Nokia 6700 Classic Review
The Nokia 6700 that I'm reviewing here is the latest in Nokia's illustrious Classic line of mobile phones. Classic not in the sense that it's an all-singing all-dancing super-phone, but in that forms the core of Nokia's entire line-up. The Classic line has traditionally been one of Nokia's best-selling range of phones, offering decent features at a good price.
The big features from Nokia's flagship phones eventually find their way down to the Classic range a year or so later, so a Nokia 6700 review not only tells us about the phone itself, it's also a good snapshot of the state of innovation in the mobile phone industry in general.
Read on for the complete Nokia 6700 review after the jump.
