How's N70 ??????

[supernova]

Share ur experience pal..

[apoorv.sharma]

Apologies everyone!!!...for such a late response...was extremely busy these past few days...din get time to write any "review"...ANYWAY, so here goes...
The phone's pretty much worth its value...its extremely fast compared to other nokia symbian phones (not the E50 tho...thts the fastest till date!)...since i got the Music Edition, got the 1GB card with the phone itself, so i can store plentyyyyyy of songs (have 200 or so already and too tired to put more)..of course im compressing them first into "ogg" format and then using another software to run them...
Sound quality of the earphones is amazing!!!!....and yes, u get the converter wid the phone itself, so u can always use any other earphones if u need...
yet to experiment too much wid installing softwares on the phone, but the ones ive tried till now are running pretty smooth...
Last but not the least, the camera(s)...excellent quality here too..compared to other phones (especially sony which kinda distorts the picture..prolly stretches it artificially or somethin)...the pics with this one (the 2MP one) are really decent...pretty sharp...
Videos are a charm too!!!....check out the sample videos available online if u dun believe me...givin a sample one here...

Oh yes, the black cover is sexy too!!! ...(everyone knows black stuff is better!...lolzzz )

Overall, im extremely satisfied with my purchase and hoping this one lasts a long time ....goin crazy wid the camera (photoblog productions hav already begun! )...

Thanks to everyone out here who helped me make this wonderful choice..u guys are the best!...especially "Kalpik" who was the main motivator for this (btw, he owns a N70 himself!...hehe...)

Cheers!

actually the n70 is very fast...
u just feel the lag in opening menus and stuff cos it was done b7y nokia on purpose to enhance the graphical aesthetics of the fone... btw 4 how much did u get it???

[kalpik]

^^ He got it for 15,300/-

And apoorv, yes, N70 is faster than E50

^^ I don't think Kalpik that N70 is faster than E50. All symbian S60 9.1 phones are faster than previous gen symbian S60 phones as the newer OS better utilises the phone's processing power. I think if we were to put a 2gb fully loaded card in both N70 and E50, E50 will not slow down as considerably as N70. Reviews all over net also suggest E50 is a very fast phone.

[kalpik]

Hmm.. Probably.. But i was talking about the hardware aspect.. E50 has a 208 Mhz processor as compared to 220 Mhz of N70.. Also N70 has more RAM (not internal memory) than E50 (AFAIK).

As i said, the new symbian OS utilises the processing power of phones better. So E50 even with 208 Mhz outperforms N70 with its 220 Mhz.

[yogi_7272]

how fast is the processor in n73 ?

[abhi_10_20]

is the "video conferencing" feature of n70 enabled with any service provider?

[kalpik]

@yogi: N73 is also 220 MHz
@abhi: No.. Video Calling requires 3G, which is not supported by any operator in india yet..

[apoorv.sharma]

...cant wait for 3G to come to india...finally wud be able to make FULL use of my cell! ...

[Pathik]

dont worry.. Only 2 yrs more... (minimum)

[apoorv.sharma]

^^^lol sure thts no time at all!...talkin abt "time" im really amazed and curious at the same time trying to imagine wht cellphones wud be like after tht much time...say even 2 years...wht the possibilities might extend to..who knows we might not even need any "service providers" to talk to each other...each cell wud be like a base station in itself projecting its own network miles along...lol...thts jus ONE of the thoughts...den again...m imaginin here...only time can tell wht happens.....who knows if the iphone takes over the world and overthrows human beings ...hehe...

[abhi_10_20]

3G........two years more??????

a cell fone vendor told it wud take just a month from now....
