Hi.I would like to ask yours opinions about these two phones n70 and n90.Has n70 same problems as n90:damaged pop port,system errors,short battery life and unreliable cover?

Ive had an N70 for about 3 weeks having upgraded from a 6230.

Battery life I would say is fine, with normal use Im sure it would last several days although I generally charge every night anyway. This is not necessarily relevent but Ive had it run Tom Tom for well over 2 hours solid with the screen on all the time (a big battery drain) and still be fine for the rest of the day with maybe 15 mins of calls and a few texts etc, after that it would probably be on 4/7 bars by the end of the evening.

Pop port seems fine and is exactly the same as virtually any other Nokia AFAIK?

The phone has ground to a halt once since I have had it but that was whilst playing around with Tom Tom and skipping between other applications that were running in the background so not really "normal" use. A quick reboot bought it all back fine though.

The camera cover is a bit of a pain as in my opinion it needs a catch or a stronger spring so it can't slide open by itself, but its not a big issue.

The big thing I like about the N70 (and any other Symbian) over my old phone is that if it doesnt do something you want it to do, iin a lot of cases you can download a bit of freeware / shareware that will do the job perfectly!
