  • I love Nokia N76. Its design is very good for me. The brightness of its internal is very good, 240 x 320 pixel 2,4 inch and its 24 bit color TFT internal display. The external display is useful too, colorful, can read incoming text messages. It can give a sound when open and close its flip, i like it. The features are good too, GPRS and EDGE, both of them in class 32, UMTS support, Symbian S60 v.3, Java MIDP 2.0, etc. I would say Nokia N76 is a very good flip phone. :-)

  • had this phone for 2 years , felt so bad that it was stolen even if its glasscover was broken, I love this phone, howver downside is that the cover is not very durable but then i really love N76... especially the cam, !!!!

  • good specifications and high speed internet browsing

  • Have this phone for 4years now. Cant let go. Camera perfect. Internet good. Problem at times it hangs and have to switch it off/on. Good phone. Would love to buy another Nokia model.

  • its amazing just my choice of ph.can nokia manufacture like dis kind of ph which is sleek,broad n to b more specific terrificly beautiful ph.plis NOKIA.i got one but little less durability of cover,else amazing guys

  • its the best phone ever. im struggling with mine at the moment and i decided to go for Blackberry 9500 curve and i'm not convinced by it.

  • i have this phone.....it s great.....only night camera is bad...very bad

  • i just want it

  • i love dis fone!!!!!

  • do you want to buy my n76 nimmy

  • i lost my n76 but i loved everthing about it ,except the display glass coz it broke n i had to replace it. I wanted to buy the same fone but all shops iwent to dint have it. I bought n97 but i hate it already..:-)

  • it's my first cameraphone/smartphone. it does not hang up and virtual memory is good i can open many apps at a time! but well, battery performance is average because of a lousy bl-4b battery that simply does not make the cut

  • My 1st camera / MP3 / radio phone. Way too many features for me. After 9 months in my pocket the 'chome' finish on the flip portion is flaking off....oh well ! Still it is an AWESOME phone !

  • howz d battery life....how long does it go...without dying with full connectivity all day...

  • I miss my phone (N76). It's the best I had, durable, fun, classy, everything.... just don't expect wifi, and... it was stolen.. god, I even had it recoloured snow white and customized with swar. crstals.. tsk. too bad. I'm lookin for one again, and I coudn't find one! :O

  • hows its camera rezulution???it has just 2mp with flash...

  • this is the greatest phone in the planet. it has fashion and features, i have used it for 3 years, but the panel was damaged, and could not get any replacement.so i replaced it atlast with heavy heart

  • My N76 has been with me for two years already but i never had any problem with it. i've changed my phones many times but since i got my N76, i never had any plan of buying another model...it's just great to have this phone...classy, sexy & durable...i only wish that the white model is available in the philippines coz my sister wants to buy one!!!!

  • i loved this fone so much...i think is a very reliable fone. because i has used many times, never gives me problem as i've update every months... any fone is good as long as you look after and update it all the times will gives ur fone best service and safe... fone always needs service, update...if not update it will corrupts and damage files and it will give your fone errors all the time...that is why not all fones are working properly.

  • Nice phone but the display will damaged quickly

  • hi.i have my n76.its nice n sexy.i bought dis ph0ne 2 m0nths ago sec0nd hand but it still working properly.its fast n gud 4 gaming..but its better f it had wifi c0n.and 3.5g connectivity like d 6120c..but ds ph0ne is gud

  • It is a good phone. But the colour of the body is going very quickly. Also the display will be damaging very quickly, because of loose contact while it folding.

  • it has no wi-fi connectivity. i hope it will have.

  • I Use n76 its just a good phone the feature is best&the look is so sexy

  • Well i nvr used n76. but my freind has it i think i has an amazing look good speed in gprs. itz a great phone. isn't it?

  • its a good phone except it would be a better phone if it was with W Lan support

  • which is better n76 or 3710 fold???

  • LOl,the phone is quite fragile (the mirror/screen broke after one fall). the silver lining begins to rip after some time... however it does have good qualities; the music player allows you to organise your tracks, the volume and the sound quality is awesome!!! Taking photos... they look very good and the apps and other general stuff work properly. oh! it freezes and restarts ahg, what a turn down.

  • dis fone sucks.i bought dis phone n widin a mnth had prob wid its connectivty.aftr so many services .i got to xchnge my fone......d phone i gt frm compny....was wrst dan d 1 i had b4.it gave me soooo many probs........cz of dis fone i hav strtd hatin nokia......

  • A good phone. Appearance is satisfactory except for the fact that the glass cover in front is so fragile(I broke mine). So hard to find spare part replacements. Applications are fast!

  • This phone has a poor case, esspecially the front case. Because made from real glass, It's easy to be broken.

  • This phone is one of the best. Ive used it for 2years. wifi is the only problem..hope it has a wifi :) but 1-100 ill rate it in 9.8 .. its appearance is nice plus the whole package

  • i have been using this phone for more than one year and half ilove it so much i takes very good photos although the camera is 2 mp only its only problem for me is that it is so fragile and easly brokened

  • is this model is really good.???

  • the phone is not at all sturdy... i bought it .. and it had software problems within a month.. and moreover the battery backup is very less ! think twice before purchasing it... the looks are smart and elegant.. yet .. the software.. is not satisfactory !

  • hmmm... its my wish i wud say to buy this phone... its been a dream tht come true when about last three days i bot this phone. a 2nd hand one. but still okkay... i hv been dreaming to use it about 2 years ago. but at tht time the new one is still xpensive. so last year i bot mysef nokia 5800 xpress music. it was cool~! very good. nothing is the problem. but i still wanted to use the n76... so i bot it as my second phone. just to fill the wish... hehe. n now im having no problem xcept for the housing... already change to a new one n quite xpensive. n i hope it will last long... because i really love it.. on its own way of beauty...

  • i'm planning to buy a second hand of this phone, but it's cover is already faded, if i would change a new cover is the keypad included? or can the keypad change? thanks

I love it because its very fast to use. Opening applications is fast and quite elegant phone.

  • gr8t phone but mine wont display da lights on screen stopd working.Any1 knws wat da prob iz help plz

  • Backlight problem is possibly due to defective flexible cable, which is very common for flip-open/clamshell phones.

  • had this phone for 18months upgraded due to wanting a different type of phone, was going to give it to my bf to use becasue his phone had died, went to plug it into the charger one night and it wouldnt charge or stay charged. was a brillant phone shame it didnt last longer. only problems i really had with it was the silver paint would fall off or get easily scratched.. and the front panel cracked easy aswell. loved it would recommend it to anyone who was willing to protect it with a leather case or a form of casing to protect the silver

  • yeah just trade my n73 with a n76 its good the font could make it smaller nt like the n73 you cant and there is a usb slot in the n76 and could use any headset too and read the messsage in the small screen.. put music easier no more bluetooth only usb

  • its sooo cool jst soo sleek!!!!

  • Being an ardent lover of nokia mobiles, I opted to buy N76 model. But its features was not satisfactory. I give my real experiences on this phone. 1) Aesthetics: I purchased this model in Sept 2007. Within few months the polished surface on the front and rear of the phone started peeling off giving an ugly look. 2) Functioning: The three buttons provided in the front are too sensitive such that it operates even with a minor touch, but the phone keys are not durable and one of the key fell off (even with sparingly usage). Moreover the system is unable to handle simple files and it gets hanged very often. This happens while browsing internet or listening to music. During this time, the on/off key does not work and the system is fully inactive. We have to remove the battery and reinstall each time in order to switch-on the mobile. 3) Battery Life: Very Very Poor. Even with a very limited usage (say 5 calls per day with a duration of 3-4 minutes per call), the battery is completely drained. Therefore recharging is must atleast twice a day, if we use for long hours. 4) SMS: Messaging is not easy since the number mode does not appear. We really lose temper when we want to type numbers in the message. recently the display unit also got problems and the screen is black. But one thing I noted is that my phone has fallen from my hands on few occassions and nothing happened due to its durability. So one has to think twice before selecting this model.

  • What is the current market price of N76?

  • its too sexy

  • well have been using n76 for the pat 1.5 years and its okkie....nothn great the silver part of the fone peels off.....flap becomes loose .....and when i say that it means really loose like itll come off ne second... sound quality is pretty bad ....and pics with the flash on come out real bad!!!

  • its very sexy i m dying to purchase it

  • U r kidding aren't u? How can u even start comparing Nokia wif Motorola, especially with N76 and razor? Any1 who can appreciate class would know not to go there! So, U can keep ur razor and enjoy ur very little if any advantages of owning a Motorola. I'v owned nearly every brand of mobiles and believe you me, there are no better phones than a Nokia and not just a better phone but also the other important things like service and options to download themes and games etc all for free! Now I ask u, does ur phone or better still Does Motorola have these services? ummmm, I didnt think so!

  • excellent phn with gud speed n bright display!!! m happy wid it

  • it is great phone and looks like the funtastic and marbeles item

  • It's great design and also it's look like exclusive/limited edition phone ever ....

  • Design is the heaven nor the battery is disaster.

  • i just wanna ask how can i change its casing????is there any available case for replaced??

  • Its very nice phone with good speed easy to handle, but its battery time is v.v.v poor, nokia should re calculate its products as all new phones battery is v poor

  • how much is this in Peso?

  • well, to my opinion, so long you know how to take care of th phone, it will last long. This is the best phone I have so far.

  • Guys, does n76 battery life is good? How many days does it last? Thanks guys...

  • heyz all.......all of u are keep saying the chrom is peeling off and it's bad....in my opinion it depends on u ..means the way u r using it , not because the mobile is bad

  • this is cool

  • razr v8 is better than this forget the 3g.think about v9

  • you have to reformat your fone

  • R u kidding me? The battery lifestand is just 200hr?? No kidding, 6120c is 250hr, but my friend said n76 battery life stand is better than 6120c. Which is true??

  • i dont have nokia n76..............but i loves it.......... but only one probs dat i feel un happy is dat it dont have wlan facilities............and its sound is not up to the mark...........most thing i loves is dat its style of answering the phone............i loves to take n76 but the price make me unhappy.....

  • I don't have this mobile yet but i will in future and ihave some hesitation now because its color it peel with time

  • excellent phone if u handle it well... really good features... has almost everything in it... Its an awesome phone except its quite sensitive !!

  • it's looooooooooser phone

  • was wondering, where in the UK can you buy this phone?

  • this phone is peeling the silver thing makes it old when it peels when its new it looks good but the features are great

  • My mom currently uses this phone; it's been in service to her for a year and she's more than satisfied about its quality. The onscreen images are clear (its camera isn't at all high-quality, though good enough for a camera phone that's not at all meant to be used as a digital camera), the audio quality is great (way better than that of the N73 Music Edition), and Internet is fast enough for straight-on web browsing. The fonts are commendable as well for their clarity, thanks to the new edition of Symbian that comes with this phone. True enough, the phone is merely PAINTED, and the silvery coating does chip off to reveal the cheap-looking white material with which the phone is built; however, contrary to what most user say in here it does not do so immediately. The phone is sturdy enough for normal usage, this one I would definitely want to stress. With proper treatment, this phone lasts as long as it should, so long as it is never dropped and cared for very well. A phone that is always placed inside a soft container and never directly inside a messy bag hardly ever gets hurt, and my mom has proven just that by doing exactly as said to her phone. For that reason her N76 lives on with hardly any problems at all. I would definitely recommend this phone to people who love to appear stylish without sacrificing the functionality of their gadgets.

  • Wouldn't recommend this phone.. the silver peeled off pretty much straight away. Also it's really easy to bump the play button by accident and it'll start playing a song (embarassing). The first time I dropped it the front screen smashed.. but i kept on using it. It has finally died (after a year and a half) and I will never buy another nokia flip phone again!

  • Mine started peeling within a year of buying it but the customer service center replaced it without charge, they said they knew there was a problem and replaced it. The replacement cover is still fine after another year of use. Is there a successor to this phone? really liked using it but i dropped it and cracked the front cover mirror screen, is that replaceable?

  • Yes Im agree with others. I also use N76 but Im not fully satisfied. Its color goes off definitly and its performance is not satisfied me. Its camera is not good but its sound quality is fine.

  • Im using my N76 for 2yrs time it's so wonderful. Unfortunately I met a problem now. Anyone can help me out? My phone memory not full but my phone keep on mentioning that my memory is full. Until I deleted all my contact no n msg.. T.T But the problem still there. Anyone can help me out?

  • That's why I would avoid buying phones with chromed surfaces disguised as metal

  • reall?

  • hi i really to buy this phone. but is it really true that this only limited edition and no longer in the market???:(

  • I dont know why everyone is saying that the chrome started peeling on in a month. Ive had mine for a year and the chrome is peeling only becuase I droped my phone a couple times and peeled the chrome off when the plastic came off on top of it. I droped it after having if for about a week and it still works fine. Its the best phone that Ive used, I only use Nokia.

  • I would like to know how much last the battery of this phone...(mine not more than 2 days:|)

  • Hii everybody, i need someone 2 help me :( Am planning to buy the N76 but whenever i tell anyone, they tell me not to buy it, because the colour goes off and it is not that good. Some people told me that the newer version of the N76 is much better and the colour stays, is this true?

  • hi..all,i am dhani..i am using nokia N76' yeah...its verry best phone, i'm even use it for chating gprs, n so wonderfull,n it my pride

  • Hey Gabriel I got very happy about your comment I also want to buy the nokia N76 but i am kinda scared. So you are saying that the paint dont peel off right ? where did you buy you devise?? directly from Nokia or from one of those stores around? like amazon for exemple? could you give me some advises about this?? Thank you very much I will be waiting for a answer my email is [email protected] BTW

  • Hi am nephaz from Kenya and i would like to say that having a nokia N76 is best experience i ever had with phones so everyone should try it out.

  • The only fake Nokia down here, that I know of has a touch screen and is out of china. (note you can also get a genuine one out of china). One has been for sale on Trade Me, and sold admitting it is a fake, he unwittingly bought, be fore he knew. I have three N76 phones. All genuine One damaged I got for spares. Chrome peeling. The first one out of gemany did not last 4wks before the chrome started to come off. This phone has now started to drop calls. And will be not used again, except parts. The last one I am now using, but it has a crack on the mirror glass (external) and yes it has chrome coming off. As I understand it Nokia did replace covers under warranty, somewhere in the world. None of my phones are under any warranty claims, I am just a bit shocked that Nokia have not been that co-operative in getting these parts fo me. Nokia Careline? That is a Bloody Joke. The N76 has been a good phone and I have liked using it

  • U should really try to buy the original phone,not replicas.Then u will see that he is a great phone... the paint comes off LOL =)))i have this phone over a year now,he is perfect like in the day i got it.GO AND BUY IT FROM STORES,if u can't affored one don't try 2 pretend that u are cool when u don't have money 2 buy a soda.

  • the worst cell phone I've ever had.the colour comes off from the first month without causing it any damage!they don't replace it,only if I buy a new cover.that's why they have made it so bad?too much money for this phone.I won't buy nokia again...

  • One of the best phones I have had, I have dropped it multiple times, wet it and the only problem I have had after updating the software and having the headset plugged in is it voice dials by itself, this happened for a couple of weeks then nothing for months and it started again for a day, I have reset settings but it still happened. The paint does come off and i'm missing one key from when it got wet. I have had it for a year and would buy another, also it's a 2 hand flip.

  • Can Nokia release same slim type which has the DV cam type? Million is interested in this brand.

  • I recently got the phone. It looks great. other than that it's not really amazing. It seems to be treated like blonde with no brain. Most smart sofwares are not made for this phone except flashy theme and wallpapers. It's just not made very well. When you hold it, it doesn't feel as robust as most other Nokia phone. Anyways, It looks great! That's all I can say. I'm planning to switch to Nokia 7510 seems to look equally great but more robust

  • Bakery Look on trademe for a case, i found plenty =]??? Pardon me. I am looking to replace the phone covers/ case, not put other cover or case over the already damaged phone. Anyway I should add that Nokia have agreed to locate all parts and ship to Auckland for fitting at their Customer Care Center. I will have to pay, but I do not mind.

  • actually what da function of email for tis n76? da function not same like push mail right?as usually i go 2 my mail site via normal browsing and login.. somebody can share?..

  • yes, the paint comes off, same as almost all phones these days. however, for me the really annoying problem is that when the phone rings and i pick it up, the call disconnects as soon as my hand touches the phone. At first i thought this was just coincidence, or i had touched the wrong button, but over the year i've had it, it just keeps happening. Must be some kind of short circuit in the cover.

  • N93i

  • bolz

  • Does the N76 really have no WLAN??? why cant they have flip phones and WLAN together...i have yet to f ind the perfect phone....

  • Whats the latest firmware of n76?and it is hackable?

  • I've been looking 4 a phone in the market lately..i saw the blk phone whch is attracted,the N76,but i tested it,the battery life has been low at a few hours,.. But then i didn't buy,in my mind i hav 2 see mor handset to get the best quality i hav looking for,. And today i link at this site and i'm so bother,confuse and i don't knw?which is orignal! Becoz the N76 displayed in the markt where i've been and the n76 displayed at here,is so diffrencs!n76 in the market is black and bar phone whyl n76 at here is flip..otherwise there has a similarities as i read the opinion of others..it's so poor and narrow design,u cn't col it elegant,..n76 that i'm saying is similar to n70 but n70 s much better than that two various desgn!!!

  • Look on trademe for a case, i found plenty =]

  • Nokia N76 well I own one, but not sure I would buy another. I have had it only a few months and the chrome is looking sick, peeling badly. classy piece of junk. Not a phone I want to be seen using in public anymore. This phone has no back up here in NZ. So I cannot get a new case. I have no other problem and would like to stay with Nokia. but not if this is the standard they are working to. It is in the same class as the V series Motorola 5 out of 10. Not good for a fairly costly phone. Shame on Nokia. My Sharp gx30i was a better phone! I have complained to Nokia, but have yet to talk to anybody in New Zealand, only Malasia. They just tell me to send it back to the counrty of origin, to have it fixed. Why can I not buy a new case? I have owned 30 plus Nokias over the years, then found a clamshell by Sharp, that served me well and stayed with them until I found the N76, but looks like I may be going back to Sharp, they were very good phones all round, and generaly lasted longer than any of the Nokias. Hey I am rough on phones, but expect them to perform, Climbing trees or out in the boat. I have not had many phones that have lasted over 12mths. But if it is my fault it gets broken, I do not complain, just move on. The V3 was one of worst phones I have ever owned. dust got into this phone with-in 6weeks and the screen was already hard to see in daylight. Nokias menue and dictionery are top of the line. Battery is not that great, but this is a clamshell and does not have the space for a larger Battery, like a slide phone. Bloody shame the very poor quality case lets down the N76, ( I would of thought Nokia would of solved this by now, how hard can it be?) which otherwise seems to be a very good phone, so far When they start to look rough I get a new one. But have buried them, dropped them when clearing the trailer at the Tip, found them after dropping them and they have then been run over. broken a lot of cases when they get dropped. seen them go belly up when salt water flows over them, watched as petrol has melted the case on more than one phone. And a few I cannot account for. The N76 rocks, please Nokia make a new case that is of a standard that suits the phone.

  • piece of crap phone had it only for like a year and it black screened me yesterday. Not only that, the silver stuff all fell off

  • You could try making your own equaliser. What i did with my personal one is that i put everything on full and it was reasnobly loud.

  • I purchased this phone a year ago and i was so bummed that a couple of days ago it got water damage and all that comes up when i turn it on the screen is all blue and works normally but it still works fine lol. It really is a great phone and for those that cant be bothered geting the chrome fix try peeling it all off the phone looks real good with white.

  • The only reason that the N76's speaker is not so good is because the handset is not made for listening music on top volume but just so you the user can hear it so 1 good tip put it on top volume and then just 1 level lower that helps a lot. The silwer which is peeling off, is covered under warrenty if there is no physical damage on the handset. In other words this is an excellent phone and i will recomend it to anyone.

  • hey there i just bought an N76, i like it alot although i figured it does have problems with the loud speaker... is that normal?

  • hi N76 phone is the best!!! i got problem of my phone its N76 but i wonder how to use to send email or recieve in short to "chat" coz it says here i can chat. i wonder how to work with it,. thankx

  • That's the problem. There is not a phone with all the good features. The best phones on the market all lack something. The one has a feature which the other 1 does not have and vica versa.

  • Crystal, actually all hand phones have different ability and people will have likes and dislikes on hand phones. It common to have negative comments but I think that this hand phone is quite good. It just that the silver thing peels off easily and the loudspeaker problems. But to someone that post choose other hand phones, I forbid that. Now is comment on this N76 and not introduce other hand phones. Too much negative comments, I also forbid. According to Crystal, I think she like this hand phone a lot but due to negative comments, she is confuse and angry. Actually not all hand phones have everything and were perfect.

  • Hey Anonymous, if you don't like this phone then hate it but I forbid you to keep saying this phone. Example you like another phone and I keep putting comments like this phone is not good and ugly or something, how will you feel? How will the owner feel if you keep putting this negative comment. They will be upset so you better stop it!!!

  • As Salam Walekum Bhai i like to buy n76 wht will be the last price of it i stay in mumbai

  • mehedi hey if its loadspeaker option that you are thinking for the sounds then N76 is not advisable but for listening to music and for mp3 phone this is really good..

  • should i go for this one or k850?which is louder please help a kid.

  • Hey N76 is really gud phone,i wnt 2 sale it so if any one wants it call me at 03234206225.Its in black colour.With Box.Charger,Booklets,CD and 2GB Card!!!The price is 12 to 13 thousands!It can be lessed!!!And yes it has warranty of 10 years of KSA!!!!!

  • great phone only silver color problem..

  • Yes It does =)

  • ilike this phone but i prefer n77 than n76,n78,n70, and n73..cause n77 has tv broadcast

  • after having the firmware upgraded.. my phone will always show an error msg of Insert simcard or simcard registration failed.. it doesn't do that before..?? do you guys also experience the same thing.. version 2.0 upgrade has an ugly font.. wish i could change it, but all in all.. the phone became much faster!

  • I have my n76 now for about 11 months. Whoever complains about the price doesn't know what they're talking about. Best buy for it's price. Symbian OS rocks! I love multi-tasking. Seeing as this is a music phone with dedicated music keys, it only makes sense for the music player to always run in the background. The best feature of the n76 for me is the ablity to copy and paste text. The only bad thing about this phone is its 'loudspeaker'. The max volume is quite soft and the equalizer is useless! Have anyone heard the max volume of a nokia 6234? Twice as loud as that of a n76! Does anyone perhaps know of a way to tune the loudspeaker? I know that it's possible on older samsungs. If u pushed in *#8999*8378# it opened up a menu to check software versions, test vibration and tune the loudspeaker to be twice as loud as it was originally.

  • thats not true! i have been using this phone for about 8 months... but the battery lenght is for more than 3 days!! but i always use to here song all day long!! call lenght is so song!! may be you have bought a fake one!

  • ya thats how it is right! i also was so concerned earlier...

  • yes it is

  • hey.... am plannin to buy this phone.. but i need to be sure if it has a self potrait option?

  • i love this fone too much.and this is my first nokia.i will use it for long time.its awsome to me..

  • yeah, the chrome part on the front of the phone peels off easily.

  • I want to bye n76 but i am afraid that most of people told that the phone is very bad and the color of the cover gone quickly

  • @nano you can install jbaktaskman, if your music player still opens, you can close it with jbaktaskman.

  • my friend....the silver things are peeling on my phone

  • n76 is really a brilliant smart phone with all the software support and all the things one need it. whoever are saying that its not a good phone might not be having knowledge about phones. and silver coating will not peel off. i am using this cell from 1 half an year. i am also having n95 8gb but n76 is best........

  • I want the phone, but it costs wayyy too much.

  • this is seriously the worst phone i've ever bought! it peels, it's slow, it's battery is terrible, it's software os retarded! dont even think of buying it!!

  • Hi guys! I've bought a N76 yesterday and I 've realised that I can not close the music player application inside.There is no "exit" title in the options menu on my phone.this is the way how it works or is it a problem? thx

  • just awsome phone...i love n76...thanks nokia...edege class 32 superb

  • very good flip phone and has just about everything that is needed in a phone. very custom able as well can change the open and close sound to anything you want.

  • Really nice n sleek.Love d phone so much.It's strong.

  • tO michaela.. hEy girl n76 ur pHone?? can i ask some question?? ask ko lng if ok ba tlga n76?? dami nagsasabi hndi dw mganda at natatanggal daw ung kulay.?? true ba??

  • hi...i have N76 for exactly one year , and it's such a great product; it looks as i bought it and it's working perfectly, the battery ( longs until 7 days - unless i don't listen music or play games ), and the softwear. No problem with it...i think i will not change it in the next 2 years.

  • I have been using the phone for 9 monthes, it is not quality and the silver part is getting peeled and the battery doesn't live long.

  • best

  • ha supreb phone means is n 76 sweet

  • i got the phone weekz ago....it aint all that bad bt it aint livin up 2 da Xpectations

  • The phone is not quality

  • I agree, nokia N76 is quite a good phone.it only had a less quality in a material. but the software inside are a high class phone software.btw, Ahmed did you really be able to speak english?

  • is it true.. N76 is nOt gOod?? i plan to buy n76 because i like the style and i love flip top phones.. So please.. help me naman to tHink??

  • the cover very bad after a few days used

  • Actually first time i love it but i discovered the truth after not long time, i think it is not good cell phone and i wonder why nokia manufacture like this phone that colour of the cover is rapidly change and upper part easily broken and have a bad software

  • hai nona.dun ever buy n76 bcoz it is a useless phone.its oni 1 year old but giving me a lot of problems.my bro is using n70.i think n70 is better

  • No, N76 is The best one have ever made by Nokia that is my opinin just like you, you be not like a phone but you dont have right to say to all pepole that it is not good

  • I agree with you. Nokia needs start putting quality material in their phones.I remember N73 is actually made of cheap plastic. I think Nokia should stick to BAR phones. They also need to learn from Samsung how to make a good SLIDER. And maybe learns something from Motorola Razr2 V8/V9 on how to put on quality metal instead of cheap plastics they use on most N Series. Nokia should also cut down on the number phones they announced.They are the only company who release 2 - 3 version of the same phone.Not to metion reuse names (6600 Slide/Fold)

  • pleas ppl help me i am about 2 buy n76 but am a bit hesitate betwen it and n70 wot can i do ?? i like both of them but i wanna the best performance n' wot's the best n70 or n76 ?

  • The phone is great except for the peeling, it turned white within a month, where can I get the cover for it, I luv it but its not goona last for long.

  • Nokia N76 is the worst phone Nokia has ever made so far trust me guys nokia does'nt know at all how to create flip phones at all. i hav N76 and the problem is the metal on surroundings is gettin white.they are using the poor material for it. plus the sounds is also very low if u listen the music camera is alrite its better to take a bar phone or slider wid good features like wi-fi,3G,HSPDA,Bluetooth etc.

  • You could possibly have some type of liquid damage on your device. I am a district Service Manager for a cell phone carrier and when customer's come in with issues like more than half the time it's liquid damage....

  • thanks for ypur reply too.I just liked the phones in this design.but a bit have the best qualities. how is the w980 (SONYERICSSON)

  • thanks for your replies ,at first i liked the phone but after reading alot opinions i changed my idea because i want such a best phone in all fetures . after the design the camera and the battery is important for me but certenly the price in this level is much better. but i hve intrested in sonyericsson too which brand do you prefer .

  • This Phone is the best it was my secondary pc the speed is excelent no complains at all

  • I love this phone!! It looks very cool and stylish,and function well too!! Definitely worth buying it..=)

  • which one is best in camera only? n76-n81-5700-i450

  • The best ph0ne ever w0uld be the n0kia n96, it features all you need!

  • dont buy this phone coz its silver color part will fade out in 6 months.. and itsa hard to find a casing for this crap!!

  • I would like to give due credit to nokia n76. I am sincerely very happy with the phone speed. It's very fast! Operations are executed in an instant. Not even th n95 is that good in terms of speed. Even if I have so many files stored in my phone it isn't slow by any means. Also, wen my friends borrow my phone. They go like "wow it's really fast". they are amazed because they are not used to nseries being the fast one. Very good phone. And audio quality kicks butt!

  • I'm using n76 now. In the review, it says 26mb only of phone memory. That's an error. When I go to memory details. This is what the indicator shows me. Memory in use- 9759 kb (that's roughly 9.7mb) free memory- 28mb see? that's a total 37 mb of phone memory.

  • HI. whats the exact phone memory of this phone??????????

  • estefanie: yeah it peels.. but when it has peeled you can easily replace the covers, the class A ones do not peel quickly, I'm not saying they are better looking, they just don't peel quickly. Of course I'd help you out, What are your priorities in cellphone use?

  • well, ive been using this phone for a month now..and its a great phone..ive got many nice comments bout this phone and i just love it..has a very great stylish appearance(mine is red) even though its prone from fingerprints..if this phone only has wifi and better camera..the sound quality is the best, but not that loud like w550i(which was my previous phone)

  • bachcha i think you dont have ever experienced walkman music quality.w980 not only have a loud volume but a vry clear sound..if you have ever listen music on headphones like hpm 77 you will be lost in only music...

  • I like to buy one but ,i heard about pealing. i like the design of phone .but coud you help me to find the best phone

  • I have put a 4gb card and its working fine- 3500 mb used memory. No lag and no hanging

  • of all the phones I've listened music to. and that includes n81 and n91.. I think Ill go with n76... i liked the sound quality better

  • This is a very big phone . Is good , but you can find 6290 with the same aplication and more best desing . This phone is 2 big .

  • Can this phone support 4gb micro sd. Has anybody tried

  • Why dont you just buy a iPod?

  • what kind of acting up? mine is acting up too.. Say when you press the left selection key the multimedia menu opens up.. and many more as if the functions of the keys were swapped and mixed and matched... It's kinda irritating when that happens...When that happens I just press down the numbers and sliede the whole keypad plate up and down and left and right. Then it starts working ok again.. But that's not a permanent solution, since the keypad will start acting up whenever... How bout u?

  • keypads now acting up...! huhuhuhu!

  • you're comparing the sound quality of n76 to a sony walkman? don't you know that n81 has far better sound quality than any walkman phone? and don't you know that n91 is better in sound quality tha n81. so the difference in sound quality between n91 and all walkman phones is so huge, n91 is miles ahead than any other phones when it comes to sound quality. the only music players that can challenge n91's sound quality are samsung innov8, and creative zen mp3 players! you should bow to the king of music phones-the almighty nokia n91! you're n76 is just a slave of n91.

  • n91 has so much better sound quality than n76.

  • Please don't change your cover coz your guarantee can be broke.

  • The chrome paint on mine peeled, I took it back to Nokia and they completley re-did the phone and acknowledgd the problem. They did say there was a problem and had a kit of better quality to replace it.

  • best music quality sound

  • Hey btw, anyone knows a way to replace the cover or re-coat this?

  • The phone's functionality is quite impressive for it's price, but the skin (colour) peels. My jet-black 4n's silver area has completely peeled off, and its now black and white. I haven't had any probs with the phone. I've been using it since 2007 May.

  • I have the black n76.. using it for quite some time now.. The color doesn't peel off on mine.. Uhm, the camera isn't impressive though.. I'm using it as a replacement for my stolen n73.. planning to get n82 soon. About n76.. music through loudspeakers has really very good sound quality but it isn't loud. But this one you gotta believe me.. Through the 3.5 mm jack the sound quality of n76 is the best! it's even better than n81 or n91. The sound quality offers really sonic music experience if you plug in a good set of earphones. The sound quality kick butt! better than n81 or n91. I swear, it has the best sound quality on a nokia mobile phone. It could match the sony walkman.

  • Hi, I got my N76 in July 2007 and I'm so happy with it. It's sturdy, classy and its features are so useful, thanks NOKIA. But I heard it's been phased out in the Philippines and that's sad because if I were to buy another phone, it's gotta be N76 again, only this time it'd be red (mine is black). I wish NOKIA N76 is here to stay. (kinda obsessed? no, just happy with N76)

  • I bought N76 one year ago,the side silver coated came.but in the system everything is ok.The battery BL4B suddenly develops problem now.I need to charge in every 6 six hours.Please suggest why is this. Tai Riba Itanagar.

  • hey... i would like to buy this phone but i heard it is not very good,,,its colour peals and something else,,,is it true...???what are n76 positive sides? jelena,serbia

  • Nice phone, but the colour peels off and so reduces its aesthetic value.

  • Hi i have nokia N76. it s nice phone, easy to operate, stylish in looking, its amaizing. its good 4 girls.

  • I just bought N76 (White) from Riyadh n all i can say it's awesome not only from design point of view but each n every of it's function is very easy to operate. It's mind blowing. Just go n get it this much i can say Sujay kumar Delhi/Riyadh India/KSA

  • Perfekt phone 4 girls..colour and functions...evrything is ok!I like it...i ll try it and i ll love it:)))

  • I have bought a nokia n76 but while I use the I experiance my finger skin tearing away

  • well i this phone has everything: 3G network, Edge, Cool Music player, 369 Mhz CPU. And the software if you don't have it installed, you can download an install. As I'm a fan of Motorola v3, when I first time saw the phone I liked it, then when I came to know the features, I bought the phone. But after starting to use it I become hopeless on nokia. This phone is built really cheap quality. Peeling off the color is very common, mine looks like a cheap Chinese phone. The other problem is keypad, when navigational keys some time the clear or ok button gets pressed. 369 Mhz CPU but no speed, during navigating through any list if up or down pressed too quickly it kicks out from the application and bring it self on desktop. I never used any phone this slow. I thought these are software problem. Flashed couple time to update new softwares but nothing solves this. I don't know why a phone that has so many functionalities but the basics are not its place.

  • just say can we replace housing of n76 or not

  • just say can we replace housing of n76 or not

  • its a good phone, advice to keep the chrome.. have it gmasked.. so the chrome wll not peel. thats the best solution if u really want the phone, or try nokia 7390 i think thats better.. hahahah!

  • Cn we change the housing of n76 ? please anyone can tell me this please

  • If you care well for your phone the chrome won't peel off and the colour won't fade. you MUST place it in a case because you will have troubles.

  • its an ok phone for me..kidz if you want to buy this phone try to have metal crystaline casing with it coz it will really wear off and don't expect too much from its camera.. music player is really nice...just wish it had a nicer or cooler volume control key...

  • Hey everyone!! I wish to have this phone but can I know wat the main problem for the phone?? Izit a good choice for picking this phone??

  • i think you should just try another software then.there are many available

  • is the phones feature really bad? bec. my friend says that the metal casing peels off and the color fades, thanks hope for your reply!

  • oops.wrong link. i found the software converter download earlier but cant seem to find it now-.- anyway i have problems with the map download too

  • tx,is this the correct link to download the software? i have problem downloading it,whenever i click on the download button for n76,nothing happens

  • yes, u have to install in ur pc a software that converts mpeg to 3gp or mp4 formats (nokia pc suite cd). just connect ur fon to the computer and copy it into ur memory card and browse it using ur video player.

  • this phone its picture quality is extremly good,love the phone plus it has a mirror for those female who want to makeup themselfs.it is a nice phone to have but has its disadvantages when you store alot of information it freezes,switches off automatically and the battery life hate it.im on my second battery i had the phone for about 7mnths now i just cant let it go it grows on you nokia is like vodacom you know its a shit network sometimes but you cant let it go.same as this phone

  • OK phone,battery ok,screen is extra.colours extra... If someone don't like this phone,better buy N95... :-) I have both phones,and N95 is...something best...

  • Want to buy ths phone but can u guys tell me hows the battery perfomance pls...(in terms of standby and talk time)...thx

  • i got this phone yesterday! i love it coz ive waited for this for a long time, but now that i own one i can notice its poor features, honestly the camera isnt good, the keypad is hard to use. the gallery is a mess.. chrome peels and cannot access everything on the smaller screen. but then, coz ive waited for this i gotta love it :)

  • d phne really suffers on battery backup switches off after 6hours of music playback and pathetic plastics used in d pannels it only looks sexy and glamourous for 1st 1week and then d true beauty reveals

  • mungai u got the mocca black?? so u suggest i shuld get one since it peels off?? i thought the mocca black didn peel...u know about the mocca black right?? its not the usual black n silver its full black...no silver in it....

  • This phone is an excellent phone(exc. chrome peeling problem). It can support up to MicroSDHC 8GB and it won't become lag.

  • summarise.. pros: sleek llooking, striking , appealing, stylish, in short fashionable... nice mp3 player, perfect headset jack , nice sound quality , nice display... cons: metal paint wears off..mine is already white, bad camera(it sucks)..only gud at day time..keypads will not sometimes light up when you need them to.. if your on for style and music! go ahead buy this phone.. but for camera..you'll curse it..

  • Very fast processor - menu comes up with really quick and tomtom 6 runs beautifully on it...Top fone...only prob is its difficult to open the clam shell with one hand....arggghhh...

  • Make sure you buy a crystal case guys..it protects the fone....had mine for a year and hasnt peeled..crystal case provides ace protection to the casing

  • Yes it does,like the one I have, took like two month to peelup

  • I have the white version of this phone, it's the best color, the most unique and rare among the rest of the colors and i'm loving it, except the camera it's so outdated, here's some pictures of the white N76:

  • that is verry think ,i like n76 ,it verry pro

  • i love n76 very much

  • if u read it does say compatibe with up 2 2gb only

  • This shape is slim, I like it very much, But, what's a pity...because no HSDPA and WLAN

  • I like this phone very much.I like its look.I bought it for 240euros.

  • of course, all n series (except n72) hav front cameras, n video conferencing is pretty good, keeping in mind you are using a mobile phone, but no wifi, but i love this one u sure will once you buy this

  • i currently have this phone and i must say, it isnt very good. Stanby time is approx 2-3days

  • HI,can i know if i can make vidio call with these mobil

  • im not that really huge fan of Nokia but i've fallen in love instantly with this phone, not with the design, but the audio output-- Man! this phone surely beats my old Motorola ROKR and SEZ710 to the ground. However, i do find that N76 is the most fragile phone i've ever had. I accidentally dropped it once and it went totally dead, and i had about 2 weeks to get it repaired. The design is cool, but i do have experienced some disappointments on the flip, Motorola is still the best in flip phones. So for you audio freak out there, this phone can be the one for you, but BEWARE of the fragile body

  • how much memory does it have?

  • no comment ....that mob is too good...i like it a lot

  • this phone is actually beatiful...i just want to ask if a microSD 4GB is compatible to this phone...

  • i real like this phone its so uniques and its ment for ladies ohh ! i wish i could have mine like this but i ll and very soon the colour as well its so cool!

  • is the pic quality of this phone similar to n81 or betta?

  • replying to inesssa:Yes there is

  • can someone please tells me .. if the camera of the mob is nice and can someone tell me if this mob is upto 4 GB and is there a voice caller when somebody calles?? thank u

  • sllek ,gud look but looks like motorola ....it lacks wi fi w

  • Well...i bought this mobile last October... it's just great one ... maybe u drop it much so u think that it's not good...

  • well it is because u didn't take much care of the phone, i bought this the day it released, no problems till now.

  • one of the worst phone ever made by nokia.

  • good day, i bought this phone last OCTOBER and since day 1 i havn't had any good news about this phone. it freezes up, the paint as evryone says comes off,volume control button broke within the first 2monthes and its just not a good phone.

  • D0es any0ne tried to use 4gb On ths n76?

  • Hi...I'm looking into buying this phone for my mom, does anybody know what languages come on the phone?

  • do n76 have wifi upgrade like n73 if you upgrade its firmwire

  • The phone is pleasing to the eye and it's very user-friendly. The internet browser is fast and the mouse-feature is very useful. The musicplayer holds many features and has a very good sound quality. A big plus is that you can use your own headphones without the need of an 3.5mm audioadapter. However, the phone gets very easily "soiled" with fingerprints and the batterylife is average.

  • Hi all I work in a phone store In Australalia and i know that nokie will fix any paint that has peeled off aslong as they can tell it was not peeled off by your self. I know that is what they are doing in Australia, I'm not sure about the rest of the world. But speaking as a custoemr now this is one of the best phones I have ever had

  • I have that problem too with the paint chipping. Lucky I work in a phone store in AUS. Nokia will fix the paint under warranty because they are chipping faster than what is considered normel wear and tear

  • To Inessa: Yes you have the option to have the fone say the caller's name when you get a call. I have been using this fone exactly a year now (got it last summer) and I have to say it's a good fone with its ups and downs. Pros: -like other Nseries I really like the lifeblog which with my laptop's bluetooth I can put up pics online really quick. -Music on this fone is really nice too, especially you are able to manage the music player with the fone closed. And also it has a jack for you to listen your music with your own earfones. -the mirror, when the outside screen is not on its a mirror. I can't remember how many times girl ask me for my fone to use the mirror =) Cons: -like others have said, this fone despite it has a 'classy' look, with close inspection its kinda look like its made with cheap plastic/material. The silver 'chrome' wears off over time and you can see the white basing underneath. And it can wear off with just putting in the pocket with keys/coins. Over the course of the year I have dropped my the fone numerous (like when getting off the car), and although its still working, the casing can easily fall apart at times and you can see how the shell is just a snap on. -Camera, it's only 2 mega pixels and no auto focus, BUT, I have great success taking pictures when using the 2 second timer which achieves the same effect. Or you just need a steady hand. Overall this is a really good fone I will recommend for light-medium usage users and a great gift for a girl friend(black for guys, red for girls or other way?). Mirror is very useful and the overal look of the fone is just an eye candy.

  • It depends in what you needed in a phone this phone is good in performing with music.But in camera and in web just satisfactory.If you want a cheaper camera phone here is Sony's k800 and in the internet phone department we got the e51.I'm planning to buy an n82 overall is excellent except with the poor battery life.

  • um hey guysss, please tell me if this phone is gooood? what phone do you recomend?

  • can some1 tell me all the virus that may occur for all nseries.. im planning to buy 1 of nseries.. and pls tell which among the n series is virus free phone.. if not the least virus free..thanks

  • The n76 is'nt good with the internet that is the disadvantage,it gets hot and it really drains the battery........... it lasted about 2 hours with browsing....... but with music its great....

  • this phone looks great at the first time, but after i use this phone around 3 month, its peeling like hell. my poor n76 :(

  • it sure does....sounds hysterical though

  • Can this phone hold more than 2gb?

  • Guys, whoever has this phone. When the phone rings - does it have a voice option aanouncing the caller's name as in E65? was very helpful as u don't have to look at the screen when the phone rings. thanks.

  • The battey is just average with the fold open but with the fold closed it's great...

  • Hey guys, its nice to hear that its a gr8 handset..just a last question..howz the battery life of this handset..i listen to music everyday for almost an hours..

  • hey guys i got this phone today (in black) and it's great the music's nice and loud and even better when headphones in :) there isn't any peeling as yet but i've heard it does but i dont really care and it's prone to fingermarks but again i don't care i've got a 1gb card in and it runs fine hope this helps if not gee me a shout [email protected] David x.

  • The n76 is good with a 2gb card no slow downs,sound quality is good on headset average on speakers....

  • hi....any peeling happening on N76 mocha? anyone experiences?

  • Could you also tell me if a 2 GB memory would work fine in this handset or the performace would be come slow..howz the music on this handset on the headset & the handset speakers..is it as loud as the N73..

  • Hi guys, I am thinking of buying this handset..just bwanted to know is it worth going for this handset & how is the batter life as i travel for 2-3 hrs daily & listen to music the entire time..Pls advise me about the batter life..

  • i really like this phone it has a nice design havent bought it yet! does it really peal??? if it does which phone do u advice me to buy??????

  • i think its agood mobil but its peeling so fast but samsung and motorola dont peeling like that i dont advise any one to buy this phone i hope nokia make the same phone but more stronger

  • Maybe Zack is a rich guy here... I think you never take good care of your things,so if you don't want too take care of it just butt off!!!! I'm just telling the guys how to solve the chrome peeling..... unlike Zack who just goes in saying oooohhhhhh!!!! the chrome peels off it's trash!!!! If you don't the tip butt off but if you like your phone then take care of it.... It's like your just wasting money zack......... If I we're you stop minding other peoples business..... I do understand you hate this phone but you have to take second chances...... It's your choice.

  • yo what is this guys shouldwe take care of the phone to prevent the peeling of the pannel how stupid is that. is it a baby or what we r paying for phones so that they help us in return for our daily life not to take care of them. one more thing the phones battery backup is dead poor

  • My experiment is a success no scratch no peeling and it looks brand new..... so if I were you I would like to say that this phone is deserving if you take good care of it..... I think I wrote a report about the tips of how about taking care of this phone.... so try it out... Mine still looks brand new planning to try out the e51

  • n76 black colour is good but the silver touch in every colour is not strong .it removes easily.and the sound is also slow.

  • Hello, guys. I was ready to buy this phone(love the way it looks) untill I read you're comments...So you wouldn't advice someone to buy it? Thanx

  • yup, the keypads are also black..

  • My experiment is a success no scratch no peeling and it looks brand new..... so if I were you I would like to say that this phone is deserving if you take good care of it..... I think I wrote a report about the tips of how about taking care of this phone.... so try it out...

  • I have n76 it's cool but if you buy it maybe in one month the red colour becomes black and the silver colour becomes white.. and now my screen when i open my phone get purple and i have to reopen it many times.

  • it only looks good and the colour peels of i only had it for 2months i miss it

  • to Mery samsung is the best mobiles in the world .. buy samsung and u will see the difference

  • So the mocha black version is pure black huh?! What about the keypads is it black too? Oh yeah.... The n76 does'nt have any microsoft office unlike the 6120 but you can still install it....

  • it is really ggood model but company has stoped its production in blak color which is very bad

  • There is a mocha black of n76.. actually I have one.. The chrome/silver was replaced by black...

  • how come when i checked the sample pictures took by n76 in the review, it was really good, but mines ugly, it has green lines. :(

  • does the n76 also have quickoffice like the 6120 classic?

  • mocha black? wats dat? does that mean that theres no silver in the cover outside d fone?

  • Ellis tiu Here uh just asking... Is there really a mocha black version... If so please do inform me.I would like to replace the housing.

  • to vlow jayver the 6120 was a succesful hit due to the compact size of an s60 mobile phone this phone was my favorite of all s60 mobile phones(compared to 6110 and n76) the 6110 however is a gps device rolled with a cell phone and a digicam.But due to it's design it looks like a rich and a promising phone. However the last phone the n76 has the most beautiful and enrichful design and the phone with the most highest feature due to its cover display.However has a bad name due to it's chrome peeling problem.However if you take care of this problem then it will be solved. Actually these phones express who you really are... for example 6120-for people who liked it simple but needs a smart phone. 6110-for people who is always on the go.Looks rich and promising n76-These phone is for people who takes fashion for an answer. So its up to you currently it's the n76 that im using but if I we're you 6120 is the right choice. But both the n76 and the 6120 moves at the same speed.

  • i just got my new n76 a few months ago and i was amazed with the unique and elegant style and feature, but within that same month i was so shocked that the keypads were peeling as well as the silver color of the phone,the fact that am not using it most of the time makes it worst. i think it does not guarantee for long used purposes.

  • i just got my Nokia N76 Mocha all black edition so no more chrone peeling to worry! with all the high end features with it, i guess i have the best!!!

  • its very nice...i think i will ask my b.f to get two n76 for both of us...it really elegant and smart..wow i love it

  • to n76,the n70 was designed for photos while the n76 for music. to vlow jaVer the n76 moves as Fast as thE 6120 but n76 with the cover display and a bigger screen

  • uh the 6110,6120 and the n76 three similar features. 6110-it maybe the least of my favorite,but its still good,it really looks good because of the slide form factor(looks rich and boastful) 6120~it's one of my favorites its cheap its cute and its affordable (for simple yet humble) n76-my current phone the mirrored cover display make it looks good,the slim flip phone makes it really sexy(for the sexy and the naughty) there it depends in your personality

  • why the quality of the camera is so sad, thought its the same as n70 quality but n70 photos is much more better

  • to ellis.. ,.oh gosh ellis!!thanks for your active reply on my question..! :) ,.may i ask 1 question? ,.which is great,the n76,6120 classic or 6110 navigator?..because all of them has a similar features... ,.n76-very "sosyal" look. ,.6120 clas.-has a very fast interface/responds. ,.6110 nav.-graet in gps(maps). ,.but which is better?....thanx in advance! :)

  • To vlow jayver The 6120 was already tested and man it works great....... but I'm so excited about the 6210... It's stylish,cute and hey a 3.2 MP camera... These phone is equip with s60(which I love) but.... -6120 has a more cheaper and affordable price -6210 according to it's features might be more expensive -both has a 16 million color screen QVGA -6120 has a 2 inch screen (But cute) -6210 has a bigger screen 2.4 inches -6120 is used for people who wants a monoblock design and for just normal people and who wants to enjoy the s60 but does'nt afford the N series phones or the more expensive ones. -6210 is used for people who likes a slide phone but likes traveling around. -6120 has a 2.0 MP camera but it shoots great in nice lighting conditions -6210 has a 3.2 MP camera though not tested it still looks good (I think) So this report might help you but if you are a normal person but can't afford an expensive one go for 6120 but if you can afford this but who likes travelling around go for 6210.

  • To ney The experiments I did was positive for ,a month it still looks brand new(except for my fingerprints).But some helpful tips 'considering the peeling' on how using your n76:D 1.Don't use your fingernails to flip it open use your fingers not nails 2.Always find a pouch... In case you dropped it.... 3.Hello wrist band..... For more security before someone steals you're precious phone... and for dropping 4.NEVER EVER USE A CRYSTAL INCASE those sharp edges might scratch the chrome 5.Buy a screen protector... Before anyone scratches the beautiful mirror or your screen 6.STILL DONT EVER USE YOUR NAILS ,JUST YOUR FINGERS 7.always wipe it with a nice cloth (don't use wet cloth) 8.When flipping it closed try to aid it with your hands. 9.Don't hold it if you're hand is sweaty or if your hand is wet There that's what I did with the n76 and still it looks brand new.Hope these tips will help you.Gonna sell it for a month or so...HAHAHA!!!!!!!!

  • They both have good bass and good clarity but the 5700 produces a more louder bass but the clarity is'nt (WHOAH!!!! It's so clear) well it's clear for the default equalizer while in full boost it's not, to be honest I do like the 5700's speakers far better than n76's if you know how to set your equalizer.But if you listen more using your earphones then it's the n76

  • To XM5700 the n76 speakers has a bass speaker similar to the 5700 'but' (really)the 5700 has a more powerful speaker but put the equaliser in full boost then the soundquality goes bad.. but in the n76 has a weaker speaker but it works great in my bedroom.. and in the bathroom.if the equalizer is set in full boost yet it sounds good.these two fones has good ups and downs.what i like in the 5700 is it has 3d ringtones unlike the n76,but in earfones i like the n76 just plugin those jbl headFones then you'll be in music heaven. But hey as long you love listening to the speakers well go for the 5700.But in headset compatibility the n76 is the right choice.Both can be packed with 2GB.But if I we're you I would choose the n76 because of the cover display and more music functionalility considering the media key and the volume keys as scrolling keys for the cover display which is good and the display is used as a viewfinder.My n76 is about a month old which is good the experiment with the chrome peeling is still positive looks brand new except for the fingerprints though.The 5700 in the other hand has some problem it's the twisting thing don't try to play with it or you'll break it but it is still considered durable in my terms,HAHA but the joystick is'nt that comfortable to use (I use my nails to scroll it up rather than my fingers)But it does have a more powerful speaker but only 2.5mm jack.(Why did nokia do that after calling it music phone?!)But to be honest they should put all the future Xpress music with 3.5mm jack rather than the 2.5mm. To make it short here are the results (- means negative and + means positive) 5700 -2.5mm jack -why twist if you can make it like 5300 dedicated keys design -music player is'nt that unique -Uh my nail just broke becoz of the joy stick +hey it's also a smart phone +Look it has a qvga 16 million colour screen and it's 2.2 inches +durable +2mp with flash for a music phone wow that's great for starters +OH MY GOD THE KEYPAD IS SO COMFORTABLE n76 -STUPID flat keypad I send it to my crush rather than to my friend -Rumors about the chrome(Experiment still passes) -The flip kinda not makes it so tight here.. -Why not the camera with auto focus(I do understand it's for music use but it's a Nseries) -The fingerprint of the criminal has been found.. -no 3d ring tones +The cover display was also used in low based phones that's great YEY +2.4 qvga screen with 16 million colour wow I did'nt know that my friend has pimples in his nose HAHA! +More dedicated music keys if cover closed YES!!! +3.5mm jack for you're pwerful headphones +The fingerprint of the criminal has been found.. +Hey I can see my face here in the cover... Is it a camera.... no it's a mirror... The secondary is used in the main display +Hey the multimedia button is here! guess to the Music player +cover display as a viewfinder for the main camera So here is the review for this time this report is dedicated to XM 5700...I hope this report will also help others...Oh yeah I might buy a 5610 for a review stay tuned for Xpress Music Ellis HAHAHA!!!! If you ask more questions please add me at Yahoo messenger "[email protected]" THANK YOU!!!!

  • i'm just asking if this phone really peel off!!! i love it's features, the color everything but i hate it when it peel its color but i'm taking care of it ,i just bought it for 2 months its gonna be three this june then why its looks like older than my n70 that i used for 2 years ago? last question can it be possible to change the casing so i can have a new look in my phone? thanks a lot for ur concerns!!!!!!

  • ...this fone looks elegant but I heard the chrome peel off easily...gosh!!! ...which fone is best except this,,,the 6120 classic or the 6210 navigator..?

  • @xpressmusic ells,can u c0mpare the quality and l0udmess of n76 t0 5700?the bass and clarity?tnx

  • what kinda phone is this.

  • Uh.... thanks for noticing the review the guy under BASEER... Yah.... if the chrome does'nt peel off well it would be one of the greatest N-series.It performs great it moves and process faster than the mighty n95....Maybe we can find a way to stop the peeling... Some people told me even if you take good care of it,it still peels but how....?is it true my n76 is still two weeks old and still no sign of aging yet...

  • It's good phone in appreance only. Chrome gets off quickly looks ugly after that glass breaks sound quality not good keypad has faults fault develop in sound quality. I rate it 6/10

  • Nice review below my post. I like the n76 more. It's better in music since it's got a 3.5 mm jack and better audio quality through the headset. Don't care about the mono speaker as we normally play music through the headset. The speaker is just an alternative. Overall, n76 is the better performer (than 5700) since it's got larger screen, more elaborate UI (rotating gallery, search plugin, etc.), and microsdhc support. The only letdown and turn off is its poor construction and materials.

  • Hi uh.... I am Ellis a former Nokia Xpress music collector I've been collceting the nokia Xpress music first generation for two years (5200,5300 and the 5700) after the 5700 I changed my phone into the N76..... as I got these phone I compared it with the old symbian bro the 5700 Xpress music they are really the same in UI the only differences are the camera interface and the rotating Nseries gallery. In camera terms they both have a two megapixel with LED flash but -the n76 has a red eye reduction, a light sensitivity function and other shooting mode -the 5700 in other terms has a more stunning shot at night compared to the n76 but I'm not saying its the best but it's still satisfactory In music terms they do have dedicated music keys and up to 2 gig memory card mic SD a five band equalizer -the n76 has a standard 3.5 mm auio port for your iPod earphones and of course if you hava a JBL why not.....The cover display gives you easy scrolling to your music without flipping your phone but.... -The 5700 has a more agressive speaker (I always used it in the bathroom HEHE),a twisting design that can bring out the dedicated music keys, but in the negative side it only has a 2.5mm audio port too bad... Okay now for the screen display both fones have a 16.7 million qvga screen yup 16.7 million...... -The n76 adds more personalization with the cover display and its also good use for fashion statement it can be used as a mirror.And a huge bright 2.4 main display for your viewing pleasure. -The 5700 houses a good 2.2 display its also bright.The 2.2 display really looks big for the 5700. As foe the keypad they're pretty fighting it out -The n76 has a very flat keypad it is really hard to get it used to but there time to practice.But in dark environments it lights up pretty well I bought the red one one so the outine of the keypads is Red while the numbers and letters are with light blue or aqua maybe.But I really like the miltimedia button it's pretty cool when you press it.As for the dedicated music keys they are orange when you bought the red one blue for the black one. -The 5700 has a nice grip while texting but what I really hate is the joystick it's pretty hard to move around they should have used navigation keys rather than skimpy little joystick.But the keypads are great they are very responsive and lights up at white in dark environments even the dedicated music keys lights up in white. Okay nowfor the looks just like we humans we judge the book by it's cover let's see if the inside really is good than its cover -the complaints about the n76 is the silver thing.You now the chrome that we used for our cars bling like that.Well I also had a friend with an N76 a black one after a month I noticed it turning white.So maybe it is proven (my n76 was just bought this week) I am still conducting an experiment if it reall is true for now I will still say it's proven.My experiment is I will take care of the phone with a pouch and a piece of cloth.It might take a month or two.But the deisgn of the nokia N76 is for some business people or fashionista,but it does'nt really attract young teens full of music but it really is sexy and stunning like seeing mariah carey or some sexy people you know about,but I don't know about the quality yet so stay tuned.Now for the design it mostly made out of chrome and glass which is kinda luxury style you know what I'm saying but what we really hate is the shape the Mother F###in shape and size first of all its big for a clamshell and why is it so square why not give it a little shape for a cause the keypad is so flat but well it looks great but it's pretty hard to press but it performs pretty well.As for the cover it is a mirror a performer and a view finder. -The 5700 has a white plastic with a red rubber trimming or a black rubber trimming.Simmilar with the other Nokia Xpress music family.Smart move by Nokia Because it is also used as a grip really effective.It kinda really looks like the old 6600 but really slimmed down and a different keypad arrangement.The downpoint is the dedicated music keys sucks really it's so freaking huge compared to the other keypads and the dedicated camera kay is at the play button and the camera is at the side.but it is targetting young people with love for music. For now this is the review I can give you but it's your choice n76 or 5700 but they are really both close to each other they have also the same processor and UI kinda looks the same.It's like fat and thin HAHA!!! Well time for me to go..... bye I hope these wwill help you to buy your next month

  • This is great phone! Display is nice size. Im glad i buy this one.But one minus is main buttons.=( But this is best nokia N-Serie phone what i have been used.

  • i hav had this phone for 5 months.apart from the peeling prob this is a nice phone.however it hangs a lot while using net. I recomend to buy n73 or 81 but never buy this

  • this model is very bad quality..like a christmas light..on and off...

  • this phone is an absolute crap the chrome starts peeling wihin a month for sure and the colour starts fading and even the battery dosent last for more than a day.

  • i have bought this phone recently and its just one word for it............. AWESOME...... this phone just rocks.......

  • I really liked the phone, but along with the others the chrome starts to peel off. I had the black on and it looked really bad once the half of the front and the side chrome was peeling off. Other than that it had everything from style to function. oh yea, occasionally the music player will come on due to the buttons being accidentally pressed while in my pocket. To those interested in the phone i would rec that you stay away. Unless use the clear plastic case or the nokia pouch that comes with the phone, it should delay the chrome from peeling.

  • so...i have the phone since 2007 and works perfectly ofc. the crome is getting off but if we consider this is a smartphone, it really rocks, good aspect and performance and it`s not fragille beside the look so i recommand others to buy it !;)

  • this is a bad ph realy i am cryin after buyin ths 1...colours comes out,silver colour comez out,thn aftr every 1 month front glass gets broken...nvr do mistake to buy ths 1 frenzzzzzz

  • very nice phone...it's the BEST

  • it is a bad phone..dont buy this..instead this you can buy razr2 v8..i have this also..its just awesome..so good luck..

  • chrome won't stop peeling..! nokia, do something about this N-series, and very poor pic quality, esp pic taken at night. nice design tho..

  • the chrome is the biggest problem.. it just peels off easily and youre stuck with a somewhat "new/old" phone. updating the firmware though removes its software flaws like phone hanging..

  • i'm thinking about buying this phone..but too many complain i received n also i heard the color start to fading easily..compare with sony ericson w910i which one is much better?

  • Hey guys, i planning 2 buy N76.... I want some suggestions from u...since my dad financed me for my mobile .... does this peeling of chrome is in all phones?? Isn't any cure of it...thanx

  • Hey folks, I'm planning to buy this kind of phone, can any1 expert to this tell the biggest problem this phone is experiencing. Thank You!

  • Hi!!!I have also a N76 and I love it but the butery is not so good.one day!!!regards to all!!

  • BB Thats the light sensor when in Sleep Mode.

  • i wish it was actually wlan enabled

  • U kno wat.... yhe metallic paint started peelin off within 4-5 months of purchase oly... i bought it in may last year!! can u get it redone or something???

  • i think this phone tried to copy the razr's basic design?...but its still pretty cool. :)

  • i have an option for all you guys that paint has come off, go and get a clear plastic shell, like you can get for other fones that protect the screen and the body of it, you can stll flip it, slide it, twist it.. I have one for my n958bg and its the best. it doesn take anything away from the style,

  • hi plzz can anyone temme k frm where can we download the games for nokia n76 ?

  • so what if nokia released an apple green version of N76, with glowing green scheme keypad..man, that would b so cool

  • it's a nice phone but i bought this 6 months ago only and the color was fading. i heard that that so many complain of it.

  • Hey, what is the little blue light that flashes on the front screen? Is it a light sensor or something to do with the bluetooth?

  • this phone rocks! it is suitable for posh people.. how i wish i could own one like this.. = )

  • let 4get about the silver fading out but let be considerate the phone is good the sound quality is quite nice easy to use but nokia should improve with the batery life

  • is this phone no more being produced?

  • Annie, dont bother, even though the n95 is a "fat" phone, when you flip open this one, it feels like your holding a phone box.......... so stick with the n95 8gb, especially when the n96 is coming out soon and that would be much better

  • I have another Nokia..N95 8GB and i want to change it for this one.but i'm not sure..obviously the N95 in much better than this one but it's way too big.can you please give me an advice or something?what should i do?

  • this is a verry good fhone!! i boughht last year and it sttill works perfecttly..sori bad english, me not amerikan.

  • Maybe it's not the right place for a question,but i have a problem,I've erased all the Sim card,is it possible to enable again the memory of sim card? Thank you for reply

  • Hi, I was wondering whether there is a button I have pressed because after two rings, it hangs up. It has happened a lot of times and it is really frustrating! Can anyone help? Thanks

  • my n76 was a pretty good phone for the month that it lasted then it jsut stopped working the hinges got loose the screen flickered and my paint peeled in the first week . now im paying it off when it doesnt turn on not a good buy

  • this phone is the best, may not hav a 3.15mega pixel camrea like the N93i but its way beter looking, nice and thin. has all the featrues it needs, really good internet. and downloading, the speakers could have being a little beter, but not all phones a prefect, iv had my for 6 months no pint peeling at all, the ones that conplain about it, your phone is not bullet proof, if you drop it and that, its going to peel.look after it and its fine....

  • firstly theres no such thing as the perfect phone but the n76 is the closest you will ever come. i`ve had mine for 8 months now and i love it!!!!!!!! sadly i have to admit the chrome peels off after about 5 months, depending on how you treat it! im going to try the nokia care centre for a free recoat! besides the short battery life, rebooting itself, and the chrome peeling off. this would be the perfect phone!!!

  • i love this phone!i found a really2 great solution for those silver parts peeling off! make sure u bought this phone bnew or with nokia care warranty.my phone started peeling off after a couple of months.i brought it in the nokia care store and they will replace all the silver or chrome parts free of charge! all of it! as long as it is covered with the warranty.u can hav it changed free of charge everytime the silver part peels of!once,twice,thrice. again and again..remember..nokia care center.just use your warranty guys.hope this could be of help.:)

  • not happy jan. i got it, 3 weeks later sim stopped working, NOKIA gave me a red handset back and its just got all these design flaws. 1. you stick headset in, you can't open the phone the whole way. whats up with that?? 2. there's is no way to open it without the chrome peeling off, just makes the phone look cheap! 3. when texting or pushing buttons, it seems that only thin fingered ladies can use it properly NOKIA has made better phones. N76 is not worthy of the N Series brand.

  • It is such a stupid kind of mobile handset i have ever seen. Its cost is above thirteen thousads yet the camera is of 2 megapixel and lookwise it is a good mobile.

  • hey guys its been 8months ive got this phone...its a real wonder...bt if u take care the chrome and paint wont peel off....till now my phone is still alrite and just sme pait which got peeled off,i mean little as there is no proper way to open the flap.so with nails paint peels off...bt still i love it

  • If the chrome peels off, how can we fix it?

  • The silver cover in every N76 i know get out and there is no soluction to solve this problem :(

  • n76 very nice but one problem the cover is qashar

  • hey guys..uhm i was wondering.. does the silver painting really come off after sometime? cause i was thinking to buy this phone.....but after reading some comments i had some 2nd thoughts..can you guys tell me the best thing to do so the silver painting won't come off..and if you don't mind teling me the best 2nd choice of phone.......thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • If the chrome peels off, how can we fix it?

  • This is really a great phone. I only found 3 problems in the 5 months that i have had it now. The first is that the chrome litterly peeled of within the first month. I now have a black and white phone, second, if there is to much stuff going on it reboots itself and third, the keys are not nice for typing. The screen size and its 16M display is exellent! Very nice phone.

  • too late - yes the chrome peels off within 2 months u will have a black and white instead of black and silver phone..

  • well, i think n76 is a great phone to use. although the chrome does peel off, i think its just a matter of how you take care of it. i bought my phone last yr and i only had to change the chrome 2 times.(take note that i had only little pieces of chrome peeled off you wont even notice it i just dont want my fone looking bad) but hey if you guys think it sucks, we're all entitled to our own opinions right?:)

  • i just got this phone nd the color is really peeling off and it turns down automatically but its a really nice phone good technical specifications

  • hahahaha XD ur guys comments are funny... i agree dat N76 chrome will take off automatically.. ~*~*leorio~*~*

  • Do not get this phone!!! The chrome detail peels off after about 3 months and looks tatty as hell! Its too big...bigger than the Mot V3. Can't stress it enough...DONT GET THIS PHONE

  • i am willing to buy n76.the appereance really attracts me.my previous phone was 6270,the phone memory was too low.the phone was slow.the absence of symbian was the main problem.how about n76,does the chrome pill of????what about battery charging????cause some have mentioned these problems but some have rejected them help me please.i appriciate your comments.

  • the phone was really great but the main problem is the chrome which is very easy to be peeled off. .so we really need to put gmask on it but the nokia center in alabang wasnt allowed phones to be repair when theres gmask. . .the warranty will be void how sad. . .i already upgrade the phone with the latest firmware i was really shocked no hangs at all very great!!!!

  • elegant?? no way! the red unit of this cellphone chips of paint after a few weeks! while the first batch of n76's chrome thats supposed to be "gold plated" chips off after a few days! definitely a design flaw! nokia should concentrate on their quality control.. instead of releasing a new model each month, they should at least carefully design each and every one of their units!

  • I install a theme to my N76, immediately I switched it one but is say contact the retailer what can I do? plz I need your help. thanks

  • my battery drains fast it will only stay for an hour what can i do

  • I bought this N76 before 1 month.but I fase two big problem, one is when I online one guys thats time if call another guys then the phone is hang. Second is some time the reboot ownself.

  • N76 is a great phone to use and i must confess, the best phone i ever used but recently, the flex had problems. I hope i would be able to fix it coz i cant do away with the phone.

  • Very bad phone coz u have to change the housing after 10 days when useit

  • my dad is going to give me a phone. He let me choose what i want. I saw n76. And I was dying to buy this one.. Is the phone good? I read the comments a while ago about the fading of colors. Now, I'm having 2nd thoughts if i'm going to buy N76..Is N77 better than N76?..

  • actually,,i really luv dis phone !!! it looks elegant and smart !!!!! now i'm using SE W580i ,,i really hate the keypad so much !!!!!!!!! first it cracked,then when i want to text someone,that alphabet is not coming out !!!!!!!!!!! i wish i could buy this phone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • mmm when i c this phone online i die to buy it but im really confused i mean its my first cell and i wanted to be great but not too expensive. anyways its is good as it looks bye

  • i bought one about a month ago, I think is a good phone the stereo sound is great so far I had no problems with it.

  • hy!i have one n 76.it is great....but i want to ask you:how much time is the battery rezizst in normal condition of talking?my battery rezist only 1 and a half day.i think is not good

  • I realy want to buy this phone, but after reading all this comment make me think should i buy this phone.

  • i think this is the slimmest flip phone with flash!?? but it's too tall the keypad is flat like Samsung U300.

  • i want to buy this phone. Is it really advisable to have one? or should i buy other fones instead? i have read all your comments about the silver fading thingy and that the cover easily fades out. Also about themes, i did try to send .nth format theme but unfortunately its not supported. Hayy,... what's ur take on that???

  • To Priyay: Go for N76. Its much better looking. Extremely fast and responsive. Standard jack. Now also with an A2DP bluetooth profile. All this in a stunning package. Build quality is wonderful. And you get a better keypad - big and quite a pleasure to use if you are a typo. And hey, don't worry about the peeling problem. Its fixed. But still, get a good soft leather cover. Or use the cover supplied with the phone. Its good too. Cheers! I hope your doubt it solved.

  • really liked the look of the fone b4 i bought it. Don't buy this phone, Gud looking but low quality especially at silver area. And also sound volume i.e. Max volume is also very low as compared to normal volume of other nokia cell. I really very disappointed and had wasted lots of money.

  • guys the peeling problem is the only thing stopping me from running to the shop. does any1 know if the issue is fixed now, cause its been a long time since the phone came out? i read somewhere that a few months after the release better parts will be available and they will fix it in warranty, is that so now?

  • hello everyone! i read all ur comments and opinion about n76...if it's not too much trouble, can u guys help me decide which fone to buy? my choices are Nokia N73 and nokia n76.... between the 2, which do u think is a better fone overall? :) thank you and i will really appreciate all your opinions on this matter

  • the color easily fades out!!!

  • the color of this cover easily fades out and even the keypads too!!!

  • yes,i purchased nokiaN76(black) about 6 months back from dubai & absolutely it's great mobile, but to my shock the cover with silver finish is fading out, & layers fine plastic coating coming out, which totally changes the beauty of mobile. i simply wasted huge amount on it.

  • got this phone brand new about 5 hours ago and it won't charge for me i was so happy to see it coming in the post now i'm not so sure after reading some of the comments'now i have the hassle of having to post it back

  • this phone is nice and hippy but dnt you think that phone outlook is just like motorola?

  • i have this phone and and i m having problem this phone goes off automaticaly its a new phoneeeeee and i dont know whats wrong wiht it . i dont like it i havewasted lot of money. cant believeeeeeee

  • ive had the n76 nearly 3 months and the silver has near enough worn off completely, even with using a cover, its very annoying, but lucky its covered in the nokia warranty, so they fixed it up....

  • @asya If money is not an issue for you than go grab a N95 8gb, its good in looks & superb in features. most of the bugs that n95 classic did have are resolved in it like lower battery etc.

  • Me too my problem with this phone is that my buttons has already pealed out! even the outside cover of my phone has already pealed out! a great phone but the color easily faded out...

  • i have problem with d silver area.it has peeled off.wat d f..k.

  • I have had this phone for nearly 6 months now and the only thing that it has done wrong is a little peeling on the silver part but still not very noticable anyway. The phone is pretty tough...I drop it and chuck it constantly on all different surfaces and the phone is still going strong

  • i love n76 but there is a problem in it i can't download any background Ex like anime background

  • i thunk that n76 is the best nokia disign and there performane are good not like n96 the last one but... i'm in love with n76 at the first time when i see it

  • there are fricking fingerprints all over,damn irritating 2 wipe.also,it is quite laggy when you use the fone without opening da fold.n,its fricking large

  • Don't buy this phone. I bought 1 n very disappointed with it. Gud looking but low quality specially at silver area. Same prob. with asya.

  • really liked the look of the fone b4 i bought it. but jeez was i disapointed when the silver started peeling... my fone has been sent away twice awready... gna sell the dam thing when it gets bak and get me something else... any suggestions any1?

  • attention to all. realy i swear thiese phone very nice and great phone. ihave it from 7monthes it is not peel off any more.and it have very quality sound.really it is very great phone

  • i think that if you'd be careful with this phone it can be very nice and a practic phone.Try not to drop it cause every phone will have problems then!Go for it Nokia you're the best!!!!!!

  • hye there... i've read all the comments.. but i still can't decide either N76 or N95 is better.. 4 me.. it's not price that matter... but the quality and it's look is imp0rtant.. i really cares ab0ut the fashion lifestyle.. and w0n't me t0 l0ok as in outdated pers0n... please.. really need ur help to decide 4 me..

  • i droped my phone so hard or something and now it doesnt close right. It annoys me so much and the silver it starting to come off. Not alot but slowly.

  • what i like about my n76 (black): -its slim & light -its elegant -its black -its a flip-top -the call voice feature (that guy's voice you hear telling you who is calling) -cover sound personalization.. where you can assign a music/wav tone when u open or close the cover.. -no need to bring a mirror, because it has its own mirror -the pictures from the cam are good,you can also shrink its size for smaller bite storage -its waaaay better than motorzr! -the batteries last for a long time..when you dont use the music a lot! hehe:) -the speakers are also good.. its loud enough to be heard.. what i hate bout it: -headset plug-in is out of place.. when youre talking to somebody using a headset you cannot fully open the cover, thus, it'll be difficult to do other things on your phone while on call using the headset.. -its not very user-friendly compared to other nokia phones.. -it hangs most of the time.. suddenly shuts down without any reason then after a while just turns on by itself. -the silver parts peel-off easily -i dont think it has a function on the contacts where you can change which contact to view, whether the sim or phone contacts. -it slips my hands easily... i havent dropped it yet though =) so its up to you! whether you'll gonna like it or not.. atleast now you have an overview of what to expect with this phone.. as for me, i like it! i just really have to be careful not to drop it..and as for the "hang" problem, there's always nokia customer centers to fix it.. as long as its under warranty there's no problem about it.. but when my warranty expires,well that's another story,depending on how much they'll gonna charge me! LOLz! let's stay connected! NOKIA ^.^

  • i've read the comments regarding this fone so far.. but i still can't figure out whether this fOne is cool or not. just looking at its pics, i fell in love with the unit.. it looks really elegant.. anyway, which is better, n76 or motorazr v8?? answer is badly needed..

  • i got mine like 4 months ago.to me its a nice phone but i hate the silver part peels off easily, so the pain?i really loved it at first but not anymore,its totally ugly now. I sent it back to Nokia to fix it but i had to pay them $98 in order for them to fix it...i was hella disappointed n pissed

  • i heard that it loses its color quickly, is it true? and it breaks easily, cuz it's fragile, very fragile, more than any nokia device, so is that true also? thanks guys

  • the shape of mobile is very good & all applications is fantastic. but it have one disadvantages (it hangs alot from the first time i use it althougt i use memory 2g)can anyone tell me why ? what the solution about this proplem?

  • Ditto on the chrome paint peel problem and poor camera. Yes, the speakers are above average because they are separate (on bottom) from the primary speakers.

  • does the phone has nice sound speakers

  • Ugly phone the color easily fades out!

  • I've had this phone for nearly a year and it is a fantastic phone. It performs well in every respect and looks great. The only small criticism is that the metallic paint does flake off easily.

  • nice phone but just 2 mp camera quality, big phone, very easy to peel especially the silver part of it.

  • nice phone, love the way it looks, but just little bit disapointed with the plastic cover! anyway if u think of using it, don worry make it urs!

  • can the cam in the front take photos??

One question though?? is tomtom 6 able to work on this fone (it always says expired certificate.... and also whats the max max mem card capacity the fone can take without crashing or being unstable??? thanks guys!!!

  • Wont the front silver panel peel off if you scratch it or fool around with the phone or something or does it just peel off with EVERY N76 phone you buy? I am asking becoz I am interested in buying this phone so want to make sure before going ahead.

  • this is a very thin phone. very nice to use. i like it. the battery also last very long time. the colour of the phone is very fantastic. i've had this phone for about 6 months i have no problems with it. i think i'll recommend this phone to anyone thinking of changing to N-series. It's very good recommendation.

  • that s a 'peeling off' i think

  • i hate this mobile and in just 2 weeks the color started to chip from both sides and the silver on the cover started having scorching on it it looked like i had it for 10 years and then i started having problem with it every time and it hangs lots.i had 1gb memory card then also hangs lot.if someone is planning to take this mobile i would recommend that don't take this mobile in life.

  • i inserted my sim card but the phone does not read the card.pls help

  • this nokia n76 rocks!!! so love this phone!!! very slim but the problem is the "leprosy issue" or the peeling... the silver case is also known as the "magical silver" it will turn to color white as you will see for upcoming days...like magic! but still i love magicians! so NOKIA ROCKS!!! I LOVE YOU..

  • I had the same problem the color of my fone has already faded out that looks ugly

  • It's beautiful, but it's big.. I don't like bigs cellphones.

  • i hate this mobile it cost me alout and in just 2 weeks the color started to chip from both sides and the silver on the cover started having scorching on it it looked like i had it for 10 years and then i started having problem with it every time i open it the screen turns black i have to flip it on and off over and over agine so it works witch do for like more 4 seconds then it goes dark agine i sent it to nokia co. they said the cant fix it because water went in the screen what a rep off !!!!

  • well for those of you who have problems regarding your n76 phone peeling.. there's a store here in the philippines called g mask.. it's a great way for your phone to have a new look..it has a lot of great designs and you can out crystals on it to0 if you want :)

  • I've had this phone for a few months now, and i highly recommend. No peeling that i can spot. Some little things that might interest you: the glowing button pad is light sensitive, the display screen when closed turns into an awesome mirror, you can read messages in the small display, and you can totally rearrange the menu and folders to suit you. i never get sick of this phone.

  • this phone is a really great phone to have only problem is taht it peels really quickly and after that happens it doesnt look that great anymore could anyone tell me why this is happening?!

  • My only problem with this phone is that the color of my fone has already faded out! and there's NO replacement which is ugly!

  • I had one of this fone it's nice but the color easily fades out!

  • it's a great phone. i got the white version work g8 love it nokia is the BEST =D

  • this phone is amaising it;s the dream phone of any body it's elegant, usefull, modern and every thing the one can dream of having in mobil phone thank you NOKIA

  • When you use the ear phones the sound quality is the best in world. I hate the fact that it peels of. Can you replace it

  • Nokia should've used the stainless steel finish of the 6300 to make the body of the N76, so that way it would even looked more elegant and expensive.

  • i had this phone for like 4 months now.... eversince i got this phone i never dropped it and such... but the paint on my phone peels off i dnt knw why... its a great phone though but the color peels.... even the play,forward,and rewind button peellssss... GOD!!

  • well your right there regine only belo touches your skin but this phone really peels off it sucks.

  • i've gt tis phone for bout 5 mths now.... till now i dun even c any peeling of its color.... onli those rude ppl will make the color peel out....To me, tis phone is a g8 phone of all i've used b4.........

  • how much does it cost in the philippines? is the picture of low quality when there's poor lighting??? i have a nokia 6120 but i was kind of dissapointed on the pictures when it's a bit dark.

  • it peel of. only belo touches my skin..who touches yours? this phone uses maxi peel and rdl.. its skin peels off day by day like leprosy

  • i've had this phone for five months now and I'd reccomend this phone to anyone I meet. In short...... THIS PHONE ROX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I have the N76 in my hand right now, it is very good set untill it starts losing it's color, It looks very bad after one or two months of use.

  • This model is so sweet wish I can have one.

  • i buy this mobile and its soooooo good and sexy fantastic

  • its gr8 phone! Good design! and its really fast. its express musis which is really good and has lots of different features

  • Its quality is better in Europe then in Asia,I am sure ... I am keen on this phone, so i am plannig to buy it... I hope It won t look awful after some time... if someone bought it in Europe tell us does it peel off??

  • I'm willing to buy this set! Shall I buy it or not ? what do you people say? or do you suggest me anyother better set with similar features?

  • just want to know if you can exit the music player to process other applications? pls. respond. thanks!

  • Excuse for my English,I bought N76 2 weeks ago and notice that the life of battery is about 55 h.,without talking,is it possible? Am i go to change the battery in guaranty? Thanks for replay!

  • For those of you who say the battery life on this sucks, I have to disagree. I first bought this phone last September and on first getting it, I charged the handset for the full 16 hours. With minimal use, I only need to charge my battery every 3 days and on the occassions when I use it heavily, I need to charge every other day. As for the problem when connecting to the PC, you need to chnage to profile to General, (it says so in the manual) Also, having had my phone since Sept, my phone has hardly any peeling of the chrome! Yeh, the camera is the lamest I've seen and the sound is poor.. But that's not the reason why I bought this phone. I bought it cus I wanted a slim flip smartphone and thats what I got. Loving this phone! Sam

  • Forgot to say .. all yo that are saying it a V3 ripoff. What the hell. The V3 is 100% uglier than this phone, and its a malfunctioning piece of crap

  • Hello, My girlfriend has just bought the phone. She loves it. I like it too. It is very stylish. For those who complain about the camera ... do you think you bought an SLR camera ... sheesh. As far as the menus go, its not limited to the N76. I have the N95 8G and it has the same menu system. Seems to be a Nokia standard design. I do agree they aren't very user friendly, not like the famous Nokia User Friendliness of past designs. Shes dropped it a million times on concrete with only just visible scratches. Connecting to the computer ... not one issue, if you have get your PC looked at, its never the phones no matter what brand. Transmitting data to and from the phone - flawless I actually never had an issue with any nokia

  • trust me..dont ever buy thiz fone..extremely poor and bad..the color easily to peel.bad camera n sound..

  • I had a Motorola V3X which I really liked but it was stolen. So when I read the features of the N76 it seemed like the next progression adding more functionality. I wanted a better camera and was pleased to read that it could be operated without opening the fliptop. I like the idea of Office synchronization. It was when I started to use the phone that the frustration began. I am computer engineer and far from being a technophobe. I admire good design with intuitive menus. The Nokia N76 has one of the worst interfaces I have ever encountered. One of the first big disappointments was the camera. It has too many settings that require working thru the nested menu system to set in order to achieve reasonable pictures in all but perfect conditions so the fact that you could shoot with out opening the flip top was redundant. The button to take the picture was recessed and not easy to use anyway. I also found accessing the pictures you took cumbersome. I liked the rotational picture display but it was the only redeeming feature. It seemed everything you want to do on the N76 takes multiple menu option selections. I tried to see about customizing the menu and making short cuts but it was not at all intuitive and I gave up. Connecting to the PC was hit and miss. Should just work but sometimes it simply would not recognize the phone. Loading up music and clips was awkward and cumbersome. The phone comes with the CD�s of software but there was very little I found useful. I only had the phone for two weeks before I swapped with the girl friend but I just remember one frustration after another. I was on the verge of breaking it so switching to the girl friends Sony Ericsson was the best option. Her phone was a bit cumbersome as it included a full querty keyboard and touch screen. I quickly got used to these and it has changed my whole outlook on what I want in a phone. The girl friend also hated the N76 and kept asking me when I would buy another and give her back hers. Today I purchased a Sony Ericsson P1i and so far I am loving it. It has all the features the N76 but its much more intuitive and just works. Connecting to the PC was easy and office synchronization works perfectly. I was able to easily customize the front menu to include direct links to the thinks I want (something I could not work out how to do with the N76) I have uploaded some MP3s but have yet to upload any video clips. Since getting the N76 I have only met two other people with them and both are not really happy with the phone. I don�t recommend it to anyone.

  • By the way, for those who complain about the peeling and random shutoffs, you've been gipped. Those phones were manufactured in China and therefore less than the quality you'd expect. I can say from experience because I previously bought a Nokia 7370 Amour collection and it came from China - outerwear quickly wore off. My friend got the same phone in Hong Kong (manufactured in Taiwan) and she hasn't had any problem with it at all.

  • I love this phone because of its GREAT internal and external memory SD that comes with it. I can put music on it and the sound quality is awesome. The problem is you can't completely flip open the phone when you plug in the headphones because it'll get stuck with the earphones. Other than that, I didn't find the peeling a problem because I bought a hard case for it while I was in Asia. You can go onto the Nokia site to register its manufacture number so that it'll be covered by NokiaCare. Other than that, I absolutely love the phone and its resolution is quite superb.

  • i m talking about the sound quality....it suckS:S

  • hey.....can any suggest me plz that how can i increase the volume of the set...i did increased the volume to full but i dont think that such a gr8 mobile phone with equalizer has such a lame volume....CAN any bdy tell PLZ?

  • This is the most disappointing product from nokia, they could've done better

  • The phone is great I got it when it first came to the market and besides the silver paint thats peeling and the weak battery, everything else is great! I was searching for a stylish flip-phone with symbian OS and this phone came out like a dream :) It's great! I don't regret buying it and I will use it till it breaks down for sure ...

  • there's a new pearl white color!!!

  • Can any1 please tel me if you can watch movies with htis phone like you do with the motorola Z8 and Nokia N95 because I am going to buy it real soon..... Please Help me quick

  • hey guys! good news for n76..i asked the lady in NOKIA and she said that they have addressed the peeling problem because nokia made sure that the paint won't peel anymore..just make sure that when you buy your n76 you make sure that the warranty is covered by NokiaCare..

  • n76 is .....i dont know but it lokks great , espcially in black color ....anyway i love this fone though it has some bad sides in it ...so if i rate it ..i would say that it was in a medium level type fone.

  • ok...the problm iz dat im lukin for a flap phone....n *nokia*!!! but ppl temme not 2 by n76!!! i use mai phone really carefully!!!but im wonderin how doez d outer pannel turn white?? i wantt diss phone....but people tell me not 22 by!!

  • The colors available for model N76 are only black and red. It must be available in pink, Gold, Full silver, Blue and cute levandor... All other Softwares must be supporting like freesms via bluetooth, fullscreencaler, spycall and others.

  • Silly me, I ignored the gsmarena.com opinion posts and got myself an N76. Everything said about the chrome coming off is true, This is great phone don�t get me wrong, but lets face it, a big part of mobiles these days is image, and it goes from looking great, to looking lame, very quickly. Avoid this handset if possible.

  • the nokia n76,sad to say but comments about the "peeling of the silver outside case" is true... proven... newborn skin reveal... "only BELO touches my skin, who touches yours..." -regine velasquez n76

  • well i have this mobile from last August, i was very happy for buying this mobile until it's outer case start to show its defects, start to turn to white although my use is v delicate.. also soft ware is getting down with time to the extent that i've to take the battery off to start working again coz it's not responding with all means. These days i feel that i took the wrong decision by having it.. :(

  • i just wanna say ive had the n76 since august. i fell in love with it straight away being the n series (which i love) and being a flip which i had been looking .major problem for me is the battery even though the n73, n70 (which ive had) had wickid battery this one i cant carry on long distance. and secopnd thing is camera im positive its less then a 2mp even thougfh it states it is i have my doubts.camera quality is poor for a 2mp now im looking for an upgrade this is n series and a flip, any one know any that are coming ouit soon?

  • Looks very sophisticated.Functions r also great.Keypad is a bit difficult to use.The outer casing is HORRIBLE!!! But sounds good.Guys,plz update the firmware to get better sound quality from the in-built speaker.

  • Hello pe0ple !! What do ya think is better?? N76 or 5700 ?? In c0nditi0n of OS,N76 has better 96Mb RAM,than 5700 64Mb RAM.. But the design of N76 especially the keypad is very bad..

  • hi evry! I have a question concernin the n76 bluetooth..i can receive files bt i can't send any.pliz help....am in great need.thanks in advance.

  • I am using it for last 6 months. I am in love with N76. It is an amazing phone. My phone also peeled off its chrome plating but Nokia had replaced the parts. So go on use it.

  • Can you use tomtom mobile 6 on the fone?? does it work well?? thanks guys

  • Hello people! I have a quick question for all you people in Singapore and those of you not in Singapore that have bought/received a mobile phone from there.. And the question is:.. Will a phone bought from Singapore (that is UNLocked and UNbranded) work ANYWHERE in the WORLD? Will the phone language and the keypad keys be in English? I dropped my phone yesterday and noe the "Connector" between the battery and the phone as broke of and the phone will only work if I weddge the connector tight on the back of the phone to the contact. :( Not happy, I loved this phone! Would appreciate your help.. Thank you!! Sam-Sam

  • Great phone but really let down by the poor quality casing,the silver peels of quicker than a cheap hooker

  • please help me. When I'm trying to install the themes into my phone, when they are checking the validity certificate, they'll show this on my phone "Unable to check certificate validity online. Checking settings". Please help thank you.

  • This phone has great features no doubt! Easy to use, Navigate, Quick Response, Never Lags, Battery life is good. But i think NOKIA failed w/ the casing! the casing is so cheaply done the silver coating chips off and tears off rily fast! I guess NOKIA dint have time to think of the right material to use for the casing or then again this might be a marketing strategy for them for you to purchase a replacement housing for the case to add more sales! :(

  • very good phone:loud sound,pure image,light weight,the mini display turns into a mirror after a couple of seconds,high quality,pleasing,has movie creator and slideshows(very cool),has 1 game called snakes (3D), if u take my advice :i will say the N76 is the BEST,the black colour is better (more elegant);buy it quickly before anyone else does!!!!(lol)

  • I'm in love with the design of this phone,always wanted to get a razr but never did so because of its "weird old" icons and display,this mob is awesome bcos its a razr with a symbian OS,as far as the peeling problem is concerned,i feel if u dont use it roughly,there wont be a prob,but still there's always an option to G-Mask it

  • I bought it and i am suing it currently, and it is very good phone, and the problem i have noticed with this phone that, the Shining skin in the back will be revomed with the time due to poor quality, other than that, i recommend this phone for any one likes to buy it and specially ladies :) Thanks, NKU

  • i love this phone!

  • I bought this phone 5 months ago. It is beautiful to use and an equally beautiful screen. One complaint only: The build quality. The chrome peels off, which does not impress me, mine is revaling bare plastic underneath. Contacted Nokia. They will fix it! if it's not misuse. Still very dissappointing.

  • this is an amazingly smart n slim phone but there is so much complaint about peeling off the silver portion of the body but i tell the people living in u.a.e having axiom warranty can replace the covers free of cost from axiom. this is good thing about it. cheers..

  • those people who buy china version,,, the silver part is fading ,,,, u been fooled

  • i bought this phone and return it after 2 days, the silver part peel...this phone is absolutely beautiful, but dun know why the finishing of the extrerior was so badly done!!!!

  • hi every body.. i am planning to buy this phone.. i want to ask, which one is the most beautiful, the red or the black one?

  • The phone hangs a lot and the crome peals in no time. I have had this only for 2 month and the crome has has peeled off in ac oupld of places and so the phone looks terrible.

  • can i change the silver part of the phone? coz it's already fading..

  • excellent phone..just dont care what people say.. buy it..i have one .. and i m so happy..

  • Oh what a fone! The screen always crashes down and i have to buy another one that costs 100$ and a flat cable that costs 50$, it happened twice with me! so now i gave up, and i ditched it in my closet since no one wants to buy it!

  • When u set a picture as your wallpaper does it take up all the screen? I heard it doesnt.

  • Im very upset with my purchase. Not only is the phone crappy to work with, but im someone who takes a lot of care of my phones and this silly things chrome is peeling off and the front screen scratches SOOOO easily! And i have only had it for two months! What a waste of money.

  • can it play mp4 format??

  • i heard that there's a white one now. it looks better, since it blends in more with the silver.. pretty nice !

  • I wonder if you guys from Asia region could tell me whether this mobile phone support the use of Mandarin Hanzi for SMS or not. Many thanks!

  • Hi everyone. Pls I need to know if the sound from the external speakers of the N76 is comparable to that of the 6290. Also I need to know which is better as regards the sound from the earphones. Thanks

  • Theres something wrong wit ma screen. i can still see some picture put its vary dark.....im wonderin do i need to get a whole new one or is it just tha black light..

  • its really cool i love it .....it has alot of features and its so thin!!!!

  • I bought Nokia N76 two mont back now it's body cover got totally damaged. I bought it from abroad so here in India they are not giving warranty. Checked with Nokia care and they asked me to pay us$ 32. saying that this is manufacturing defect. I am a user of nokia phones from last 6years and in never expected this kind of bad manufacturing from NOKIA..Really very very bad. Paid more than us$ 473 and i cannot now use the same in the public.

  • people don't know that ah first set of this phone is totally a problem,,, but now no problem at all chrome peeling? NOTHING because im using n76 3 months no problem at all.....people who hates this phone is the people who can't afford this

  • I read lots of the comments here, in fact after I ordered the phone, and as you can imagine I got 'a bit' worried. However I bought the phone because of two things - its good looks and its functions and I think it's the best one that combines these two in such a nice way. I have the cell phone for almost a month now and I haven't noticed any of the problems mentioned here. It's still beautiful and it works perfectly. My phone is produced in Europe and I suppose this is the main reason for it quality. So, i think what should be said here is not "don't buy this phone at all", but "buy it only if it's produced at the right place". Of course there are things that I don't like about it and the main two are: 1) it's incredibly hard to open it's back cover to change the battery of the SIM and it's supposed to be a lady's phone, so... please... and 2) the front display is kind of useless if you don't use your mobile as a mp3 player, like me - it does hardy offer any other functionality. So... that's it :)! Buy it if you dare :)! I bought it and I don't regret it :)

  • Don't buy, you will be disappointed. Not only because of the chrome peeling but because of the serious functional problems. You can not fix those by software updates or using of phone more carefully. Do not do the same mistake what others has done. It is time for Lessons Learnt.

  • can somebody tell whether this phone is good or bad to buy it.otherthan the going of colur.pls tell me.

  • I got it 6 month ago and everything seems OK except the paint ... the silver paint sux ... it started to came off like one month after i bought it and now the phone is particularly white (below the silver paint). I'd rather like it to be without the silver paint .. this way at least it will be one color... I think it look good without the silver paint, just black and white...

  • Not a comment but a question. May I know how to charge the N76 phone thru the USB connection please. Cheers.

  • i havent brought n76 yet but im thinking of getting it why should i do?

  • I got my gf the n76 1 month ago and now the phone will not turn on. Anyone have any suggestions?

  • This phone looks very good when you unwrap it. Silver paint on sides starts peeling after a couple of months whereupon it looks really ugly!The software does not always recognise incoming calls to match them to names in your address book resulting in you not being notified that the incoming call is actually from someone in your address book! Battery life acceptable, phone is neat sized with good MP3 output sound.Good keyboard layout and feel.Pity about the paint and software!!!

  • this phone is good,but the battery useage is not lasting......

  • i like using nokias i thought they were really good but they seem to be getting worse. i think im going to go back to sony ericsson for a while untill nokia comes out with a good phone again

  • i hav had this phone on contact on vodaphone i liked the look in the begining but later regreted it. it is too bulky volume no go good keeps getting disconected i can go on and on my advice dont buy it pleassssse

  • evryy opinion on ever phone is "it is bad dont buy it ull regret it...." no 1 is happy with his phone. but im gana go get the n76!!

  • so i got this phone for $600 and it kinda sucks i havent been able to use it for 3 months. It wont turn on!! What should i do i ordered it off the site should i send it back???

  • This is the worst phone I have owned in nine years. Yes it' supposedly all singing all dancing but it is incredably un user friendly and does not deliver as it is under powered. No 1, the loudspeaker volume is so low you stuggle to hear anyone without ramming it into your ear. No 2 The battery life is more than a day meaning you have to lug around a charger. No 3 without a degree in Nokia engineering it is very hard to carry out simple functions, ie without using a shortcut key, trying to put the phone on silent you have to go into four submenus! I have not had a big problem with the chrome peeling but really it is a complete letdown. DO NOT GET THIS PHONE YOU WILL REGRET IT FOR THE NEXT 12 MONTHS

  • The chrome peeling is the 1st issue, and when ever you want to change the case u will be told it is not available.I regret buying the phone

  • Not a phone I'd recommend to others. Hangs frequently (much too often actually) and we are often unable to hear the caller. Have to re-set the phone frequently due to the frequent hanging. As I'm typing this, my phone is hanged. Will be getting rid of it later today.

  • I had a nokia 6260 since spring 2005. Now I think to make an upgrade to N76, but after all I read on this forum I must reconsider that. Nokia 6260 has also pelling off problem, but this is the only drawback I notice in almost 3 years of use. The software working great and, overall, it is a smart-phone that addict me. Now, after reading all the comment I think I'll be sorrow if I change my old an reliable 6260 with N76. I think is wise to wait for a future clamshell smart-phone. If you have some suggestion I'm glad to receive it.

  • The battery life will be a joke! A 700 mah battery in a multimedia phone! OMG!

  • this is certainly an over-valued phone.the chrome peeling problem really kills the phone.the moment a portion came off,it's a matter of time before the entire coating came off.this phone also hangs frequently especially when you accept an in-coming too fast thru the front cover before the entire msg tone complete.The worst part is the network connection is very poor.Many times, the opposite party cannot hear you.in case where the voice loudness is poor, pressing the volume increased button too frequently will also hang the phone.In summary,do not attempt to buy the phone.

  • This phone chrome peeling is one kind of problem. It has lot of many other problems which are not possible to cover by G-mask or any other abracadabra trick. Some examples here: Connectivity to the network is not working well, sometimes other person can not hear you even you can hear that person voice, battery life is very short, software crashes (even in latest updates), voice from speaker by max volume is weak, very bad tactility for camera key, poor camera picture quality, you can not charge this phone from USB, sometimes phone does lost date and time when you put power off and turn that on again, SIM-card tray pull tab mechanism is a total flop, new phone battery cover is extremely difficult to remove, USB-connector placement is a design mistake. I would like to say that all of these problems are very hard to fix by phone user. These are related to phone design and goes back to Nokia engineers. I would like to say, totally over valued phone. Definitely not value for the money. There is one thing what I like in this phone and it is very nice feature, this phone usage as a modem on a road is easy, simple and it really works.

  • are u blind? Card slot microSD (TransFlash), hotswap, buy memory

  • i had this phone and sometimes when i watch video it is going to switch off and it says no memory card

  • Why are you people putting low ratings on this phone?? It's a very good smartphone! Full of features. If you are having problems with scratches and peeling, why not put it in a crystal case or G-MASK it!! You see, very simple solution :)

  • N76 volume is NOT loud. other phones are louder. just go G-MASK it.

  • so, overall,is n76 a good phone. cause i just want to get myself a new phone. either sony ericsson w910i or nokia n76. which phone is better? i actually decided to but n76, but i heard ppl saying that the chrome cover easily peels offso, overall,is n76 a good phone. cause i just want to get myself a new phone. either sony ericsson w910i or nokia n76. which phone is better? i actually decided to but n76, but i heard ppl saying that the chrome cover easily peels off. so i was thinking shd i still buy this phone or w910i. yeah. so if is you ppl what phone would you buy? or which phone you ppl think i shd buy? i just wan phone with 2mp camera, mp3. and also with classic design and colour(especially RED) uh hur yeah.

  • Yes, you can buy a memory card for this phone.

  • please help me. When I'm trying to install the themes into my phone, when they are checking the validity certificate, they'll show this on my phone "Unable to check certificate validity online. Checking settings". Please help thank you.

  • does it have alot of memories? or a place for a memory card?

  • i had this phone its like good for the disne but the covre its bad

  • i had the nokia n76 for almost 3 months now and also had it repaired 3 times already because the chrome cover easily peels off! this phone sucks! to people plannig to buys a n76 please don't or you'll be sorry! heed my warning

  • Not a comment but a question, as I want what about the MP3 player of NOKIA Phones? because Actually I'm using Sony ericson that have very good Player (Walkman) Thanks

  • Fantstic and intresting

  • I got n 76 and its not a very good phone,it doesnt have a good tawk time like others im into kind of flip phones 7390 was quite good the battery time was double then this one,i even buyed and e90 thats quite good and has a better tawk time,can anyone kindly suggest me a good phone with a better tawk time.thanku.

  • very good looks...

  • hey guys instead of worrying with chrome peeling of issue. why dont G-MASK it?! I think its the best way to protect your phone BEAUTIFULLY from peeling off... if you dont what g-mask is, search the web hehehe! anyway g-mask is somehow like a plastic material with difrnt designs to choose from, it is thin but very durable and protecive, i dont know if its gona work with n76, but it really did with my n92.

  • I bough my N76 in May 2007 (after waiting for six months for its release here in SA) as a substitute for my Razor, which was really outdated at that time but still good...to my dismay the N76 is KAK to say the least! For starters the built quality is questionable, the fake chrome finish on my N76 is pealing faster than CCX!!! And there are no skins for sale yet here in SA(08/11/07). Lastly I still can not get over the fact that it does not charge when coupled to a USB....lazy Nokia designers!!!!!!

  • i just wanna know about N76 camera why it is bad although it is 2MP

  • I ve had this phone for two months and i tell you there is NO peeling. This is by far the best phone ive had.

  • btw, this phone = bad quality

  • Hey guys i m a phone sales and i was just reading ur opinions of this phone and some suggestions and questions...many or all of them can be solved with some common sense... firstly, ppl who buys this phone purely buy it for the look of it and it's 'sort of' alternative for motorola style phone but under the nokia brand. it's for those customers who likes flip phones and nokias and wanna stay away from motorolas. it's not meant to beat N95's, N80's or other phones for the features, if u want features, why don't you get those phone instead??? yes the chrome chips, but don't all colors come off when you put them in your pocket with the keys and coins? 1. don't put in ur pocket in the first place, no contact, no scrach, no peeling off, no damage 2. put a crystal cover on it, it may look crap but at least the phone will be mostly untouched. accessory is just an accessory, it suppose to either enhance, beautify, or protect, who cares if the case breaks/scratches? 3. put in a phone sock. this will probably be the best solution as the material of the sock will act double as a finger print wiper. since the material of the N76 is very prone to finger prints, much like on the navigator, the phone sock will easily compliment this flaw Cheers IQ

  • i have purchased n76 and its a big mistake by me .three time it got repaired and still sucks .my sister have razr 2 v8 and working superbly .and camera is better than n76

  • For those who do not believe to this chrome peeling, please check these sites

  • Being an ardent Nokia user I was quite intrigued by the N76 I had this phone for almost 2 months and it left me with me a feeling that buying the N76 was the biggest mistake of my life. Where do i start? This is a phone that has an amazing design, great features BUT dismal performance. Some of the issues you will face with the handset for sure are 1] Peeling of the housing 2] Unstable software which leads to constant rebooting (Its like the phone has a mind of its own). A call to the Nokia contact centre will only result in advice to do a master reset or book it for repair. 3] The music player is pretty good but quite often you will hear a weird buzzing sound and then the phone does what its best known for; Reboot. 4]It refuses to play any videos without rebooting (Sigh...here we go again) These are issues that i have identified with other N76 users as well. So it cannot be termed as a one off case. All in all from my experience I feel this handset is a waste, both monetarily and in terms of customer satisfaction. I managed to recover only 44% of the original market price. I have now moved onto Sony Ericsson and believe me I am happy. So if any of you are even thinking of buying this handset, BANISH THE THOUGHT!!!!

  • Does anyone have this phone in America? I might be buying my friend's N76 and it's from Asia I believe - I saw a Nokia Asia registration card in there. I want to know how easy it would be to set up all the necessary EDGE settings so I could use this w/ a data plan w/ Tmobile. If Ibought an american version of this phone, all that stuff would probably be built in right? Also, could I tether with this phone and my MacBook Pro laptop?

  • planning to but this fone coz i'm greatly attracted by it's design. the red one looks so appealing. but as far as my researches and readings on nokia phones, i discovered that it's great design will soon be fading, not to mention its chrome coatings... For now, i'd rather have an N80 or N81 perhaps. N80 because of its wide-range functionalities(3.15MP camera, stereo music player and visiual radio.Plus, its built-in WI-FI/ Wireless LAN for unlimited internet browsing)... N81 because of its dynamic design and a lot of features that other phones do not have... It's really great! Seriously speaking... Only that it has only a 2MP camera, but i guess 2MP is good enough. high resolution though. As a bottom line, N76 is really good but be careful in handling this phone. It's design and menu settings are by far very unique.

  • to mr i just bought, to protect your phone from chrome peeling off, just put a crystal case just like i did, but i gues you will never feel at ease and at comfort thinking that one day, aaaah my beautiful phone will shed off and metamorphosize to an ugly creature... the reason i sold my unit a week after i used while the chrome is still intact. some nokia store covers them under waranty but you have 2 w8 until stocks arrive, acrding 2 my friend who encounterd this prblm hyperbolicaly speaking you have 2 w8 until your waranty lapses... hahaha! are they realy wiling 2 replace it?!?

  • i do not thionk so,this is very nice and good phone whith beutiful construction,it red color is so exciting,all in all elegant and smart

  • From my past experiences, it is useless to take your phone for repair at any repair centre, as none of them do a good repair job! I'll always sell my phone whenever I find any problem ...never count on repair!

  • i just bought this phone, and after reading these comments im scared to get it, i ordered it. can anyone give useful tips to stop chrome peeling cause i want my phone to look good for at least a year...ive had problems with nokia before. i boughta nokia 5300 and i never had receptions buttons wouldn't work, applications where self deleting, major freezing and right now it getting repaired for the second time under my one year contract....and things get lose and DONT CHANGE THE HOUSING BY YOURSELF< GET SOMEONE TO DO IT WHO WORKS FOR NOKIA OR YOUR CARRIER..haha... so i understand nokia phones are fragile and i want to take care of this one so it wont be visiting the repair center, should i buy a protective case or what???

  • I do not understand you people you see and read all the time about N76 that "phone freeze up a lot and the paint peel off" but you guys considering buying it. I had one same problem then i trade it in for another phone Do Not Do Not buy this phone. Asham to Nokia making phone like this.

  • hiiiiiii it is really nice phone

  • Kind of like the look of this phone the first time I saw the real thing in black from a distance. The only problem is when you get close to it, you will notice the cheap plastic they use! It must be true that this phone freeze up a lot and the paint peel off as all sales from operator to electronic shop advise me to back off from this model because of the aforementioned problems! I do not have the slightest clue as to weather these problems had been retified. I do hope so as I'm considering getting one since the price has dropped to a resonable level. I noticed there is a new color (matellic pearl white)on sale. This color may not look as sharp as the black one; cause you don't get as big a contrast as black with silver. On the other hand, the palstic in pearl white matellic does not look cheap anymore & they will hardly show finger prints! Recent Nokia phones' platform(S40/S60) font size are small but are shown big enough for comfortable reading because of the large 2.4" screen!

  • ok obviously we get the point that the chrome peels u gimps dont have to make 100 posts saying the same thing i have this phone, its the same 2mp camera in most nokias and when used in night mode they all get a greenish tinge with the photo! the video however is far far superior to my mates N80 if u want a flip phone and a nokia get this as it barely every hangs up and if it does for some of u i can only imagine what u are putting onto to make it do that as from the factory this phone has barely any problems great looking phone, as mentioned the battery life is a bit poor but if u do ure research u would already know that

  • yeh it does have real player

  • Hey, I'm planning to buy this phone but I was wondering if it has realplayer.

  • This phone looks disgusting!

  • Great phone. More tha 2 months and no peeling yet. It has freeze just twice in 2 months (is normal in any phone when too much things are done at the same time). Excelent external sound. Good radio signal just happens that it can be heard just when it�s plugged. No complaints at all.

  • Ive had this phone for less than two months..i saved up and this phone...but only after one month the paint has started to chip! As days go by, the paint chips off more and more...its looks so bad..DONT GET THIS PHONE..its a waste of money..and has a crappy camera!

  • tis phone let us so dissapoited..evrtime jam and Langging..tht camera gt problem aso..jz tht design is classic..stupid jz go 2 buy tis phone..lolx

  • this phone is just awesome!!!! superb and worth it!!!! nice looks,camera,memory, everything!! everything is just perfect!

  • Hey! I got my original N76 back from Nokia original repairing center. They replace new housings and update the software. 'Free of charge' as my phone is with Nokia Care agreement. About the new housings, no problems yet after 2 weeks of use. Software version was the same what I was using before repairing so no change to software problems. I notice that V30.0.015 software was released some days ago so I made an update to that and notice that there is also some unpleasant features on that. After pin code input, if you close the flip once phone is still starting, the whole system will be jammed and there is no any other way than take a battery out from the phone and restart that again. It is so funny to read these stories here about the how nice and good this phone is. Internet is full of pictures and comments from disappointed users how bad this product actually is. Use 5 minutes your time for this kind of study and you can realize how big mistake you are going to make if you buy this phone. I can send you a photos and video clips by an email from software bugs what I have found until now from this unit as well as hardware problems what this phone is having.

  • argh..just thinkin' bout this phone...but after all those comments...ahh~

  • can anybody guide me how to install the softwares with SIS extention. Most of the mobilephone softwares come with SIS extention i.e filename.sis. its camera is bit greenish and silver coated parts are peeled.

  • Ok guys ! what i can see ,many people experienced problems with this phone but well, i used the N76 since one month,there's no problem till now,no chrome peeling, no software error,i think that it depends on the way you use it coz this phone has not been made for sporty teenagers and careless users,and you must buy an original unit made in finland witch comes with a better casing to avoid chrome peeling coz nowadays we can even get nokia made in china but its not printed on, don't trust those on which you can read "MADE BY NOKIA" and don't buy units that cost half and sometimes a quater the price of an original one,the N76 actually on the market worth around 400USD

  • i really don kno wat to do with the chrome peeling and my camera is also not working properly it gives me a kind of greenish image really dissapointed i just spent thru my nose tats it no value for money phone

  • hw du i stop chrome peeling???

  • the coated silver part is not good... it always peeled byitself.

  • Once it starts peeling,it peels all the way so guys prevent it, coz it wont peel automatically unless U scratch it or use it roughly.

  • my phone always suddenly restarted on its own. sometimes, i already composed 2 pages of SMS and it hangs. and the SMS is not even saved as draft. chrome peelin g as well..

  • chrome peeling thing is so true ......

  • its very good , becuase the sund is good quailty

  • omg! my phone just broke down n i wantd to get a new one. after some research on internet, i decided tht n76 is great but after all these horrible comments, i think maybe i'll give it a second n third n fourth thought! lol.

  • I have bought this phone.. about 2 months.. but it never gives me any problem.. chrome peeling? No!!.. software issues? No!!.. so if someone there would like to buy this phne.. CONTINUE PLS.. it is really great.. 16 million colors screen!! very ideal.. and it is really great to hold.. when you close it.. it is super elegant.. my friends have bought their own units of this phone.. and whats more impressive is it's.. MUSIC QUALITY... Very crystal clear.. and no problem with battery.. umm.. what else.. OK.. pls.. this is a very very good, two thumbs up phone!!

  • Does anyone know if they fixed the peeling chrome issue?

  • ghassan u r damn right the same happens to me i've been waiting 6 weeks for my phone 2 be fixed bcoz of the silver thing ... huh still saying the parts didn't arrive i swear sony ericsson is 1000 better than nokia

  • i really am impressed with the features of the n76 but nokia seem to have forgotten not all users have great vision. is the font size in this phone changeable? or do they have the so-small-can't-read font size/

  • the sim card not reading is because you should try wiping it (the gold part) on a soft cloth

  • This phone is not only notable for its stylish slim design. But also it is a feature rich smartphone. It's not officially XpressMusic branded but its music capabilities beats even the explicit music phones out there from that lineup, even the N95. Look at this. It's got got the latest Symbian OS version and fastest processor (369 MHz), 3.5mm audio jack, dedicated music keys, latest Nokia Music Player interface, Stereo Bluetooth profile, and even supports the latest 4GB & 6GB microSDHC cards plus the upcoming 8GB one. So this phone, N76, is clearly a great music phone, even greater than the 5700 XpressMusic, N73 Music Edition & N95. The N95 has all the music features of the N76 and edging on its dual stereo speakers, but the N76 has better audio quality through the 3.5mm jack which clearly proves that it's music capabilities is it's selling point. As I've mentioned some of it's advanced multimedia and smartphone features I may not forget to say that it's all packed in a very slim and beautiful package.

  • its quite buetiful!! i like it!

  • i bought tis cell 3 mth ago,i'll bougth tis cell b'coz of d design moderm & elegant oth no comment.Starting using so far no any problem coz i only using for calling, rec cal, sms & camera only...Unluckly after using 3mth nightmare comming, 1)when using more than 1 mth, my cell sometime will automatic re-start, button no function ( press d button no respone & i need to off and start again ) . 2)d chrome peel off....very seriously I'm very dissapoited of tis model cell & until now i oso don know how to using d cell's function...=< i'm now decided change other brand like sony erison i think will much better than tis cell...

  • Do not buy this product, you are going to disappointed to this phone. Software is very unstable, even latest version from that. It will crash randomly, especially SMS application is having some problems. Chrome coating is peeling off after 1-2 week use. Camera functions are having some problems and sometimes you simply can not take pictures even camera is on and you can see the picture from the display. Software issue once again. Do not start to use camera straightly from the camera button, go to phone menu and start camera from there. Works more stable then. Battery life is hopeless short. My phone was sold by 2 batteries. There might be some reason behind of that... I could continue this list for many other problems what I have had with this low grade product but I'm going to stop to this now.

  • hi all,, i have n76 and its such nice phone and iam relly happy with it ..

  • i hope this phone becomes affordable..

  • NOKIA SHOULD RECALL EVERY N76 IN THE WORLD BECAUSE IT IS A PIECE OF SH----T. They should be ashamed to have such a product on the market. I have been complaining for 3 weeks to NOKIA in the middle east and they are sleeping overthere. If my phone was bought in the USA I would have SUED and WON by now.....Chrome peeling / phone reboots after a call/ phone will not stop ringing untill you remove the battery...I would like to pursue this against NOKIA and will never buy another NOKIA again even if it's FREE.

  • I sometimes get a blank screen when i want to take a pix with the open fold mode and the camera wldnt snap..can someone pls tell me whats wrong?what do i do next time i get that?

  • You want to buy this phone????? Can't you read the opinions, that the chrome peels off???? And the software does'nt work correctly...

  • m planning to buy a n76 n want it with the latest firmware. wat is the latest firmware shipped with n76??

  • ive had this phone for about 5 months and the silver just started peeling yesterday and the phone hasnt been working for 3 days i dont know whats wrong with it. it turns of every 10 seconds and i have to turn it back on its so annoying, anyone know whats wrong with it or what i should do?

  • Hi all,I got an N76 3 months ago and some of these problems cropped up.If anyone can help,pls help me.Thank you!!! My black model has the chrome of the sides peeling off!!! When I turn on the phone,the service provider on the phone says that there is no sim card and works offline automatically!!! The camera looks like it has something looking like a blot blocking out a small part of my photos,even when I put it to the maximum pixels of 1600x1200. The flip produces a creaky sound when I open it!!! I also cannot change the theme... What should I do now??? Pls help,someone!!

  • I just bought it yesterday.. for about USD429 and EURO302 i'll post any information if i find any problems.

  • I've had this phone 3 monthes. The chrome was peeling off. I gave it to the warranty service. The new chrome parts had peeled off one month later!!! So I brought the phone back to the shop, and became my money back.

  • why the color selver of that phone is aesy to remove i use 3 week the color is chance the color red ok is not change in my opion is not ok to buy

  • this is the best flip phone out don`t believe what they say about the chrome comin` off because i had this phone for like a month and it still looks new. The only problem i have with this phone is not able to use most of its functions like the gps and ptp and others so if you know how do use em please email me and explain it... thanks

  • this phone is good but battery life is bad . i think if you carry that phone N76 is working good for you .

  • the n series nokia phones now adays have very small fonts, i'd have to put on my eyeglasses everytime i read my text message. i have been so interested to get an n95 but the fonts' size couldn't be changed to larger ones, can the font size of the n76 be changed to larger ones?

  • trust these guys when they say that the silver part peels off.. just wait til yours peels off as well.. i never even dropped my phone. not once since i bought it.. but the silver part just peels off without even so much as a harm to it.. i swear nokia really pulled a bad one when they manufactured this phone. so far, the phone, the unit is okay. its it in tip top shape for me, just dont drop it or its gonna get laggy... and the silver part!!! it peeeeeels!! beware.. be careful.. so just get it g-masked or something of the sort.. ciao... or else youre getting a lousy looking phone sans the red part or black part

  • After half an hour of use, I have to return phone back to shop because of the malfunctioning hinge component. I got a new phone which has been a real nightmare. Software crashes has been a 'normal' daily stuff, phone does not remember date and time so every time when I power on this phone, I have to feed in correct time and date. I made an update for phone software but it does not help at all to these problems. Camera picture quality is a bad, I was not expecting to get such a bad camera quality from N series phone. Also camera button is very difficult to use because you need to press that button so heavily that you get phone shaken and this way picture will be blurred. After 26 days of use, I notice that phone chromed coated (or plated) areas start to wear off... Now this phone look so terrible, flip component outer surface chromed area under of the small display has been lost its coating and there is just a plain plastic visible anymore. I hope this unit is just a special case, otherwise this will be a real flop product for Nokia. I have to return this 2nd unit back to dealer and got a 3rd phone from there. Hopefully that is a little bit better than those two others.

  • Guys, before i get this phone i rode some comentaries about it, but was kinda dissapoingting to only see things like "Its a design copy of razr" or people what dont know how to treat things with soft care and got upset cause the phone has scratches, there were only a few commentaries that worth to be readed in like 50 pages, but then i decided to try this phone, and this is what i think of it. Design . well it indeed look like razr but hey that is not the real point, even tough is a bit big it looks amazing, very modern and elegant i like it a lot. Features . what to say, in this it is like the N95 in a lot of points, the screen looks extremely good, the little one with 256k colors look very cool, i also have to make a commentary about all the things that u can do with the phone when its closed, the buttons outside the phone help u with things like camera(u can use all the menus from the outside) the playlist for the people who like to hear music, check ur lost calls and also read mms and some more than i cant remember right now, its really nice to not to open the phone for all this things, what about the rest?, the menues and all, well it look like an n73 or any N series at the inside so ill not make any comentary about it (but hey all N series menues are easy to handle so they ar cool) Perfomance . well all the things on the phone work nice, the main problem could be the battery, but u can charge it like half hour or less and its completely full again. Cons . well when battery is low it start to work slowly or some bugs start to appear, the best is to turn it off and recharge it, that is what i have to say about the phone, im happy with it and i could recommend it to any person who might be interested on it.

  • to buy this phone i had to sell all my panties ,tooth brushes and my BMW 7 series .so i recommend to every1 becoz,to buy this phone io struggled a lot.

  • it`s overall a good phone good sound no 9.2 software till now but will come soon mobigenie official answering machine for n95 is said to be ok for n76,,nope..people say it freezes..yes if you install software not made for it//..like handy taskman..it froze or gave system error`s..tried another it worked ok..trecall made it freeze..that`s software prob`s..i like phones n80 uses all the software for 9.1..n95 some work and some don`t..n76 poor phone no one listen`s..but if good software is used i dont think it freezes atall..you want a call recorder an answering machine go for samsung sgh250..all built in..but if you want to make n76 as you want please check the software before you install..over all good earpiece good sound good phone bookgood looking ..well the battry lifes not that good but if your looking for a slim phone how do you expect a thin phone with a large battry...if used corectly the battry is ok.. well regard`s to all and cheer`s

  • Yes paint and plastic peels off See this:

  • bought this phone 3 weeks ago.. so far the chrome plating is still perfect. i guess that the chrome peeling depends on how the phone is used or protected. for me i use a case.. don't believe to users saying that the chrome peels off after a week.. go buy this fone.. this phone is a head turner... trust me.. :)

  • ive had this phone for about 4 months and none of the silver has came off like all of you have said. but it does freeze when i usually get a text and i push the buttons to many times on the front. so im liking the phone so far but i already want to new one.

  • This phones quality sucks. The silver finish on the phone is peeling away from the first day I got it. I cant believe Nokia did not pay close attetion to detail.

  • Silver colour panel is coming out and i am upset by this phone

  • 5ahg - actually if i got the chance to choose between razor and this phone ill go for this one exactly cuz no matter what bad stuff i told u about this phone the razors firmware suck more than this once ...

  • hey what is this gmark center n where is it ?

  • This phone is a disappointment. It is difficult to open. The software freezes up. It is not practical. If I had to choose between the Razr and another N76, the Razr would win out.

  • Lowest quality phone on sale....at whatever price!! AND this phone keep on hanging very often!!!

  • i love this fone.. It quite cool.. very girly..

  • HI NO COMMENT if you are looking for loudest sound and bass through speakers you have three options 1.nokia 73--it loud and full with all features but bit expensive. 2.nokia 5700- it is good in sound 16m colour screen 3.nokia-6233-- It is the loudest and the best quality sound phone i ever seen and best thing is that it not so expensive though not very good looking but have blasting speakers . Even better sound than n73 ,5700 and n91

  • Wifi is the ability to connect to the internet via Wireless Internet at your home or at a hotspot. This way, you dont need to pay your provider for the phone internet.

  • seems still have problem in its wall paper,i hate it.

  • N76 is such a very beautiful phone. It's the most stylish & best looking clamshell phone out there. I love its design so much. Pls if anybody can give me a Nokia N76, pls do email me. Thank you so much.

  • Hey guys,wassup? This is alright not bad as N95 but Now i prefer Sonyericsson They have some GREAT COLLECTIONS with supereb quality. I have to agree with hesh's comment DONT EVER BELIEVE NOKIA's COMPETITION coz its just a way to promote it's products. They always give prizes to slected regions & countries. This time they decided to give N76 to Italy not to other countries. Not a single phone to AUSTRALIA or UK. i also noticed that suddenly people came from nowhere & selected as winners. LETS STICK TO SONYERICSSON n teach nokia a good lesson. **** NOKIA, LOVE SONY

  • Hey guys & girls, Guys dont write comments after buying the phone & unpacking it. Use it see you'll find things like freezing, bugs, battery problems. If you know about technology stuff then you know how to get rid of it temporaly. If not i feel sorry. SPECIAL dont buy N95 my friend bought & now he hates it. I wanted to buy that too now i dont know what to buy. I'm thinking of Sonyericsson's W960. it looks SOO COOL.laters

  • hey guys plzzz..i like this phone badlyy.its shape is amazing..but when i read all these opinions i really felt blue:(..now am comparing it with k800i but i don like its shape.so can anyone advice me what to do but HONESTLY..thanx for ur care

  • this fon has the mixed looks of the earlier released model nokia 7200 which did not run along well in the market n the keypads of motorazr kind. a flap fon wid such features becomes like a hectic thing. i think it wud have been much better if the n76 was instead a sliding fon. in many newspapers n magazine articles the n76 has been criticised over havin the "chin" of motorazr fones. it seems as if nokia just launched this fon in an attempt to take over the market of the motorazr phones which have been on the rise ever since but still failed to do so.

  • n73????OMG!!!juz cant stand it s apperarance..so bulky!although it has 2 speakers..but..sorry la..n73 is so not in my list.so any latest hp models lately??dun mind sony though

  • ahmed shabrawi,,, thanks for answering my question,,, c",)

  • Although the price came down a quarter, no one(service provider sales, hugh electronic store sales) suggest me to buy this phone because of:- 1. This phone hang very often 2. The lousy build quality(peeling off is a good proof) & low quality plastic 3. Short battery life

  • yes the wall paper fits the whole screen and to any one who wants to buy this phone i say NO NO NO unless u wanna throw ur money away.....my advice is to buy nokia n73 instead....it has it all and even cheaper

  • mrkygy,,, thanks for your advice about making my own wallpaper in ownski.com but all i want to know is if it does fit in the whole screen,,, you didn't answer my question,,, no one answered my question,,, but i really appreciate your advice,, thanks anyway,,, but i really wanna know if it really does occupy the whole screen,,, that's only my concern,,, thanks again,,,, c",)

  • this phone is even beter than all n-series phone

  • Nokia screwed up a nice looking phone by using low quality material ... what a shame!

  • i wana know howz n76?wana buy it.. damn stylish..now im using w850i.louzy keypads.but good function though. HATE SONY

  • I bought this phone a months back, the processing of the phone is really fast, but the phone lacks build quality. My phone has been swaped just coz the chrome chipped off and facing the same prob again. I keep ma phone in the carryin pouch always & still facin the prob. Any suggestions how can i keep ma phone safer????

  • the phone is great but there is a problem with the silver parts that they pill off my phone did & i saw others also that have the same problem & the phone n76 is not cheap i paid 3000 egyptian pounds for it

  • Emofreak, If your concerned if your wall paper will fit the whole size on your phone's screen, why don't just make your wall paper as your theme. It's very easy to do. Just go to ownskin.com and create your own theme. Go visit the site and you'll know what I mean...enjoy!!! And oh, regarding this phone, i have one and my advice is put it in soft (vey soft) pouch since it's a finger print magnet. Use the pouch as a tool to wipe off you fingerprints/dirt :)

  • This phone does look quite nice in black from far away; but definately not up close because of the cheap plastic used. Encounter a lot of different problem with this phone. Nokia definately ruin an attractive design!

  • well i really don't mind if it wears off easily... i just wanna know if it is like 6280 that when you use your pic as your wallpaper does it occupy the whole screen or it's just like 6680??,,, pls answers my question,, thanks you very much,,, c",)

  • just like Bruce said the paint wears off for both colors.. its nice but alot of problems what what most noika have.. think about it if you really want to buy this phone.

  • hi guys,, i was wondering if anyone can answer my questions because im planning to buy one... >>when u use your picture to display as your wallpaper, how does it look like?? >>is it like 6280 when you use ur picture as the wallpaper?? pls kindly answer this,,, because i'm planning to buy this on october,,, your reply will really be a good help to me,,, thanks,,, c",)

  • i regret buying this phone. i only got it 2mths ago and it keeps shutting off by itself. no use sending to nokia service centre because its still the same. plus the silver coating peels off easily.i hate it im gona sell this stupid hp for samsung u700.

  • hey guys i've just bought this phone now it seems great to me but i don't know why the phone comes with no games no wallpaper 'n ... it works perfect but the lack of some features reelly feels 1.the camera doesn't have autofocus maybe cos the phone is very thin 2.the phone really work as a fingerprint collector 'n you must allways have a tissue to clean the phone especially if you'had eaten sthing, 3.opening the fold with one hand is really impossible. 4.and at last the pc siute software that come with a cd in da phone package doesn't work and my pc doesn't recognise the phone through USB.so i use my computer bluetooth after 1 week i love the ohne cose it reallyatract the eyes bye

  • hey guys n gals this IS da hottest phone in town,ITS SOFTWARE IS AWSOME,it never stucks in any thing.gprs speed and browsing is amazing.In short its da best phone i ever had. da only bad thing is chippering off of its silver covering,but that can be tolerated if you take a look at da good things

  • ******************************** NOKIA's Competitions to promote it's products & fool customers ******************************** Nokia was conducting a online promotion to advertise it's products with the name of COMPETITION. but it decided to give prizes to selected regions only. Example :Italy, UK, Poland etc. Suddenly it introduced few strangers as winners of the competition on 22 Aug 2007. reliable informations says that nokia has selected the winners without considering public voting.They are just collecting ideas for designs from us & then they give prizes to selected regions.. Jeez so many guys from italy & none from UK,america & australia. They want our design coz they are DUM...I agree with behonest's comment My sister has this phone and she is so not happy with it's perormance. She waited for a good phone and ended up with this crap phone. she had a choice buy sonyericson K810 or N95 and she went for this but now she has regrets. if you look carefully material is not Good. body has a feeling of a cheap phone. You guys should think twice or thrice before you buy this phone. may be this has some features but its not worth for the price you pay for this. You can get BETTER quality products from other brands for cheaper price. for the balance money you can buy a GPS or camera to full fill your needs. K810 and its latest K850 have High Class body finishing & they have good features like camera with real flash, High quality mp3 player etc. You go to a shop and take Nokia & Sonyericsson in your hands and then decide. "Good products dont need promotion they have customers reviews" you know what i mean..take care guys..Good luck with your phone buying Pros: I dont want to waste my time for this coz i dont think there is one. Cons: you to find

  • Hi all, i have had this phone about 3 weeks and not had any of the problems stated by other users. There was one comment about vodafone UK not stocking this anymore. When i spoke to my friend at voda when i got mine he said nokia has sorted out the problems and there were going to restock them, hence why i got mine, fantastic little phone, never froze up etc... wondering if nokia had sorted them out

  • despit of hanging or restarting, i still like this phone. i just went to the nokia web site and got the firmware updated to 20.0.041. it is getting better. So i just don't know why people trash this phone in this forum. if they don't like it, just don't buy and select different phone at his or her will.

  • hey all, i want to ask those who got n76, do u find the image quality bad or is there something wrong with my phone?? the pictures are dominated by green .. i tried to change white balance but still the image remains so bad.. please answer me

  • Good day everyone, just a view comments regarding this nice phone. I've mine since 4 days and in fact it hangs up means shut down ans restart again it self without introdusing pin code. But after have found on Nokia website that they did a firme update for this phone. After upgrade new firmware eveything works fine and believe me battery stays long as before. Go on this link: or Before you upgrade the firmware do a full back up via your PC Suite then upgrade it. On this way you don't loose your contacts/agenda etc. Hope it helps some of you. Cheers

  • Im a Nokia Nseries lover...But when I bought the Nokia N76 Im fee dissapointed of it...Because its mirrored steel cover can be easily peeled...

  • this phone is great i love it,i didnt buy it yet but i absolutely lov it,i hope one day to buy it,thnx nokia your making great phones

  • Heyy every1 its a really nice fone n the color is a bit weird.. btw i jus need 2 ask if u can delete numbers from the Log Randomly.. I Hope som1 reply :)

  • Thank you for your comments. After finding out how bad the quality of the n76 is I would have regreted the day I even looked at it. Browsing the site I also fund another phone that I like the sony P1, the only thing i didn't like about it was the 256k color screen I have never had a 16M color screen before is it really of that much importance or can it render any type of picture? Thanx again

  • Its totally c**p DO NOT BUY!! Loads of problems freezing and very slow restarts itself. I have had 4 of these and evryone has the same problem.

  • This is a beautiful device, has lots of applications possibilities, its fast to navigate trough the menus... but 700mAh BATTERY??????? PLEASE!!!!! five calls 4 minutes length and 1 hour of music playback (30min way to your job and 30min back home) and you ran out of battery. 24 hours autonomy. Shame!!!!!

  • The only good thing about this phone is the speed... other than that... specially the casing,.... you'll just be wasting your money for this one. Go with other Nokia model like 6110 navigator which a tad bit cheaper than this plus you get a GPS with your phone, dual speakers as well.

  • I am considering getting an N76 but there are so many people complaining about the painting. Nokia say that it is now fixed. Is this true for the newer N76's? or do you have to wait until you get a re-coat on the colour of the phone or is all this just made up to make people buy the phone. Basically is the colour job still bad or should I end up buying a motorola maxx?

  • well... i saw on youtube a review of N76 and looks great and has friendly operations. i really disappointed when u says that the chrome area could peel and suddenly turn off. I have intention to buy this phone but my doubt is if Samsung i320 could be better than N76...

  • im looking to purchasae the n76 but im looking on some info so ne1 with the phone please help..Is the Phone Durable? and is the external speaker loud?.. and also it doesnt look comfortable on your ear, is it? Thanks

  • by the way i didn't like the image quality (main camera), its all dominated by green i wish nokia would find a solution for the peeling problem, like replacing the chrome cover with something more persistent.. although my mobile didn't peel yet, maybe because im taking too much care of it.. i've herd many people said they're facing this problem..

  • hey all, I recently got nokia n76 red from 2 weeks ago, i really like the aspect and the features as well, so far it has never peeled.. but i really got disappointed when i found out that it turns off all of a sudden. As for the secondary camera, i was so much glad that finally i would be able to see myself in the image before capturing lol, but i got so disappointed as it's just a video call camera, the image quality wasn't as good as i expected.. now am thinking to sell it and buy nokia 3250 pink.. i think this mobile has got the best camera ever... what do u think??

  • this side you will find what i found about this phone which i get since to weeks ago this is abad phone for more inf. 002020101760622 thanks

  • Stay away from this phone. Peeling bad just in few days I bought.

  • I am a Nokia Lover. But I was very disappointed from N76. The functionality of the phone is great and works great. The quality of the phone is extremely bad. As everyone talk about the chrome Pills very simply and it has also software problem. Mine keep reset by itself and some times I need to be so patient before can use the phone. As result of these problem for first time start looking others manufactures phone such as for sure Motorola. After looking the one really interest me was RAZR2 V9 but not here yet so I bought the RAZR-AXX V6 in main time waiting for V9. I am very happy with it but waiting to fix N76 cover and sell it. Do not buy N76. Take my advise.

  • Well... im a little confuse about this phone. All posts saying that is peeling and bla,bla,bla... Which is the best: Samsung i320 or Nokia N76.

  • Hey people I've had this phone for a while now, and I must say I'm surprised many of you think it's lousy. Nothing ever peeled, nothing ever hanged, nothing! It's just a good old Nokia, ever reliable, nice camera, average battery life. Has any of you bashers ever even used this phone? Bear in mind that sometimes certain shipments are faulty, but that doesn't mean the model sucks! I do think it's a bit too thin for my taste (I was more used to bulkier models) and it took me some time to get used to the keypad, but then it all ended well. Cut the poor phone some slack, people.

  • Wait 3-6 months??? Between 3-6 months, there will be so many new phones coming onto the market, and this N76 will be out of fashion by then.....!!!

  • The stimuli that has brought this article here is the avalanche of messages suggesting the Nokia N76 has a casing especially exposed to wear and tear. The silver coating peels off to unsheathe bare plastic, so the handset loses its salable condition in no time. For something that costs 500-550 Euro (in Russia), this is a disgrace. Nevertheless, we have decided not to shoot from the hip and look into the roots of the problem, collect statistics on returns, learn about the reaction of service centers, distributors and the vendor himself. One of our readers lent us his unit that had lost its charm in two weeks� time. In the photos below you can see how worn the chrome plates have become, as well as the edge, so now the black chassis is on the surface. This holds true both for red and black editions of the N76 � the only difference is that the red-colored units tend to lose pieces of paint all round the casing, while the owners of the latter variant won�t experience this issue. Last week Nokia�s service centers received a bulletin with a rundown of the problem, stating that this case is covered by the warranty and replacement of faulty parts should be free of charge. As of today, there are loads of spare parts available, so no shortage is expected in the near term. So, is this a really wide-spread disease, or all we do now is making a mountain out of a molehill? According to our sources, this defect applies to nearly all Nokia N76 produced up until this day, and it has much to do with faulty parts supplied to the manufacturer, however the worst thing about it is that the spare parts delivered to service centers are no different. This means, that servicing your unit will merely bring you a temporal relief. In light of this fact, some European carriers have already discarded the model, specifically, the N76 is no longer available for purchase in the UK from Vodafone, as they took it off all price-lists on June 20 � no official statements have been made by the carrier as yet. But the rumor has it that Vodafone has returned all unsold units to the vendor � this point of view is explained here. What does this mean to Nokia? Being one of the NSeries flagships, the N76 is currently promoted on the market at full tilt � in most regions, including Russia, the company runs with aggressive outdoor ads, you can see commercials on TV, learn about the handset from radio broadcasts. Basically, the phone is all around. Have these advertising activities boosted the sales of the N76? Make no mistake about that. In Russia they sell not less than 4 thousand units a month (MRG data, July, 2007), which is a decent figure for this type of handset. As the advertising campaign heats up, the sales will at least double, which brings about a dangerous case. Who normally goes for these phones? Women � with fistful of cash, own mentality and style, those who have got used to a certain level of quality. For the most part, this audience is loyal to Nokia and recognizes it as a manufacturer of top-notch gadgets. What happens when you get paint-related issues or reveal other defects � we will focus on this a bit later. But for now, what the first reaction to this will be? Obviously, the owner will come to a conclusion that Nokia�s quality is no longer as superb as it used to be, so he or she might consider switching to some different brand, morphing from a loyal consumer into the opposite category. Being unofficial �opinion leaders�, these people might also have a negative impact on Nokia�s image. However it won�t be the end of the world � previously the Nokia 8210 was in similar distress with its faulty display, but back then the vendor easily made it through. You shouldn�t dramatize the situation � after all, it is not the whole company, it is one single model. The tricky aspect here is that the N76 is a relatively popular and aggressively advertised offering. Withdrawing this device from the market would be an unbearable price for the vendor to pay � rectifying this issue in service centers is way cheaper. The company�s reputation will take no fatal blows � Nokia has already suffered from this defect to a certain extent � what is really important to do is prevent similar cases from breaking out across the company�s portfolio. We rarely recommend our readers to refrain from buying some handsets, however in the case with the Nokia N76, these flaws apply to all units, and what is more, there are no non-defective parts available in service centers. That�s why there isn�t much sense in picking this phone, unless you are willing to get over its decaying looks (which is the foundation of any fashion phone). We also went to service centers to find out what problems the Nokia N76 had and what the main warranty claims were. And the figures we got for July were quite interesting � although this statistics is by no means representative or covers all regions, but the diagram below does give some clues on what�s going on. As you can see, the casing quality is by far not the most crucial defect. However, this doesn�t automatically mean it is non-existent � the fact of the matter is that faulty handsets normally arrive at service centers a tad later and since the Nokia N76 started shipping early in June, many units with this flaw haven�t been reported as yet. The statistics is also interfered by other defects typical for all models � displays, software, which are pretty much par for the course. But what is really important here, is the share of plastic-related issues, indirectly indicating the mass character of this defect. We asked the Russian headquarters of Nokia to shed some light on the situation. Maxim Pavlov, Nokia�s Service Manager in CIS countries, comments: �We are aware of the issues with certain casing components in the Nokia N76. All authorized Nokia�s service centers have been notified that the warranty does cover this defect of the Nokia N76. Nokia is seriously concerned about the quality of own products and we are doing everything possible to improve the situation around the Nokia N76. All service centers have enough details at their disposal, so the repair time will be minimal�. We, on our part, decided to examine the reaction of retailers. Most distributors have already come across returns of the N76, but unlike the service centers they haven�t been notified by Nokia. As the result the market is still confused about this issue. In the vast majority of retail networks you can replace a faulty unit within two weeks, given that you have an opinion letter from a service center stating that the defects you have encountered stem from the production flaws. Many retailers meet consumers halfway and replace their units without a letter from a service center (but give refunds very rarely). Regrettably, the service centers usually refuse to give opinion letters reasoning that with lack of experience, obscure forms etc. � but in fact, this is a direct violation of the law and you can insist on getting a letter, should a conflict situation arise, to get your money back from the retailer you bought the unit from (which is possible with this letter in hands). For example, one of M-Video stores features both a brand-new Nokia N76 and a returned unit with paint defects, whose price tag has dropped all the way down to 350 USD (against 760 USD for a new device). None of the vendors can possibly avoid flaw in production cycles. Unfortunately, Nokia ran into them with one of its key offerings. In our opinion, being aware of such flaws you should refrain from buying this device; or, in case you already own one, wait about 3-6 months until defect-free spare parts arrive and only then call at the nearest service center. Although this is a very rough time span, taking account of mass returns in all regions and lack of high-quality parts there days, it is unlikely that Nokia will be able to sort it out faster. And if you can�t stand waiting, then you can easily return your unit, replace it, or get a refund. P.S. P.S. Nobody is perfect, therefore this global issue with the Nokia N76 is not the reason to stand up and proclaim that all Nokia-branded handsets retain similar problems. Please, be more reasonable in your judgments.

  • i've had this phone for about a month ( i think) and so far so good. i'm used to the keypad now and the silver thing isn't peeling off (and I hope it won't).. but somehow, i like the front camera of my previous n80 more than the front camera of this n76, it's kinda blurry wen taking pictures..

  • TO E3V{... If you are not very careful in handling this phone, then don't buy this coz of aesthetic problems Nokia is having now with this unit. Nonetheless, you will be bugged by lots of hangs ups and restarts with this phone as stated by my friend who is a seller in Greenhills, Philippines that who bought this phone traded it later for another model. More and more 2nd hand units are now being sold in Greenhills because of this problems.

  • am planning to buy this unit,... what can you say,...should i?

  • Nokia is no doubt a user friendly cell phone. My previous cells were mostly nokia. But with great dissapointment and frustration, I have to state that the Nokia N76 was a total faliure!! The phone simply hung on the very first use... which was repaired... and believe it... it hung on the second time too. I strongly WOULD NOT recommend any body to purchase this set.

  • To pEaK : Doubt what you said! ... If Nokia found the solution fixing the peeling problem, they should/would have already announce a recall on all N76 phones cause this kind of defect is a big damage to the Nokia name & it's top position & share price & market share etc. etc. ........

  • NOTE: The replacement silver trimming that Nokia will give you under warranty is DIFFERENT. Logically, the replacement is of more durable quality. Why would Nokia replace a "defective" part with the exact same???. I had mine replaced. No more chippping/peeling !!!.

  • I agree to what you have said. Nokia Center/Care will replace your chipped off expensive N76 unit under warranty with a new casing but definitely, it will wear also after several months. What will happen if the warranty is over?? Definitely, you have to pay for the replacement, else, trade your phone for another model. Crystal casing is a temporary solution, the friction between the crystal and the paint of N76 will also serve as a peeling off mechanism to your unit. Unless.... a third party company will make a cheap plastic alternative and an expensive steel/titanium solution... if there is such. Shame on the makers of N76! You consider this to be part of your exclusive N-series phones?!?

  • Yes, Nokia will replace it under warranty, but you have take it back again for another replacement in a very short time.......THIS IS ANNOYING & IS NOT SOLVING THE REAL PROBLEM WITH QUALITY DEFECT!!!

  • That meant to say peel, not prrl! lol, sorry

  • Hello If anyone is experienceing paint prrl on the front cover, Nokia will replace it under warranty for you.

  • Hey users of this phone, Have you thought about buying a crystal clear case for this, at least it reduces the peeling to some level, i heard a private company wants to take the challenge of making titanium stell case for this phone as a third party hardware, they'll still maintain both colours with the chance of adding more colours should it be a success.

  • ive always had nokia phones and i have to seriously say shame on you nokia for making such a crap phone!!! Ive had nothing but problems since day one and couldnt elf my phone in the first 30 days as i had to wait for a replacement but never recieved one. Its now been more than 30 days so i have to return the phone to nokia care centre and wait for it to be repaired and be without a phone. It has peeled, keeps freezing and turns off randomly. I think this will be the last nokia i purchase.

  • Hang yourselves... I love this phone.. Gr8 Looks.. I am not a serious user of vide.. Still i enjoy those zooms and close up shots.. Finally a manly Flip on Black.. Guys.. Dont listen to these critics.. All are nuts, expecting more than a mobile from a mobile!!

  • Im a guy who charges his phone everynight anyway..i dont ever use my phone as a camera...The simplified sympian is awesum....mine hasnt lagged.....i only use the phone to call n recieve calls coz txting is annoyng.....this must be one of the most classiest phones released..... even the 8800's dont come close in terms of looks and practicallity....so all u critics who dont really do their research b4 purchasing a new handset and seein if its suitable for u or not....u r truly among the smartest ppl.

  • It's such a bad phone......shame on you Nokia! The build quality is garbadge!!!

  • i had this phone since 2 weeks ago, it's good but not as much as that i thught!!! Do you know that we can use internet since our mobile connect to pc and use internet?

  • I love this phone. I wish Nokia can gift me FREE.

  • am using this N76...its so cool man...by the way..where can i find the software which perfectly compatible with this N76 model???

  • Look is quite nice in black. Plastic used is of low quality. Peel off problem is also a sign of low quality material & insufficent development testing. Battery life terrible. This phone is kind of big. Clamshell not user friendly & is not Nokia's specialty(Motorola still make the best clamshell phones). ...But, Nokia does produce the best slider phone represented by the top lin 8600 LUNA(The slider so smooth & the phone so solidly well made)

  • 1.Its a great phone when it comes to functionality as well as looks. 2.the 2MP camera is great if you redefine the settings for picture taking and whoa you'll get a good responsive camera. 3.The clamshell screen is good too & u can use the camera through it even without opening the clamshell. 4.Its is pretty light for a smartfone with Symbian OS 9.2 with zero lagging issues. 5.I have used many clamshell phones by motorola, and sony but none can beat n76 in functionality and looks. **Battery life for n76 is best as compared to the other clamshell phones by other companies 6.Its a steal for its price. 7. 9/10 is what i'll rate it :) **Only flaw is that the metal coating near the keypad may peel off after frequent use, but it is under warranty by nokia and you can get the handset replaced for any hardware issues.

  • Return phone and get another one just like it and the paint will peel off as well. They haven't fixed the problem. Nice looking accessory or paperweight but not practical or even functional. They might have claimed to fix the hanging problem with software updates, but doubtful. It's too much technology crammed into a small area.

  • The Peeling problem on the silver is in Warranty! All of you with peeling problems take them back and ask for replacement... free of charge!

  • Can someone PLEASE tell me how to get the bloody radio from starting on my N76 phone and how to get the damn thing off once it's on the outer screen? It's doing my head in... HELP!!!

  • i just got this phone with vodafone a little under a week ago and i have to say it is a very nice phone as for comments on the pictures having a green tinge, this is quite normal for photos taken at night, my mate has the N80 and thats how his photos have always looked i new before i bought this phone that the camera and battery life werent that great, but if any1 who is whinging about this didnt read an article about the phone before u got it, u truly are the only ones to blame i find if u use the music player allot and text at the same time u will burn up the battery, but being an N series most have to be charged every second night anyway with its features being so battery hungry. its true though, its hard to hear people when using this phone, its not so bad when u are in a place where there is moderate noise but when u go out i do have troubles hearing, i have to try really hard to understand the other person overall i do like the phone, i jsut wish it wasnt awkward to talk on and the sound in covnos was better, but otherwise i would highly recommend it

  • it is very good in all except the silver paint around the numbers pads gone , and i could not find a spare part in any Nokia shops this mobile is with me for only one month and the said silver plate has gone. Thank you Rokaya sultan

  • Absolutely NO problems with my new N76. I've had it for over 1 month now. The silver started to peel off but when I took it to Nokia Service Center, they gladly replaced it under warranty with a new one which doesn't peel off. Minor problem which was fixed/replaced with no hassle. Mine doesn't hang but I was told by Nokia Service that if ever I do experience this, to simply bring it in for a FREE software upgrade which is also under warranty. So I wonder what the big hoopla is here????. If your unit has a problem then just bring it in for service!!! Its a beautiful phone! :)

  • Vodafone UK have withdrawn ALL N76's due to a high returns rate, high levels of software faults have prompted this, we all know that with nokia this is a common grey area, so why this handset?? the N95 had so many faults... as did the N73... My guess is that the UK market doesnt really like Clam style phones anymore... With the others (N95 & N73) they returned them but wanted the same ones back. But this was not the case with the N76 nearly all of our customers wanted a different phone... The N76 was nokias real failure for our market and lets face it... it is a little on the large side as well!

  • GOOD NEWS !!! If you are experiencing any hanging or re-starting problems with your N76 AND OR Are experiencing the silver coating peeling off your N76 ....This is covered by Nokia Waranty. Just take your N76 to any Nokia Service Centers worldwide with proof or purchase or warranty card.

  • I got the n76 for a month now and i have to say that i'm impressed :) i'm a nokia user but I had major freezing problems and very low battery life so i had to switch.. I got this phone as gift and i have to admit no more freezing but the battery life is still a problem.. i guess if you try to keep it on meeting and turn off the vibrate mode it would help the battery last longer thats all you can do.. but overall its one of the best n series phones :) but the camera doesn't measure up to the 2 mp standards

  • I've got the black/silver version for about 2 weeks now. I really like it. It is a fashionphone so don't expect to much of it. Batterylife is quite poor, and the camera doens't shoot lovely pictures as well. But when you pull it out of you pocket when you receive a call, ppl are looking what phone is that and thats worth the money for me. I've got a Nokia E50 besides my N76 and several other phones. But i do like my N76!

  • My dad got me nokia n76 from dubai and i really liked it. it has one major problem. when i call or receive any call i can't hear people but they can hear me well. i have to use my headsets to use the fone. the loudspeakers work fine too. i dont know how to fix it it is brand new and i didn't buy it here, i got it as a gift. so i dont know if i get help for free at the nokia stores.

  • My nokia n76, the clamshell is lose already man, and when I gonna take pictures sometimes the camera wont even on it.

  • nokia always change hardware if have problem. nokia product is too good until almost one shipping, 30% of the product need to return back repairs. Anyway the Nokia marketing is Good but who care if the customer bring back the phone to repair twice in a month.If who get this trouble i think is already change other product. N76 red/black with silver side. The silver side will remove colour. take a good care for your Mobile

  • Horrible is not the word....Just bought it a week back...i click pictures they come with a green tint....hangs in between...and the only option is to restart, music player stalls at times, only option again is to take of the battery and restart. finallu i had to return it to the dealer, who says nokia is trying to fix the problem, almost 2 weeks over and nikia has not done their job of fixing the problem

  • Battery life is terrible! I charged it for over 1 whole day, and the cell phone only lasted 30 hours or so. I only made one 40 min phone call and other calls are short. Didnt use music or anything else. Does anyone else have trouble with the battery? Isnt Nokia phone supposed to have great battery life?

  • hey its nice to have this one, user friendly fone

  • its a cool gadget man

  • whne u turn on the music player u can exit it an send messages or whatever u wanna do an it will stillplay except on phone calls

  • JAMES... The music player is always on backround. Don't worry

  • elooo can sumwun hus got the fone tell mee how many messages the fone can save on there. =]

  • I just bought a nokia n76 in red. it's really slim for a clamshell and it's screen resolution is a lot better than my n80. I'm a girl, and I love the fact that the front screen acts a mirror. hehe. I don't like the keypad that much, it's kinda hard to text, but i'll get used to it. And it is prone to fingerprints. I'm just praying that the silver chrome won't scratch off. I bought it for Php21,700 (pesos)

  • I just sold a new N76 and it looks like an amazing phone as far as the features go. However, the compartments for memory card sim card and usb cover have a cheap feel to them and don't seem to fit right.

  • "music player constantly runs in background" - what does it mean because i am not good in english. It runs by it's own or what

  • Whati is the size of the display in mm?

  • is this phone suitable for girls?

  • Hello all , i am planning to buy this phone .pls let me know is this good option or i should go for motorola

  • hey guy, i heard enought blaim about nokia n76, i just bought this phone, but! i don't have any problem so far, my n76 work great, never hangs never restarted, and the batter last very long for me, i played music and conneting internet take about 5 hours to run out the battery, maybe i the lucky one, thank you nokia the make this phone,
