is just nice. Not too big for the front pocket of your blue-jeans. Won't create an unsightly or uncomfortable bulge...unless you're Axl Rose in skin-tight leather trousers. The phone is rather attractive (I have the silver model.) The screen is large and colors are crystal clearn. The phone keypad is large enough for big fingers to easily type out an SMS. When the phone is unfolded, it's easy to type out longer messages, eg emails, but the keyboard takes some acclimation. Nokia's PC Suite flawlessly sync'ed with my IBM Thinkpad and MS Outlook through the provided cable. The ambient light meter seems to work accurately. Cons: The fold out keyboard does really take some acclimation. I'm used to the Treo QWERTY keyboard, so it's taking me a little time to get used to it. But I seem to be making quick improvements. The joystick is small and it's easy to select the wrong icon. Nokia advertises the phone to be loaded with Blackberry Connect, which is one the reasons I chose this over the Blackberry 8700 series. But I can't find the BB Connect anywhere in the system. It may need to be loaded by the service provider? The Symbian OS is extremely slow to load up and isn't exactly lightning fast between screens, but's ok. I tried to load up the Wi-Fi in my home network but I wasn't able to get it working properly. The documentation with the phone isn't exactly clear or thorough. Oh, and lastly, the video conferencing. There's only one camera on the back. So if you video call, you can see the other person only, or visa versa. I didn't buy it for that, so it's not a big minus for me. Anyways, I'll post again once I have more time to experiment with the phone.

Harryc, The OS is buggy, and my reception was terrible. I sold my E70 on ebay after 2 months. Get a Blackberry Pearl for $200 and wait a year until Nokia works out all of the problems with the OS. The Pearl isn't qwerty, which I thought I would hate, but I love the smart type. The phone is so small and has a great form factor. Reception is great and email is the best by far. The Pearl doesn't have all of the bells and whistles of the E70, but you will save yourself hours and hours of fighting with the phone. Try it out and you'll see what I mean.

Hey I just bought the "T-Mobile Dash" HTC S60 phone. I was a user of a Nokia 6820 before. I don't like the new phones keypad because its all crunched in where as the nokias keypad is split in hlaf down the middle. But more over I wanted to ask E70 users how the phones OS is. I like the Nokia sync software better than this microsoft junk on my smart phone. Does anyone have a problem connecting this phone to a computer over bluetooth? I my experience with Nokia has made me hate some things about my phone. Anyone with the E70 have gmail and can you download attachments alright when one a wifi network? Someone please repost or email me because I only have a little time to take my phone back and order an E70. (E70's are on buy.com for like $380 unlocked! I wana do that if someone can help persuade me to return my phone!)

beks

does the wifi on this phone work well with 128 & 256 bit encryption?

Barry

To rsawoseyin: Maybe this might help one of your problems; I don't own the E70 myself yet (itching to get it!), but I've been reading up a lot on it. Go to: Go to Page 2 of this review, scroll about half-way down, it states: "...then there's the clipboard. If you're editing a document there's no apparent way to cut and paste. In fact there is, using the Ctrl key secreted away on the right edge of the QWERTY keyboard. But this isn't documented in the manual, and there's no "Edit" menu indicating the presence of these functions. (The manual contains one reference to the clipboard, suggesting that entire worksheets can be pasted to the clipboard. That's all.) It even fooled this reviewer, who had spent a month with the phone..." Maybe this tip will help Good luck!

xaero

Is it true the black E70 is onlu for U.S. market (850mhz)?

rsawoseyin

I buy this type of phone to reduce the number of gadgets I carry around. I tried to use the spreadsheet application. I was very, very disappointed to find that: 1) It does not have a simple copy/cut and paste function. So, you cannot copy the contents of a cell and paste it in another cell. 2) The format setting has a bug such that no matter what you do, the cell alignment is not saved when you save the worksheet. 3) Although in theory you can have several worksheets in one workbook, you cannot duplicate a worksheet in the workbook. You must start every sheet from scratch. 4) When you want to select a colour, the colour selector is very lousy: The rectangular box you move around to select the colour is hardly visible. My view is that the serious applications in this phone are buggy. Nokia should rewrite them. A simple copy/cut and paste is an absolute minimum for any office application. I find the office applications in the phone extemely hard to use.

Hi All, I bought a Nokia E70 about 2 minths ago from a an online vendor in New York. Since it has not yest released in the US, it is teh European/Asian model. I have to say that this phone is awesome! Text messaging is great. 802.11g is great. Call quality is great (t-Mobile). The downside is the lack of available software for s60 3rd edition, but the market is getting bigger and bigger. Excellent phone! Only cost USD400.00.

Mozam

Bary it doesnt come with a desk stand. And mem card that comes bundled with the package is 64 mb. And the headphones are of mono variety. I m sure this guy is a fraud and u should avoid it.

Adam

Barry: That sounds shady to me. You don't get any type of deskstands with this phone. He might be throwing something in that is aftermarket, but it's not in the original Nokia box. Also Western Union throws up a flag, but I don't know what the rest of the world has available to use since I just use PayPal in the US.

Barry

I'm anxious to get the E70, been reading all the cool comments here. After weeks of net searches, I found a company in England that's selling the E70, unlocked and simfree, at a very low price - - I'm a little dubious, but the company's registered with UKData Ltd., everything appears to be valid - the seller says he accepts Western Union transactions as payment, he seems anxious to move his goods - has written back to me twice, would like me to place my order...is he just using standard sales tactics here, or...? ? ? ? He listed a buncha accessories that come in the box with the phone too (11 various items, deskstands, memory cards, headset etc) - that normal? ANYONE out there have any really bad stories about ordering a nice new phone, then getting screwed? Would love to hear any comments - should I order with this company??????? TYVM - Barry

Can't wait for Nokia to make this phone smaller!!!. Love the idea of the qwerty keyboard, but wished it was smaller. Looking forward to next year's improvement

Dan(S.Africa)

Fooooooolks, this is DA G-THANG or G-Spot, the cream of the mobile cell phones. At this stage, I'm the very proud owner of a N70 & N80 but this E70 made my jaw to hit the floor.After reading the GSM preview (today was my lucky day), I found that E70 does not have any equal. It provides with everything possible for the business, e-mail (Blackberry solution)on the go & entertainment (except the camera quality pictures not that good-but excellent video quality). A minor "ditch" but who cares when the phone is 99.99% perfect with amazing and user friendly features as ONLY Nokia capable to create and deliyer. Can not wait for my Vodacom contract renewal next month- I'm DEFINITELY GETTING THS BEAUTY !!!! to improve my NOKIA collection. Folks, we are the proud owners of true & proven Excellence and Refined Quality of the cell phone industry. Other manufacturers are trying tn take Nokia's example - but they will never come close even in 1000 years- 'Coz they CAN NOT! (my comments are typed and posted by using the amazing N80) but now, I can not stop thinking & counting the days left till next month.Wishing to fall in a deep sleep now and wake up then. Who can help me???? In the end, to ALL Nokia Lovers, NOKIA RULES worldwide! >>>>>> With Luv and Peace from S.Africa

Risto: There is a black e70...only it's the E70-2, the us version of the phone.

will nokia release a black E70? The gray/silver one looks too large to me.

i am just thrilled and overwhelmwd to have this phone, as well as you all! Simply Cant describe the excitement... Though i have a question...where could i get free GPS software that its working and by any chance not a trial version? Thanks

Eric

The display is just superb! the OS is sophisticated & typing messages/notes couldn't be better.. Browsing E70 mobile internet is the best experience I've ever had on a mobile phone. a bit weighty though but it's worthwhile, and value for money (compared to N80)

Anonymous

As to how the keyboard holds up: I've never had a problem with any of the 6800 series. Mine has been thrown, dropped, smashed, ect, and it still works like the day I got it. I've been a fan of the 6800 series for a while.

dave

being a regular sony owner, i can honestly say that the change was easy to make. this phone is by far the best phone i have had yet. it offers all of the features anyone could ever want. it doesnt matter if it's for personal use or for business, it's all there. no flash for the camera kind of suck though. other then that it's great. as for sony and motorolla handsets...around this price range i dont see any that are better. the k800 and 750 have way to many bugs and the keys break down. as for motorola...i dont think anything they make is great, from the featureless razr, to the radio-active slim. oh and i think someone asked if it was durable. this phone is as durable as they come. no squeaks or creaks and the casing is a dull grey meaning the apperance of scratches and fingerprints is nearly non-existent unlike motorola's flashy phones.

Steve

Is this the 1st phone with voip? This seems to be the way of the future including Skpe, well at least the way businesses will go towards in the next couple of years. Apart from that all every consumer wants to know what is the RollsRoyce of mobile phones? First of all, what company produces the best mobile phones? Easy........ NOKIA The only one that comes close is Sony Ericcson. But there phone appears to be directed towards the younger consumer market, ie Walkman range etc Don't even mention Motorola, there design is starting to lack invention now. Samsung also look like they've run out of there own ideas. Yes, Nokia are a cut above the rest. The technology crammed into these new mobiles is second to none & clearly lead the way in innovative design & technology. So what Nokia mobile is best? Well for me it was a straight up match between the E70 & the N80, but now with the arrival of the N95, there can only be one winner. The N95, 1st off: - The bulkiness & weight of the N80 has gone. - The Megapixels have been increased. - The video recorder quality has improved 5 fold. - HSPDA - Quicker Bluetooth connectivity - Quicker EDGE - Built in Sat Nav - Greater embedded memory & storage slot In all a more superior mobile. A mobile PC it could be said. The only downfall for some may be the fact the N95 does not have QWERTY feature of the E70. Furthermore, we can mention the E70's capability of providing the new technology VOIP. For me this technology may well be the way of the future or maybe not. It may just be another flash in the pan, just like the 3G streamlining technology, which was an excellent idea, but in hignsight never really grasped every consumer for 2 reason.... 1. The Quality 2. The Cost But this may be the 2 reasons why the E70's VOIP may succeed. Steve

radu: I assume you are using the included data cable right? I haven't done a backup via pc suite yet on this phone. But I have done a backup to the memory card from the phone, and that seems to work fine. gimly: I haven't tried out the adobe reader on the phone, but are you able to zoom out on the document and still read it? I would image you can't turn on a text wrapping function because once the pdf is created, it's format is set...you can't edit it directly, yoiu woudl have to go back to the original document (like the Word doc) and edit that. In general, I too am waiting for a E70-2 firmware update. I don't understand why they haven't released one. I've encountered the out of memory issue with the web browser, and the switch to landscape lag is bothersome.

Anonymous

I have the US version E70-2--- I don't believe that I can currently update that firmware yet. Hopefully Nokia will get its act together on this issue too. But some European posters have suggested that the new firmware doesn't help the RAM issue by much. Anybody care to comment on whether the new firmware has helped the RAM management?

Blackjack

Out of memory problem should be fixed with the newest firmware,update your phone. For better wifi disable the power safe mode in the wifi settings.My wifi works now a lot better. Tell me if it works.

Anonymous

I love this phone with one HUGE exception-- "Out-of-memory" issues come up several times a day. Nokia built a great phone but then stupidly skimped on the RAM-- and it crashes or closes programs by itself when RAM gets low. Like others, I also had trouble finding a good push email for the phone, but finally settled on the Consilient push email. I think it works well.

Cowboy, When I purchased the phone I needed to get a new sim. It would not work with mine, which was several years old. Maybe that's the problem. The fact that the T. Mobile salesperson forgot to activate my new sim didn't help either...

I've had mine for a few days now, and although have not figured out most of it, it looks great so far (PuTTY works! ;-) ). I have a question which have been asked several times on this forum, but seems that it was not answered yet. Here in Vancouver I could only get a version from Hong Kong, with Chinese as the only alternative to English, but I would much prefer Russian. Does anybody know if it is possible to get other languages, e.g., "upgrade" to the firmware with different settings? I mainly need the inputting Russian characters capability and (maybe) fonts for emails/SMS (the browser does have the fonts), but the dictionary would be useful too. Thanks a lot!

Cowboy

I have a big problem with my E70. I cant get my cell of Offline mode for it to pick up my sim. I cant get no signal because my e70 will not pic up my sim. Also I cant seem to complete the software update download for my cell. The phone is not lock and I;m thinking its a defect in phone. If any one had a similiar problem and might not what I could do short of sending it back to the manufactor it would be a big help! It has nothing to do with my service provider. I cant change the phone profile from off line. it just wont work. HELP PLEASE!!

Hey all, thought I'd chime in as an owner of a Nokia E70-2. Firstly, it sucks that Blackberry Connect appears to still not be released for this phone. I thik I must have tried EVERY version for EVERY device and still haven't had success getting a connection between the computer and the device to configure it. Using 2.1.1.17 Nokia Desktop Blackberry Config tool. If anyone has any advice as to how to get an E70-2 to run any BBC software lmk. Secondly, I'm successfully using SipGate, IPTEL and intermittently Gizmo as SIP/VOIP clients. I can make calls, haven't tested receiving. As far as quality goes, Sipgate seems to be the most consistent for a connection, and the quality of US-US calls even though they are a UK based company, seems the best. Calls to overseas have been scratchy at best with either of the three. I've watched a couple of movies on it that I've downloaded as Divx/Xvid and converted to 3GPP using Super, quality is good. my only peeves with the phone are: 1) No 3.5mm headphone jack. YOu have to use the Nokia pop port. 2) currently no Blackberry connect. So, if anyone has any question, or wants me to test something out on it, (I'm not going to test coverage anywhere outside manhattan...) let me know and I'll do what I can.

after being extremely close to getting this phone on ebay or from several other online sites, i didnt end up getting this amazing phone and for that i am really both relieved and angry. just once, if love cingular to be able to make full use of some of the most amazing phones on the market. i would love to get this phone, however, the E70-2 has no umts and the e70 has no 850 band leaving me just royally mad. So, my next thing maybe id wait for is the N95, but, the US cant support hsdpa. i h8 my countrys cell service. if any1 has any ideas on a umts phone with the 850 band that is a smart phone with a camera non touchscreen id be in love with it. meh so i am a bit demanding.

Adam

Has anyone found a good (leather) case for this phone? I'm thinking of purchasing one that was made for the Nokia 6800 since the dimensions are very similar (e70 slightly smaller) and trying that out. Any ideas?

Adam

Anis: You can have the phone auto search (and display a little icon in the corner when it finds something) every 1, 2, 5, 10 minutes. But my expeience is this eats up a lot of the battery. But you can also check for wi-fi when you need it, either by opening a program (wed browser) that needs an access point and you can tell it to search, or though the connection manager, when you open the wan screen it will search. Harryc: What do you want to know? Yes the US E70 is offically out. It has been sicne Sept 8/9th, but for 2 weeks was only available in the Chicago or New York Nokia stores (where i got mine). It is now offered for sale through nokiausa.com, but they are out of stock. If I were you, I would check the e70 page everyday or go to a Nokia Store. This is the best QWERTY in my option. I am coming from a 6820 that I had for 2/3 years, and I don't like the other 'one piece keyboards' other phones have. smartblond : No I haven't done any VOIP, but it has screens asking for connection info. Sorry I can't help much. Look at the manual on nokia's site if you want to see what config info you can setup.

JF

The us version E70-2 (850, 1800, 1900) does not support VoIP through www.truphone.com (the site for e-series phones), because of the old firmware on it and no way to upgrade it yet. On the other hand the "silver" E70 (UMTS, 900, 1800, 1900)upgraded to the new firmware does support the VoIP. Check it out...

smartblond

This is for Adam or anyone else who have used this phone for voip. Have you used VOIP on your phone? if so how did you use it? What provider? what software...etc. can you please give a step by step. will highly appreciate that. thx.

Does anyone have any USA release information. The phone was on the coming soon page, then I checked yesterdaya nd it wasn't. I was excited thinking it was released just to find the phone saying coming soon but they removed it from that page. I emailed them and asked about any information they might have about the US release and any possile carriers for this phone. They basically laughed in my face and said any info can be found here (as in the phones main page) That pretty much pissed me off because they couldn't say they don't know or can't tell. Are there any better qwerty key phones that compare to this? I've got a 6820 now I want that wifi and camera.... Anyone with info could you please email me or reply to this? Thanks guys.

Hi kahyeec : Pre firware update : Simplified Chinese & English Post firware update : Simplified Chinese & English No change what so ever. Seems Nokia Updater "knows" which type of E70 you are having.

I spent 3 months with the E70 and finally dumped it last week for the Blackberry Pearl. I'm glad I did. My problems with the E70 were as follows: 1) I'm T-mobile US, and I could never get push email working. I tried their Exchange software, SEVEN (beta) and Roadsync. None of them would work for more than 24 hours. 2) The IMAP email was unreliable. Many times people would say to me, "didn't you get the email?". I would turn the phone off and back on, and the email from hours ago would come through. 3) Everytime I would lose a signal (which is a lot because the phone reception sucks) my POP email would reset from auto-connect to manual. When I would get the signal back, I would have to change the settings back to auto. 4) Phone reception was terrible. I would be in a room with ten other people, and I was the only one not getting reception. I was constantly missing calls. 5) SMS would not come through and I would have to turn the phone off and on again to receive it. 6) The browser (although it is the coolest I've seen on a mobile phone) was very slow and I would get memory errors and it would shut. I upgraded to the new firmware last week, hoping that it would solve my problems, but it didn't really seem to solve any of the above issues. I simply could not go any longer without reliable phone reception, emails and SMS. I was a former Treo user, and chose the E70 because - on paper - it is the perfect phone. I loved the hardware (with the exception of the poor reception), but the software is just too buggy. Symbian and Nokia really need to work this out. I've been on the Blackberry pearl now for a week and I absolutely love it. Of course, I'm giving up a true Qwerty keyboard, WiFi, a better camera and video capabilities, etc., but I get great reception, reliable push email with no third-party client or endless hours of set-up and de-bugging. It's a beautiful little phone that is RELIABLE. It's a pity, because I really loved the E70 and wanted it to work (not to mention that I wasted $500+). Anybody want to buy my E70 with lots of accessories cheap?

PN

QUESTION: How do you navigate through the phone menu? I guess scrolling up/down is done with a joystick and selecting the sub-menu by pressing the joystick. What about going back one menu at a time? I hope, not by turning joystick to left. I hope the upper right botton is for that purpouse.

Geoff

This is to kninvest. You responded to Bab about the compatibility of the E70 on US networks. You provided great feedback! Thank you! My only other question for you is what about the 3G network? I noticed other GSM networks around the world are using the 2100mhz standard, but Cingular is using the 850/1900 band for that??? Will the 3G portion of the phone, provided it comes from one of the Nokia stores in chicago or NY, work as well? You seem to have good knowledge about these things. Thanks for the help!

Rico

I just order my E70 today wanted to know if the software would already have been updated on it or would I still have to download it. If so exactly where to I download it from?

scoop: Sounds like you were unlucky enough to be one of the people who tried to upgrade when the software first came out. Nokia have admitted that there was a problem with the software that caused exactly the problem you describe. According to Nokia this is now fixed so shouldn't happen anymore, although I'd say if you can't live without your E70 then wait a while before upgrading. As for the upgrade not being worth it I'd have to disagree. For me the much quicker switching between landscape and portrait mode alone has made the it worthwhile. If you want more info on all this there's a very long discussion about it here:

What is the mp3 player on this compared to something like a sony ericsson w810i? thanks in advance

scoop

hi ls i tried to update my firmware using firmware updater but in the middle of the installation it stopped and said failed to install and when i tried to switch on my mobile it wosnt working so i had to go to the nokia service and paid money for reinstalling the software,my advice to u is not to use this program and its not worth because there isnt any difference between older ersions or newer versions.

darry

Hello good people, i'm interested in buying Nokia E70 within the next two weeks and i like to find out whether NOKIA also released the black colour alongside the silver into the market so that there will be room for one to make a choice between the two colours. LONG LIVE NOKIA the maker of quality phones.

Did anyone tryed to install BlackBerry?Does it work?

I'm a new Nokia E70 user. Got this phone in Malaysia and would like to upgrade the firmware using the Nokia Software Update. Did any E70 user in Malaysia attempt this upgrade? And, after the upgrade, can we still use the Chinese inputs for SMS. Thank you in advance.

kahyeec

Felix, I just wanted to know what language selection are you left with in the phone settings after your firmware update . Will it still have English and chinese ? or will it be showing Malaysia, vietnam,indonesia and philipines? and do u get a different font than the one it original came with?(Tahoma I think, or maybe not)

nite

kninvest, u talked about the e70 us version with the 850 band. is it still 3g?

I can't complain about this phone. It's complex enough to keep me learning yet faithful to it's features. The camera is ok and the voice quality is on par with the price. What dazzels me is the wifi man, oh do I love to wifi in school. Often enuoght there is new software to be downloaded and used for s60 3rd editions. The last piece of software I installed was a internet playlist program, I can listen to shoucast programming over the air or by wifi.. this phone is anything you want it to be.

Anonymous

Hi Natasha, I am from Manila. Yes, you can rewind and forward using real player in S60 3rd ed phones like the E70. Just gently push the up or down of the joystick (in E70, N73) or navi keypad (in N93). In Nokia Stores (like the one in Robinson;s place in Ermita), its expensive, about 26,000 with 1 year warranty. But there is a new shop there also, the one which sells exclusive apple products and accessories (macintosh and ipods), the E70 is only 23,800 with one year warranty under Nokia.

Natasha

Can you rewind and forward movies with e70? i'm from philippines.. how much is this phone worth?

Felix

After a glitch free DIY firmware udpate... Almost done reinstating my E70 to it's former glory. Functional apps installed so far : Adobe, Zip Mgr, TravelMate, Golf Pro 2, S60 Internet Radio. (now hunting for URL to an app I installed previously called Mobile Search by Nokia. Cool app) Great time listening to streaming audio on "S60 Internet Radio". But it seems rather CPU intensive. 'Cause it took forever to multi-task between other running apps, if possible at all. E70 became inresponsive. Must exit this app, inorder to perform any other tasks. While surfing ... >>> Switching from Portrait to Landscape took 0.5 sec >>> Switching from Landscape to Portrait took 1 to 1.5 sec Frequency? 20 times ... 5 in rapid successions. It is significantly more responsive. Test it out and let us know your experience.

Abraham

Felix: That's neat. You mentioned that switching from regular view to Landscape view is faster after the update. Can you count how many seconds it takes and report back here? thanx a bunch. cheers.

Felix

MANY THANKS BD ! Completed self firmware update. My E70 is now BRAND NEW! Downloaded "Nokia Software Updater v1.0.88" Broadband required. Took 15 mins to download from web to PC. Another 5 minutes to download to E70. All these are done without interruption using the updater s/w. Remember to backup/restore using Nokia Suite. After recovery work, Non of my previous installed apps works! Have to reinstall all my apps from scratch. Will do it later. Portrait / Landscape switching "is faster" and does appear "instant". Surfing works fine, seems faster too.

NOKIA LOVER

Hi NOKIA IS NOKIA The Nokia E70 is the best mobile phone in the world in data transfer capability, screen color, camera photo quality & price.And this mobile phone will hit the other mobile phones like the sonyericsson M600i=(baby toy)

Have managed to successfully update firmware on the phone, now version 2.0618.07.10 :-) Apparently there was a problem with the update process which was causing phones to die but it looks like that has been fixed. Having said that, do proceed with extreme caution because if it goes wrong you'll probably have to return the phone to a Nokia service centre. Also, make sure you backup your phone first as after the upgrade it is like a new phone. Update is available here: Make sure you follow all the instructions very carefully and don't blame me if it goes wrong :-) As far as the update goes the main thing I've noticed is that the time to switch from landscape to portrait mode is dramatically reduced, usually 2 seconds max. Still takes about 45 seconds to boot up the phone though. Can't comment on the browser memory issues I'm afraid as I don't use that. Let me know if there's anything else you want me to check.

this e70 phone just won't stop to amaze me. just got my 2 gb sandisk mini sd and it is smooth sailing... i thought it will create some problems but no. i got almost over 7 dvd turned-to-3gp movies and a tons of documents and mp3s and photos & it still works so fine... this phone is worth the money...

Felix

Hi "Happy user", you said ".... Can't find equalizer...anyone can assist me on this..." 1) Play an MP3 file 2) Select "Option -> Equaliser" 3) Edit "Option -> Equaliser -> Option -> Edit" have fun!

KK

Felix, No I did not try because I already bought the silver E70. Did not realised that the black E70 on display is a dummy.So it looks like only silver E70 is available in Malaysia.

knvinvest

To Bab: The US version of the E70 is now being sold at two locations only: the Nokia store in Chicago and the one in New York city. The models are 850mHZ band, which works fine with Cingular (and T-Mobile using 1800 or 1900 mHZ) here in the US. The ones you're seeing being sold on the internet or ebay are the 900mHZ bands, which are the Europian versions. I would give it about another 1-2 months, and you'll be able to purchase the US model from nokiausa.com website. Unless you're lucky enough to live in Chicago or NY city and purchase it in person yourself. Unfortunately, they do not accept phone orders, otherwise I would have one in my hands already!!

Bab

Does anyone know if this phone will work with Cingular in Michigan. I have heard different things, Cingular says this phone is not compatible with their system, but others say it is. Does anyone know for sure because it seems the european version is being sold in the US right now.

nite

Thanx again Felix. I have a w810 and while I love the MP3 on it and the camera, I need something to hey my email off my blackberry. This phone seems perfect but how does it run on cingulars network with the umts band in regards to reception. I am wondering if I should just wait for Cingular to have the umts band and the hey it. Any feed back?

scoop

for every one who ownes this phone do not download the nokia software updater for the e70 because my e70 is not working after i have used the "do it your self firmware updater" to install the newer version, it seems that nokia wants us to go to the nokia services and fix our phones there just to pay them the money they want. how come a firmware becomes for free and updated at home????!!!!! that is the trick part

hi, guys.im using my treo650 writing this. could any experienced user of e70 tell me about the durability of the builtin keyboard?? I bought a n93 2 week ago and didn't enjoy it. and my treo's keyboard nearly worn out, not good quality at all.thats why I need a keyboard for my office word processing. many thanks!

Happy user

Hi to all!! From KL, Malaysia Just got my E-70. Original set in KL. Here are my short review on this... Just because I bought this doesn't meant it is the best compare to others but it depends on individual need. And after used it about a day, now I know why it's a business phone. Just get a Nokia HDS-3 stereo headphone and you just converted your E70 to multimedia phone. Battery I done single charge, use wifi at KL airport more 3 hours. Play MP3 more 1.5 hours. SMS about 15 to 20 same day. Call about 30 min... And still got 5 bar running (total 7 bar). Size... Jus nice... little bulky but you got everything in 1. Remeber e70 got wifi. and it is a 3G phone. Screen Bright...compare to other... well if you compare with pda... you can't compare the battery life... Extended memory Got 1 gb miniSD... doesn't slow down the system it seem. Qwerty keyboard this is roll eyes... Imagine typing 300 character of e-mail... enough said. Yes..300... camera.. So so.... can't expect much on 2mp... Want better go for digital cam... But can't focus macro... Video... Great ... just great... better video then other.... Sound... Just nice... no need to blast so hard... you want ppl at cinema hear your phone... Most business ppl put the phone quite mode... OK now... Bad thing about E-70 1. Cant switch off camera sound. 2. If your wifi router running on fix ip or with different subnet. E70 won't connect. 3. Need to clear cache file all time.. 4. Run video on real player.. cannot choose middle track.. Need to find other software. 5. Can't find equalizer...anyone can assist me on this.. 6.. to be continued..

Hitesh Sidhwani

the E70 looks really neat n I'm contempalting to buy or not. My primary requirement is easy grip, easy messaging n good speed. Please let me know hoe is it to use.. thanks

Lalusana

Bought E70 at low yat Malaysia Ori set for r.m.1860 on 9/9/06 The full keyboard... 1st was hard..after a while... felt like typing on pc keyboard. Email was really fun.. Wifi or 3G, or Edge do work wonders. The only problem is everytime I'm taking pictures, the phone make a shutter sound. The screen is bright.. you can actually read text on it... I own a pda (Compaq 3870) but this phone simply beat PPC. I meant the size...the weight and the screen just nice.. The battery run great... single charge I managed to surf at KLIA for 3 hours. Playing MP3 for 2 hours (bought HDS-3 stereo headphone) make short call (30mins total) and sms more 15. I still have 6 bar (total 7). Picture is great..can't expect much but much much better than 1.3 mp cam.. Video... is clear and nice... I own a 6230i and the phone (e70) is a clear winner.Email is simply the best..imagine typing more 200 character... Overall I gave this phone 8/10... only prob is sound when taking pictures excel formula doesn't work well... using IF, count, Vlookup. And there's no cover for this model yet...

Felix

Hi "KK", Earlier, I "tried" one of those Black E70 on display ... it's a realistic Dummy Phone. My hopes dashed ... did you try yours?

KK

I bought a silver E70 last month. A few days ago I saw a black E70 on display at Bukit Bintang Plaza in Kuala Lumpur. Silver is nice but I think the letterings are more pronounced on the black phone....easier to see. I wonder whether Nokia sells the parts (keypads and surrounding plastic) which enable one to change the colour of the phone.

BAdam

Hey all, I've been drooling over this phone's specs for a few months. But have heard of a few issues with the phone. I've been perodically checking this forum firmware updates/fixes (symbian updates?) that have made the phone more reliable. I have heard of two main issues: * Screen orientation switching latency (relatively benign) * phone crashes (hard to put up with) Any info you could offer on software updates or information on your experiences with above (other?) issues would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Roks! I have another question. I'm from Bulgaria and one of the reasons I'm gonna buy this phone is that I can edit Office documents (Word, Excel etc.). Is there a way that I can install Cyrillic fonts on the phone and use the Querty keyboard with them? Does anybody know?

I'm using my e70 on maxis unlimitd data package. maxis service countr at KLCC bungled up by saying that e70 is not supported since it is new. however, in came another service reps with very nimble fingers who set my phone up in less than a minute. my e70 is now surfiinng n browsinng anywhere flawlessly.

Ranger

Suave, if u manage 2 get d complete software, pls share w me. i just bought my e70 at low yat plaza CSL outlet. i suspect that my dictionary fuunction was deleted by d shop to make room 4 mp3. i also can't review pdf file. I can't find the apps. Do we have to download the reader? btw, i'm writing now on my e70.

Suave

I think I messed myself up & reformatted the 64MB card before I knew there was anything useful on it. (I was trying to delete all the previous owner's stuff from my E70 when I got it.) Does anyone have that software backed up they can share with me? In particular my dictionary was initially working when I first got the phone, but now it just says "Dictionary word information missing. Install word dictionary." I saw a previous posting saying their dictionary started working with the softward on the 64MB card. BTW- someone asked about Internet Radio on the E70. It WORKS! Check out: Thanks! Suave

Hi, I've been thinking for a long time of buing this pfone an from evrything I've read it seems pretty good. I have a question, can anyone tell me if I can attach files to e-mails or download files via the internet browser. For example, I have a song on my phone and I want to send it to a friend's e-mail. Can I do that? Really appreciate it if anyone could tell me!

Kostas

This is a really great phone but i need to know some more things about it before i go out and buy one: - When you say that it takes a lot of time to change orientation, does it take "irritating" long or "enough-already" long or is it just "not-instant" long? - Do you experience any crashes? (other than too many apps open or other human mistake) - ANYONE tested it with a Mac? For sync and net surfing/instant messaging etc. - Have you tried recording a call? Is it ONLY 60 seconds? thank you very much in advance for your answers

Hi "andy", Both my 2GB SanDisk & Kingston miniSD are using FAT. Haven't try FAT32 as suggested by some posters ealier. Also did not re-format them. Fresh from oven, so to speak. Just stick it into my E70 and let it auto pre-configure the new cards with all necessary directories. Good luck. Successful "4-in-1" use for my mini-SD (with SD converter) a) HP hx4700 - SD card b) PC USB drive - SD card c) Panasonic camera memory card - SD card d) E70 - mini-SD card

Felix

Hi "meng", YES! E70 is all the followings ... a) Big-ish b) Bulky to carry in pants c) Slipery to hold d) Kind-a Heavy too ! I find it almost impossible NOT TO DROP IT. After accidentally dropped it while still brand new ... I bought some non-slip stick-on and covered most of the back of the phone. I do continue to get occassional "LOOK & STARE" from follow passengers. As my DIY looked really out-of-place. Not much of a choice, it's TOO NEW! E70 holder & accessories hasn't arrived on the market yet. So I carried mine inside a Nokia N-GAGE case. It's a good fit.

> To would be E70 buyer... MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE COME WITH THE PACKAGED "64MB MiniSD" CARD. ELSE YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE MISSING OUT. Test your phone with this card inserted !!! > Hi "Ranger", YES!!! Is it really "surfing the net (using notebook) anywhere you wish to" experience. But using BlueTooth connection will drain both NoteBook & E70 battery packs. Best to connect using the free "Type:CA-53 USB cable" that came with E70. > Hi "sandro", You don't need to have front camera to qualify as a 3G phone! Just that the other person can't see you, but they can still see what your rear camera is pointing at. Here's the technical jargons on H263... Basically, when you make Video Calls using your 3G phones, H263 is the codec used. When you send MMS ... the video clips will most probably in MPEG4 format. Various .MP4 implementations are QuickTime, 3GPP, Real Media etc... "The H.263 codec is a high quality lossy interframe codec with a quality and compression ratio comparable with MPEG-4. It can be used for video-conferencing or for compressing large files. H.263 is an ITU standard, designed for low bitrate communication such as video-conferencing and video-telephony applications. At the same time it can be used for a wide range of bitrates, and not just low bitrates. H.263 is a hybrid of interframe compression that makes use of temporal redundancy and intraframe transform coding to use spatial redundancy as an compression advantage. Accordingly, a superior compression ratio can be achieved in comparision to other video codecs." More confused?! :) You asked for it!

can i get AIM instant messanger by just using wifi?

I just got my E70. it's a really good phone only there are some areas that need upgrades. firmware could possibly take care of that. I mean i had the 6800 and you know when you switch from the standard keypad to the integrated keyboard, it never took so long 4 d screen to switch but on d E70 it is a TOTAL CATACLYSM. apart from that i would never change it. d joystick couldn't be better.

Was wondering if anyone has the model that is designed specifically here in the states, the 850mhz model? I called the Nokia store in Chicago and they have a few in stock. I am with Cingular and wanted to know if the unlocked version will work ok with Cingular? Anyone that is using this currently in the States, please give me feedback. I am thinking about purchasing this unlocked version, or maybe waiting for Cingular to hopefully carry it... Thanks,

hows the quality of the video recording in Nokia E70 camera? what's the difference between H263 video format and MP4? whatt does H263 means? Is there anyway that you can still use video calling even though it has no front camera? I really want to buy this phone. thanks

Hi Felix, Thanks for your comments. I'm carrying around my PDA HP IPAQ 2490. However it kept me hunting from one hotspot to another when i need to respond to e-mail etc. I also carry my notebook with me for trips lasting a few nights or when going to places i feel secure carrying it. I needed the E70 to be my modem to go on GPRS/EDGE/3G connection. Have you tried using your phone as modem for your notebook?? If yes, is it convenient? Is it really "surfing the net (using notebook) anywhere you wish to" experience?? BTW, i'm very dissapointed with my IPAQ 2490. Battery life is ridiculous. A shop in Low Yat Plaza, KL quoted me RM1,600 for E70 recently. Original, new with warranty. I backed out since i need to see its review prior to committing, as i do not wish it to become my IPAQ sob story.

xelad

I have just acquired my E70 after very long waiting times...and it's simply fab!Unfortunately it has been brought to me without the memory card and therefore i miss all the applications from it...I will purchase one pretty soon, but can someone pls email me all that it was saved on the original one?!Many thanks in advance!

Hi "Ranger", I normally only spend 1 hr each (post check in, pre-take off) idle time in both KLIA and local airport. 6 trips to KL last month hence 12 hours. Addtional 2 hours flight time. Here's my success thus far; 0) Seamless Web Access (with java & pop-up enabled) 1) Web access to both my Jaring & TMNet a/c 2) My corporate e-mail = MS Outlook Web Access !!! FlawLESS !!! Read & reply mail on the go. 3) Internet browsing using GPRS/EDGE and 3G (have tried with both my 012 & 019 3G sim cards) But I prefer using just WiFi. 4) PDF reader font is amazingly crisp (at any magnifications). I carry a complete PDF version NIV Bible in my miniSD card. Technical manuals etc. But there's PDF size limitation. I split up all my original PDF files into multipe chapters of smaller PDF files for error free reading. 5) Word, Excel & Powerpoint supported (Office 2003 compatible) I used it to review my presentation materials. 6) MMS & Video calls are functional. 7) Watch movies & listen to music 8) Install additional S60 3rd apps (limited apps right now, more to arrive by year end) 9) Sync with my notebook PC via both cable & bluetooth. Both are FAST! E70 is certainly adequate, but don't expect miracle. I used to carry my HP hx4700 PDA, but I'm more fond of my E70 ... at least for now ... until Nokia churn out something better. For you info, both the PDF reader & Web browser on E70/N80 are far more superior to those available on Windows Mobile. That's the main compeling reason I made this switch.

Ranger

Felix... I read your postings abt being in KLIA for 6 hrs, airport etc, travelling... you may be the person i should talk to regarding E70. Just need to clarify; i consider myself a road warrior who will need: 1. Seamless internet connectivity 2. Access to gmail, yahoo mail and my company's email (xxxxx.com.my) 3. Internet browsin using GPRS/EDGE and 3G 4. Open attachment .PDF, MS Office files and edit them 5. Able to MMS. Can the E70 do all the above?? Ranger

Sean Hamilton

When I bought this phone it had so much promise, 3G, full QWERTY keyboard, Hi-Res Screen, and much more. However when I received it, one of it's problems was immediate to me. The BLUETOOTH on here SUCKS!!! I am forever having problems with it, losing connection with my headset, not connecting, not able to turn the volume up... Just some of the many problems with it. Also I have a UConnect Handsfree system in my truck, and my last phone, a Sony-Ericsson S710a it worked just fine, I turned the key on, the system connected, and everything just worked. Not the Nokia, I must physically tell the phone to connect to the UConnect, not a good thing, and not seamless. The bluetooth is my biggest concern, but not the only. The phone has problems sometimes that are only cured by turning it off and back on again. It locks on up, and is very slow all around. My finally compliant, while not Nokia's or the phone's fault, is USA not using the 2100 Mhz spectrum that UMTS is defined for and used worldwide, except here, once again we can't just do like everyone else and be happy. Sean, a unsatisfied Nokia E70 owner.

Hi "andy", I have been using both SanDisk & Kingston MiniSD, both 2 GB version. Both equally fast problem free. I also double them as my personal "PC USB drive" for my PC file transfer using a compact MiniSD USB reader. SanDisk card for my ".3gp" movies files, Kingston card for my ".mp3" music files. This month alone I spent 6 hours of idling time in KLIA airport, another 6 hours of waiting time at local airport, 12 hours of flying time and lots of window shopping time in between. So you can see just how much personal time I've spent with my E70. Believe Me! My E70 has literally grown on me ... or is it the other way round. Good fun. Great trouble free surfing (remember to frequently clear your cookies & cache files). Fantastic mobile entertainment (movies & music). Never freeze on me yet. BUT I DO NEED HELP. Can someone recommend a 4 inch square shaped magnifier for my E70 screen? Where can I get one? Similar to those available for GameBoy or PlayStation Portable... HIGHLY APPRECIATED. The TINY SCREEN is a really EYE STRAINER.

andy

this phone/pda is amazing... video is great even the sound quality. if you have the right software you can play most of your dvd collection while on the go... tried other brand of mini sd but sandisk mini sd fat32, at least 1 gb, is a lot faster & worth the money. I was wondering if anyone has tried a 2gb sandisk? any problems? any input will help...

I bought a 2GB Kingston miniSD card for only RM155 (USD43) at the PC Fare in Kuching, Malaysia recently. 2 months' ago I bought a 2 GB Apacer mini SD card for RM240 (USD66).Really surprised at the rapid drop in price. Read in one of the forums that by formating the SD card using FAT32 the MP3 sounds better (less distortion). This also means that it may be pssible to use miniSD greater than 2GB on the E70. I wonder anyone in this forum as tried this.

That is why I chose to use Real Media approved audio/video converter for my video clips/films playback on my E70. You can access to DigiWifi or MaxisWifi in KL City itself. __To "Mike" E70 speaker phone is loud enough. BUT NOT AS LOUD & CLEAR AS NOKIA 6131. My girlfriend's NOKIA 6131 has a LARGER screen then my E70. Better speaker cum speaker-phone. Lighter to hold. One button access to handsfree function. Interestingly Nokia 6131 is a well balanced phone. Well done NOKIA.

check whether the phone is set to auto checking wifi availability: (menu structure from my E61, should be the same as E70?) Tools / Settings / Connection / Wireless LAN / Show availability disable the wifi auto checking.

I am fully staisfied with the handset except the battery life. I bought the handset on 19th of Aug and till today i have to charge it daily. I am getting talktime of 3 hrs without using bluetooth,gprs or 3G. Can anyone suggest how to increase talktime and is 3 hrs is ok or i got the duplicate battery. I have verfied the authenticity of battery on nokia.com/battery and its a valid battery. Except that handset if fantastic in all aspect.

Mike

Can anyone who uses a e70 tell me how loud the music speakers are? Thanks

ROMANIA

to ibj2 : soory! my mistake! not multimedia keys but control keys (the 2 keys under the screen...for camera and contacts)...

john.c.

does this phone have a real-one player. it says in the nokia website that this phone doesn't have but here in gsmarena, their review says it has.

oseSan

Hi, I neew a phone which can open documents attached to emails and edit the document. Which phones can do that? Nokia 6680, N70 cant do that? Thanks

Jimmo

The model I bought was awful: 1. Can recieve calls but cannot make them 2. Incredibly slow, glitchy operating system 3. Menu key on fold-out keyboard not working Other than that, it worked brilliantly :) I suspect I just got a duff unit, usually Nokia produce good phones and the comments of others imply it's just this one unit.

rafael

great phone ! but i'd like to listen to some internet radio, live streaming. anyone knows how ?

roks

hey, with e70 browser, u can't save pictures or copy any text online.plue it does open TXT files,but u can't read it becoz of the fonts....u have to change to "sans MT936_s60" then it works.

What multmedia keys are you refering to, Romania. I don't have such keys on my E70.

Felix

Welcom to Malaysia !!! 1st Answer : Use ANY hot spots! KLIA free WiFi works. Then there's the StarBuck, CoffeBean etc ... Mid Valley hotels blanketed with 54MB/11MB speed (need to pay) but super coverage. 2nd Answer : Speaker phone quality SUCKS (Sounds breakup)! Vibration mode physical mechanism SOUNDS CHEAP! The stereo MP3 music is good. BUT MOVIES (.3gp) BEST !!! Of couse you must "know" how to convert your favourite movies to high quality (320x240) .3gp movies to play on your E70. I LOVE IT !!! See my other post on which s/w apps to use.

Hello, I have read that the memory full problem during browsing can be handled by simply clearing the browser memory. Could someone please confirm this, by loading CNN a couple of times and when you get the "memory full" please clear the browser cash and try again to reload. Does it work that way? Thanks and best regards: Archi

Got my phone a week ago, indeed its truly a great phone, and provides it all for the most economical price compared with other phones with the same specification.

just got my e70 yay:)this phone is brill.i've just got rid of me n80 due to crappy slider.

Actually, I did post where to get it exactly (with address, directions and the guy's name too... but that must not be allowed, as my posting was "deleted". My email does work... The system here changes the email so it doesn't "link" properly- though a number of people just correct the format and email anyway. Here is my email (you'll have to re-type it... I spaced it out so it doesn't get auto-deleted): j o h n c r a n t @ y a h o o . c o m Thanks all (I LOVE my E70 !!!!!!!!!

Your email doesn't work. Why not just post the name of the store, or provide a link that works? Is that not allowed?

johnC

YES, you can buy this in Chinatown... Just email me and I'll send you directions. I paid just $285.

Anyone have any idea's, I can not send or recieve text messages or browse the Web with my E70, works just fine on the E61 I have but not on the E70, all the APN are exactly the same, HELP!!!

Just one more item for our "NEW" user...... The "links" that go to ads are NOT added by the users... they are added by GSM Arena who SELLS certain key word links to advertisers, so that we (the users) don't have to pay for this site. Thanks GSM Arena!

Warn

Please ignore John C.'s comments. Can't find it anywhere in Chinatown NY or anywhere else for the price he quotes. In addition his links are all to ads that have nothing to do with this phone and his email is bogus...

I'm texting from my E70 right this moment. Continue from my previous post... Just need to insert the packaged 64MB miniSD into a PC. Copy every directories & files (including hidden ones) to the PC. Then recopy everyThing to either 1 or 2 GB miniSD. Your phone will not know the difference. It works really well for me now. Cheers. P/s Yes, i too continue to experience auto Reboot, freezes and tons of stuff reported by just about every post here. BUT I AM A LOYAL NOKIA FAN. I'm a happy E70 user.

I just got my E70 yesterday to replace my old 6820. I have to say, this phone is fantastic. I agree with everyone that the UI going between portrait and landscape mode has quite a bit of lag, but all in all, the functionality is way more superior to the old 6820/6822. The camera quality is a gigantic leap better than the old 6820, but not as sharp as most 2MP phones. The digital zoom in video mode is as smooth as can be, hardly any choppiness at all! The version that i bought was the Chinese version, so the Dictionary it came with only works in Chinese. Any one know how i can get the English version? Also, i am using Email for Exchange, and I can't get get it to do a "always on" sync. It keeps showing "disconnected (roaming)", so I have to do a manual sync every time. Any ideas?? Other than that the phone is a bit heavier than 6820, but it is solid. I highly recommend it as an upgrade or replacment to a clunky PDA!

when i bought my n6680 a year ago all my office apps were on the supplied memory card & this then sparked a debate that when you buy a new memory card how do you get all your apps back???

PLEASE READ THIS !!! All new E70 owners. Goodness me!!! I just found out that my "disused" 64MB miniSD card that (came with my E70) I thought I never needed as I purchased and used a 1GB miniSD cards ... was infact LOADED WITH TONS OF "missing" applications... My dictionary function is now working for the very first time. My exchange is now working too!!! Why didn't anyone tell me this before!

Good phone, but .. - I buy this phone lately, and I tried to used Memory 512 that Freely provide by store (promo) beside the 64 provide by Nokia. Then I found problem, overall it detected but after I used Camera and try to save it, found message "DATA CORRUPTED!!" (the main message). Then HANG.. I return the product back, and they give me the New One, but its still hapenned. So I had to find solution: CASHBACK, I WONT BUY THIS PRODUCT. (Though I like it so much, damn). - The second lack, is the update of picture and the OS tilt rather slow than my ex 6680 (I guess 6680 the fastest Symbian I ever used). It's like N70 that people said like Snail.. oh what a pitty..

dude

how much text messages this phone can hold? is it more than 1000?

Ken Aniess

Beware! The Nokia E70 is not supported by Maxis Malaysia for its 3G Portal services like the CNN and CNBC video live package. I am very disappointed and enraged as I purchased my E70 phone from the phone shop in Maxis' lobby in KLCC and I obviously expected to be able to use this service. Is anyone with Maxis aware of when or if the E70 will be supported for live video feeds? Would a software upgrade by Nokia make this phone compatible? I noticed last weekend that the E70 model was not sold in the phone shops in Singapore�s malls. Perhaps the reason for this is a defect or compatibility problem with 3G live video feeds?? If anyone in the know can clarify this issue I would be most appreciative. Ken

FYI for all owners, this is a great site for Symbian discussion and question... use the search and you can find all kinds of goodies.

I got mine over a month now and all I can say is I got my money's worth. I'm a person who travels a lot and needs to be connected to the internet a lot. This device has all the connectivity options you want, ie. GPRS, EGPRS/EDGE, 3G and WiFi. The screen is excellent! It also supports various push email applications including Blackberry. It has DOC, XLS and PPT applications. It also has a PDF viewer and can support ZIP files. Email can handle attachments. Music player is a basic one, but it's fine with me. Good loud speaker too. Videos are good, but the still photos are lousy. The downsides of the E70 is the camera and the slow UI. It takes time to get used to the lag switching from one function to another. But, with all the features jammed into this unit and it's matching affordable price (approx. $400), it's a great buy for power users like me.

Last week, I just bought my E70 at Sungai Wang for a cool (Ringgit Malaysia) RM 1,860. Not the AP set but fully warrantied by Zitron/Nokia. Sadly only the Silver set available. I really wanted ONLY the keypad to be black ... but everything else can be silver / gold mix. I have seen E70 photos from Taiwan with just the right mix match!!! Can't wait for those accessories to arrive here. I travel a lot ... so I converted trailers/teasers video clips and full length movies into .3gp tailored for E70 screen size. (Took me days to find the right apps to do the job) YES I DID IT!!! Thanks to "Helix Mobile Producer v11.0.547" Now I can watch self-made two hours movie "Layer Cake.3gp" on my E70. 350x240, 25fps, VBR resolutions. About 300 MB file size. Nokia officially replied me saying NO to self-download for E70 firmware update. Must bring to their outlet. thank DEV for all your tips.

I just got mine today. Pheonomenal overall. Really really amazing. The one downside is the time it takes to go from normal to Landscape... can be as long as 5-9 seconds at its worst... usually much faster than that tho. I can't seem to find (or it does not feature) as much customization as there was available on my 6800. I need an aftermarket video player tho, its seems the realplayer in the phone hates every format except the version of mp4 that the phone records... Is there a good symbian/nokia site/forum that is good for this kind of thing? Thanks Nokia e70- 400 dollars. 1gb MiniSD- 30 dollars. Stereo Headset with remote- 23 dollars. Stealing my neighbor's Wifi internet from my cellphone- PRICELESS.

Today is my contract day!!!!! And the best place to get cell phones in New York City (in Chinatown, of course!) is getting the European version for me tomorrow! Here's hoping they have it for me as promised! They did have the asian keyboard version in stock, but they will have the english version for me at a price too good to post yet! (don't want to jinx it!) I'll report in on the results of my own tests as soon as I have it. And on the price (unbelievable!!- but this is the same dealer that sold me the Motorola A780 Smartphone last year for $200 cash (tax "included" when you pay cash in Chinatown, NYC and no hidden charges on a one year contract!). I cannot wait any longer! I spoke to the Nokia store in Chicago today. They pretty much said there was "no real reason" to wait for the North American version- if I was going with T-Mobile anyway AND that if I travel overseas, I'll probably get better service and roaming with the European version anyway!! That's all the motivation that I needed to hear!!! Thanks All- = ;-)

Can anyone tell me about the Battery? I'm considering between E70 and E60 I've heard that E60 is about 2-3 days (average use) What about E70 ????? Is it also smart in Batter Saver ????

I guess this is the "whatever u want it can do" phone ever made by Nokia. I'll buy this phone soon.. I've been using 6680 type for 6 month, and use Yahoo GO! apps for receiving mail and for Yahoo Messenger, quite good. So I hope this phone can replace the flaw of quality pixels and Web browsing (real looks).. Also the nice thing is it can edit the office apps. Conclusion: this is really phone for businessman.. U know Intelligent never looks so good, haha, but anyway it had better keypad than the ugly version of 6680. Though the review said that some drawback from quality of camere (not best 2 MP), anyway I rare use it, so be it..

Sridhar - I'm facing the same messaging freezes. Please post here if you find a solution and I will do the same.

E70

Greetings. Its been 2 weeks since i have this phone and i am satisfied. The phone never crashed, never lost signal, WiFi works like on a pc, however, the RAM problem appears. When you switch in landscape mode, the qwerty driver and display rotation do require some time and RAM. Then when you switch back you do not get all the RAM you used for landscape. Why? Well, it is not the phone. It is the OS, NOKIA reported there is a glitch with RAM allocation. Nothing we can do until an update ....

Sridhar Subramony

hi users.... i bought my E70 frm Malaysia , just 2 weeks ago and hv configured all my e-mail and the internet settings for home , work and outdoors . It is a great phone .. Of late i have been experiencing this problem . My phone "freezes" on the Messaging application . When this happens , all i can do is to turn off the phone and switch it on. It works well , till the next time the "freeze " happens , again only on the Messaging application. When i checked with Nokia Care , they suggested to try using the phone w/o the Mini SD card , however this has not made a differnce . My phone still pfreezes . Malaysia Nokia care - says i shud format the phone and reconfigure all settings. I am not satisfied with the suggestion . I would be grateful if anyone cud give me any tips / help ...

As heavy user I'm worry about the flip system in E70. How is the battery life? Thinking about P990i, maybe better than P900?

JohnC

I've decided that this is the one for me. The ONLY thing it really needs to be a "10", is more RAM... The 75 MB falls into the category of "just getting by" for a sophisticated device such as this. NO, this cannot be SOLVED by adding a 1 or 2 GB card... That is not how the Symbian OS works (from my terrible SONY P900 experience- see below), you can store aps, music, files, etc on the card, but the OS does NOT access the "memory" as system memory (unless something has changed significantly in this build- which I doubt based on all the "can't load CNN posts". I've done lots and lots of reading on the E70. Lots of evaluation of the Pros and Cons (did you know that you LOOSE the USE of 6 MB of RAM when you switch to LANDSCAPE mode? That adds to browser memory issues I've read about here.) Still, all things considered, I'm going with this one over my only real other choice (BenQ Siemens P51, which runs Windows (and crashes (as per posts on Windows phones) as often as Windows desktop). I did had the P900 and paid full price for it... worked seamlessly for 11 months and then, replacement after replacement from the service center left it crashing and restarting so many times per day (different units!!!) that I could no longer even use it as a basic cell phone!-- SONY... no longer the one and only. I cannot take another very expensive gamble on SONY, if they refuse to stand by their product they they sold to me.... HERE'S MY Question: Can ANYONE tell me where in New York City I can BUY this phone LIVE & IN-PERSON (not just "order" it)????????????? I want to be sure I get the European build (see it for myself), not the Asian build. Please email me if you know PHYSICALLY where to buy IN-PERSON in New York City: [email protected] (that carries it, not orders it) THANKS GSM ARENA & posters!

When I try to connect via wi-fi with my E70, the phone may download half a page then stop downloading all together. This happens when I'm within feet of my office wireless network. It also seems to happen when connecting via GSM. The signal strength isn't as good as the Nokia 6620. The Nokia 6620 never dropped calls. This E70 drops calls even when the signal strength is good. Anyone have any solutions.

it's a great smartphone

rsawoseyin

I have had the E70 for barely 24 hours. While I think the design and functionalities are good, I think the software is buggy. I have run into the following bugs already: 1) Under Security Settings (Tools > Settings > Security > Phone and SIM > Autolock period) you cannot set the autolock period. When you want to change it (from the default "None") it only presents you the prompt to enter the lock code. 2) As someone else already found out, the spreadsheet application has problems - You cannot change font colour or background colour. I also understand it has a problem accepting formulas. I wonder how many more bugs there are. I suspect Nokia will be releasing updates to the firmware soon. But where I live in Nigeria, there are no Nokia agents that can upgrade the firmware for me. I am really disappointed that Nokia could release an otherwise excellent phone with such poor quality.

den

to all series 60 third edition users in some of the magazines it still states that it could be the end of the year before all apps for this edition are updated & modified to run on this spanking brand new third eition series 60...Just read the p990 report & now think this an even better option

i have e70 already for 3 weeks, but i have not much information how i can do internet calls here in Uruguay.

I discovered something wrong with the top row of numeric keys when the E70 is opened (i.e. using the qwerty keyboard)and am not sure whether my phone is faulty. When the "Shift" key is used in conjunction with any of the keys from 3 to 9 the wrong character appeared on the display. For example, "Shift 6" should give "&" but I got "%". "Shift 7" should give "*" but I got "&" and so on. Can someone with the E70 please try. Thank you.

I just got mine today! Finally! It took awhile for me to set up a WLAN connection to my wireless network but all the time and the money to the phone is "WORTH IT." Worth every penny. Its the best phone i have owned. All the features; the flexibility is amazing. The video recording is awesome eventhough it lacks flash. I'm still playing with it right now(sending this post from the e70) and I've only scratched the surface... ANd NO LAGS! (knock on wood) Cheers to Nokia. I'm installing a GPS software i'll let ya guys know what happens next.

Question: Anyone been able to sync the E70 with an Apple Powerbook (G4)? Even more important to me. Anyone been able to connect the phone via USB-cable to the Powerbook and use it as Wireless-Modem for Internet access? If yes. What are the requirements? It really seems like an outstandig phone. Me must have..........Greetz.

If you actually read up on the definition for a 3G Phone...it means that it is capable of high data speeds

boyhukas

wondering: 3G isn't just for video calls. 3G is actually the ability to transfer data up to 384kbps, which can support video calls. Since this is a business phone, 3G is being used here as a medium of faster internet browsing, downloading, etc. Video calls can also be done, but you will not be able to project yourself to the caller since there is no secondary camera.

Gagbag

@wondering Thats a question you'll have to take straight to NOKIA.There are many phones with 3g without video call like umm..6151,6233,6234 and I can go on and on(well not really cos' thats as far as I know.He he..)There are a couple of SE and moto phones too.

wondering

i thought this was a 3G phone? why it seems like just 1 camera behind the phone? where is the second camera for 3G purpose?

This is a very great phone! The only bad thing is that it doesn't have radio. Keep it up Nokia

I have have used it for few months. I'm very satisfied although the battery runs out very fast. I have to charge it almost every night.. The camera is also good - both video and still shots can be taken with zoom. It also have night shot -mode, self timing mode and serial mode (it takes 6 pictures ). The free active sync (ActiveSync For Exchange) with our Exchange also works fine after few days of struggle... Just bought a 1GB card because it DOES NOT support 2GB. That's what they told me at Nokia. 4/5 POINTS

Hi All I've had my E70 for just over a week and general impressions are pretty good. With practice the keyboard is getting really easy to use, the screen is awesome and web browsing is also really good. On the downside, I have this phone from Vodafone and they have really struggled to make the email client work... they can't get the packet data connection working so they just send their own email client to you :-( Also, there is no blackberry support yet!! Nokia haven't finished the software... hopefully, this will solve the email issues, once it finally arrives. jase

I wrongly typed WLINK instead of WLAN in my posting. Sorry.

Archi, I have the May 30 firmware and using WLINK at home. Just as Dev mentioned, I can load CNN.com fully and go to at most 2 other sites before memory problem sets in. However this is not always the case. I guess it depends on the contents of the page. I don't think the zoom level setting makes any difference.

Anonymous

just wondering, since it is a 3G, where is the other camera? shouldnt there be 2 cameras on this E70?

JJ

Is there any way to make the font bigger, as in the 6822? It's blooming tiny!!

GMan

Sounds to me that the "close application" is a Nokia thing because I have the same problem with my 9500. I need a back-up to my 9500 and was thinking of just getting another 9500, but they are phasing it out. What would you guys recommend between the E70 or the E61? In US, the E70 is tri-band and could be a limitation, while the E61 resembles a "crackberry." Any thoughts?

Archi

A possible solution for the memory full issue: It claims that cache cleaning could help the browser to load pages without the memory full problem. Could someone please try!?

johny

Can anyone answer to man who asked about the reduced size of the font?

Archi

Hello Dev, About the Yahoo e-mail. If I got your message right You are getting the memory full error message when loading Yahoo?!? It might be the "standard issue" experienced by others too ith other pages but it can actually be another too. If you try G-mail, it will load as the "reduced" version on the E70. I tried that in the shop. And the reduced mode worked fine. I was also interested how all the fancy Java scripts wpould work, but probably Gmail was so "clever" that it noticed the capability of the prowser and reduced the page. Could it be that Yahoo is doing some sort of reducing too? That could also mess up the browser... My guess that it is the "standard" memory full issue... Too bad that it is on the May 30 software version... About the processor data and the RM-10 thing, You are right about the processor data, but in the table I saw this data was also listed. However it could be somethinbg else...

Archi

The test phone in the shop had the May 15th software...

Archi

To KK: Hello, Which software version are you running? Can you load CNN.com with the largest "zoom out" available? This is also my major concern for me, but I asked Dev and according to him, the May 30 software can load a couple of CNN sites before having the memory problem. I wonder if you have the May 30 software? Are you using WLAN or GPRS or 3G? I tested with WLAN only in a shop and many pages worked fine but some did not. One of those was CNN...

To everyone who is waiting for the black version. I've been using the silver version for a few weeks now and have also seen the black version 'in the flesh' so to speak (for some reason Nokia shops in the UK have black demo versions on display but you can only buy in silver). In my opinion the silver version looks much, much better than the black version when comparing real life phones rather than just photos on the web. Of course this is only my opinion but I'd say try and have a look at both versions if you can before making a decision. I know a lot of people are put off the silver version because they feel the numbers on they keypad/keyboard don't offer enough contrast, I think Nokia have solved that problem with the light-sensitive backlight on this phone but maybe others disagree. Gerry: Have a look at the previous page of opinions, Dev has given a very detailed answer to your question there I think.

KK

Will there be a solution to the memory limitation when browsing the web? I often get the "Memory full. Close some applications and try again" message. Except for the Web no other applications are opened! What else is there to close?

does the e70 allow to make phone calls and keep connected to GPRS/EDGE? my treo 650 now always disconnects from the internet when receiving a call ... quite tiresome ...

Gerry

It is possible to syc it with a mac computer right? Like will ical and if it does store addresses can it be synced with the addess book on a mac? Lots of questions sorry....but i just had to get rid of my blackberry and switched to this and I just want to make sure I made the right order! Thank you

Can someone please tell me about the loudness of the speaker on E70? I'm hung up between this phone and the 3250, and the 3250 has a very loud speaker. Can E70 reach those volume levels? (of course, I'm talking about the loudspeaker.) I'll probably go for the E70, my only concerns are it's capabalities as a music phone and whether I can find the black version (since there's no way I will ever touch the ugly silver one).

To Shakeel: Hi there. I live in Lahore, Pakistan. Can u pls tell me where is this set available in Pakistan??? I am dying to get it...I have been waiting for so long but couldnt find it in Lahore. Pls pls help me out!!!!thnx

SJ

I don't know if anybody brought this up before, but I see on the Nokia USA website, that Nokia is coming out with an E70 with 850/1800/1900 band. I can't wait.

Shenaz

Hi All. I recently bought the e70 and am loving it!!! Yet there is one slight problem, I find that the 'font' is too small to read in messages etc. Is there anyone out there that can help me with this, if you know how to change it to a larger font please please let me know. Many thanks Kindest regards Shenaz [email protected]

I have brought this phone recently. Here are my reviews on the same - - Camera is average in quality with decent photos. - Video quality is excellent. One of the best in a mobile phone and has a recording upto 1 hr. - Applications take some time to load - Excellent keyboard with very easy typing - Good sound quality. I have not used e-mail, internet and other connectivity features. Regards

victorboi

can this phone make video call?

nick

Thanks DEV. All your explanations here have been very helpful. As to the camera quality, I must say that a reliable camera is still a desirable feature for me. The whole idea is to have all-in-one device, isn't it? After viewing the photos posted here in the review section, my impression is that outdoors photos are decent, but indoors and close-ups are horrid.

To Dev Thanks dear for help In Pakistan only avial in Silver colour but i want in black as will avil then me get it Thanks again for help

I think you can sync the E70 with new iSync v2.3 that comes with OS 10.47. The E70 is a series 60 phone so looks possible. However, the official Apple list does not include the E70 yet.

JW

I now have a 9300i. Is it possible to transfer the Contact and Calendar info from this phone to the E70 ?? It would be nice if this is possible ....

SHaKeeL

To Dev Thanks dear In Pakistan thats avial only in silver but i want in black as will avail in black i got this phone no doubt in that thats amazing set Agian thanks for help

Amir

Hi All, I just bought a new E70 one day ago. So far everything sound fine except for the setting of pop3/smtp email client. I am alreay using nokia 6230 configured with two email account both using pop3/smtp with no problems at all. Now i am really frustrated getting this email client on the E70 working. The configuration looks perfect for me but still i always get "time out" message when i try to connect to any of the mailboxes configured. the software version is: 1.0610.05.07 30-05-06 RM-10 Nokia E70 Did anyone faced the same problem?? Thanks, Amir

dragon

does anyone think that the n80 is better than this, and for the people who have the phone, what's the camera really like, is it as bad as the review makes out. Also, can you survive without flash

Sachin

Hi All, I would like to change my opinion first - E70 is not just a 'Good' phone, its 'Awesome'. This is my first business and smart phone and exploring something new every hour. I am typing this message on my E70. @Dev - Thanks for your vote of confidence. I formated my memory card and copied the backed up data (damn lucky I backed it up). By the way guys, if some one has E70 and wants to back up memory card including system files - it can be done without a card reader. (for those who don't know). I am still getting used to E70 qwerty keypad. So if you want more details do tell me and will answer later.

DEV

To : Sachin / 20-July Dear, dont worry about this thing. I dont know if there is any default password for Mini SD Memory card, but you can try by typing either 123, 1234 or 12345 as these are common default passwords. Anyway even if you have already deleted the all softwares from your card, no problem as all of the softwares are available from Nokia's website. Please check there. Anyway you can try Formatting card and then write all softwares/data back to it from your PC then you can surely able to work on it. If possible please format card from Phone but if phone donot work with this card try formatting from PC. Please do write to me on this board so that others can understand & avoid this situation. To : Shakeel / 19-July 1) As for Themes I got one new theme from a persons website, which is working very well. The new theme name is 'Aqua' and its free which is developed by one of Chinese person for all. Its slightly more better than Nokia's Original theme. As for other Themes I got from a website where it mentioned as its for Nokia E-61 etc.. I tried to load them in my Phone and its working in E-70 too, but since its not meant for this phone some Icons etc. are not sharp/clear. Anyway still you can have about 4 themes from this website. 2) Battery is pretty well and I am fully satisfied with it. Because looking at the Size of display and processor it should use more powers, but still battrey lasts very long. 3) As for Hang-up, not at all, except it takes more time during switching from Potrait to landscape mode of display. Also while opening App. Mgr. it takes more time depending on how many applications are inside it. 4) As for softwares, there are few but hope soon many will be available. I dont see any problems in this phone, you may buy If you want check several reviews on Internet before buy. I feel its really a Dream Phone.

David

I also find problems in the spreadsheet. 1. I can't apply any formulas/functions. They won't work! 2. I can't change the color of the font and the background. I think there are some bugs in the software. Does anyone knows how to fix them?

Sachin

Hey Dev, Need your help urgently. I bought E70 yesterday and it's really good. But I have got myself into a problem while exploring it. I put a phone lock password and set the feature for 'Lock by SMS'. When I locked the phone by sms and unlocked it again, the phone got unlocked but it is saying my memory card is locked and is asking for a password. Do you know if there is any default password? Luckily I copied all the files from my card to PC - also the hidden sys files. If I format my card will I get back all the preinstalled applications by just copying these backed up files to my card. Please reply - if required I have mentioned my Email. Thanks in Advance.

Anonymous

Has anyone got formulas in spreadsheets to work on the E70? (a) When I select a function from the function menus, nothing gets inserted. (b) When type in =3+4 the formula appears in the cell and the value,7, up in the edit box. When I pick "show formula", the formula appears in both places. What am I doing wrong?

Have anybody seen black color version in the shops? If yes, then where? It is very important for me.

DEV

To : All Does Anybody tried loading Yahoo Mail Beta on E-70, I tried loading it, but it doesnot load it, do anyone know the reason and solution for it. ? (Is it RAM memory shortage ? Or Its Browser's limitation ?). This can be a perfect mail solution if it can be loaded on E-70 browser, then you dont need to have any E-Mail software, if you can load Yahoo Mail Beta it will work like POP3 mail. Experts and Software Engg. please help.

KK

Dev, Thank you for your info on zooming with * and # buttons with the E70 closed. It works amazingly well. I had been trying with the E70 opened using the ' and # buttons.

DEV

Hi to All, Sorry buzy last few days, anyway I will try to reply for all pending questions here : 1) To : Nick / 15-July + No, E-70 cannot play WMA Music Files, Infact I tried but Nokia Software doesnot play. However there may be one of third party software which can be able to play, but you must find it and buy this software. + I dont know Camera quality N90/N70 but the one in E70 is quiet enough for your day to day need, who needs professional camera in a Mobile phone which is basically a communication device. 2) To : KK / 15-July Yes, It works If try to zoom in & out by * & # buttons when E-70 is closed.(What is "" ?) 3) To : Shakeel / 15-July There are about 11 Fields and can be more if you have 2 nos. in same catagory For eg. If you have 2 Office nos. there may be one extra field for the same. BUT editing the Field is not possible. 4) To : Archi / 16-July Noted and thanks, If you get to know about RM-10 then do post it here. (It cannot be processor because I got to know the processors details from one website and it was 32-bit RISC ARM9 @ 206 MHz) 5) To : ROM / 17-July Please tell me from where Tomtom GPS Software is available for download, then I can download it and try on my E70.

Anonymous

Been using it for the last 2 weeks and it's great. However, the orientation change over time as mentioned in the review is very annoying. The screen is also a bit small IMO as a business phone. The lack of Blackberry Connect so far is also frustrating as it was my aim for purchasing the phone in the first place. Hope Nokia will come up with BB Connect soon.

the north american version triband gsm 850 1800 1900 mhz is coming in the states soon !last weak i saw the e70 with 900 triband and the e61 was also there but now it'S NOT THERE ennymore ! go on nokia.com to check if you are living in america and have a data plan with a provider like singular that uses 850 and 1900 youre screwed if you buy the e70 european version (gsm 900 1800 1900) this is for all the consumers that payes for edge data plan or peopeles that uses the phone indoors.

To: Dev Thank You for all your efforts! This sounds calming. I have to get my hands on a phone with that software. Answering your question, I do not know what is RM-10. I think I saw something like that on a page talking about the processor of the phone, but I do not have any glue what it means... Maybe it is relevant that on which processor that operating system runs??? Thanks & Best regards! Archi

According to Gsmarena E70 review the "'" and "#" buttons can be used to zoom in and out when browsing a web page. Have anyone tried this? I find that "#" can zoom out but "'" does not seem to work. Thanks

Nick

Two questions for E70-users: 1.Can E70 play wma music files? 2.The camera - how does it perform compared to N90/N70, is it really that inferior as they state in the gsmarena review? thankz

DEV

To : Shakeel Hey, in your message posted on 12-July you had asked for whether we can set daily alarm with just one go.. I want to tell you that its possible with there are other third party softwares like Alarm Manager which can do this easily, however Nokia software doesnot have this feature in their original software. I think new third party softwares are coming day by day more in numbers and soon we will have good amount of games and else. I wonder if there is InfraRed Universal Remote Control Software already out or not for S-60 V.3 ? If anyone find then please do tell me.

DEV

To : All I tried on it and its amazing phone.... Really a good multimedia application phone besides a business phone. I tried to play Karaoke Tracks and kept it into background and then I tried to run E-Recorder (Extended Recorder - this is a third party software and can record unlimited time in various format including WAV files). While Karaoke Music tracks are playing it can record my voice into Phone alongwith with the Music tracks, finally the recorded file will be a combine of music + your own vocal.. A complete song in your own voice.. To all E-70 and S60 V.03 users you can download loads of applications (Some are free and some are demo or trial versions) from below website : Also from ; Also from ;

To Archi, My software version is: 1.0610.05.06 15-05-06 RM-10 Nokia E70 It looks like my software version is one version earlier than Dev's, although it seems he is having the same problem.

DEV

To : All Dodes anyone knows any Imaging software for Symbian S60 which can open *.TIF File application.? See most of the e-mails which we handle in business are scanned documents in *.TIF format and I need such application badly to view my attached files.

DEV

To : Archi Noted your comments and I tried exactly same method as you mentioned. At first I loaded to this very site (GSM Arena = which loads very well and it showed about 120-125KB while loading, then I zoomed it and it went Highest Zoom In upto 125%, then immediately I pressed Goto : www.cnn.com, then it started loading CNN website and about 500 KB it took to load full page of CNN website. Now I didnot found any problem or message of memory shortage. As regarding to Software Version, I did same way as you asked i.e. *#0000# and it displayed as below : 1.0610.05.07 30-05-06 RM-10 Nokia E70 Now I want to ask you that what is RM-10 ??? I can understand that first line is software version and second one is its version date. But what is RM-10 ??? Please clarify.

archi

Oe more test please Dev, which I would like to ask you: Please go to some page which you know very well and works fine. Then zoom OUT as much as possible. And then load CNN.com ... Does it work then? That is what I did in the shop the day before... Thanks and Best Regards: Archi

Hi Can anyone advise how the E70 and the Desktop software compared to the Palm Desktop. My current 6230 oses PC Suite and while this is not a PDA I do not see PC Suite beeing very useful for PDA use.

kenny

to pzpj who left no name,,you are so wrong this fone is a good seller & has proved a huge improvemebt over the 6822 to which it replaces..and and as for the 3250 it has just sold its 1 millionth unit in 4 months if you go to that site there are pointers to where that info come from but ive seen it on 3 sites,,,if you get any mobile mags (im in uk)this device is proving popular not only in buisness but as an intermediate substitute email machine with fantastic web ability..i have gone for n80 as i like symbian but photo /video orientated,,,people who love symbian but are music orientated go for 3250 or n91...The symbian range is so good now but we are experiencing a bit of battery letdown on n80 but its benefits outway the battery problem...The e70 has the best screen on market with its resolution & 16 million true colours & on my n80 you get the chance to alter the font wen browsing & at its smallest MY GOD its clear as hell even if the writing is about 1 millimeter high..If the e70 is series 60 3rd edition you may be having theme & apps difficulties as software writers rewrite our favourite apps to this new 3rd edition..This is inevitable as the screen change is from 176x208 to 416 x 388 pixel or so

Dev

To : Void Regret to say headset provided with phone is not Std. 1/4� BUT its Nokia�s proprietory headset as given with other phones.

EC

Just saw Dev's and Archi's posts and wanted to add that I have a 1GB card in the phone with plenty of space, so that can't be the problem.

EC

Great phone! I switched from a Treo 650 and am happy I did. One problem, however, is that I am occasionally having memory problems with the browser. I get a message that phone memory is full and to close other open applications and try again. However, there are no other applications open. I've tried clearing the cache, but this doesn't help. I've found that if you turn off the phone and turn it back on, the browser works fine. This is a hassle, though. Has anybody else had this problem, and is there a fix?

Dev

To : Archi I checked & browsed www.cnn.com website and it loads perfectly. however after going thru 3-4 pages in & in it shows memory full but still could work. I have 2 gb card. by the way this message I am posting thru my E-70 phone.

archi

For fairness I must note, that there might not have been a memory card in the phone in the shop. Could that effect the memory issue? Anyone experienced the out of memory problem with the browser? Could it be that it was only the lack of memory card or the old software version? Archi

archi

Well, I think the E70 is Revolution in itself. Naturally it is a result of incremental development, but as a package it is amazing. I have no doubt that it is the trend of the future: 1. Wi-fi 2. Full keyboard 3. "PC like" web browsing and office tools Integrated with 4. A great phone with PDA functionalities 5. The camera seems to be perfect for daily use. Anyone reporting on the video, playing back on a TV? (e.g.: from a laptop?) When I looked at the screen yesterday I was wondering: Is this really a TFT? Where are the dots? I could not see the thin line between the dots!!! It is an unforgetable experience. It is like a little CRT screen... :-) And when you press a webpage by minimizing it inside that tiny screen, you can still read the text! And if not, you can zoom the font size separately, so you see the screen with larger text... A main need from my side is the ssh client which is available freely: Putty and MidpSsh. With the E70 you get a Fully functional Unix terminal with a keyboard and a perfect screen. It is a dream come true for me. If the memory handling issue for the browsing is solved, I am buying one. Anyone managed to download CNN yet? Regards! Archi

Anonymous

this is a great innovation for nokia but apparently sales-wise, this phone did not perform very well, it seems that samsung was right in going the direction of slider-type phone after years of making clamp or folded type phone. nokia maybe trying to be innovative or unique but it failed with this folding type phone just like what will happen to their twister phone, the nokia 3250.

archi

I tested the E70 yesterday and I would like to ask a couple of questions: Can you please try loading the www.cnn.com -website. I noticed yesterday in a shop that some sites loaded with wi-fi but others did not, because they got the "memory full" message. The version of the software was an older one and not the newest which is (I think) 30.05.2006. (Software version: 1.0610.0507) It would be great news if someone could open CNN with the newest software! Anyone? Please try! Another question is about the quality of the video recording. I saw a demo on the net but I was not sure if it is 30fps or lower? Can you please check after recording a video in 352x288 mode what is the frame rate you get? How does it look on TV? (through a laptop connected to TV?) Is this a viable option for simple family videos? Thanks in advance! Archi

awesome thanks for the info man!

Thanks DEV. Does the headset come with a standard 1/4" jack (which lets the user use any standard headphone), or is the user pretty much stuck with proprietary Nokia headsets?

DEV

To : VOID 1) Contents of package are : PC Suite CD, Mono Headset, USB Connecting cable, Battery, charger, 64 MB Mini SD card and its adapter. Manual-Quick start guide etc.. 2) & 3) The Basic Sound quality of E-70 is very good, I dont 3250 or other phones, But this phone plays stereo and that too in loud speaker mode. The Headset that comes with Phone is Mono as I said above, However if you use other phones Stereo headphone you will love its sound quality. To : ROM It can play mpg4, 3gp, real video and flash files for video. To : Azmi Yes, this phone can play .mpg file & others as mentioned above.

DEV

To : Mahesh Hi, Yes I am from Mumbai only. Browser provided by Nokia in E-70 is very good & Full HTML type, It can open HTML Pages as same as your computer, You can check your ; Yahoo Mail, Google Mail, Rediff Mail etc... all Web Based Mails as same as you do it on PC Inernet Explorer. And these all too in Basic GPRS (Hutch charges Basic GPRS at Rs.49/Month with 5 MB Free data & 30 MMS Free). You have option to keep off for Photos and Sound and others so as to reduce data cost. As for BSE Site, this site I used to open in WAP Format to get price in my previous mobile Nokia 6610, 6820, 6822 Etc.. However this WAP Based site doesnot open in this new browser of Nokia. When I called to Nokia support center they said that their WAP Browser is version 2 which doesnot support WAP Version 1 wap-sites. By this I cannot open BSE WAP Wesite and cannot check prices of any scripts. BSE WAP = wap.bseindia.com On other hand I expected that since HTML browser of Nokia is Fully HTML it should open BSE's HTML Website easily and fully, however regretfully on home page it can just show the graph and cannot open Price/Index table as well as Tickers which are JAVA Appelets. same way it doesnot load the page of each scripts fully (Price table of script) because these are again Java Appelets. By this Its confirmed that Nokia's Browser cannot run Java Appelets, thus I regret I could not have access to BSE Script prices which I could see even in previous lesser expensive phones. I think only way is that either BSE change their Java appelets to ordinalry web page which is impossible. Or BSE change their WAP site to version 2 so that we can see their web site on this mobile phone. The other problem is that Wap based POP3 e-mail software of Java MIDP2 version (Like Sirius Mail or Movamail are not working on this phone (which I used to enjoy all POP3 mails in earlier mobiles by just Basic GPRS). I also called/sent mail to these companies to make their software updated for Symbian S60 Version 3 and they are now on their research to modify and update their softwares. Untill then we have to just wait.

SHaKeeL

Hi Can we set the alarm for daily? Just by once set?

Azmi

One grouch I had against Nokia/Symbian is that they cannot play .mpg movies unless converted to lower quality .3gp. This deters em from buying Nokia/symbian based devices although E70 looks promising. In the past have used pdaphones Treo180,270,600, SE P800, O2 mini, Ipaq 6365, Nokia 7710 and Nokia 6600. Worst phone is 7710. Could not get to synchronise with outlook. sold off cheaply.

Mahesh

To Dev Can we check mails on Rediff,Yahoo,Gmail and some sites like BSE,NSE,etc with Wap GPRS (costing Rs.99/-p.m)vis a vis Advanced GPRS (Rs.499/-)Service Provider BPL on Nokia symbian phones.Are you from Mumbai City Thanks Mahesh

A few questions for owners: 1. Can someone please list the contents of the package the phone comes in? Couldn't find it anywhere. 2. Does it come with a headset? If so, how is the quality compared to "music phones" such as the 3250? 3. How is the loudspeaker of this phone in terms of loudness and quality? Again, how does it compare to the 3250 in this aspect?

DEV

To : Mahesh Please check Review of Gsm Arena as well as other sites, If you are looking for More of Messaging device this is best Phone if you are looking for Media application its better you go for N-91. You can check price in Alfa in Mumbai and as for 2 GB card I think may be soon will be available freely other brands, I just got Kingston brand. My Homage to all those who died and injured in Serial Blast that just now took place in MUMBAI city in City western railway Trains, May their soul rest in peace.

To : SM Yes, E-70 has IM which is supplied by Nokia, also there are couple of other software of IM which are available on internet for this phone, However setting up IM is very difficult specially when you have to feed server details etc.. Do you know how to set up the Server Details ? If so you can help me to set up IM ? To : Sachin You are right, the original Nokia software has a limited recording time even in E-70 and therefore you have to use other third party softwares, there are couple of such softwares available now on net. As the days passes through, I can now see many third party softwares available for Symbian S60 Version-3 platform. I like most fascinating game = SKY FORCE (I just used its freeware demo version) However I can say the quality of graphics and sound can match any computer game. To : Tony I think you didnot tried newer versions of PC Suite, the latest version you can download from Nokia Site and see if you like it, However I can say I tried latest PC Suite and found its very easy/convinient. I think E-70 is much much better than Treo-650. You know something like IP Pass Through ? Usually we used IP Pass for our handheld or palmtops BUT E-70 does have that Bridging Networking facility by which you can use broadband internet running in your PC/Laptop to use in your Mobile Phone and this doesnot require any GPRS etc.. Isnt it amazing ??? I think even after 15 days I have not been able to use all features of it. It will take some more weeks to get used to all features and fully utilize this phone.

Hi I am looking at the E70 as an alternative to the Palmone Treo 650 but from my searches I only see the Nokia PC Suite as the desktop software. From my experience using it with my 6230 PC Suite is clunky and virtually unusable as a Desktop client for a PDa Phone. Can anyone advise whether there is an alternative to C Suite to load and sync the E70. Thanks Tony

Sachin

I am contemplating of going in for E70. All in all a really nice piece of machine. I have query which I hope will be answered by existing E70 owners. Other models like N70 and 6270 have voice recording and call recording but I read that it is time limited to 1-3 mins. For unlimited recording you have to buy the software. What is the situation in case of E70. Is unlimited recording possible on it? Thanks, Sachin

I have a question about the Instant messaging capability of the Nokia E70, Does it have AIM & Yahoo instant messaging?

In Kuala Lumpur only the silver version is available. Wonder when the black phones will be shipped here. The stores are usually unaware of the black model.

cy, was that a joke? of course it does... its a symbian smartphone

The black version of E70 is available in the Philippines for about Php25,000 equivalent to approximately USD480. The qwerty keypad hinge is quite strong and sturdy.

Hi All, Kindly if some one can confirm having a Nokia e70 black color phone OR if the person has seen it in any of the stores physically....somehow apart from some of the websites including gsarena website it is not available at shops !!!

can support real player and media player files? =p

I have the E70 and it is great. I was lucky to get one because not many stores have them yet. The style is excellent and feeling of very high quality in the hinge mechanism when you open the keyboard. It is an excellent business tool and the music player makes it 'fun' too. Great phone Nokia well done!!!

I got one from a Nokia Retail shop on the Vodafone network a couple of weeks ago, don't know if they still have stock and these shops only seem to be in the south at the moment (and none in London strangely). Have also seen them advertised as 'In Stock' on expansys.com and mobileShop, both on Vodafone and O2 I think.

I've been waiting for this phone to become available on UK networks for about two months now and none of them seem to have any idea when or if they are going to have it. Need either O2 or Vodafone to sell it as can't use Orange or T-Mobile. Has anyone got any news on its release to customers of these networks? Many thanks DaveH-W

Hi to all.. I tried to copy my Karaoke Songs into Mp3 format on Memory Card and same time the scripts of song written in *.Doc file opened. To see how it works and it worked perfectly very well. Now while Karaoke Song is running in the loud speaker mode, you can read the words from the Doc file and sing along with the song's music tracks. This is very good for Music Lover...At least I am very happy with this feature.

So far I have had the E70 for 2 days and have to say I'm not too sure about it. I think I prefer my older Nokia 6820 for it's intuitive software and simplicity for getting my emails, contacts, text messaging. In fact, I definitely prefer my 6820 in regards to software. Yes the new E70 has lots of functions and a pretty screen but I find it hard to find the function you want to use and it also takes a while to open programs and I have a 150x 1gb card installed that works very well in my canon camera. Using the wi-fi is a pain and I labor every time due to it wanting to connect via a gprs or mobile internet so you have to jump through the hoops every time to pick the option you want and it's not painless. I'm sure someone who is really knowledgeable with software and programming will be comfortable navigating around the phone but I prefer not having to do that when using my phone. One cool thing is all you need is a bluetooth GPS antenna to use your phone as a reciever and mapping software is available from TomTom & Wayfinder. The quality and feel is the same as my 6820 which means it soon get scratched up and I prefer the fold out keyboard of the 6820. The E70 is definitely bigger but you do get a much larger screen so there is a trade off, I don't mind that but i did get use to the smaller foot print. Volume is acceptable but the 6820 to me sounds louder and not as tinny as the E70. I'm still getting use to it and these are my first impressions so who knows after a while, I'm sure I'll adjust to it and won't be able to separate myself from it. I bought mine through EBay from www.phonesource-usa.com and saw that the package came from HK, China and not Las Vegas, Nevada, now I know why I paid so much for shipping. If your using this phone in English or an other European language, I would make sure to get the European Version over the Asian. Mine has lots of characters on the keyboards I will never use and the Dictionary that comes with it is also in Chinese. My mistake for not asking that question, I also notice that none of the reseller's ad's selling the phones state which version. I'm sure if you purchase your E70 through your cell service company you won't have this problem. I know this post sounds negative but again it's my first impressions and maybe I was overly optimistic about it abilities while waiting for this phone to arrive. I will post more later on after I've used the phone and become better acquainted with it and hopefully it will be more positive. Cheers, CB

Dev, I think the problem is with your card reader. I bought a 2 GB mini-SD card recently and was informed by the seller that some card readers will not read it properly.Have to try before buying the card reader for use with my PC.

Just purchased E70 on eBay for $480 from phonesource-usa (heard good things about them), shipping was expensive but overall price is still very low and will report on how I like it. About to be in Europe for 3 months travelling around and will be using the phone extensively. Cheers

sc

To: Dev et al Thanks Dev for your great reply. Videoconferencing is clearly not envisaged by Nokia on their E70. The E70 has 3 keyboards, so why not 2 cameras? Anyhow, there is a fundamental problem with videoconferencing on mobile phones in that your head has to be close to the display to see the other person and this means holding it in your hand and unacceptable hand-head relative movement. A theoretical solution is to plug the E70 USB/power into a laptop and use the laptop display for viewing the other caller from a distance. Expansys appear to have some E70s in the UK at �354 UKP but don't forget the �70 UKP of accessories you will buy (MiniSD, USB cable, headset...).: The resolving power of an average human eye is 0.1mm at 250mm ie it can distinguish two dots 0.1mm apart at 250mm distance and maximum contrast (black/white). The E70 has approx. 0.1mm pixel spacing. This means you should find yourself naturally holding the screen 250mm distance away from your eyes when reading detailed text in a small size. I would be interested if 250mm is what you lucky E70 owners are finding? For those of us with diminshing eyesight ie 45-50+ years old, this phone could be a challenge without reading glasses. But I would like to try the E70 as soon as it hits the retail outlets. Vodafone told me they were spending a month sorting the E70 out before launching it in their shops. Perhaps they are getting IM and e-mails working first? I suspect they will not be financially motivated to get Skype going. Has anyone uploaded movie content and played it? Will we be watching Desperate Housewives on the train? Is it a great experience? The biggest remaining issue appears to me to be the long power cycle duration. 45 secs is completely unacceptable and reminiscent of Microsoft Windows. It is imperative for Nokia and Symbian engineers to fix this asap, because it will be the main reason for all of us not recommending the device to friends. I could live with 15 secs (the simple Nokia 6230 phone takes 13 secs). Hibernation is a useful workaround, but the core problem should be fixed. To end on a bright note: I can see IM, e-mail, push and Skype being sorted on the E70 over the next 2-12 weeks, and then we will have an absolutely fantastic business tool (once it has powered up).

TO : SC I saw your posting, I would like to clarify your queries. + Yes, I do think so, If all types of connectivities are proven to be solid, I think Laptop will be avoided surely, you can store your important data on 2 GB Mini SD Memory card. + You are right No FM Radio and No Flash for Camera are disadvantages but can be over looked by all other advantages. (In case of Video Calling both the sides, I dont know How can I use this phone because camera is only one and its other side of main display so either you talk and show to other side holding phone reverse and then hear and see them by again holding front, seems very strange). + Battery life, I found first two charges were lasting for shorter time, But then as soon as I used it and had more charge / recharge cycles It showed improved battery life. I think battery is quiet good & lasting. + E-Mail : I am still trying but couldnot get any software for this Phone, But hope it should be available soon. + IM : Still cannot set up, Need help badly. + Power-Up : Yes this is too long (45 Sec)and time taking, But I think Nokia should have given something like HIBERNET Mode of Laptops. How do you think ? + Skype : Even I am trying if they can supply some version for 3G phone like this E-70, But sorry sofar they dont have such version, I suggest all you, that we shall request them to make for this type of phones and it will be great help for us business people. + Push E-Mail, Sorry No Idea. + For getting this phone in London / UK, I dont know, But I got my one from Dubai thru one of my friend at reasonable price, Prior to that I got mail from a supplier who can Ship this/other phones anywhere, please try to check / mail to them and you might get better price for a door delivery, But Surely I dont know their standings so please check for their rappo from market before you deal with them. Intershop Gsm [[email protected]] On 23-May he quoted to me E-70 for 380 Euro including shipping & insurance.

To: Dev, Galaxer, scoop, bd et al Many thanks for your excellent posts!!! I'm thinking of buying an E70. The advantages are many and it looks like bye-bye to my laptop when travelling, it simply will not be needed anymore. Summarising your posts so far, the clear disadvantages are: - no flash on camera - no radio - older business people may need to get reading glasses due to the screen's very high resolution And some issues under debate: - battery life (early posts thought it was poor but newer posts seem happy) - hanging (seems 50:50 as to whether it hangs regularly or not according to posts) - e-mail is expensive because it currently needs to use Advanced GPRS (but Basic GPRS e-mail s/w could be available at some point) - IM not been successfully set up yet - there might be a 45 second power-up cycle (Dev?); not good news for someone as impatient as me And some questions: - has anyone got Skype going on the E70? - has anyone got push e-mail working on the E70? (Vodafone say they will be launching a push service for up to 10 e-mail accounts in Sept) Finally, I cannot find anywhere to buy the E70 in London. I'll also buy a beer for anyone who finds a stockist in London with E70's.

Galaxer

The best smartphone I ever had. No hangs, no software problems, not network/service problems. Emailing and SMSing is extremely easy. Language problems are also farewell (I'm using German, English and Russian in my everyday communication). Additianally - a good multimedia device and internet terminal. The people who expected smth like XBOX in a handset format should take a breath and go buy the Nintendo DX. SIMPLY GREAT BUSINESS INSTRUMENT!

To All : Does Anybody knows how to set-up IM for E-70, I mean if I want to set Yahoo Messenger then what are the Yahoo server settings ? Can anyone help ? Morover I tried to connect E-70 to my PC VIA IP Pass Through (Bridge Networking) which is connected by USB to PC which is running with ADSL Broadband Internet connection, then It shows connection made Icon, But its says limited or no connectivity in Windows XP, is there any solution to this ? To mention here I was asked to download from Nokia's forum website, the drivers asked by MY PC which is RNDIS driver. After that it started showing connection made But it shows limited or no connectivity. To those who dont know IP Passthrough, You can connect E-70 to a PC / Laptop (by USB cable) with ADSL or DSL or Cable Internet running and can get same speed of Internet on your E-70. Here is difference between all other phones and E-70. I mean real good phone with all modes of connectivity. Does any other Nokia E / N series have this feature ??? Let me know too.

To : Jerry & All Other E-70 Owners SUB : Autolock of Keypad I mentioned earlier about Autolock of Keypad, actually it was Autolock of Phone. However I found that Autlock of Keypad is different issue altogether and some buddy here mentioned that how keypad to be locked & unlocked manually in two different ways. 1) By Pressing Left Top Selection Key(Blue) then * button at bottom 2) By Pressing Power button then scroll down to bottom and select lock keypad. Both above are manual way to lock keypad. Now I found that Nokia didnot supplied software by default in their phones and we have to download this software from any available supplier by ourself. One Good thing is that I found its free software ...Now you can download it FREE Software For Autolock of Keypad for all Nokia Phones with Symbian-S60 V.3 phones from below website. Also there are free trial games & other softwares so please try and enjoy.

To : Sohail Yes, It supports Mini SD of 1 GB, infact Nokia website mentioned it supports upto 2 GB also, However I have not yet purchased 1 GB or 2 GB card yet, I am going to buy the same within next week. Please see other users already using 1 GB and are very happy with its performance. To : Jerry Please inform how do you make Keypad Lock Manually, I couldnot find anywhere mentioned as manually Keypad setting. For making Keypad Autolocking with some time Gap setting please do as below : Go to Menu ==> Tools ==> Settings ==> Security ==> Phone & SIM ==> Please find 'Autolock Period' ==> Press It, then You have 2 options NONE & USER DEFINED, If you press User defined you get choice to set time in minutes. To : Faraz Your comments noted, Dear main advantage of E-70 is that its Keyboard, keep aside all the features once you use this type of full keyboard, then you will not like to use any other phone, ofcourse you shall be heavy user of Messaging/Mails. Full Keyboard with comparative smaller size of phone is best with E-70. All other features are also very much comparale with N series. By the way do you know resolution of E-70 is highest among all E seies and N series till now.

1. the phone is good if u install i gb mini sd card 2. the main advantage is that it is a good mobile which gives extra duration of battery 3. i have some problems of the mobile hanging in between when i am speaking in the phone . 4. its camera is ok not so good or bad 5.the phone is not too good as n80 , n70 etc 1. I CAN SAY THAT THE NOKIA N-SERIES IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE NOKIA e -series 1 the nokia e70 is hanging a lot 2 i suggest nokia to help me ! 3 friends i am sorry to say but the phone is troubling me 1. i hope that nokia e 60 is good atleast better than nokia e 70 2 the nokia 6270 is really good phone for these very year. 3 the only good thing about the phone is its battery NOkia should make phones of such kind which any other mobile company cannot make i will try withm this mobile for another 1 month and see that weather it is as good as any other nokia phone

i just bought the e70 phone 2 days ago and i think : 1- its a fast phone 2- features best screen resoloution 3- browsing the net is awesome 4- camera is good in both video and pics 5- very comfortable keyboard for chating on msn using wifi 6- the silver phone in reality is much better than the black phone 7- the speaker is clear and loud, the ringtones are 64 channels not 48 8- mp3 player is good using headset using 9- battery life is good, ive charged it till full and it stayed full for almost one day using it as to answer calls or capturing photos for short times main dissadvantages: 1- no flash light for camera 2- it couldve been better if the video capture supported mp4, but the cif format appears clear and nice sound quality while watching from the phone 3- mp3 players bass is not powerfull when using headset (iam using nokia 7710 headset) the phone is stable and perfect cuz its made for buissiness men. i had the choice to buy the n80 or e70 but i chose e70 as its comfortable for typing and surfing the internet or sending messages as the 2 mp camera is realy good and i dont find it a big deal to have an n80 with 3mp camera, a wifi phone should include a keyboard so the user can feel free in typing and surfing the internet. CO NOT BELIEVE ANY ONE WHO SAID ANY NEGATIVE POINTS ABOUT THIS PHONE CUZ I WAS HONEST. THE PHONE IS PERFECT SO FAR

DEV

To : Sohail : 1) Yes, It allows to make Playlist. Music is played in Stereo and sound quality is very good.(I am talking about Loudspeaker mode), ofcourse Headphone quality also same good. 2) I can say quality of MP3 playing in the scale of 1 - 10, not less than 8. (My opinion). To : Dasy : 3) Yes, the e-mail software allows you to set time to automatically download, you can keep time setting from upto your requirement. As my comments for e-mail please see below, NOKIA always make / gives their software made for Advance GPRS, But their software doesnot work for Basic GPRS (WAP Base GPRS). As you know advance GPRS expensive, and its not worth to conect to e-mail by Advance GPRS by which your data bill be higher. On other hand software like Movamail Or Sirius Mail works well with MIDP2 phones and they work on Basic GPRS, I used these on my Nokia 6820 and 6822, you can get POP3 mails by these softwares at very low cost. However these softwares doesnot install in Nokia E70 and now am asking the respective companies to upgrade their softwares for E70. To All who have E70, please download free trial / demo game METEOR from Symbian Gear . Com. Very nice colours and sound quality experience.

Thanx DEV. To DEV or any E70 owners. A few questions please. 1) Does the E70 have a built in MP3 Player that allows to create PLAYLISTS like in the Nokia N80 or Nokia N73?? 2) Out of a Scale of 1-10, how good would you say, is the sound quality for plaing MP3s through its speakerphone? Is it clear, loud, stereo, etc? Thanx alot guys!

Hi- Can anybody give a review/opinion on the E70's email software? Specifically, for POP accounts, does it intermitantly automatically check for email? I currently have the 6820 which lacks this function and it is a pet peeve of mine. Other than that, any other comments on email? Tx.

hi experts, just notice that on the spec it states E70 OS is "Symbian OS 9.1, S60 3rd edition", E60 and E61 OS is "Symbian OS 9.1, Series 60 UI" is "Symbian OS 9.1, S60 3rd edition" same as "Symbian OS 9.1, Series 60 UI"?

Further to my comments as below, I just want to request to NOKIA people, you are providing such a good device, also softwares, why dont you provide us with the basic e-mail software like Movamail or Sirius Mail, we are paying such a high price for your Phones, Why dont you supply free such software which doesnot cost even USD 5 or 10/-.

Hey Guys, You are worrying much about Silver colour, But I already said that Silver is not just silver only, They gave Greyish Dark Silver colour on Keypad (Both Closed and Opened Keypad) which may not be seen on Photos, on this the Numbers / characters engraved are dark coloured. Thus without illumination also you can see colours. Ofcourse after pressing light those becomes bright, But I am not sure of seeing difficulty in sunlight. I tried phone several hours extensively and its very much stable and doesnot hang-up. One point is that during opening PDF Files in Acrobat Reader sometime it says memory short and thus doesnot allow to zoom docment further or such actions. Anyway overall performance is very good. I can also open Doc & excel files and amazingly the Power Point presentation also opening smoothly without taking any time, it looks very beautiful to see PPT on the Phone slide by slide. Only and Only problem of this phone is that OS is Symbian V.3 which doesnot accept Java Application of even regular MIDP2 version and therefore the games and other Java softwares are to be made Phone Specific for which we have to wait for some more time till the software engineers and companies come out with the softwares for this model and OS. I guess that was this the reason Nokia delayed this phone ? Because no other 3rd party applications were available to the time. However I could just install one game Meteor and the Phones colours and sound quality makes it great experience, really phone is very good performing if right software/games are made for this phone.

Try the nokia retail shops listed here: Can't see any in London but there are a few that are close. Good luck.

I have phoned a dozen london mobile retailers in the last hour and not one has it in stock or expects it sooner than a month. I'buy a pint to anybody who can provide me with the phone number of a shop that actually has it in stock...or is the phone simply not released by nokia yet???

howz the music quality of the mobile ? i like the keypad.so someone please tell me about the quality.

Try your nearest Nokia shop. I got mine from the one in Reading last week so they should have them in stock.

I cannot understand whether this phone is available in the UK yet or not. It came out on the Vodafone website two weeks ago, I phoned in and ordered it, then 4 days later they told me that they weren't sure when it was comming out, took it off their website, and now I am in the dark with my order placed, not really knowing when I am going to get my long awaited E70!

bd

RE Backlight: Yes, the numbers seem to be illuminated fairly evenly, also on the fold-out keyboard. RE Languages: On my UK phone it has the following language options, Automatic, Engligh, Deutsch and Polski. At least that's all I could see, I guess phones in other countries will have different options? RE Stability: After 1 week I've had no crashes but I am not a heavy user and have not used web or email yet.

Anonymous

You Said:> "The backlight seems fairly bright to me" That's a frequent misunderstanding. When the backlight equals the outside brightness (which silver buttons reflect), the contrast is low and numbers are hard to read. So assuming backlight were even as bright as the sun, you would then not see anything outdoors! Black buttons, on the other hand, do NOT reflect outside light and contrast is guaranteed, even with fairly low-power (battery saving) backlight. You Said:>"BTW, the backlight comes on automatically depending on the outside light conditions..." OK, perhaps that's how they solved it. 6820/22 ALWAYS came on as soon as you pushed a button. Thanks for the info. I think I'll post photos of my 6820 and 6822 this weekend to better explain the problem. One more question: does the backlight illuminate all buttons evenly? With the 6820/22, some buttons were bright and others were dim, so some numbers were always difficult to read!

Anonymous

Dev, what about the stability of the phone. one of the problems being reported for all these new symbian devices are that the hang up frequently. did you experience any thing of the sort?

cmon, just read the spec of this phone on this gsmarena site. just 1 click away. if the site doesn't state it has a radio, it means it doesn't.

Please GSMARENA!!! Review this phone!!!

Yagami

I read a review that says that this phone have multi-language option like french, spanish and others, it's that true? Please help me, i'm interested in the spanish option language option.

bd

I've not used the 6820 or 6822 so I can't say how they compare to the E70. The backlight seems fairly bright to me and as I say so far it's done the job, of course I've not used it in every possible condition, maybe others have an opinion on this? BTW, the backlight comes on automatically depending on the outside light conditions and the amount of outside light required to trigger the backlight can be adjusted on the phone.

Anonymous

You Said:> "I've had no problems with that, whether the backlight is on or off." Are you sure? I have the 6820 and 6822, and when I am indoors, a restaurant or club, the backlight is the same brightness as the light reflecting off the silver buttons, so the contrast is poor and it's a struggle to see the numbers. I assumed the E70 silver version must have the same problem. How can it not? I also had the 6800. That had black buttons and was easy to read.

DEV

YOU ASKED : Is the E70 FAST in changing from one program to another ??? REPLY : Yes changing from one programme to another is fast. Further, I checked BATTERY life not so good, I charged it every 24 Hours while my usage for Voice calls not so much, and surfing by Net was done average basis to check mails. This may be due to Phone Display is Bigger and brighter. Once again would like say that Web Browser is exceptionally good. I wonder Why Nokia donot supply Java Based E-Mail client like 'Movamail' or 'Sirius Mail' with this type of phones, Because we can download POP3 mails with such Javabased mails where as using just BASIC GPRS. I hope Movamail & Sirius Mail will make their new version for this Symbian OS v.3 because their latest version softwares also not working in this OS. (This is major problem in this OS as even some of very latest MIDP2 Java softwares not able to install).

Anonymous

Is the Operating System on this phone the same as the one on the Nokia 6600?

bd

My overall impressions of this phone so far are excellent. The screen is unbelieveably good although anyone with bad eyesight might struggle with it as the high resolution can make some text quite small (maybe there is an option to change this?). It's my first phone with a fold-out keyboard and I absolutely love it but someone with large fingers might have trouble with it and should probably try it out first. As far as the numbers being difficult to read on the silver version, I've had no problems with that, whether the backlight is on or off. Personally I think the silver version looks much nicer than the black one. On problem with installing apps, it might be because the OS is S60 3rd Edition and as far as I know it's not backwards compatible.

Anonymous

Nobody said Silver Colour looks cheap. You cannot see the numbers when the backlight is on; that is the problem. Black is needed for contrast.

Thank you for the great mini-review Dev!

Dev

Further to my opinion / riview as below, I forgot to mention that After pressing Power Button it takes exactly 45 Seconds to load the OS onto the Phone, is this common with Symbian OS or its due to the Phone's basic memory problem.??? Those who said Silver Colour looks cheap & phone is more of plastic, I can say that Silver finish is not that Bad and front center part is of silver Grey which makes good combination and also certain parts are made of Shiny Steel.

I had used Nokia 6820 (Folding Keyboard Type)earlier for about 1.5 Years, then came Nokia 6822 (Again Folding Keyboard same Phone Size as 6820, But better display, better camera and better battery life), I am using it for about 9 months now. Both above Phones were satisfying my needs of communications, However they lacked in Memory and Camera quality as well as they didnot have Mp3 player. I just now bought E-70-1 Silver Colour, about 3 days back and tried to use it, I found that Phone is slightly bigger than what I expected it to be from Photo, Its very good in features and excellent phone (Hardware side) However Software is not user friendly or can say Software is a tragedy with this Phone, May be because I never used Symbian based Phone earlier.??? However Its very surprising to see that Phone doesnot load any of Java Based application or games which I could do it much easily in earlier phones as above. Morover the setting of Ring Tones and Message Tones etc..Other settings cannot find easy, how to make such settings.? Are such problems due to Symbain OS ??? Also the file manager doesnot able to find the files like Mp3 Tracks or other files either on Memory card or Phone Memory. Also Its XHTML Browser is not supporting some of regular WAP sites. However this same browser which is also HTML browser is excellent and I can say a good piece of work done by Nokia engineers to develop this HTML browser. Very good features some of which are not even in IE 6.00 in my PC. MP3 player can be played in loud speaker mode and sound quality is very good. Camera quality is also Ok. Can any one tell me why Java based applications are not installing in this Phone although its mentioned as this is MIDP2 phone having Java support. (earlier two phones I mentioned were MIDP1 & MIDP2 respectively). Is anyone from Nokia listening or any software engineer can help me ?

They have E70 in black on French pixmania But be careful - it has a AZERTY inner keyboard.

james

Well on different mobile merchants the e 70 generally costs more but thats becuase the n80 was released first. Anyways, both these phones are very well armed with features of high end devices the e70 provides more of a communication device considering its openning typing keypad provides more comfortable typing and input also a brilliant display! But the N80 comes with a 3mp cam and is more busniess oriented a lil down fall is the low batery life but wat they hey thats wat chargers are for

please can someone tell me if the e70 has the option of recording in mp4 format? and which is better to buy n93 or e70???

Could your retailer bud in Norway find out when the E70-2 (850MHZ)quadband will be released? I suspect the number of people waiting for this information (myself included) rivals the number waiting for info on the black version. Thanks

Oh, NO!!! Another phone where the numbers wash out when the backlight illuminates! This problem simply must be addressed. How can one get a message to Nokia engineers? Or is the marketing people that make these decisions?

Q

This message is to all of you who are waiting for a black version of this phone to appear: My retailer in Norway spoke to his contact at Nokia, who has overview over upcoming Nokia events many months ahead, all over the world. So far, a production of a black version E70 is not even planned... :o( First, Nokia manage to delay the release of this highly anticipated phone all too long. Then they decide to go for a color everybody hates... If anybody has some other news, I would be grateful to know. Thanks!

The sad thing about the black keys is that it was probably a marketing thing so all the eSeries matched that caused them to change to silver.

Has anyone actually seen a black one? I have the 6822 and cannot read the numbers when indoors; the keys should have been black and the numbers white. I was so happy when I saw the E70, now it looks they've gone for silver keys again.

I am hopefully getting one next week but I have a quick question for the new owners... Can you use predictive text when the phone is in 'candybar' mode (i.e. when you are not using the fold-out keyboard)?

Mat

Geoff you are right about the keyboard being solid. I was quite harsh in my initial review, but the keyboard is very good...maybe that where Nokia spent all the money? Do you have any idea how to make the camera silent?

Geoff

Just got mine today - it's not black like the photo, but silver like the nokia product page. It does have a bit of that plastsic feel to it, but the keyboard and everything are pretty solid. So far it's pretty awesome.

@Mat, where did you get your e70? It's strange that yours feels cheap, as the inital previews of the e70 commented on it's solid feel. Maybe they switched to a different plastic/design when they went from black keys (which I prefer) to silver..?

Overseas electronics (weclectronics.com) does NOT have it in stock, contrary to the previous post otherwise. I called them and they CLAIM they'll be getting them in on Wednesday. They do not offer price matching to be competitive with other sites. I called Mobilebee.com. They currently claim online they'll have it for $599, which is SIGNIFICANTLY lower than I've seen everywhere else, so I doubt that's true. Just like their misleading "expected in XX days" that they've been baiting us along for since like February, it's likely this will change since "their price is dependent upon the manufacturer." Also, they do not expect to provide any discounts for T-Mobile contracts like they do for other phones. Unfortunately, they also do not offer discounts for existing T-Mobile customers without contracts...which is too bad for them because I'm ready to deal!

Does E70 supports video calls?

For those who wants this phone: just a little patience, from next week will be available all over the world. My personal opinion? For a medium user, what Nokia offers price/specifications, it ain't wort it. Of course i don't have a E70, altought i wished one when the phone was announced but i'll never pay 30% plus just because is written Nokia, on him. If you are a prosper bussiness man and the brand of your phone does matter to you, is ok. Otherways...

I have a NOKIA E6822 since it was first released, two years ago. It is the same type of phone as E70, only older. I love it so much that I din't change it with any other phone. The full keyboard is excellent, also the battery lifetime was great. I am eagerly waiting the new E70 but as most of you I am starting to loose my patience... It's the only phone that I want right now but I am dissapointed in it's late release.

An E70-2 was announced along with the E70 last year and has the 850MHZ frequency. Our North American networks support both 850 and 1900 however the providers tend to use the combination in order to provide more extensive coverage and so a quad band phone would be more ideal for me. Does anyone have E70-2 availability information?

Good news for all you squabling, speculating Nokia Na-sayers out there. The E70 is now available in Finland. Just got word from my retailer he received some today...

gamponia

geoff, i could not agree with you, to an extent. yes, we're all waiting here with our cash in our fists ready to buy it before its price drops, which is good for nokia, and probably not good for us. but the doubts regarding the phones reliability, or awesomeness perhaps, caused by the fact that it hasn't been released yet should probably be eased by the fact that they delayed its release to fix the alleged problems (ergo, late, but problem free phone). i suppose it could work both ways. i also suppose that it would be difficult for my explaination to be more confusing, and i apologize. i guess what i am trying to say is that you should probably not worry that the phone is to be flawed, for they probably have fixed all the problems during this delay. but yeah, i can hardly wait.

Geoff

Well, I'm not so sure about announcing these things ahead of time hurting sales... it may just help them because we are all waiting (i've been wating for this phone since it was announced, hating my current phone but i don't want to spend money on anothre one that i know i'll just sell as soon as the e70 comes out) BUT, what does hurt them a ton is nokia saying that it will be ready in q1 and then not launching until late q2 or even q3 - that makes me think that this phone has major issue with it and now i'm having second thoughts.

The E70 and the E70-2 (850 instead of 900 MHZ)were introduced at the same time. Will they be released at the same time?

Thanks Smokey I do get your points.

singlelayer

Don't even get me started with how long we've all been waiting for this phone! It's true though that it's damaging their sales -I've wanted a new fone for around 4 months or so. I saw this and decided it's what I wanted, but if I'd've known it was gonna take this long I would have bought a handset inbetween. All I want is the god damn E70...now -not next quarter! If they can't produce, they should keep the details a closely guarded secret until they are ready to launch.

Yes, I agree. If there would be any other brand with a look-a-like mobile like the E70, I would buy it. Nokia is absolute not customer friendly with this E70. Main problem is that I realy like the E70 :( and am waiting like many other people already for a long time now...

Gus, I take your point but there afre many aspects to the E70 you have overlooked. Ie E70 is 20% lighter which is an important issue with these big phones, also E70 has higher rez screen and 16M colours vs 990 with 256K colours, E70 WIFI is I, e & g vs 990 with b. E70 has push to talk and push email which 990 does not have. In summary the 990 is 2005 technology vs E70 with 2006 technology. That is the difference between a score of 8 vs 9. However this phone is 6 months late and I think Nokia is doing themsleves a dis-service. I was going to buy a new 9300 last November but put it off thinking I could buy a E70 in early Jan and thus that is one less phone sale they did not make. I suspect manu others are in a similar position to me. I am sure that these long range and unreliable promises by phone makers damages not only thier image but also their sales. Smokey

I read about you comparing this to the P990 and I have to object to your opinion. Don't get me wrong, this is coming from a Sony Ericsson lover. I had a K750 and it was my favourite phone I ever owned, except the reception was bad because it did not have GSM 850. That is also the main flaw for the P990. Nokia is going to release a Nokia E70-2 model that will have GSM 850 so that the phone has more potential to succeed in North America. That is the biggest flaw about the P990. But the P990 has several other flaws. The keys look very squished unlike the E70. The P990 is going to be sold for $1,300CDN on Expansys and the E70 will be $750. Those are ok prices but they're not great. My point is that the E70 will probably be 3/5 the price of the P990. Also personally...I hate touchscreen. BTW....Does anyone know an EXACT release date/week for the E70? I have been waiting for this phone forever.

I was comparing two phones and I notice that when people are voting they do not do justice to certain phones when they are voting. For example: Take two business phones like the SE P990 and the Nokia E70. Looking at the performance marks, SE is voted at 8.2 and Nokia E70 at 9.0 Now taking in to consideration that both phones are not available and the voting is done purely on the manufacturers specification and write ups I can not see why both phones do not have the same marks. Although personally I would have marked the SE 990 with higher marks as the talk and stand by time is a little more that the E70. Considering the Features again SE has more features than the E70 such a radio, second camera etc, which again I would have given the P990 higher marks as any person that curries out an objective comparison. Regarding I will not comment as this is purely a matter of individual taste and appreciate the variation in marks given to each phone by different individuals. So can any one give a real vote on a phone? The answer is NO. So the voting scheme must have some real criteria when comparing phones one can see that the marks are not representative. Etc etc. Myself a Nokia customer for many years I would like very much to acquire the P990 once it become available.
