Re: N72 or N70

I think that N72 is better. It has better looks (atleast thats what i think) and only lacks superfluous (read useless in india) features like 3G, WCDMA/UMTS, video calling, front camera that the N70 has. And it is also cheaper than N70. Thus its also represents good value for money, more so than N70.

Re: N72 or N70

n72 sux, it has got a very small keypad, plus looks like keypad is a sticker, camera shutter (or watevr its called) is very loose, easily opens up...

n70 is good... go for it!!

Re: N72 or N70

Can anyone give me the latest price of Nokia N70?

I want to buy a phone next month. I want the following:

-2MP camera
-262k screen color
-GPRS
-Bluetooth
-Infrared
-FM radio
-MP3 player
-Headset

My budget is around 15-16k. I have heard that the N70 and N72 can fall into that price range and has all the above features. Can anyone confirm the price? And if given a choice between only N70 and N72, which one should I buy?

What are the prices of the other N-series phones?

Any other choices in this price range with the above features?

Thank you.

N72-15k
N70-17k
N71-19k
N73-23k approx.
N90-22k
N91-25k
N80-27k approx.
N93-29k.
Go for N70 if you can stretch your budget. Otherwise go for N72. I'll also suggest Nokia 3250 as it falls in your budget and has all the features that you want. It costs 15k.

Another phone in that range would be Sony Ericsson W810i. Perfectly fits the description. This will be a good buy unless you really want a symbian phone.
I don't know how much will 3250 cost but that's another phone that you can look at.

Thank you everyone for your inputs. Today I enquired about the price of both N70 and N72 and was qouted a price of Rs.15400 for the N72 and Rs.16k something for the N70.

@tech_your_future: what are the prices of SE W810i and Nokia 3250? Does these have all the features that I have mentioned?

I am not sure of the prices but W810i has all the features. If I remember right, 3250 doesn't have Infrared but I don't really see much use of it cos of bluetooth, maybe you have some reason for it.
You can just check up for these phones and compare them on www.gsmarena.com

Hey .. last month my friend took me to mkt for same reason, I told him to buy N72 bcoz its better value for money. ..but he took n70 instead, ha ha ..regretting now he is saying that he should have taken n72 n saved 900rs, for virtually same phone.

as for some other phones .. u can have 3250,w810i, or w700i, D820 or E730.. you can try these.. too all good phones, 3250 has a little software problem..but a good phone

<N70 vs N72> .. I would suggest you N72 .. Its new .. looks sort of better than n70, performance compartively better, FM Stereo, 2MP are all there. n72 has a 128MB Mini-SD-Card .. so if you change to another phone it can be used with future N-Series phone.(think about it)

And so in case of N70/N72, will I get a memory card? Please tell the capacity. And how much does, say a 512MB/1GB (if available) card cost?

N70/N72 only come with a 64mb dv rs mmc. 512mb costs 650 and 1gb costs 1100 in mumbai. Btw nokia 3250 comes with a 512mb micro-sd. I'll suggest you go for 3250. It has a better music player, louder speaker, 3.5mm slot to connect your own headphones, and comes with a 512mb card. At 15k i think its a good deal. If you like sonyericsson you can check out the w810i which comes at a similar price.

@pathiks do you really think that our indian telecom companies will bring 3g to india in the next couple of years. I don't think so. These people are all show and no go. They can't even provide us with decent gprs connection leave alone provide 3g. Even if they do they will charge a fortune for it similar to what they did to gprs back when it was launched. I for once would love to be proved wrong by our telecom companies on this matter. But something tells me they wont.

If u read carefully i mentioned that. ok N70 has MMC-Mobile 64/128MB depend on location. N72 has new memory card, like in N-80, thats why I said it can be plugged into other Nseries phones too, its Mini SD Card... as for in delhi they are giving 128MB with the pack.
for more .. try the Transcend (www.transcendusa.com) or Kingston(www.kingston.com) only no other.

Exactly :) ... 3G is not coming to india any sooner .. forget it guyz .. even its not launched in any big city in India yet .. even not in anyother big city in the world. How can we expect it to comeout all over india .. when no testing or something taking place in delhi or chennai.
@krazyfrog .. you are right they are not able to provide the good gprs here.
every where u get only 4KBps download speed ... even though AirTel claims that they have EDGE in delhi..


Has anyone used the front camera on 6680, N70, N73 .. I guess not.
If not then why you pay for extra camera .. which u will never use.
Now forget the 3G part..for now

Final Suggestion .. If are confused on this .. Ok I give you few points then u can decide..
- Save around a thousand rupees buying n72 instead of n70
- N72 is the new from the N series..
- N72 doesn't have 3G don't worry about that bcoz no telcom operator
has got the license for it .. implementing is far away.. for more read my post above
- if u are confused between the only thing front camera bet the 2, if no video calling it has no use.. for other use it sucks . its 640x480, obviously u wont use it .. when u have a much better camera available at back.
- all things same ..
- You have Visual Radio in it also .. u you can enjoy that if u use.
- It has EDGE .. so better connectivity
- N72 comes with a cable .. that u can use to connect to car audio n listen from car speakers.
- it has 128MB SD-Card .. (future proof same as in N80, N73) ;)

TRAI has given thumbs up for 3G and testing is already going on in Delhi, Mumbai, Chandigarh, Chennai etc.

Go 4 N70. It's future proof and India will see 3G in The 1st or 2nd quarter of 2007. If u can change handset later then buy N72 now. But i still recomend N70.

Man, 3G is really great and i've used it when i went to London during vacations in june. Awsome speeds, live football matches and the ultra cool VIDEO CALLING.... wow

Even N95 has been launched which is 3.5G....

How can one think of 3G when even GPRS isn't well implemented by Mobile Service Providers and how many people will be able to afford 3G when it will be launched, it will be highly priced. So, IMO 3G should be left out of the discussion.

Exactly .. I completely agree :cool:

No one has been able to provide the best quality 2 G & 2.5 G yet .. I have been using AirTel GPRS for long and been listening to their press reports that they Launched EDGE .. then extended it ..crap
It sucks .. theoretically .. It should have around 234kbps in EDGE .. but its not good, even bad as Dialup here.. If there are more connections .. then they need to setup more capacity .. but they arent doin that. more connection means they have more people .. means they have more profit ..So they are supposed to give more speed to us.there are many areas where AirTel Hutch Reliance Network fails, n there are places where BSNL not works.. They should better provide the basic service first. High speed GPRS (EDGE) doesn't work properly in Delhi.. Don't know what happen to 3G..
