Helen, Brighton , “Basic text and chat user” More like this »

+ Good camera - 5mp, all the usual Nokia features, easy to use and navigate round menus, GPS/Sat Nav (chargeable!!)

- Keys can be a little difficult to use when texting, resulting in a mispselt word or unintentded caps, which can make texting a bit more timely, but over all isn't the end of the world. Metal casing can scratch/mark easily so a phone sock/case is recommended. 3G sometimes causes an echo of what you have just said when you are on the phone.

+ great phone - very stylish, fantastic build quality - feels really substantial and weighty even though it's really slim. camera is good quality, really easy to use and text - as always with Nokia. up there with the best phones I've ever had.

- battery life could be better. the volume button is a bit awkward. these are really minor points though - dont let them put you off!

Fergus, Glasgow

+ This is a nice phone, feels good in your hand. Camera is excellent. Web browsing quick. This was an upgrade from my trusty N73 and I'm very happy with it.

- Keypad keys quite small & not great when texting. Makes capital letters when I dont want them! Phone heavier than other models but I can live with it.

Andy , Croydon

+ The mobile has stunning design i have the silver phone. The voice carity of the phone is good the volume of the ring tone is good The camera part of the phone is very good having a 5 megabit at hand is good. i have had other nokia mobiles before however i would say that this one is the best

- The battery life for this phone IF you live in a low signel area is very poor. The phone can act a s a camera with the photo buttom on the side this can cause problems when texting. As when you activate the capture button on the side of the phone by the palm of your hand when texting. this causing some interernce with the text however does not cause a particular problem more annoyance.

+ Excellent radio and camera and easy to use phone. Querty and (conventional) numerical keypads. You soon get used to the touch screen operation.As its about 100g its a lot of phone for the weight. It looks good too!

- Struggle to see photos taken in bright sunshine, doesn't remember (in my case - predictive) text language used, so u need to reset each time - both very minor points tho!

Nick, Leeds

+ Maps are really useful and high quality, the camera is excellent, and the general slim-line design is really eye-catching and quirky. I like the smaller features, such as tapping the phone for the time to appear and such like,

- The games are limited and you have to buy them all. Snake 3 is crap, revert to snake 2. The battery life is relatively short, but its understandable with all the applications.

A basic handset that's well designed, the Nokia 6700 classic's stainless steel casing and simple user interface will impress users only interested in calls, text and the occasional photo - which, believe it or not, is still a fair chunk of the population.
