The good: Flip-out keyboard; clear screen; integrated wireless LAN and 3G; supports VoIP calls.

The bad: Joystick is very fiddly; shift key hard to use; battery life average.

The bottom line: If you're after a business phone that doesn't look entirely like a brick, then the Nokia E70 is an excellent choice.

slow processor, quirky to use, breaks all the time

Jul 11, 2007

Rating: 3 out of 10 (Poor)
Pros: screen resolution
Cons: too many. Slow to open contacts - over 10 seconds
Opinion:
I actually waited for this phone and the fold out keyboard to replace my 6820. I was disappointed very quickly with weird things like how slow it is to open contacts, poor connection functionality, can't edit music playlists easily or intuitively. Also kept breaking, this past year spent over 2 months at Nokia shop. Just got a new one under warranty but it seems to still have the same problems.

My advice, buy something else.

Pros: Screen, QWERTY, WIFI, BT, EDGE, Battery, Camera nice
Cons: Joystick flimsy, case creaks
Opinion:
I travel around Thailand and blog via phone. I use my Nokia e70 as a modem to connect with my notebook and when I can find EDGE service it's quite acceptable for uploading photos and even movies under 10MB. I have downloaded up to 40MB files using this phone. I usually use the cable, but it has bluetooth which has come in handy when the cable had been left at home.

This phone is very stable for the operating system. I've shut it off and rebooted only twice when it stuttered too long. I've not lost data at all in the 3 months I've owned it. WIFI is great when I find it, and it also can be set up for VOIP and chat programs. I use this phone primarily for grabbing photos and short video clips to put on one of my

 

Good Business Phone

Jan 10, 2007

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: BB functionality on a Nokia.
Cons: Battery life...by Nokia standards.
Opinion:
Good replacement for BB users as it a Nokia. Always easy to use with no surprises. Battery life could be improved.
