Bought E70 at low yat Malaysia Ori set for r.m.1860 on 9/9/06
The full keyboard... 1st was hard..after a while... felt like typing on pc keyboard.
Email was really fun.. Wifi or 3G, or Edge do work wonders.
The only problem is everytime I'm taking pictures, the phone make a shutter sound.
The screen is bright.. you can actually read text on it...
I own a pda (Compaq 3870) but this phone simply beat PPC.
I meant the size...the weight and the screen just nice.. The battery run great... single charge I managed to surf at KLIA for 3 hours. Playing MP3 for 2 hours (bought HDS-3 stereo headphone) make short call (30mins total) and sms more 15. I still have 6 bar (total 7).
Picture is great..can't expect much but much much better than 1.3 mp cam.. Video... is clear and nice... I own a 6230i and the phone (e70) is a clear winner.Email is simply the best..imagine typing more 200 character...
Overall I gave this phone 8/10...
only prob is sound when taking pictures
excel formula doesn't work well... using IF, count, Vlookup.
And there's no cover for this model yet...

Hi "KK",
Earlier, I "tried" one of those Black E70 on display ... it's a realistic Dummy Phone.
My hopes dashed ... did you try yours?

I bought a silver E70 last month. A few days ago I saw a black E70 on display at Bukit Bintang Plaza in Kuala Lumpur. Silver is nice but I think the letterings are more pronounced on the black phone....easier to see. I wonder whether Nokia sells the parts (keypads and surrounding plastic) which enable one to change the colour of the phone.

Hey all,
I've been drooling over this phone's specs for a few months. But have heard of a few issues with the phone.
I've been perodically checking this forum firmware updates/fixes (symbian updates?) that have made the phone more reliable.
I have heard of two main issues:
* Screen orientation switching latency (relatively benign)
* phone crashes (hard to put up with)
Any info you could offer on software updates or information on your experiences with above (other?) issues would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Roks!
I have another question. I'm from Bulgaria and one of the reasons I'm gonna buy this phone is that I can edit Office documents (Word, Excel etc.).
Is there a way that I can install Cyrillic fonts on the phone and use the Querty keyboard with them?
Does anybody know?

I'm probably gonna buy this phone in a few days but can anybody tell me:
Can you download or upload e-mail attachments through the web browser?
Can I download regular files like PC installation files, pictures and other and just save them to the memory card and transfer them on my PC later?
Please, does anyone know?

I'm using my e70 on maxis unlimitd data package.
maxis service countr at KLCC bungled up by saying that e70 is not supported since it is new.
however, in came another service reps with very nimble fingers who set my phone up in less than a minute.
my e70 is now surfiinng n browsinng anywhere flawlessly.

I think I messed myself up & reformatted the 64MB card before I knew there was anything useful on it. (I was trying to delete all the previous owner's stuff from my E70 when I got it.) Does anyone have that software backed up they can share with me?
In particular my dictionary was initially working when I first got the phone, but now it just says "Dictionary word information missing. Install word dictionary." I saw a previous posting saying their dictionary started working with the softward on the 64MB card.
BTW- someone asked about Internet Radio on the E70. It WORKS! Check out:

Thanks!

Hi, I've been thinking for a long time of buing this pfone an from evrything I've read it seems pretty good. I have a question, can anyone tell me if I can attach files to e-mails or download files via the internet browser. For example, I have a song on my phone and I want to send it to a friend's e-mail. Can I do that? Really appreciate it if anyone could tell me!

This is a really great phone but i need to know some more things about it before i go out and buy one:
- When you say that it takes a lot of time to change orientation, does it take "irritating" long or "enough-already" long or is it just "not-instant" long?
- Do you experience any crashes? (other than too many apps open or other human mistake)
- ANYONE tested it with a Mac? For sync and net surfing/instant messaging etc.
- Have you tried recording a call? Is it ONLY 60 seconds?
thank you very much in advance for your answers

Hi "andy",
Both my 2GB SanDisk & Kingston miniSD are using FAT. Haven't try FAT32 as suggested by some posters ealier.
Also did not re-format them. Fresh from oven, so to speak. Just stick it into my E70 and let it auto pre-configure the new cards with all necessary directories.
Good luck.
Successful "4-in-1" use for my mini-SD (with SD converter)
a) HP hx4700 - SD card
b) PC USB drive - SD card
c) Panasonic camera memory card - SD card
d) E70 - mini-SD card
