Default Nokia N70's - they any good?

Need to upgrade my phone - got a Nokia 6230 last year and it's a bit mashed and keeps crashing - so popped into my pals phone shop yesterday to see what I could get as an upgrade. Liked the look of the 6680 that Stu's got, but they don't do it on T-Mobile, but he (my pal in phone shop) tells me the N70 is virtually identical, and better...

Anyone got one, and if so, are they any good? Look nice, but how well do they work, how easy to use etc..... Thats the reason I stick with Nokia's is cos they are "kids phones" in as far as any muppet can work out how to use it

What was it you didn't like about it Paul? I am probably getting mine 2morrow, so this is all a bit academic really, but I'm interested to know

DO the N70 and the 6680 thing both have seperate memory cards like the phone I have now... its a 6230??


How do they both compare to the 6230.. I like it, just time for a change


Dave, you dont need cradles now... the latest bluetooth handsfree kits are the way forward IMO
