Nokia 6700 Slide Review
Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: The Nokia 6700 Slide is a slide phone with an
impressive camera, fast 3G HSDPA connection and the power of the Symbian
smartphone operating system. But we feel that its power is limited by
the small screen size, lack of touchscreen operation, small memory and
poor battery life. It's also a particularly unreliable phone. Available
in Silver, Pink, Purple or Red.
Review: May 2010. Last updated February 2011.
The Nokia 6700 Slide is an updated version of the 6500
Slide. Or alternatively, it's a slide version of the 6700
Classic. But whichever way you put it, there's no escaping the fact that
both the 6500 Slide and the 6700 Classic were notoriously unreliable phones.
But wait, there's more. In their wisdom Nokia have replaced the Series 40 operating
system with Symbian version 9.3, making the 6700 Slide a smartphone and bringing
three unreliable technologies together in one giant melting pot of innovation.
What could possibly go wrong?
First things first. Let's wipe the slate clean and assess the 6700 Slide on
its own terms. It's a very nice looking slide design phone. Nothing remarkable
about it. It's not ultrathin or anything notable, but it looks and feels well
made. Like all Nokia slide phones it's surprisingly heavy and suffers from a
slight wobble, but otherwise feels solid. The display is quite good for a slide
phone, with 16 million colours and a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. However,
it's only 2.2 inches in size, so it doesn't come anywhere near the size of the
current generation of touchscreen phones. This tends to limit the kind of apps
that you can run and leads us to question why Nokia decided to equip the phone
with a Symbian operating system.
The phone is priced as an entry-level smartphone or a mid-range "dumb"
phone, so we don't expect too many features. So it's a nice surprise to discover
just how good the camera is. At 5 megapixels, with Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus
and dual flash, this is one of the best camera phones in its price bracket,
and is on a par with the more expensive Nseries Nokia phones. The video camera
is superb too, and is capable of recording in VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels)
at high quality. The phone is even equipped with a video editor, and there's
a secondary video camera for making video calls.
For music, the phone uses the Nseries music player, which is fully featured
and can handle all popular digital music formats. The 2GB memory card supplied
with the phone is enough to store around 500 MP3 tracks, and if you want more
you can upgrade the card to a maximum of 16GB. There's also an FM radio with
RDS. Disappointingly, the headphone connection is a Nokia 2.5mm jack, so you
won't be able to connect any headphones that require a standard 3.5mm connection.
The phone has a very fast internet connection, with HSPA providing downloads
of up to 10 Mbps and uploads of 2Mbps, so data transfer is very fast. However,
the small screen size and lack of touchscreen functionality hardly makes for
an engaging web browsing experience, and with only a standard alphanumeric keypad,
serious emailing is out of bounds. The limited range of apps once again brings
into question what this phone is for.
Apart from the fast 3G connection, connectivity is rather limited, with Bluetooth
and USB being the only options. Memory is also severely restricted, with just
60MB of onboard memory, much of which gets eaten by the operating system. The
battery is also rather small and battery life is relatively poor as a result.
The Nokia 6700 Slide is a very strange beast. What appears to be a straight
forward mid-range slider with a good camera reveals itself to be a Symbian-powered
smartphone with lightning fast 3G data transfer. But with a small screen, conventional
alphanumeric keypad and small memory, the power of the phone is severely limited.
When you add in the general tendency that Symbian has to freeze or shut down
completely, plus the many, many problems experienced with the phone's predecessors,
it's very hard for us to recommend the phone to you. But it does look nice.
And it's a Nokia.

- 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, dual LED flash and
8x digital zoom

HATE THIS PHONE! Do not buy one. I bought it in December 2010. I found
the user guide to be completely unfriendly and had to search to find
the most basic information. Then I started having most of the problems
other people have listed, the phone freezing, then switching itself
off, the internet freezing, text changing itself to only typing the
first character available or numbers only and wouldn't correct itself
unless the battery was taken out. Then two weeks ago the phone froze
on the internet, switched itself off and then died completely. Been
to Nokia for free repair, they said it's broken due to moisture ingress
into the phone, which is not covered under the manufacturers warranty.
I wouldn't mind if I'd had the phone anywhere wet. They say it's likely
to be caused by excess atmospheric moisture, extreme climatic conditions
(you may like to note that I live in England!!) or steam from the kitchen!
A complete load of rubbish! It was a rubbish phone from the start and
now it's completely broken and I'm over £100 out of pocket. Will NEVER
buy Nokia again.

yep. I got mine as a gift and it worked fine until I had an issue with
the battery cover , no probs getting warranty fix, except they upgraded
the software version and its been useless ever since. It freezes, it
shuts down, it takes over 5 seconds to respond to most things like 'new
text message', if i try to display more than one image while on the
internet all i get is a white page and a 'memory full' message :( The
sound from the tiny speaker at the back is useless for handsfree talking,
like Im suppose to do while driving because I cant have the phone right
to my ear. Its slow to delete my inbox and sent box, usually if i try
delete a couple hundred old messages i will often start it up and then
go make a coffee. My old 6500 slide was much better :( it finally died
after a few years of faithful use. I miss it alot. Im considering 'dropping'
this piece of junk in the nearest puddle so I can ask my wife for a
new different phone :) SHAME ON NOKIA !!!

This has got to be the worst phone ever made. It will lock up mid-conversation
then not turn off. Once I do get it to power off (usually y removing
the battery) it will not power up again. The one trick I learned (but
isn't working anymore) to fix the "lock up" is to remove the battery,
press and hold the power on button until it vibrates and then release.
This may take several tries for it to work but keep pressing and holding.
If this doesn't work, try the same steps I mentioned before but with
the power cord attached. If this doesn't work, try banging it on the
table. This method has actually worked for me as well. WHY DO I HAVE
TO BEAT MY PHONE IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK?!?!?! Shame on you Nokia for
making such a poor product. I wish there was a zero star rating or a
minus star rating. This phone definitely deserves the lowest possible
rating.

Excellent phone, one just has to take an hour to learn how to use it
especially if one had a simple phone. Always make sure that you have
no applications running in the background, that will prevent freezing.
Back up your files, then perform a firmware update using either N.S.U
or O.T.A, when compleated perform a hard factory reset. When in general
use thereafter don't over install sis or java applications on c-drive
instead utillise e-drive, keep your R.A.M consumption low. Operating
within these parameters will ensure a very smooth user experience and
will enable you to get the best from your phone. Simples.

Very poor camera, No way a 5 mp, that poor in fact that i never really
use it so if you want a decent camera do not go for this phone. Internet
is ok but remember it has a small screen and needs at least 3 bars signal
to work. The handset itself is cheap and my camera button has already
fell off after only a few months. Predictive text is annoying as the
sinple word of 'a' always comes up as 'c' and no amount of changing
this letter it keeps coming up 'c'. Seems petty but you see how many
times you out 'a' in a sentence and you'll understand. Overall, i am
not picky. I don't want to ,uch from a phone and this still seems to
disappoint. Sorry.

Had the phone for a week and so far, so good. The reports of software
issues are unfounded. Not had a single problem with it. I'm not a touchscreen
fan, and prefer a phone that lasts for more than one day without the
need for charging. I also need a phone that sits in my pocket and if
it gets scratched, wont cost £350 to replace. The battery life appears
fine and gives three days with normal usage. The internet is very, very
fast on this phone. I'm on Vodafone and the 3.5g it uses loads very
fast. Hot syncing with my pc i used bluetooth and it worked first time.
Calls are very clear. The camera is great, but dont expect too much
from it. I love the calendar and the ability for the phone to display
my next appointment on the front screen. So far this phone is a brilliant
workhorse, unlike my iphone 3gs that ran out of battery within a day.

I have owned this phone for 2 weeks and it is driving me crazy. The
screen freezes and shuts itself down daily. The worst issue so far is
the unreliable signal, which comes and goes making phone calls very
unpleasant.Prior to this, I have never had a problem with reception
in my flat, my husband's phones have all worked fine too, however this
nokia is a nightmare. I have to do the dance in front of the window
saying into a dead phone "are you still there? Can you hear me?" etc
etc... ANNOYING.. This issue is not limited to my home,using the phone
in the park or in the street can also result in lost signal/shutting
itself down. I am heading back to shop today as this phone is not fit
for purpose.

This phone is excellent if you are the kind of person that wants to
avoid the big heavy Smartphone Slab appearance, and likes a sharp, well-built
metallic phone design. However, it does have moderate smartphone features.
I own it, it's sharp, I've got it syncing with my computer, the UI is
good, messaging in particular is cool, the standby screen design is
pretty handuy. If you are interested in this phone, I answer questions
and issues about it on my Nokie 6700 Slide blog. Check out the information

I just got this phone and I think is lovely. Poor battery? Well thats
not a big surprise, I knew it before I got it. Its obviously the compromise
you get whit small phones and not only this one. Poor camera? I think
whoever experience that with this phone needs to return it because the
camera is brilliant. I guess for people used to big touch screens, qwerty
keyboards etc. this phone is obviously not a good alternative. However,
if you are not a phone-internet-browse dependent and use a phone for
making calls and texting then you are going to be more than alright.

Well ive had this phone for about 4 weeks now and i havent had any problems
with it so far. I think its a good phone for the price and the screen
size is no smaller than it was on mobiles a couple of years ago before
touch screens came out, its big enough to see and thats all you need
really. If i wanted a big screen i would have bought a bigger phone.
The one slight critisism i have is that the txt format has changed and
sometimes can be a pain having to go back through the message to change
words but that i can cope with if thats as bad as it gets.

Best phone I ever owned. I can't believe this gets 3 stars when the
Samsung Jet gets 5. I replaced my Samsung Jet (which I didn't like,
1 reason being the awful FM receiver the Nokia 6700s has an excellent
FM radio receiver) with this Nokia 6700s phone. (I realised also that
I don't like touchscreens much) The only draw-back to this phone is
2.5mm audio jack instead of 3.5 but you can buy good quality 2.5mm headphones
nowadays so not even this is a problem. I can txt very quickly with
this phone, with the sole use of my right hand, if you like classic-style
phones and not into touchscreens this phone is ace. Excellent and cool
software, I can change mp3 details and have slide-show wallpaper. This
phone has kept my faith in Nokia, they are the best for me.

I nearly always go with Nokia's, but I hate this phone. I am a big texter,
and the keypad is really bad for texting! Maybe I've just got big finger,
but the top section of the slide gets in the way when trying to text.
I didn't find it at all easy to use, and have gone back to my old phone.

The phone drives me nuts sending texts! It is a lot slower than any
phone i have ever had! Even with full signal it can take between 5 -
10 secs. to send 1 message. Text also very small so if your eye sight
is not perfect may have difficulty. Has some good features but i think
if i had known how slow it would be i wouldn't have had it.

I do generally like the 6700 Slide, but two problems with it are really
bugging me. As stated above, the phone has a tendency to freeze up.
The other, and bigger problem for me is that it regularly fails to send
through texts from other people. I have to keep turning the phone off,
then back on again, and sometimes I then receive 8 or more texts all
at once. My daughter has also phoned me and said she can't get through,
but I haven't been on the phone, the phone is just blocking calls as
well as text messages.

I bought 6700 Slide in April. I had internet turned of because I was
billed for use I had not intended or knew I had used. I had all diverts
turned of because my calls kept being diverted to answerphone. Now instead
I keep getting calls - just one or two rings and nothing. Not a missed
call but a received one according to the phone. I have tried with Orange
to sort this. First they changed the gap between rings-? Then told me
to only use GSM. No luck yet. Keyboard keys are a bit small and hard
to feel. It is a beautiful phone but receiving calls is 50% of the point
for me.

This is without doubt the worst device I have ever owned in 20 years
of mobile phone useage. As a mobile phone it fails continuasly to received
signals, the bluetooth connection is at best fagile and the screen so
small that unless you have perfect conditions you cannot read it. It
receives e-mails well but the "text" key pad is totally unsuitable for
a responce. A completety ill conceived device that looks good but does
not deliver on any normal criteria.

was delivered this phone by accident but have given it a go. Despite
having same button layout as the ergonomic disaster e52 that it replaced
they are different heights and sizes so it is very easy to use. I mainly
use it to phone and text but no gps or wifi are a little annoying. I
have marked it down because of the appalling battery life which is just
as bad as the e52 (less than 36h) if you are a light user with bluetooth
on.
