Nokia 6700 Classic ReviewThis compact & classic bar designed 3G phone is known as the Nokia 6700 Classic which comes in a choice of three coloured casings which enhances the classic look of this stunning handset. The three colours which the user has to choose from include a black coloured casing, chrome finished casing & a matt steel coloured casing. The 6700 Classic has no opening systems due to its bar shaped design which gives it a solid & sturdy feel. It weighs just over one hundred & sixteen grams & its overall dimensions are 11.2mm deep by 109.8mm high by 45mm wide. The overall size makes it an easy phone to carry & the user can enjoy single handed operation when inputting numeric or text input.

With so many new handsets sporting touchscreens, fancy user interfaces, or gizmos it is something of a relief to have in my hands this week Nokia's 6700 Classic. There's nothing fancy about this phone at all. Nokia has shot itself in the foot on a couple of counts, but for those looking for a mobile for voice calling and a bit of texting first and other stuff second, this classic candybar handset is quite alluring.I've generally been a fan of Nokia's approach to the classic candybar, because the company does the basics on such phones well. And the same holds true here. The general design, screen and keyboard are all good - and battery life is smashing.The phone's ordinary looks do it no harm at all.

I got a chrome coloured Nokia 6700 Classic with my contract in January 2010. My partner was so impressed that I delighted him by buying him one for his birthday in June 2010. My son is now getting one for his christmas this year.It's a fabulous phone.It feels nice and solid in the hand, but not bulky or heavy.I bought a silicon protector/backing and a screen protector and it's now great for just shoving in a pocket with no concerns.I also got wireless earphones which means I've music on the go, without wires hanging anywhere and the phone can be safely tucked in a pocket or bag.The keypad is solid, and etched rather than having"buttons/keys" and is digit friendly for texting.With a memory card added,

Make sure that the phone you buy is on the network that you need it.THESE PHONES CANNOT CURRENTLY BE UNLOCKED, so be wary of ads that state it can be unlocked down your local market. THEY CANNOTThe only way to get one of these unlocked is through the original service provider. Most providers will not do this as the handset is too new to be at the end of a contract.Be aware that anyone selling one that they received as an upgrade does not actually own the phone that they are selling. It belongs to the service provider until the contract has been paid up. Normally this is not a problem, but please be aware, if the contract is not paid the phone could get barred in the future.The best phone to buy in my opinion is one that has bought sim-free.

The 6700 is a classic example of how Nokia got to the top. A classic "candybar" handset, packed with enough features to keep all but the most techy of people happy.The chrome version (which I bought) attracts so many fingerprints it's like a CSI Christmas Present, but that's a very minor niggle in what is otherwise a cracking little phone. It makes calls, it texts, it emails, it looks gorgeous and it feels nice in the hand too. It's reassuringly heavy, due to the full stainless steel casing.The one thing it lacks is Wi-Fi, and I think that it does suffer slightly as a result. I'd never intended to use this phone for internet browsing as the screen is too small. However, like most people,

I love the quality build and feel of this handset. Ringtones are loud and clear. My hotmail works perfect. Can see the screen under sunlight. The key pad and central navigation key are a joy to use. Texting is smooth,fast and responsive. Camera button is a little awkward to press,as is the volume key. Much better looking and by far better value than 8800's Sirocco. Using my 8gb memory card which is a little slow to load,but none the less,works perfect. Biggest drawback is that you cannot buy an earphone adapter to fit,either from Nokia or anywhere else. This means you have to use the TERRIBLE Nokia earphones with the handsfree kit.Could not handle that,so Im using a Sony Ericsson handsfree bluetooth adapter with my Sennhieser earphones........bliss!

My Nokia 6700 was bought new on ebay in Jan 2010 and has a lovely quality feel about it. This is an O2 contract model which is open to other networks SIM cards. The finish is a matt steel grey which looks very good indeed and does not attract fingerprints like the highly polished chrome finish does. I understand it is exclusive to O2 handsets, although it comes with some customisation for O2 network users in the menus (eg key 1 speed dial defaults to O2 voicemail and cannot be re-assigned to my own network's voicemail). Personally I prefer this to buying a Sim free one which would have to be in chrome or black.My only disappointment is the quality of the screen colours which are not quite as good as my Nokia 6300.

This phone is small, sleek shiny and finished in chrome. It is quite heavy for a phone, but feels solid and not at all flimsy. I have had all sorts of phones over the years, from slides to touch screen. However, I am a simple girl, with simple tastes (and a simple mind, my hubby would say!) and you can't go wrong with a simple candy-bar style phone; no gimmicks, no fads, just a simple, stylish phone which is easy to text with. I have acrylic nails and struggled with the LG Prada. I did not like the chunkiness of the Samsung Soul, my last phone.This Nokia has a great sound quality too. I love the metal case.I paid £129 on Ebay, which I consider a good price.5 mega pixel camera is good too.If you have tried all the fancy phones and style statements,

First it was the 6230 then 6230i then the awesome 6300 now there is this. I have been offered iphone 4's, nokia smartphones and you name it but i have to refuse as this is by far one of the best mobiles to step into the mobile world. It is so simple to use, has great features and looks great. I use this mobile for business as i am a businessman and strongly recommend it to any business person. It promises sheer quality and reliablity. The nokia 6700 has never let me down once. It has sadly fallen out my hand a few times and i just couldn't imagine it switching on again however, it has proved me wrong many times. This amazing phone just keeps going on and on.

I've come back to a normal phone after an uninspiring time with a touch screen. I chose Nokia because it security locks the keyboard if not used hence nobody else can get into it without the code.I liked the look of the 6700 classic. it's a good size for me and screen looks supriseingly It has good weight as it's made out of chrome, so you'll always know it's in your pocket.The battery life is ok- it'll last a day plus, and it also have this funky function were by if you double tap it you can bring up the clock,or send a call into voice mail.Now for the bad things. I can't find voice tags for the contacts. Iy's got them for nearly everything else except the most used thing-calling your mates.

I'm a 40 year old male working in the construction industry and had been due an upgrade for ages and really didn't want to follow the sheep and buy a touch screen phone so looked around for ages for a phone that felt new and looked up to date that wasn't going to fall to bits in 5 mins and now that I've owned this phone for over a month I feel I'm able to write this review.It feels weighty, the screen is big and very clear, the buttons click as they should do in my opinion and are great for my clumsy fingers.What I like most about this phone is the fact that it is just a phone, not a hand held games console that will take hours and hours to master and sending a simple text or making a simple

Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the director's cut that includes scenes about the relationship between the lead character and his estranged wife and helps you to understand the motivation behind his decision. The run time is 183 minutes for the directors cut and 120 minutes for the cinema version. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic would expect to be included.

I was wondering about it long time, found it, bought it. That mobile seems to be one of best of Nokia mobile phones last few years - after what I have read about it, after I have checked it, used it - I am absolutely happy. For the price and all of these nice options - absolutely good value. Great camera (5 mega pixels), it looks brilliant. Long life battery, rich menu, good signal everywhere. And the soft is clear, easy to use even for those who buy their first mobile phone. I rate Nokia mobiles (obviously the 6700 classic) very high. I would recommend that mobile phone to anyone - for the business, for daily use for workers, kids... If you like it as it looks like,

Honestly the best phone I have ever owned. Better than I was expecting. It's lovely to hold, very shiny(!), has a god weight to it and works perfectly. There are so many little things I keep finding that make it better too - like the monkey background that changes depending on the battery status and good games inc a brain training game. Easy to navigate, clear and the buttons are good too. (Very girly thing to say but the keypad also doubles up brilliantly as a small mirror - good for windy mornings when your eyes won't stop running!).Overall, very good phone. Already recommended to friends.

Pretty good considering it's refurbished. Only one - no, two - gripes. One, if for any reason I have to switch it off then on again, the T-mobile tune plays so it must originally have been one of their contract phones. Two, very occasionally, when texting, a word suddenly starts with a capital letter when I haven't even clicked on the capital letter button. Nevertheless, as this is a refurbished phone and as I consider the Nokia 6700 to be the best of the non iPhone phones, I'm pretty pleased overall. It is much more able to maintain a strong signal than my last phone was.
