the phone isn't that old ... is it?
To the young cellphone generation it is veritable geriatric :D It also took a world tour before reaching these shores where 3g is in its infancy!
 
It's on contract yes... but still hard to get... anyone know why?
 
Because they are having software issues?

A co-worker of mine got his N70 last week from Nashua, and every time you make a phone call, it wants to connect to the internet (ie asks which APN to use to connect) ... wtf is that all about?
 
There are places that have it - but the new batch is having its software upgraded... so best to wait just that little bit longer.
 
nice bump!! :D

I have seen this phone all over. Have been in and out of cell shops over the last 2 weeks.
 
By the time the N70 gets sorted out, the N80 and N91 will be available...

Software upgrade needed - take it to Vodacare....
Latest software version is:
V5.0609.2.0.1
01-03-06
RM-84
 
Thats what Nokia/Exactmobile told him as well.

I have learnt though that they will always tell you the phone needs a software upgrade if you say something is wrong. 2 upgrades on my 6680 helped jack ****
 
Ye, me agree.
They say this quite often if they themselves do not know the answer but hope a fresh 'whack' will sort you out.

On the other hand, there are reasons new firmware / software versions are released: fixes, updates, etc.
 
Saw the N70 in the Vodacom Winter catalogue on Weekender contract. Nobody else see it?

Would love to get it.
Unfortunately I only upgrade in April 2007 :-(

Checkout the Nokia website for the whole N-series (soon to hit these shores)
 
AFAIK, the N70 is readily available. All outlets are literally punting this phone.

They seem to still be some way off before the N80 will be available. (have headr anything from 1-3 months) :(

I have a theory that they will punt whatever they can get cheaply enough, once it is considered over-the-hill by world standards . . .

But, maybe I'm just cynical.
