We like:
Performs well with 3G; back camera has a lens cover; brimming with built-in software; side-mounted flash memory card slot
We don't like:
Pointless 2x zoom on video-call camera; too little built-in memory; camera lens cover doesn't lock into place; music quality could be better
You might also need:
Bluetooth headset; Reduced Size MultiMediaCards

The N70 is a fairly pretty, slightly chunky handset, but nothing to write home about. Delve a little and you'll find plenty to get excited about, though, from the solid 3G performance and good camera (with sliding lens cover) to the library of built-in software suitable for both work and play
