Infosync has a short review of the Nokia N70, the higlights are below. The N70 has very recently become generally available (Europe, Asia) and is a decent choice unless you are willing to wait for the Nokia E70.
- Highlights:
- fascia is a pleasure to behold
- crisp and clear screen
- good keypad - comfortable backlight, excellent tactile feedback, acceptable size
- lousy LED flash
- Bluetooth 2.0
- stereo FM radio
Nothing really unexpected, but we don't really understand why InfoSync says that local synchronization of PIM data towards Lotus Notes or Microsoft Outlook not only being partial but also an agonizingly slow and cumbersome process, because even the Nokia 7610 has a decent sync capability, and the less fully featured Series 40 based Nokia 8800 also has a acceptable notes/calendar/contact sync factility.
We can't imagine that we're not as demanding - we've tried activesync (windows mobile) and palm desktop; both aren't much better. Indeed, we haven't had problems with PC Suite at all since version 6.5.(v6.6.18 is current)
