N70 PDA functionality

4 replies · 2,159 views · Started 31 January 2006

I am close to picking up the N70 after a lot of thought. My second best choice is the imate jam/qtek s110. However, Windows Mobile does not hold much appeal for me. My question is, how good is the N70's PDA functionality? I am sure it can't match the Jam but then it doesn't need to as long as its respectable. Whats important to me is that the phone/PDA should be just that - as much phone as PDA. Any thoughts?

FYI

I brought my N70 a few months ago and my pda has now become redundant, only thing i use it for is the sat nav and thats because i havent got round to getting it on my phone yet.

Also you could condisor something like t-mobiles mda? My preference would be with the N70 though.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the post - it does help. Was thinking about the MDA but based on what you say and my own thoughts, the N70 would serve the purpose just fine.

The only worry I had was that barring the Communicators, Nokia phones could not even be considered passable as PDAs.

In my opinion, the N70 is much more phone that it is PDA, I could never use it as a complete PDA replacement. To be frank, the N70 can do nothing more than my non-smartphone SE K700i could do. The calendar is basic, as is the to-do list, the contact list still doesn't properly support syncing with all Outlook information and you can't syncronise email. As a PDA the N70 is somewhat lacking.

Thats a thought. Maybe its not the right forum, but hows the T-Mobile MDA Compact II / Qtek S110 / I-mate Jam II look vs. the N70? The 128mb RAM version.

I guess its a much more solid PDA vs. the N70 and serves the purpose since both phones dont offer wifi. Only thing that remains is the undisputable Nokia quality and support and whether these models are as good phones as PDAs. Not sure how good or bad the quality is on these :con?
