> Help wanted: Nokia N70 or SE K800?
Bookmark topic
Girlfriend needs a new phone. It’ll be either the SE K800 or the Nokia N70, because we can get those two cheap.
Now, the N70 looks nice because it has Symbian = she can run C64 emulator (Frodo) and play the good old games. That is a huge plus. We have also learned that the N70 can record video in high quality, but video-recording isn’t so high on the wish-list. Taking normal pictures is higher.
The SE K800 takes very nice pictures, and I know from experience with the K700 and W800 that the K800 is a superb phone, BUT it is not a smartphone so playing C64 games emulated is out of the question.
The N70 is therefore preferred right now, because of Symbian…. But we’re in doubt if it runs fast enough. We’ve seen several users complain about it being slow, which gets us thinking if it will run a C64 emulator like Frodo fast enough. That question brought us here. Can someone answer these questions for us?
1: Can the Nokia N70 run Frodo without problems? How many FPS can it give?
2: Is the Nokia N70 slow otherwise? (We know that the K800 can’t possible be slow. SE rules).
3: What would YOU prefer and why?
Thanks.

N70 is crap.

Thanks for the replies.
We have just read somewhere that the N70 can play SID files too (Commodore64 music). That is also a big plus.
Rifqi_Aziz: Why do you think the N70 is crap? What's your experience with it?

did u gave atry for n70 already? thesymbian is really good, plenty of applications are for it, very fast on umts system, next to keypad the crap display resolution was disturbing for me. if it counts, the cam is accepteable aswell. i do liked the "mtv edition" of it, i saw it in copenhagen lately.

BobaFett: No, we haven't tried any of the phones. If we could try them out for a week before buying we wouldn't have to ask questions.

Who's "godaften"? Is it me or someone else?
@mr_lou
I don't have Nokia N70 but have had a little try of it. Its sound is really bad compare to W800. W800 also better in its 2 MP camera.
K800 is 3.2MP so it will definetely beats camera of N70.
The advantage of N70 over K800 may be for its Symbian OS only.
But if you do need a Symbian phone, why don't you consider Nokia N73? I think it's better than N70 and got a 3.2MP camera also.

Had an N70(sim-free), media key stopped working(at all) after 2 days; it couldn't understand my contacts .vcf file and only added the first one(leaving some 483 'missing'); couldn't remember when it was supposed to be playing music(i.e: before AND after a call); the 220hz processor should have been left in a 6630; oh, and I had it flashed to v.5 firmware by Nokia, and only the media key was actually fixed! No change in operating speed, and music player started giving me spanish(? 'a processar' displayed when scanning for music) output!
Sold it 2 days later, got my P900 flashed to P910 f/w, and used that until I got my K800(which amazingly, has only one slight bug, and thats not any of those listed on here!)...............
