Nokia N70 got announced alongwith other members of Nokia's latest N series i.e. Nokia N90 and Nokia N91. Nokia N70 has a relatively smaller feature set than Nokia N90 and Nokia N91. But, instead of saying Nokia N70 as yet another smartphone, we can say Nokia N70 as the smallest series 60 smartphone by Nokia.

Features

Nokia N70 is also said to be a copy of Nokia 6680. Infact, it is more or less true. You could find some additional features and some features similar but better than Nokia 6680. Nokia N70 is basically a 3G smartphone with dual camera. This time, the camera is 2 Megapixels instead of 1.3 as in Nokia 6680. Addition of 30Mb built-in memory and RS-MMC slot makes it a lot better than Nokia 6680.
Nokia N70 is able to play both audio and video in various format. It can also record video in real and mpg formats. If you compare N70 with N90 and N91, you will find a slimmer, smarter and lighter look i.e. 109 x 53 x 18 mm and 126 grams. I see a huge group of people have size and weight at their first priority.

Conclusion

Nokia N70 could get a hit because of a nice combination of series 60 smartphone with smaller size lighter weight. Although, Nokia N70 didnt bring some new annovation as Nokia N91 brought 4Gb hard disk, Nokia N90 brought 3rd party optics. But mp3 is there with expandable memory, 2MP camera is there, and last but not the least, its a UMTS phone. Nokia N70 expected to be released in 3rd Quarter of 2005. No word about the price. An EDGE version is also expected to be released.
