don't buy a Nokia N76....
« on: 28 August 2007, 20:17:32 »
got one at work now as yet another test phone (i have a draw of about 50 mobiles)

Worst phone ever!!! The build is appalling, it feels cheap and nasty. Its a huge phone with a massive mirror on the front (its a flip phone)

Within 10 seconds of holding it, it looked dirty, finger prints show up really bad! (then again i was eating a lolly pop)

humm wonder who is the target customer of this phone  ::)

Roll on the iPhone which i should be getting soon  :)6

Ahhh the i-phone... let's see if you think more highly of it than many others...  :-?

Have to say my N95 is bl**dy wonderful and has not given me a single problem so far (firmware update is essential). Battery life is not great but aside of that all is good.  :y

we have 3 N95's.... great phone. Poor build lets it down... even with the firmware upgrade it still crashes.

6230 here (not the i).  Like it well enough.  Want the iPhone without the phone.  Would carry it around occasionally as WiFi iPod, wouldn't carry it around daily as a phone.  (Yes, I have seen several in person.)

Most of the Symbian Nokias seem to have flakey software.  Makes Windows Mobile look miles ahead...

Nokia firmwares (all) do not seem to get same testing they once did.

As you know, Mrs TheBoy and I both have 6230i, not that I use it, favouring Windows instead.

Don't know what it has extra, but I don't miss anything.  I have to say that playing the radio or MP3's through the loudspeaker was great when I had that J-reg 214 with no radio (got rid of that 2 years ago).

Nothing of consequence - better screen, more pixels on the pointless camera.  Best bit is the joystick is improved.

better firmware and an O/S upgrade too... but the joystick improvement is the best.

are these phones yours to keep and do with as you please or do they belong to the company?

if so, can you get a nokia E90 to sell to me unlocked and sim free for less than £421.66?
