Nokia 6700 Classic Silver

The Nokia 6700 Classic Silver is defined by chic styling and a no-nonsense approach to functionality, which is refreshing in a market usually driven by technical advance at the expense of usability and often portability.

On the outside it is a blend of black and silver, with most of its buttons seamlessly integrated into the plastic and chrome shell. Because of the reflective screen and polished battery cover you will probably need to invest in a good case for the 6700 if you want to keep it scratch-free.

About the Nokia 6700 Classic Silver

The 2.2 inch screen is mounted about the navigation keys, which are laid out in the traditional Nokia fashion. If you have used a Nokia handset in the past then using the keys and the numeric keypad to access menus, make calls and write texts will all feel like second nature.

In terms of media functionality the 6700 Classic has a moderately rich feature set. There is a microSD card slot which you can fill with a memory card for directly storing all of your media and photos. You can also connect the phone to your PC via USB to synchronise any data and contact information that you may need, though the software is not as user-friendly as it could be.

One area in which the 6700 Classic excels is battery life. Because it does not have a large screen to power or an overwhelming range of applications to run at the same time, you can squeeze hours of talking, texting and media playback from the handset. As a mobile music device it is capable of constant playback for up to 12 hours, which is ideal for long journeys.

The 6700 Classic has a good range of connectivity options. These include 3G and HSDPA connectivity which allow you to access the internet at speeds of up to 10Mbps where coverage is available. It also has built in GPS navigation, allowing you to find out your exact location and plot your travel plans from the palm of your hand.

The one area which will perhaps dissuade some users is the relatively poor web browsing experience offered by the 6700 Classic. The screen is small, but there is no automatic rotation to the landscape view when you go online and the Opera Mini software struggles to integrate fully with the control scheme of the handset.

Mounted on the side of the device you will find a camera hot key that provides you with direct access to the image capturing application. The 6700 Classic has a 5 megapixel camera on the rear and there is even an LED flash for taking snaps in darker situations, but you will still need to keep your digital camera around for high quality photos.

The 6700 Classic has several useful applications to keep your life organised and to allow you to make notes and calculations when you are away from the office. It may lack some of the smarter apps that you can purchase for more expensive handsets, but for this price you could not ask for much more.

In essence the Nokia 6700 Classic Silver is a great phone for the basics, with voice calling and texting flawlessly executed. It feels and looks like an expensive piece of kit and it has just enough modern features to keep it competitive, so for someone looking for both subtlety and power it may just be perfect.
