      N70 vs SE W810i

      which is better?
      I am an owner of both phones and so far I'm both impressed and satisfied with their features. But if your choicing btwn dem check out my review:

      CAMERA- w810 has better camera-autofocus w/c captures better in the dark where N70 fails, w810 camera light (led) is very bright, n70 not much. n70 20x zoom, but pictures are very crappy when you zoom at 8-20x, w810i 4x zoom but looks like the 8x zoom of n70.

      VIDEO- n70 wins 15 frames per second, mp4 very smooth, eats 4mb per second. w810i only 10fps, 3g, pixelated ->sad part of SE

      PICTURE/gallery - I go for n70 very smooth pic scroll. w810 is quite slow especially when zooming d pics and editing. I love n70 when it comes to picture editing you have more options compared to w810. But if your satisfied with just capturing pics, w810 is ok

      DISPLAY- larger screen on n70. w810i medium but clearer than n70

      MP3- n70 searches fast since you can type d title of the song u like. w810 you need to scroll like an ipod. Quality-wise w810 wins. It also has an equalizer u can play with; n70 does not have

      Headset. n70 nokia has poor headset why? it easily wears off. I have replaced mine for 3 times. And the worst it easily detaches becoz the teeth is very shallow so a little push it gets removed. Se w810 headset is good. Better bass but not as loud as nokia hedset. Atachment is strong becoz of deep teeth. you can jog and gym with your w810i better. And wats really good you can replace the hedset becoz of the availble 3.5 jack

      Loudspeakers. N70 is very loud 10/10 which is good if ur after a loud-sounding mp3 player.compared to w810i 9-8/10 only but still ok. very loud is deftening

      Radio- n70 d usual nokia style. w810i you'l love the auto channeling. one press it gets all available channels and saves it for you.you dont have to manually scroll unlike n70. tenx SE

      MMC- n70 gives 64 mb card w.c can b upgraded up to 1 gig, w810i has 512mb w/c can handle up to 2-4 gigs. w810i saves you money here

      Themes- n70 is boring, w810i keeps me excited becoz of animated themes. you'll want to keep on shifting themes most often.very fun.

      Texing- same. although i can text better and faster on w810i. n70 has cramed keypads i often press the side menu button.

      Games/Apps- n70 wins here. You can install good games, programs and applications wc are very accessible in the net. w810 poor available games and apps. can install only jave, i hate dis part. But if you don't like placing too much programs. w810 wud b ok. Saves you from people who wants to play w ur phone hehe

      Others-> n70 can play almost all file types. w810i only midi,mp3, 3g. -> another sad part of SE

      Bluetut/Ir- n70 no Ir. w810 has both. Blutut of both is fsst. (v3x has d worst.soooo slow. peace!)

      Battery. Go for w810i if your after dis. has 350 hrs unlike n70 265h.more fun with Sony

      Weight- ders a 50g difference on d two. but not a big deal is it? w810 will fit better in your pocket since it is smaller and not bulky

      Overall-
      N70- wins on -> Video, gallery scrolling, loudspeaker, games/apps, others (file types)

      W810i wins on -> Camera, mp3,radio, headset, texting, Infrared, themes, MMC 512mb, batt life, weight

      DRAW- display, blutut

        To all pipol who want to buy a cheaper new Nseries phone, I advise u to go for N71 instead of N70. N71 has the latest Symbian OS 9.1 compared to N70's OS 8.1. The two are almost the same only N71's software is much more stable. All features in N70 can be found in N71 and some added features as well. As with the hardware, N71 has a larger screen display and higher resolution than N70. Also, N71 is as affordable as N70.

                What do you mean by powerful? If you really want a powerful platform, that would be windows mobile OS, not the unstable Symbian OS.

                Sorry guys, as a prev owner of Nseries phone from N70 - 90 one thing is common. OS/UI is UNSTABLE, lacks fault tolerant unlike any other platform, UI is sluggish although i like the layout. So, why pay such a premium for a phone? Then, release another series with just one or two feats added, Nokia must address first the stability issues of this first Nseries phone. Nokia is plainly fooling those impulsive buyers, Nak ng pateng magpapalit lang ng housing o appearance tapos mag ads "The ALL-NEW" s**T!

                Nokia (+) The phone itself
                (-) The Symbian (OS/UI) dept. sucks!

                    Just wait for N95. I think the updated Symbian OS will be more stable than the prev Nsucks!

                    But still, i doubt the design of Symbian OS it does'nt manage the phones resources well...There is one brand i'm considering now, as a worthy replacement for my ailing Nsuck(70), the under rated ASUS....V80 model. i'm really amaze by how responsive the OS/UI. For only P10,600 you got a complete multimedia phone less the 3G feat. Never had any glitches, freez or goes off suddenly. Thanks for ASUStek reputation for design/performace/realiability. ASUStek is one of the leading brand in producing high-performance/quality computer hardware products.

                                  I wanted to buy myself an N70 for the new year and when i arrived to purchase one. The retailer was issuing a warning,a written one saying that 60 % to 70% of Nokia phones especially N series are defective and it is our duty to report it to you since we cannot stop selling them because people want Nokia.She also mentionned that nokia is wasting money on adds and not doing anything about the phones themselves.Thanks to the N series the great market for Nokia has made 2006 Motorola the undisputed leader in many countries but Nokia sales still figure high since people are buying phones unknowingly on the inersia of Reputation which Nokia once had.

                                    Well i know wround 45 people in my immediate vicinity who own such phone and i can say
                                    this phone is for looks only nothing more.If you do more than make calls it freezes and crashes and the speed, my grandmother walks faster than the applications opens.Can't put 2 gb card either.Most of the people i know are either switiching to SE or Motorola.For that price i would suggest you get a communicator instead.
