Nokia 700

NOKIA 700 REVIEW

You could easily make a case against the Nokia 700. Launched on the eve of Nokia’s Windows Phone drive, but running the oft-maligned Symbian, on paper the 700 has “too little, too late” written all over it. Still, Symbian may be on its way out, but it still has a place on Nokia’s roadmap for a few years, and the 700 debuts Belle, the newest version of the OS. The Nokia 700 is one of the smallest smartphones we've reviewed but its also one of the best built phones we've come across. Everything about this phone screams quality, from the hefty but not overwhelming weight, to the brushed aluminium finish on the back, and the outstanding, bright ClearBlack screen. We also love the physical keys below the display (answer, menu and end call), which are back-lit and easy to press. Perhaps the only sour point of the Nokia 700's design is the physical buttons on the right side of the phone. The volume, lock and dedicated camera keys are ridiculously thin and small, and require a real firm press to activate. Nokia’s now-legendary build quality is one of the things we’re most looking forward to in the company’s upcoming Windows Phone range, but solid construction is certainly evident on the 700, too. It’s a surprisingly small phone in a world dominated by oversized touchscreens: Apple may have been criticized for sticking with 3.5-inches on the iPhone 4S, but the 700′s AMOLED is an even smaller 3.2-inches. It runs at nHD 640 x 360 resolution, low in comparison to rival devices but still sufficient for smooth graphics on such a compact panel. It’s also impressively color-rich and bright, thanks to Nokia’s ClearBlack technology. Colors are saturated and vivid, and the viewing angles are broad. A sheet of toughened Gorilla Glass sits on top of the 110 x 50 x 9.7 mm, 96g chassis, with physical call, menu and end/power buttons underneath. On the right side are slim – but easily pressed – volume, lock and camera keys. The whole thing is creak-free and sturdy. Symbian Belle is by turns familiar and new. Nokia is keen to point out that there are many changes behind the scenes, making the aging OS more spritely and spec-compliant, but it’s the reworked UI that leaves the biggest impression. The apps and services on offer are much as we’ve seen on other recent Symbian phones. The QWERTY keyboard for portrait orientation is present, though the epitome of fiddly on the compact 3.2-inch display. You also get the impressive Nokia Maps, supporting offline mapping – a boon if you travel and don’t want to rack up sky-high data fees – along with turn-by-turn directions for driving and walking, and various integrated POI services. It remains one of the best mobile mapping solutions around, and we’re very much looking forward to it kicking Bing Maps out of Windows Phone. If you want to know which is the most sleekest smartphone than here is your answer "Nokia 700", You won't believe how light this ultra slim touch-screen phone feels Nokia 700 not only fits comfortably into your palm but also slips discreetly into your pocket or purse, A fresh new look with up to six home screens on Nokia 700 bringing everything important right to you, The NFC feature of Nokia 700 offers an easy way to share and connect wirelessly All you do is touch another NFC-enabled phone to share a great photo or video with a friend, So go grab the most Compact smartphone yet Nokia 700.
