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.

Okay, but seen betterI 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.

Averagethis 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 ..........

I WANT ONE!! 
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!
