My New Possession: Nokia N70

I recently bought a Nokia N70 - and am mighty impressed by the phone. But read this with a
pinch of salt as I have made a direct transition from an old LG set (older even than the Nokia 1100) to N70 !!

First the compliments, if there's one word to describe the N70 - sexy, is it. The phone fits
comfortably in the hand and looks awesome. Oh, I forgot to mention that I bought the Music
Edition - so am not sure if the Basic Edition would look as cool. The UI is pretty fast & responsive. And for those Snakes fans, look out for what this phone's got. The 1100 had a 2D
Snakes, this phone features a 3D version. And to play it - as one of my room mates put it -
is like a transition from Unix to XP !!

Well, negatives first:

Whats a phone (read Music Edition) without an Equalizer?!
It is not possible to jump to a particular song while retaining the whole playlist.

And now, the positives:

Ummmm ... where to start from?? :)
The 2 MP camera is good and if you want a low-res pic or want to do a Video-Conf, you have a camera in the front too.
The Image Gallery features a sliding transition that speaks loads about the processing speed of
this phone.
The Games - watch out for Snakes !!
Features a High-Quality sound - and the biggest plus for the phone - it can be connected to external speakers. This wasn't possible with earlier Nokia phones.

All in all, a very good buy.
