Nokia N70 or N72

sriharsha_madineni · 09-09-2006, 06:32 PM

Which of these is a better phone N70 or N72?

Pathik · 09-09-2006, 07:09 PM

For me n70

09-09-2006, 08:35 PM

I think that N72 is better. It has better looks (atleast thats what i think) and only lacks superfluous (read useless in india) features like 3G, WCDMA/UMTS, video calling, front camera that the N70 has. And it is also cheaper than N70. Thus its also represents good value for money, more so than N70.

N70 rocks than N72...It got much features n functions than N72.Looks solid n sexy.Gives u more speedy internet conn.Users of N70 r more than N72 in India etc. etc. etc.

n72 sux, it has got a very small keypad, plus looks like keypad is a sticker, camera shutter (or watevr its called) is very loose, easily opens up...

n70 is good... go for it!!

reddick · 14-09-2006, 09:33 PM

Yeah...i'm going to give d same views for N72

abhijit_reddevil · 15-09-2006, 04:17 PM

Can anyone give me the latest price of Nokia N70?

abhijit_reddevil · 15-09-2006, 04:38 PM

I want to buy a phone next month. I want the following:

-2MP camera
-262k screen color
-GPRS
-Bluetooth
-Infrared
-FM radio
-MP3 player
-Headset

My budget is around 15-16k. I have heard that the N70 and N72 can fall into that price range and has all the above features. Can anyone confirm the price? And if given a choice between only N70 and N72, which one should I buy?

What are the prices of the other N-series phones?

Any other choices in this price range with the above features?

Thank you.

N72-15k
N70-17k
N71-19k
N73-23k approx.
N90-22k
N91-25k
N80-27k approx.
N93-29k.
Go for N70 if you can stretch your budget. Otherwise go for N72. I'll also suggest Nokia 3250 as it falls in your budget and has all the features that you want. It costs 15k.

mehulved · 15-09-2006, 06:18 PM

Another phone in that range would be Sony Ericsson W810i. Perfectly fits the description. This will be a good buy unless you really want a symbian phone.
I don't know how much will 3250 cost but that's another phone that you can look at.

Kenu · 15-09-2006, 06:35 PM

N72 is a better buy ... Just buy the N72, forget N70 forget second camera which has no-use.

Pathik · 15-09-2006, 06:36 PM

n70

sam_1710 · 15-09-2006, 07:15 PM

N70 is a better option....
mee too was confused wid da two.... finally settled wid N70 ....(got it last week for Rs.16900/-)

abhijit_reddevil · 15-09-2006, 09:52 PM

Thank you everyone for your inputs. Today I enquired about the price of both N70 and N72 and was qouted a price of Rs.15400 for the N72 and Rs.16k something for the N70.

@tech_your_future: what are the prices of SE W810i and Nokia 3250? Does these have all the features that I have mentioned?

mehulved · 15-09-2006, 10:23 PM

I am not sure of the prices but W810i has all the features. If I remember right, 3250 doesn't have Infrared but I don't really see much use of it cos of bluetooth, maybe you have some reason for it.
You can just check up for these phones and compare them on www.gsmarena.com

Hey .. last month my friend took me to mkt for same reason, I told him to buy N72 bcoz its better value for money. ..but he took n70 instead, ha ha ..regretting now he is saying that he should have taken n72 n saved 900rs, for virtually same phone.

as for some other phones .. u can have 3250,w810i, or w700i, D820 or E730.. you can try these.. too all good phones, 3250 has a little software problem..but a good phone

<N70 vs N72> .. I would suggest you N72 .. Its new .. looks sort of better than n70, performance compartively better, FM Stereo, 2MP are all there. n72 has a 128MB Mini-SD-Card .. so if you change to another phone it can be used with future N-Series phone.(think about it)

Regards

And so in case of N70/N72, will I get a memory card? Please tell the capacity. And how much does, say a 512MB/1GB (if available) card cost?

reddick · 16-09-2006, 07:18 AM

Search before asking...Their r upto 5-6 topics been discussed earlier abt N-series n price list

Anyway u shud go for N70...It ROCKS than N72

sam_1710 · 16-09-2006, 09:42 AM

dont get nokia 3250... it lacks da 'FLASH' which is an essential.. and also the pics taken from dat camera have no clarity...seems to have lot of noise...!!!

16-09-2006, 10:18 AM

N70/N72 only come with a 64mb dv rs mmc. 512mb costs 650 and 1gb costs 1100 in mumbai. Btw nokia 3250 comes with a 512mb micro-sd. I'll suggest you go for 3250. It has a better music player, louder speaker, 3.5mm slot to connect your own headphones, and comes with a 512mb card. At 15k i think its a good deal. If you like sonyericsson you can check out the w810i which comes at a similar price.

Pathik · 16-09-2006, 10:45 AM

leave the rs dv mmcs out of the discussion cos they r too cheap now.... btw n70 is defi better than n72 cos its got 3g so is future proof.....

@pathiks do you really think that our indian telecom companies will bring 3g to india in the next couple of years. I don't think so. These people are all show and no go. They can't even provide us with decent gprs connection leave alone provide 3g. Even if they do they will charge a fortune for it similar to what they did to gprs back when it was launched. I for once would love to be proved wrong by our telecom companies on this matter. But something tells me they wont.

If u read carefully i mentioned that. ok N70 has MMC-Mobile 64/128MB depend on location. N72 has new memory card, like in N-80, thats why I said it can be plugged into other Nseries phones too, its Mini SD Card... as for in delhi they are giving 128MB with the pack.
for more .. try the Transcend (www.transcendusa.com) or Kingston(www.kingston.com) only no other.

Exactly

... 3G is not coming to india any sooner .. forget it guyz .. even its not launched in any big city in India yet .. even not in anyother big city in the world. How can we expect it to comeout all over india .. when no testing or something taking place in delhi or chennai.
@krazyfrog .. you are right they are not able to provide the good gprs here.
every where u get only 4KBps download speed ... even though AirTel claims that they have EDGE in delhi..

Has anyone used the front camera on 6680, N70, N73 .. I guess not.
If not then why you pay for extra camera .. which u will never use.
Now forget the 3G part..for now

mobilegeek · 16-09-2006, 01:41 PM

@digitized .. if u ask the same question in another hread u will get same reply.
