Hi Natasha, I am from Manila.
Yes, you can rewind and forward using real player in S60 3rd ed phones like the E70. Just gently push the up or down of the joystick (in E70, N73) or navi keypad (in N93).
In Nokia Stores (like the one in Robinson;s place in Ermita), its expensive, about 26,000 with 1 year warranty. But there is a new shop there also, the one which sells exclusive apple products and accessories (macintosh and ipods), the E70 is only 23,800 with one year warranty under Nokia.

After a glitch free DIY firmware udpate... Almost done reinstating my E70 to it's former glory.
Functional apps installed so far :
Adobe, Zip Mgr, TravelMate, Golf Pro 2, S60 Internet Radio. (now hunting for URL to an app I installed previously called Mobile Search by Nokia. Cool app)
Great time listening to streaming audio on "S60 Internet Radio". But it seems rather CPU intensive. 'Cause it took forever to multi-task between other running apps, if possible at all. E70 became inresponsive. Must exit this app, inorder to perform any other tasks.
While surfing ...
>>> Switching from Portrait to Landscape took 0.5 sec
>>> Switching from Landscape to Portrait took 1 to 1.5 sec
Frequency? 20 times ... 5 in rapid successions.
It is significantly more responsive. Test it out and let us know your experience.

Felix:
That's neat. You mentioned that switching from regular view to Landscape view is faster after the update.
Can you count how many seconds it takes and report back here? thanx a bunch. cheers.

MANY THANKS BD !
Completed self firmware update. My E70 is now BRAND NEW!
Downloaded "Nokia Software Updater v1.0.88"
Broadband required. Took 15 mins to download from web to PC. Another 5 minutes to download to E70.
All these are done without interruption using the updater s/w.
Remember to backup/restore using Nokia Suite.
After recovery work, Non of my previous installed apps works! Have to reinstall all my apps from scratch. Will do it later.
Portrait / Landscape switching "is faster" and does appear "instant". Surfing works fine, seems faster too.

Have managed to successfully update firmware on the phone, now version 2.0618.07.10 :-)
Apparently there was a problem with the update process which was causing phones to die but it looks like that has been fixed. Having said that, do proceed with extreme caution because if it goes wrong you'll probably have to return the phone to a Nokia service centre. Also, make sure you backup your phone first as after the upgrade it is like a new phone.
Update is available here: http://www.europe.nokia.com/softwareupdate
Make sure you follow all the instructions very carefully and don't blame me if it goes wrong :-)
As far as the update goes the main thing I've noticed is that the time to switch from landscape to portrait mode is dramatically reduced, usually 2 seconds max. Still takes about 45 seconds to boot up the phone though. Can't comment on the browser memory issues I'm afraid as I don't use that. Let me know if there's anything else you want me to check.

Hi "Happy user",
you said ".... Can't find equalizer...anyone can assist me on this..."
1) Play an MP3 file
2) Select "Option -> Equaliser"
3) Edit "Option -> Equaliser -> Option -> Edit"
have fun!

Felix,
No I did not try because I already bought the silver E70. Did not realised that the black E70 on display is a dummy.So it looks like only silver E70 is available in Malaysia.

To Bab:
The US version of the E70 is now being sold at two locations only: the Nokia store in Chicago and the one in New York city. The models are 850mHZ band, which works fine with Cingular (and T-Mobile using 1800 or 1900 mHZ) here in the US.
The ones you're seeing being sold on the internet or ebay are the 900mHZ bands, which are the Europian versions.
I would give it about another 1-2 months, and you'll be able to purchase the US model from nokiausa.com website.
Unless you're lucky enough to live in Chicago or NY city and purchase it in person yourself. Unfortunately, they do not accept phone orders, otherwise I would have one in my hands already!!

Does anyone know if this phone will work with Cingular in Michigan. I have heard different things, Cingular says this phone is not compatible with their system, but others say it is. Does anyone know for sure because it seems the european version is being sold in the US right now.

Thanx again Felix. I have a w810 and while I love the MP3 on it and the camera, I need something to hey my email off my blackberry. This phone seems perfect but how does it run on cingulars network with the umts band in regards to reception. I am wondering if I should just wait for Cingular to have the umts band and the hey it. Any feed back?

for every one who ownes this phone do not download the nokia software updater for the e70 because my e70 is not working after i have used the "do it your self firmware updater" to install the newer version,
it seems that nokia wants us to go to the nokia services and fix our phones there just to pay them the money they want. how come a firmware becomes for free and updated at home????!!!!! that is the trick part

Hi to all!!
From KL, Malaysia
Just got my E-70. Original set in KL. Here are my short review on this...
Just because I bought this doesn't meant it is the best compare to others but it depends on individual need. And after used it about a day, now I know why it's a business phone. Just get a Nokia HDS-3 stereo headphone and you just converted your E70 to multimedia phone.
Battery
I done single charge, use wifi at KL airport more 3 hours. Play MP3 more 1.5 hours. SMS about 15 to 20 same day. Call about 30 min... And still got 5 bar running (total 7 bar).
Size...
Jus nice... little bulky but you got everything in 1. Remeber e70 got wifi. and it is a 3G phone.
Screen
Bright...compare to other... well if you compare with pda... you can't compare the battery life...
Extended memory
Got 1 gb miniSD... doesn't slow down the system it seem.
Qwerty keyboard
this is roll eyes... Imagine typing 300 character of e-mail... enough said. Yes..300...
camera..
So so.... can't expect much on 2mp... Want better go for digital cam...
But can't focus macro...
Video...
Great ... just great... better video then other....
Sound...
Just nice... no need to blast so hard... you want ppl at cinema hear your phone... Most business ppl put the phone quite mode...
OK now... Bad thing about E-70
1. Cant switch off camera sound.
2. If your wifi router running on fix ip or with different subnet. E70 won't connect.
3. Need to clear cache file all time..
4. Run video on real player.. cannot choose middle track.. Need to find other software.
5. Can't find equalizer...anyone can assist me on this..
6.. to be continued..
