Rating: Reviewed by Robert Thorne on 19/11/2011 Nokia 6700 - Worst mobile phone I have ever come across!!! Right from Day 1 dropped calls constantly to the point I had to call people 4 or 5 times on occasions to finish call. After 3 months the '0' digit on the keypad stopped working and when pressed threw up either 9 or #. Took it back to CPW and went in for repair and also to sort call dropping problem. Got it back and keypad sorted but still dropping calls. Tried to persevere for a month or two with it but had to take it back to CPW again as couldn't live with it. They had the audacity to tell me that it had internal water damage and couldn't be repaired which was absolute nonsense. After another attempt at repairing it they conceded it was faulty and gave me a new one. No difference to the call dropping problem whatsoever! Have tried to live with this for months now and getting very tedious! Looked at it this afternoon to check for texts and screen has packed up now and going to have to go back to CPW again on Monday. The phone is an absolute nightmare and not fit for the purpose. very funny how the temporary phone (a basic plastic job one step up from a piece of string and two yoghurt cartons) given to me while it was in for repair never dropped one call?! 10 months left on my contract and not happy!

Hasn't even made it out of the shop before it went wrong again. Predictive is rubbish, camera is slow and complex to use. Looking to change both make of phone and network after the way this has been dealt with by vodaphone hereford. Rating: Reviewed by Johnbob on 05/09/2011 I love my 6700 Classic... the camera is fantastic and good enough to produce A3 size calendars from the pictures. I don't want a computer; I want a good camera phone, and this definately fits the bill. Best phone I've had for a long time. Rating: Reviewed by Edna on 30/08/2011 I so much love this phone. I used it a couple of months after which the phone got spoilt because it fell on three different occasions and the charging system was compromised.

Even with full (3G)reception I have had missed calls. Not sure if it's orange but I reckon its the phone, I am tempted to try another contract with orange to see if it is the phone and not the operator. Rating: Reviewed by Rob W on 24/07/2011 I got this home hoping it would have a decent size font for texting but found the largest setting is so small it went straight back in the box again. Why can't manufacturers realise we don't all have perfect eyesight and its not always practical to carry reading glasses around all the time. very disappointing Rating: Reviewed by Daudu umar on 24/07/2011 Oooh nokia,ur phones are fantastic,u are the best.

Rating: Reviewed by Richard Knowles on 17/07/2011 This 'phone is quite simply the most unreliable Nokia I have ever owned and it is less than five months old! The phone hangs in mid call and today the phone froze when taking an important call and will not switch on again! I am in contact with Nokia and will attempt to get it replaced under guarantee with another model; It will have to be, of course, a Nokia but I will never buy the Nokia brand again. A quick move around with SIMs and my next phone will be an Apple. Rating: Reviewed by billy on 13/07/2011 excellent phone for a business person as you can hear very clearly. Rating: Reviewed by simon on 12/07/2011 Ive had this phone for 18 months now & although im due an upgrade I cant really see anything I like that has this phones features. ( I wouldnt have a touchscreen in a gift! - they are still 20 years away from getting those reliable!) Its not perfect tho, the GPS is a joke ! if you leave it sitting outside undisturbed for several hours it SOMETIMES shows its position but thats worse than useless! My cars GPS is 11 years old & will show the position within 2- 3 seconds! Its also meant to be a 3g phone ( whatever that means!) but Ive never seen the 3g symbol on the screen! other than those niggles I love the phone although its getting very worn looking now - pity Nokia dont do their Xpresson covers any more! all in all a good all round phone.

I think it is good apart from the fact that the screen breaks superfast.... This makes life a teensy bit difficult but it still works great. The bluetooth does not work but it has a great camera.... And it fits in your hand. Oh and it won't slip out of your pocket.

I have been advised (NOT by nokis) to change my sim card, Rating: Reviewed by ChainSawNick on 19/04/2011 Don't waste your money on the Nokia Classic 6700. There is a problem with the BlueTooth and no solution to fix from Nokia. Rating: Reviewed by Di on 16/04/2011 Bought this phone one week today. Was really impressed with it, although twice it turned itself off and I had to take out battery and put it back in for it to work again. This morning I sent a text, the screen came up to tell me how much credit I had left, and froze. Turned it off, and now it won't switch back on. So I'm now fuming. Rating: Reviewed by Steve on 14/04/2011 So how is the Nokia 6700 Classic two years on from release? Well if my experience of buying from Carphone Warehouse is anything to go by, still pants. Bluetooth audio drops if the phone is more than a foot or so from the headset. So don't even think of placing it somewhere extreme like a trouser pocket. The tapping facility simply doesn't work. GPS takes an eternity to get a fix. Camera shutter lag is unacceptale. To cap all this CPW & Nokia seem to have entered into some sort of conspiracy as these CPW specific handsets cannot be updated to the latest software. So no free SatNav. Nokia should be able to produce this kind of thing with their eyes closed - it's hardly cutting edge. I ignored all the negatives & was swayed by one individual. Don't follow my mistake. :( Rating: Reviewed by TIM on 12/04/2011 I HAVE ALLWAYS HAD NOKIA PHONES NEVER HAD ANY PROBS THE 6700 IS THE WORST PHONE IVE EVER HAD AFTER BEING REPARED 45MINS LATER I FOUND IT WAS THE SAME.2MORE NOKIA 6700 LATER ITS THE SAME. SO IAM GOING TO TRY AND CHANGE IT FOR A BETTER MAKE THAN NOKIA Rating: Reviewed by Garry on 08/04/2011 I like my 6700, it's a good looking capable little phone for the money, but want to like it more... Unfortunately I am now on my second 6700 after having to return the first to Nokia, during the warranty, after it ended up totally inoperable due to the all too common freezing and crashing issues, that many others besides myself have had. Nokia couldn't get it going again so sent me a replacement. Five months later, that replacement phone is also now shutting down, freezing and crashing without warning. I've had one mobile phone or another for about ten years now, mostly Nokia and the 6700 is the only one that has ever needed repair/replacing of any kind. There seems to be no clear reason why some have no issues at all and others, like myself, have recurring problems with their 6700s. I don't think Nokia are any the wiser either because the random crashing and shut down problems are no secret and are widely reported yet sucessive firmware updates have not resolved anything. You might be lucky or you might end up with a phone with reliabliity issues.

I love it and have no intentions of changing it until it breaks as it seems better than most phones on the market currently and can't match its specifications. Dropped it many a time and its fine and also I've never really experienced it freezing only when I have over 2500 texts Rating: Reviewed by Nabeel on 22/03/2011 Best Phone Made Ever Rating: Reviewed by Miss R on 16/03/2011 In the last year I have had to return my 6700 classic 4 times. I got it back two weeks ago after another two weeks away. It lasted 2 days and went again, I've had enough of it I've gone back to my old reliable. My friend has a 3 month old N8 did exactly the same, another friend a X3-02 something is up with nokia software; NOKIA whats happening Rating: Reviewed by Pratap on 15/03/2011 It is quite a cute phone, but heavy, it works well but the draw back is that you havae to carry a charger unlike the other models which use standard charger for all phones.

Rating: Reviewed by Lek on 07/03/2011 I still have mine. Love it. Rating: Reviewed by Joy Sayers on 03/03/2011 When I first got the mobile, I took it back to Optus, only to have the assistant take the battery out and then put it back in. Then it worked. Well I have done this a number of times when it has dropped out. However, after a year, it is dropping out all the time and is very frustrating when you have a conversation broken into 3 phone calls or more. Also it drops out even when it shows 3 signals! So now I am really confused. How can it be bad reception?? Have I bought a lemon?? Also the picture would turn to blank/white and so the opening of the back, take the battery out and put it back in, would take place before hopefully it would start up again. Rating: Reviewed by Steve on 22/02/2011 Every morning when I try to turn it on, it turns itself off for every 19 of 20 tries. It looks like restarting 2-3 times, and then turns off. So it's a half hour show to just get this on.... Rating: Reviewed by Jaycee on 17/02/2011 Very poor phone. Don't buy it. Rating: Reviewed by brian/londonderry on 16/02/2011 got this phone on orange contract,now on my 4th inside a year .screen went blank,freezes,losesc network for hours complete tat Rating: Reviewed by Pam on 12/02/2011 I eventually got used to testing on it! The problem being the keyboard is sooo low down on the phone that it's awkward to get to the '9' key comfortably & extremely awkward to get to the key below it! That infuriated me for a few days as I like to text fast! My prob now is that the screen has been acting up with lines down the screen which has progressed to a dark dark screen over 2 days! Pissed off as only have the phone since last Sept, I didn't drop it & it was the most expensive phone I've bought so far & has lasted the least length of time. Had a look at some later reviews & apparently it's one of the probs with this phone. Back to my old bAshed up 2.5 yr old K Nokia that has been dropped, chips off the paint , back falls off occasionally but guess what she's still going! Sorry I left her in the first place ... Looks aren't everything!! Rating: Reviewed by Alastair on 11/02/2011 Strange reading all these reviews where the phone freezes/switches off, I have had a 6700 for about 6 months now and have not had any such problems. The main beef I have about mine is the appalling battery life, on standby it lasts about 48 hours, which is not very good. Another problem is that if you replace the memory card with one larger than the one supplied, you loose your GPS facility, the files required for this operation are on the memory card supplied with the phone and I have found it impossible to copy them to my new card. Guess it is going to be a Sony next time which is a shame because I have had Nokia phones since they were bigger than a house brick.... Rating: Reviewed by Beth on 10/02/2011 I have had this phone for nearly 2 years and nothing has ever gone wrong with it. All the features work perfectly and the camera is great !! Rating: Reviewed by Judie on 31/01/2011 Love this phone however this is the second handset ive had and am now writing to O2 about it as they wont give me a replacement, screen freezes on texting, and have lost my recently used option when messaging and the message recipients in the log menu, very annoying and time consuming having to scroll through my contacts all the time, when are they going to listen to people and get the software right, theres enough complaints on here from what I have read. Very disappiointing, had two 6300 prior to this and had no problems. Disheartened. Rating: Reviewed by Lynette Fatchen on 30/01/2011 I bought a Nokia 6700 slide July 2010, by November the speaker had packed it in (BTW this phone sees very little use and is mint condition), took it bak to the dealer and it got sent to a Nokia care centre here in Adelaide Australia and didn't get it back until late January only to find the speaker is still not working. Returned to the dealership only to be told the only thing they can do is send it back for repair. What the? It only came back and hasn't even been used. I would love to just get my money back, but oh no they are only a dealer, so they can't refund my money. Well Nokia you are going to get a phone call about this. Not satisfied at all. Looks good but is a piece of nothing worth owning. Rating: Reviewed by Brett on 27/01/2011 This phone was good for over 6 months but now has issues with battery life. I have tried resetting the phone to factory setting and have recently replaced the battery with no success. This is my fourth nokia and the first with any real problems. Rating: Reviewed by Shirley on 16/01/2011 I bought my Nokia 6700 classic and now after 4 months the screen just goes black & blank. Does the mobile have a 1yr guarantee.

Rating: Reviewed by Lisa on 05/01/2011 I got this phone via 3 in Feb 2010 - was unsure whether to go for it after reading these reviews but the guys in the shop convinced me.... It has been great until the beginning of Dec 2010 when it switched off mid call and wouldn't switch on again. Took it back to 3 who sent it away for repair, came back apparently fixed, however when I came to put my sim card in it wouldn't switch on again...took it back to 3 again and it switched on fine in the shop so I took it home again - went to to put my sim in and it wouldn't switch on! Took it back again today and it switched on in the shop but while the guy was playing with it it did switch off and wouldn't switch back on so it has been sent off for repair again...watch this space!! Seems this model really does have a problem that will make itself apparent sooner or later! Rating: Reviewed by JESS on 01/01/2011 HAD NO PROBS GOOD PHONE. STARTS UP OK CARNT THINK OF ANYTHING BAD. Rating: Reviewed by youhaveearnedmyhatenokia on 28/12/2010 I do not trust any of the positive reviews. I believe many if not all were written by Nokia people employed to trawl the fora and fix bad press. I suffer daily trying to use this phone. Yes it's nice and shiny and solid and heavy and the display looks pretty. But there are issues. The GPS doesn't work and both the Nokia and the provider claim it's not their problem. The phone does freeze a lot, particularly while trying to take photos. It's as if it didn't have enough RAM, and crashes. And the damn software is SLLOOOOOW. Editing, it takes forever to get over telling me it's copied something to clipboard. I can't customise this stupid popup away. Sometimes the contacts takes forever to open. The predictive text appears to be broken, and I don't know how to fix it. I've tried connecting to the computer and updating; always 'up to date already'. Examples; every time i want to type the common word 'send', it thinks i want 'rend'. 'Rend' is rare. I don't know if I've ever used it. The phone doesn't seem to be learning. Yet once, I must have used the ampersand, and now every time i want a full stop, I get the damned ampersand instead. So it's learning; learning the wrong thing. There's a problem with plurals; the phone doesn't seem rigged to accommodate them, so I've got to stop and reverse up and enter 's'. grr waste of time. Same with 'cafe', I word I use all the time. It thinks I want 'bade', which I've never used. There aren't words for how much I hate this. But worst of all is the fact that the dictionary is absolutely moronic. It feels like if you have a vocab of more than 200 words, the phone chokes. I need a phone with a proper frigging dictionary that contains a broader lexicon so I'm not continually having to add, add, add to the damned dictionary. When you make a typo, which is fairly often because the keyboard is recessed, flat and with relatively undifferentiated keys, you get the questionmark which forces you to reverse before you can enter the right letter. That's a drag. I wish that the menu items had nembers as of old so that I could just enter the series and get to the branch of the menu I need without the necessity to scroll, scroll, scroll. grrrRR Waste of time! This phone wastes my time in every way! It is just cumbersome and slow and stupid in the software. Is it Nokia or Symbian who should be blamed for this? I don't know and don't care; out of poverty and interest I've built my own computer, but understand me please Nokia I don't want to have to learn to build my own damned phone and firmware. One more HUUGE gripe; the impossibility of legally installing more than one language and character set; how DARE they presume based on geographical location what language we should have! It's as bad as DVD zoning. If only the phone was as easy to hack as my DVD player :(( One star for feel appeal. Damn you to hell Nokia Rating: Reviewed by keith from Cairns on 27/12/2010 u always have to put the phone on speaker or people can't hear you...

Rating: Reviewed by w smyth on 22/11/2010 Hi i have the 6700 classic, generally a good phone, biggest problem is when talking to someone the volume when adjusted to loudest is still too low, nokia needs to seriously up the volume on all their phones, when used through bluetooth handsfree kit for car its a disaster, no enough sound volume. Also phone cover and keys are quite slippy to hold and use Rating: Reviewed by simon on 10/11/2010 had this phone for 7 months now . It has recently developed a fault- when i turn on camera it freezes. I have to take the battery out to get it going. I took it to carphone warehouse to get fixed under warranty but they have had to send it back to nokia cos its too hard for them to fix! Im expecting this to be a scam & they will try & say I broke it myself & there will be a charge! My only other problem with this is the GPS. It is RUBBISH! it does eventually work but only after about 30 minutes! what good is that? My car tells me where i am in 2 seconds! They tell me if I connect to the internet it will work faster but we all know how much THAT costs! No thanks! Rating: Reviewed by Rod Gronow on 10/11/2010 When these phones first came out I 'drooled' over the new Nokia 6700 Classic in Chrome. It felt solid and well made and contained all the features I needed for my business contacts, Organiser, 5 mp camera etc. A worthy successor to my old faithful 6500c - Unfortunately not! First of all I bought a 2nd hand one of these that was locked to "3" network. My 1st mistake - theyre practically impossible to get unlocked by "3" unless you were the original purchaser - & certainly not for an economic price! I was going to sell this and buy a 'Sim-Free' 6700 before the girlfriend bagged it for herself. I then purchased a new Sim-Free 6700 for £192. BIG Mistake! During the past 10 months, the 'used' 3-network phone has developed problems with its bluetooth, its Loudspeaker and its software and was taken to the local Nokia Repairer 3 times before it was replaced with a brand new one last May. Due to her experience, this brand new phone was sat in the cupboard until November unused before I passed it on to my Nephew at Uni (who had lost his phone). My brother fully charged the phone and before it was even used to make a single call installed the 'latest software' as prompted in text messages received from Nokia. This resulted in the phone freezing and would neither re-boot not switch itself off! My own factory 'Sim-Free' Phone worked fine for the first 6 months before experiencing similar problems to the "3" network 6700 I had owned. It has been to the repairer twice and (quite frankly) I will never use this piece of Junk again, as I cannot afford to get lumbered with these regular and ongoing faults - which Nokia themselves MUST KNOW ABOUT! I have spoken to the Nokia Agent about getting these phones replaced for another different Nokia model of similar spec but without success and I will now be writing to Nokia direct with the same request. Trading Standards should be made aware of the poor quality of these phones and the repeated attempts made by Nokia (and their Agents) to pretend that there is no common fault or reliability issues with this particular phone! I WILL NEVER BUY A NOKIA AGAIN BECAUSE OF MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE NOKIA 6700 C Rating: Reviewed by Daytona on 06/11/2010 loved the phone when i bought it, had problems with standby time, not what it says on the tin! been back 3 times but stand by time more like 72 to 100 hours. Rating: Reviewed by mark day on 01/11/2010 the nokia 6700 classic is the best phone i had Rating: Reviewed by raymond charles stockley on 31/10/2010 both myself and my partener got the same phone mine only lasted 9months before the screen went blank and my partners 11months nokias get out was you must of got it wet Rating: Reviewed by Jim on 27/10/2010 well, maybe my experience is not typical but nevertheless...I LOVE my 6700c. So much that even after my contract allowed me to upgrade to the N900, i still use my 'old' 6700c because it always works. Went with me on holidays to middle east and have taken all my pics with it, really excellent results. After very intensive use, the only sign of wear and tear is the silver paint on the central selection button, it is coming off a little bit but as the plastic below is white-ish it doesn't really show. Casing is not scratched, screen is still shiney. I really struggle to find fault with it. Rating: Reviewed by Sofia on 17/10/2010 I got this phone because my previous one broke. The phone was not brand new, it had been refurbished. I thought it good when i heard when it was refurbished because I was reading reviews saying how it freezes etc. So i thought mine would work fine after it being fixed. But it soon became apprarent it still wasn't working. When I try to open up messages it freezes on "opening message". Therefore I can't read my message. But I worked my way around this. I had to save the message as a tempalate and then I was able to read it. This was time consuming and a hassle. Once or twice it has switched it's self off. But appart from this, it is a good phone. Camera, messaging and internet are good. But the phone doesn't have a torch, which is dissapointing. Rating: Reviewed by Kaizer on 16/10/2010 Contrary to so many negative reviews here, this phone has proven itself to be very reliable for me. I've been using it for more than a year (bought it in Jul '09) and the phone has never missed a beat. During this period, the phone has only crashed twice - both of which happened when zooming in large photos (I'm assuming it ran out of memory). Apart from that issue, it's been pretty much a pleasant experience for me. Highlights of this phone: ultra-fast 3.5G, brilliant call clarity, nice comfortable keypad to text on, excellent camera and long battery life (easily lasts up to four days). What makes this phone stands out from the rest though, is the premium build quality. The stainless steel body just screams quality, a very nice change from the typical toy-like plasticky-Nokia feel. Rating: Reviewed by James on 12/10/2010 I've had my Nokia 6700 replaced 3 times in 6 months. Even my fourth handset continues to crash, freeze, shut down, and at times refuse to turn on again! I like the simplicity of the phone, and its appearance.. But its reliability is terrible. I think problems like this really cause users to lose confidence in the manufacturer. I'm not sure I'll be sticking with Nokia after this experience..

Rating: Reviewed by john on 27/09/2010 well where do i start,in a word, useless. switches off part way thru texting, wont let you answer incoming calls, (and i used this phone for business). Have now returned this poor excuse of a phone to carphone warehouse 3 times were i am told its virtually a brand new phone having had all its inners replaced. Froze within seconds of leaving the store after first repair, nearly 3 wks later returned & became faulty again within three wks. Went in 10 days ago again, freezing, un-able to answer calls picked back up 2 days ago with yet more new inners so im led to believe and froze immediately after charging. steer clear is my advice.

Rating: Reviewed by Luckyfin on 20/09/2010 I have had this phone since Aug last yr (2009) and I have no complaints at all. It meets all my requirements - it looks gorgeous - the build quality is excellent - the range of features are above and beyond what the normal person would normally expect from their mobile. I have NEVER experienced any drag or crashing of software and regarding screen breaking - well if you own a quality piece of kit you treat it with respect i.e take the necessary measures to protect it !!after all its not one of your £29.99 tesco specials is it !! 10 out of 10 in my opinion and would recommend this to everyone - hey girls if you get the classic chrome it doubles up as a mirror :-) Rating: Reviewed by Ivan Pleho on 12/09/2010 Well I had to replace my phone as I lost it when I had been to do a job in a place called grey town in KWA-ZULU natal and lo and behold I found this amazing NOKIA cell phone witch could take two sim cards so immediatly I only needed one phone for work and at the same time one for my private calls it works pritty well only the software is not the best Rating: 1 - 100 | 101 - 200 | 201 - 261 | Next 100 Reviews Consumer Reviews from other websites (112 reviews)Nokia 6700 Classic Reviews at Mobile Phones UK (112 reviews)
