Hey guys
i m a phone sales and i was just reading ur opinions of this phone and some suggestions and questions...many or all of them can be solved with some common sense...
firstly, ppl who buys this phone purely buy it for the look of it and it's 'sort of' alternative for motorola style phone but under the nokia brand. it's for those customers who likes flip phones and nokias and wanna stay away from motorolas. it's not meant to beat N95's, N80's or other phones for the features, if u want features, why don't you get those phone instead???
yes the chrome chips, but don't all colors come off when you put them in your pocket with the keys and coins?
1. don't put in ur pocket in the first place, no contact, no scrach, no peeling off, no damage
2. put a crystal cover on it, it may look crap but at least the phone will be mostly untouched. accessory is just an accessory, it suppose to either enhance, beautify, or protect, who cares if the case breaks/scratches?
3. put in a phone sock. this will probably be the best solution as the material of the sock will act double as a finger print wiper. since the material of the N76 is very prone to finger prints, much like on the navigator, the phone sock will easily compliment this flaw
Cheers

Being an ardent Nokia user I was quite intrigued by the N76
I had this phone for almost 2 months and it left me with me a feeling that buying the N76 was the biggest mistake of my life.
Where do i start? This is a phone that has an amazing design, great features BUT dismal performance. Some of the issues you will face with the handset for sure are
1] Peeling of the housing
2] Unstable software which leads to constant rebooting (Its like the phone has a mind of its own). A call to the Nokia contact centre will only result in advice to do a master reset or book it for repair.
3] The music player is pretty good but quite often you will hear a weird buzzing sound and then the phone does what its best known for; Reboot.
4]It refuses to play any videos without rebooting (Sigh...here we go again)
These are issues that i have identified with other N76 users as well. So it cannot be termed as a one off case.
All in all from my experience I feel this handset is a waste, both monetarily and in terms of customer satisfaction. I managed to recover only 44% of the original market price.
I have now moved onto Sony Ericsson and believe me I am happy.
So if any of you are even thinking of buying this handset, BANISH THE THOUGHT!!!!

Does anyone have this phone in America? I might be buying my friend's N76 and it's from Asia I believe - I saw a Nokia Asia registration card in there. I want to know how easy it would be to set up all the necessary EDGE settings so I could use this w/ a data plan w/ Tmobile. If Ibought an american version of this phone, all that stuff would probably be built in right?
Also, could I tether with this phone and my MacBook Pro laptop?

planning to but this fone coz i'm greatly attracted by it's design. the red one looks so appealing. but as far as my researches and readings on nokia phones, i discovered that it's great design will soon be fading, not to mention its chrome coatings... For now, i'd rather have an N80 or N81 perhaps. N80 because of its wide-range functionalities(3.15MP camera, stereo music player and visiual radio.Plus, its built-in WI-FI/ Wireless LAN for unlimited internet browsing)... N81 because of its dynamic design and a lot of features that other phones do not have... It's really great! Seriously speaking... Only that it has only a 2MP camera, but i guess 2MP is good enough. high resolution though.
As a bottom line, N76 is really good but be careful in handling this phone. It's design and menu settings are by far very unique.

to mr i just bought,
to protect your phone from chrome peeling off, just put a crystal case just like i did, but i gues you will never feel at ease and at comfort thinking that one day, aaaah my beautiful phone will shed off and metamorphosize to an ugly creature... the reason i sold my unit a week after i used while the chrome is still intact. some nokia store covers them under waranty but you have 2 w8 until stocks arrive, acrding 2 my friend who encounterd this prblm hyperbolicaly speaking you have 2 w8 until your waranty lapses... hahaha! are they realy wiling 2 replace it?!?

From my past experiences, it is useless to take your phone for repair at any repair centre, as none of them do a good repair job!
I'll always sell my phone whenever I find any problem ...never count on repair!

Kind of like the look of this phone the first time I saw the real thing in black from a distance. The only problem is when you get close to it, you will notice the cheap plastic they use!
It must be true that this phone freeze up a lot and the paint peel off as all sales from operator to electronic shop advise me to back off from this model because of the aforementioned problems!
I do not have the slightest clue as to weather these problems had been retified. I do hope so as I'm considering getting one since the price has dropped to a resonable level. I noticed there is a new color (matellic pearl white)on sale. This color may not look as sharp as the black one; cause you don't get as big a contrast as black with silver. On the other hand, the palstic in pearl white matellic does not look cheap anymore & they will hardly show finger prints!
Recent Nokia phones' platform(S40/S60) font size are small but are shown big enough for comfortable reading because of the large 2.4" screen!

ok obviously we get the point that the chrome peels u gimps dont have to make 100 posts saying the same thing
i have this phone, its the same 2mp camera in most nokias and when used in night mode they all get a greenish tinge with the photo! the video however is far far superior to my mates N80
if u want a flip phone and a nokia get this as it barely every hangs up and if it does for some of u i can only imagine what u are putting onto to make it do that as from the factory this phone has barely any problems
great looking phone, as mentioned the battery life is a bit poor but if u do ure research u would already know that
