In the past i had gone to the nokia gallery and i had ask for the nokia 5700. They had tell me the phone production has been stopped. And i had ask for the reason they had said me nothing.
What should i do ?
I love the features of that phone and i want to buy second hand.
If anyone can tell me the reason for failure of nokia 5700

Go ahead & buy this great phone.

I too was warned by several illiterate shopkeepers, that Nokia 5700 crashes, hangs etc etc. I purchased this phone inspite of these useless warnings & now I am glad that I purchased it. :)

The phone is still available. The shops which don't have this great phone says Nokia has stopped it's production. What crap :mad:

Atleast Nokia offer good resale value than others.
Also now-a-days each day a new phone is introduced in the market, so it's obvious that old products will lose their value.

But still no phone has such good specs like 5700 in that targeted price range. :)

If u need resale value then even the same price nokia N70 will fetch more money. But i dont care about resale value of something if i find it gud. If resale value is very important then N series phones r better.

Anyone who says 5700 failed is a moron. 5700's demand had increased so much in the last couple of months that its price also rose. It was launched at 17, came down to 11, then till 9.8 and then the price rose again to 11. It was maybe 2nd only to the n73 in terms of popularity in recent times.

5700 production ceased is the dialogue by hearted by those sales personnel in most outlets :x .tried this phone and it felt more responsive than N73(Just my opin). :D

BTW ,who cares for resale value?I have used a brand new SE K810i for hardly 3 weeks and got it exchanged with a heavy loss(minus Rs2600) in a themobilestore outlet for N73ME you know :|

5700 was a rockstar phone

i think nokia might have ceased it's production as there were two phone

5700 and N73 having the same functions

but N73 got a 3mp cam which gets more attention because of that and no one care much about speed as N73 is also got a good speed btw N73 is a N - SERIES

btw 5700 production has been stopped for sure confirmed from a priority dealer :( even NOKIA CARE says that ( today only confirmed )

ZOMG! I think I should order a velvet pillow and a glass case now. I'd put my 5700 on the pillow and cover it with the glass case. And maybe I should charge people for looking at it too. :p

Any body wants a peek? Credit cards accepted. :D

5700 is good phone.I bought it for 15k and sold it for 5700.My Se phones sold at a much higher price. But the phone had its shortcomings.Random restarts while multitasking, WSOD,etc,etc.The price is up now coz the retailers now charge the people at their own rates.

Haha......The most offtopic thread I've seen in my life.

Anyways, get 5700 if you want. It has everything but its cam sucks. It is a good fone.....Better than any other Symbian fone in the same price range if you don't consider the cam.

+1 I bought this one a year ago and still kicks ass of those latest phone.

Only yesterday, my Phone LCD broke, i dont know.....it was just laying on bed and next time i pick, the display is smashed :( Got a new one for 1700 at Nokia care even though i know the phone resale value is very less

But this is just one complete phone, i will be using for a loooooong time :smile:
