Nokia E70 Smartphone Review

Nokia E70 SmartphoneMobileBurn has a review on the Nokia E70, a foldable QWERTY smartphone.

The Nokia E70 is the ‘other’ QWERTY keyboard equipped phone in Nokia’s latest E-series range, sharing the feature with the E61. Designed in a similar way as the old Nokia 6800 and 6820, the E70 has a full QWERTY keyboard hidden in a fold open design. For the uninitiated, this means that the E70 will look just like a normal phone with numerical keys when the flip is closed, but opens up to provide a full QWERTY keypad when needed.

Armed with a 2-megapixel camera and WiFi capabilities, the E70 seems like a very good alternative for those who prefer a smaller form factor than the E61. The Nokia E70 is a dual mode phone, featuring WCDMA/GSM operation (GSM 900/1800/1900MHz and WCDMA 2100MHz).

I don’t really like the way this one folds open to reveal the keyboard, but MobileBurn did not seem to mind it, though the reviewer, like myself had a hard time getting used to the split keyboard design, as it can be faster when thumb typing to move your “free” thumb to the next key, and if the two letters are on one side of the split, it can slow down typing.

In the end they give the Nokia E70 a highly recommended rating due to its QWERTY keyboard, high resolution display and capable camera.
