Bought this phone from T-Mobile as an upgrade from a Nokia 6300. The specification and quality of the phone is good, but beware as it appears from the Nokia forums that quite a few (including the one I bought) have shipped with a serious flaw relating to the Bluetooth system.
On my phone and the others described in the Nokia forums, when you try and switch on Bluetooth, the device reports it is switching on Bluetooth but then just goes into a loop until the red 'cancel' button is pressed and then it re-sets the phone. You don't lose any data and the phone is fine again in all respects other than Bluetooth, but this is a serious flaw.
I am in the process of getting the faulty phone swapped by T-Mobile and I hope the replacement won't have this flaw as otherwise the phone is really good. (It would be a definite 5-star if it wasn't for the Bluetooth flaw.)
What is good about the phone is:
(1) The HSPDA (10MBs a second if any phone provider could send data at that rate.) is really fast and makes using the built in Mini-Opera browser good to use. You wouldn't want to read something the size of War & Peace on it but for looking up travel connections or general internet surfing it is fine.
(2) The A-GPS is brilliant and Nokia maps is well matched with it. Unlike Google maps where you have to download data and thus run up expensive data roaming charges when abroad, with Nokia maps you can stick in a 8GB Micro SD card and download free the map for the whole of Europe or other parts of the world before you travel. When you fire up the GPS, you can tell it not to download any data and it will use your pre-installed map which costs you nothing.
(3) The 5MP camera takes quite good snaps for a phone. It won't replace your purpose built digicam, but if you need to take a snap and you haven't got your camera, the 6700 does a good job.
(4) Build quality feels solid and it has a nice feeling of substance being clad all in metal, but is slim enough to slip into a back pocket like the 6300. The shiny finish attracts finger-marks but they can be wiped off easily leaving it looking as good as new.
All in all, it is such a shame about the fatal 'Bluetooth' flaw, but maybe Nokia will get their act together and sort it out, as otherwise a potential shining star will an embarrassing flop.

For some time now I've been wanting to upgrade my Nokia 6300 with this latest version and was put off by a review from Stephen Sweeney titled `Essential features cut' in AMAZON. He appeared to be quite technically specific so when he referred to the phone as not having essential (and I quote) `no way for you to see whether you have missed calls or received texts. There is nothing - not even the thin strip of information that previous phones such as the N6500 Classic has. The ONLY way to find out if you have a missed call, etc. is to pick the phone back up and press the keys. I am stunned that such an essential and time saving feature has been removed! Annoyingly, it is impossible to configure how long the screen remains lit and it is also not possible to set any other features of the display. Why on Earth it is like this, I do not know". I thought I'd pay attention and steer clear of this phone.
After persevering with my old 6300 long enough, and with nothing else on the market, I decided to stick with tried and trusted Nokia and buy this phone which I did through an Amazon market place seller.
I'm guessing what Stephen means is that if the phone's display is black you don't get the flashing light feature of the Nokia 6300 to know you have text or missed phone call, but how hard is it to press a key to see if the screen shows a text or missed call? My phone is on or near me constantly and the ring tone settings allow the ring or text alert to be heard easily, and very loudly if desired. If you have to put your phone on silent or be away from it for a short time, wouldn't you check it out of habit? Yes, I miss the blue flashing on the 6300 but not so much to lose a star for the 6700.
While Stephen is correct about not being able to configure how quickly the display goes into sleep mode, you can absolutely change other feathers in the display to suit your personal needs.
Other reviews mentioned calls cutting out part way through, and not switching on at all. I've never experienced any of these issues. One reviewer here even got antsy with it not having a touch screen, but it never purported to do so?
In all, I'm really pleased with the Nokia 6700, and only sorry I waited so long to upgrade my 6300. It's feels solid to hold, though it is small and thin, the keys are very responsive, large bright screen, and good battery life. It's a stylish bit of kit with all the bells and whistles I would expect from a mobile phone in 2010.

I have had this phone on contract for about 2 months now and all I can say is how much i love it. After owning various bulky phones that did everything but wash up (most of which features I rarely used), I decided this time I just wanted something to phone and text with, which looked good and didn't leave a massive bulge in my pocket. This phone certainly is nice to look at (I have the all black version which to me looks nicer than the chrome). It is small and slim so fits easily into my pockets. It is also very well made. It has a metal/hard plastic body that feel reassurringly heavy and should resist most of the knocks life throws at these things. The screen is bright and clear and automatically adjust to the ambient light levels. I should emphasise that this isn't the phone for the techies amongst you. It does have GPS and, if you have the contract to support it, A-GPS with navigation. Without A-GPS it can take 10 minutes to find your location. There are some fairly standard music and media players apps built in but I have an IPod for that sort of thing that works better than most phones. It doesn't have wi-fi but is a 3.5G phone but since I don't have a contract which includes a data tariff, I dont use that and so can't comment on how good the browser is. There is a nice 5MP camera but I have an 8MP so won't use that a lot either.In short, a nice looking, compact phone that will suit those of use who like using phones as phones.

Not good design
Very plastic feel to the phone , very good camera but not very sturdy. Bought this for my wife, the clips on the back are very fragile, hence the battery cover keeps coming off.

It does what it says on the box!
I got a Nokia X6 as a "free" upgrade on a Vodafone contract and dropped it down the toilet "Windows phone" style. I think that it was a subconscious comment on the phone. Read more
