The Nokia 700
Sep 21
The Nokia 700 has a license to chill. Unburdened with high expectations, this phone is getting ready to surprise you. Not in it for the win, it has too much class to lose.
Scorching hot body and super crisp ClearBlack AMOLED screen, the Nokia 700 is stepping on its 1GHz processor to the delight of those who like their Symbian shaken (Belle) not stirred.
Small phone ready for big things. That’s how we summed the Nokia 700 up in our preview. Time we guess for it to take its first big test.
What’s under the hood should come as no surprise. Nokia’s current crop of Symbian phones have more or less the same hardware. The camera is down a notch to 5MP from the 8MP unit in the 701. However, with both using fixed-focus optics and both shooting 720p video, we don’t think there’s that much of a difference.
Inside is Symbian Belle, which we quite liked, running on the 1GHz CPU and 512MB combo that’s enough to keep Android happy, let alone an OS that emerged around 2001.
