Your opinions on the Nokia E70?

Am very interested in this phone as it seems to have everything and more that my Nokia 9300 has. So has anyone got one, what are they like? Also can't see on the Nokia site if this phone has predictive text?

Thanks

Well i asked in cpw and they had never heard of it!! And it says comming soon on the net so how did you get yours?

Yep think your right Tunney. Think I will wait till its out instead of going abroad etc, as i want to actually have a go with it etc and see if its better than my 9300. Thanks for the info Tunney.

Yeah it does look like a nice phone, but I will give u 100 quid if you can find out when this thing is gonna be released lol. It was supposed to be 1st quater of 2006 but thats obviously been and gone. I went into a Carphone Warehouse in town and they hadn't even heard of the E70 :eek:

.

So I am currently waiting to get my hands on a MDA Vario 2 and an E70 so I can compare the 2, as they both have there advantages and disadvantages for what i want them for. My contract doesn't end till beginning of July so just gonna have to wait and see, but my finger has come mighty close to just ordering a MDA Vario lol but I will hold off for the new phones (I hope

)

If anyone has anymore info on the release date of this, maybe a Nokia employee, it would be great.

Just been compairing the MDA Vario and the E70 and am I right in saying the E70 has a superior screen as the Vario has a TFT touchscreen, 65K colors and the E70 has TFT, 16M colors??

What is the real world benefit from this is one a QVGA screen and the other a VGA screen? As I think the Vario 2 has only 65k or 252k colours so I am assuming the E70 is much better if it can have 16million colours?

Right I emailed Nokia and they said that they have sent the E70 out to the Networks. So people that work for Tmobile, O2 etc have you any clue when ** gonna be releasing this or is Nokia telling porkys?

Well I am used to a widescreen on my 9300 so think its going to be weird at first to use either the E70 or the MDA Vario 2. I am leaning towards the E70 now for a few reasons:

1. It is out now and by all indications the Vario 2 isn't comming for several months now

2. Its smaller and lighter.

3. The screen is higher resolution but then it is smaller (going to try and hold out for the vario 2 so i can compare them)

The only thing i am not sure on is the speed of the Symbian OS as I have heard that Symbian OS's are quite slow??

Well I just hope tmobile or O2 pull there fingers out and get the vario2/Trion out asap want to go to a shop and have both the E70 and Vario 2 in me hands so i can do a proper comparison.

Some people have noted that Symbian/S60 handsets can be quite slow if the device doesn't have much memory. This isn't unique to Symbian smartphones, but it can be very noticable if you're used to non-smartphones. Luckily, the E70 has quite a generous amount of memory onboard - almost double that of the N80.

Don't forget that your current 9300 runs Symbian too.

Yeah and my 9300 opens applications really slowly which is getting on my nerves. So I want to try the E70 before ordering it to see if it sufferes the same problem. I am hoping it won't as it is a newer version of Symbian than my 9300.

I hope your right Morba about it being August can just about wait until then lol.
