Nokia 2700 Classic – Camera & Imaging

When it comes the built-in camera feature on the Nokia 2700 we are disappointed that is only of 2 mega-pixels but that aside it comes with a huge array of imaging features and functions. The user has so many imaging options when taking a snap shot ensuring the best pic can be captured. There is a 4x digital zoom feature, Colour Modes which include – Normal, Sepia, Black & White, Negative and Vivid also the White Balance includes Automatic, Cloudy, Fluorescent, Day-light and Tungsten. The Light Modes are High, Medium, Low and Auto with a Landscape Mode and Capture Modes include Sequence, Still, Self Timer and Video.

Recording your own video a footage will be a must on this simple yet technology packed mobile phone, capturing those spontaneous moments are what make life entertaining. The Nokia 2700 Classic offers recording at 15 frames per second, a 4x digital zoom also again with a vast selection mode options to ensure the best footage is captured with the correct balances. The user can choose from Scene Modes consisting of Automatic, Night, Close Up, Snow, Beach, Cinema and Film to make the footage a little more fun and entertaining. Video footage plays back in MP4 and 3GP video formats. There are screen-savers and wallpapers for the user to jazz up their handset giving a unique style.

Nokia 2700 Classic – Music & Sound

For music entertainment the user can enjoy Nokia's 2700 built-in music player system. This feature offers AMR, AMR WB, MIDI, MXMF, MP3, AAC, X Tone, WAV and WMA music files formats along with an FM Radio with RDS technology. It s always those little bonus features that we love when we buy ourselves a new gadget and the 2700 features Voice Command, Voice Recorder, Audio Recording and a Microphone just for a little more entertainment and fun. As well as looking stylish and modern the Nokia 2700 can sound up-to-date and funky as it offers its user a selection of ring-tone options which include MP3, Polyphonic and Video ring-tones. There is 64 mega-bytes of on board memory on the 2700 Classic plus memory support of up to 2 gigabytes which will offer much more storage space for all the users downloads, pictures and music files.

Nokia 2700 Classic – Internet & Connectivity

Accessing the internet on the Nokia 2700 handset is a breeze with built-in high speed web browsers including HTML, XHTML and Opera Mini browsing technologies. Other technologies included on the 2700 that offer speedy transfers and a great quality of service are EDGE and GPRS and connectivity options the user can benefit from are the Bluetooth, USB and 3.5mm Stereo Headset technologies provided. The Nokia2700 Classic mobile phone operates on a Quad-band network which covers GSM-850/900/1800/1900 which enables the user to have full access of their handset whilst abroad.

Nokia 2700 Classic – Messaging Services

Keeping in contact with others is important and with busy lives what better way to get a message across is via one of the messaging services available on the 2700 Classic mobile phone. The user can choose from the SMS, MMS (multi-media messaging), Nokia Xpress Audio Messaging and Emailing with attachment files. So no matter which service is chosen the user can get that message, video or photo sent in no time.

Nokia 2700 Classic – Gaming & Applications

Some of us like to keep boredom at bay by playing the odd game here and there, the 2700 offers its user a great selection of games which include Pre-loaded games, Snake III, Sudoku, Diamond Rush and Rally Star. Now if these games don't keep you occupied and amused then the user can always resort back to the music player system and listen to their favourite tunes.

Now we all need some assistance from time to time and the one thing we mainly call upon first these days for help is our mobile phones because of the applications tools supplied. The Nokia 2700 Classic is no different and does feature a great selection of tools that not only get us out of those tricky spots but can also keep us organised and on schedule. Here are some of the applications available on the Nokia 2700 Classic mobile phone, Conference Call, Reminders, Count-down Timer, Organiser, Clock and a Calendar to name only a few.

Nokia 2700 Classic – Summary

The Nokia 2700 Classic is a simple yet stylish mobile phone that surprisingly has a lot to offer its users. Ok there is only a 2 mega-pixel camera unlike some of the other high spec camera phones available on the market these days, but it really does feature some fantastic imaging functions and abilities. It has the internet and a music player system as well all the other mod cons we are becoming more and more accustomed to these days. The 2700 will suit most users that are not looking for a high end spec phone with the very latest technologies, but still that isn't a basic handset. The 2700 is a good little all rounder mobile phone but it still does all depend what you are really looking for in terms of a great mobile phone that features all you want it to.

Nokia 2700 Classic Reviewed by Nokia reviewer from Carlisle, UK on Saturday, May 01, 2010

Rating: 3 out of 5.Nokia reviewer rated the Nokia 2700 Classic mobile phone 3 stars  Average

Have two 2700's. Bargain @ £30 online. Even included a 1GB SD memory. Really nice phone/mp3 player/FM radio etc, but with one irritating feature - the screen saver image doesn't work: The screen just goes completely blank and unlit after approx 20 seconds. This can't be changed. So you have to press a button to see anything at all (even to check if the phone is switched on). I suppose this is the ultimate screen saver, but it's very annoying. Lots of comments online about this, but no solution provided by Nokia. I'd have given the 2700 five stars, but with the screen saver problem it only gets 3 stars from me.

Bought two of these handsets...one for me, and the other for my wife. I can only say this is a brilliant handset! It's better than our expectations for everything we ask it to do. Plenty of features and lots of settings to get it just right. Even connecting to the internet is amazingly quick and easy and it browsers beautifully...but if you use the net a lot get a phone with a bigger screen. Buttons are easy to use with big fingers, camera is more than adequate at 2 megapixels, and the phone reacts fast to instructions/inputs. Sound quality is fine as is transmission quality. Batery life is brilliant too for heavy users. Neither my wife nor I can fault these phones, we've had no problems at all! If I'm saying it's a good phone...it's a good phone! I'm fussy as hell.

I bought my Nokia 2700 classic handset in August 2009.  Voice quality problems started rather soon after purchase. There was slight scratching and broken voice in both incoming and outcoming voice quality. The phone also felt hot in the pocket at times, obviously when it contacted the network. Then memory card holder broke and I took the phone back to dealer. First service round took four weeks after which, memory card holder was repaired but voice quality problems continued. I sent the phone to service again, after another two weeks in service it was exactly as before, they just had updated the software, which they already did in the first round. After third service round and in total 10 weeks without a phone I paid for, Nokia swapped my phone to a new one. I talked to warranty department in Finland and they did not take any responsibility just quoting the service matters being service internal issue and not offering any compensation fro the unjustified long service time and poor customer service. I was happy with my replacement phone one evening, the it clitched, display went white and after removing battery it was stone dead. Back to the dealer and fourth service round, this time lasting two weeks only. I received my third Nokia 2700 classic today, warranty department does not answer my call requests any more. Hope the quality has experienced a quantum leap between my second and third phone but am afraid the farce will go on. You can probably independently decide whether the phone is worth buying, I cannot recommend it much.

this one is bad .... no match for  samsung metro , the only point where it scores over the  metro is a good battery
cons

the bundled  earphone is bad. gives below standard music........

hurray it has nokia maps .... but it wont work without  the coupling of an additional accessory  of the nokia gps  device which costs additional  5000 rs or 100$

you cant download google maps and install it in your  mobile . because it wont work on  your s40 device... :)

90% of the symbian applications wont work on your nokia 2700 , 6303 or 6700 mobile ( they work on only series 60 system).......

so basically u are just stuck with a good looking phone .... take care ..........


bad  keypad (  not durable keypad) ,samsung is 16 m colors nokia only 262000 col , and its key pad seems better
just match the two specifications yu   will see the huge diff .......
the size is huge ....... you wont  feel like watching any movie in the video player ....  due to lack of resolution
no data cable ..... bad earphones ..... the worst part is that  the  cable is CA101 , ITS NOT MENTIONED IN THE NOKIA WEBSITE ( 12/2009)
the menu systems , organiser and over layout is good you can synchonise  outlook ovi mail and a lot other applications ..... games are good ... speaker phone and muffled
it has nokia life tools , i  think i quite good for farmers  ... it has a lot of tools which are extremely helpful to farmers
gives onine info for weather crops  temperature etc ....

the ring tones are so low that you cant hear it , if on street or away from handset  you will definitely not hear it  even if its kept in your shirt pocket ...... they have given really bad speakers ..... it does not reproduce the higher frequency sounds well ...... true for its brother 6303.....6700
over all looks 6-7 /10 value for money 6/10
basically a talking phone  , the battery really lasts 3-4 days

dont expect much for the samsung metro .......
my suggestion is if you dont mind charging battery every 1-2 days go for  samsung metro .... when i went to  the mobile store the samsung metro was all sold out , was waiting for a long time finally bought this ,,,

if u dont get the metro in the shop go for lg gm 200

this nokia one is just for talking ..........

Ignore the ** above, the guy just didn't change the default setting.

I've just got one of these and it's a really good phone for the money.  All of the functionality that 90% of users are ever going to need, and feels and looks a nice phone as well.  Mine came with a 1GB SD card already in as well!
