Nokia 6700 classic review: Sirocco Lite

13 July 2009
The slim and stylish no-nonsense handset has been a Nokia trademark ever since the 6300 took the world by storm a few years back. However, it's only now after a run of equally popular successors that we realize just how much the Slim Finn changed the rules of the game...

          Hiyah, great review. When you say the tethering is done via the PC Suite, is that using a 'modem' option? I ask because afaik, that limits the internet speed to that of a COM port - so about 1Mbps, not bad, but not the 10Mbps HSDPA.

There is a reason why these other brands are trying to spot out one high end phine every 15 minutes, cause they know they can't compete with Nokias quality devices on the world biggest market, which is midrange consumers. Nokia make quality midrange phone woth features which no other can match at that price.

                      Now NOKIA is for middle class.

                      All (most) their middle range phone done extremely well, include this 6700 Classic.

                      But their high-end phone is not capable to fight with others brand at all. When Nokia is going to change and out a stunning high-end phone?

                            Creak creak... And it don´t have the minimalistic - classic - elegant look of 6700...

                            If you want a phone with WLAN and 8MP and 2,6" screen, then go for N86! Great design and materials, too!

                                    It is a great phone!! The materials & design are exquisite!!
                                    No comparison to SonyEricsson with their squeeky plastic phones!!

                                    Sirocco lite - very true!

                                    Thanks for the review.

                                    PS: I´m a big NSeries fan, but this little phone has stolen my heart :D ;)
