A trivial E70 Question

5 replies · 2,366 views · Started 11 October 2006

Does the E70 have a "loophole" to enable it to be worn round the neck in the manner of the "youth of today"

I tend to career around the office at breakneck speed and I always bash phones worn in a belt holster.

Cheers Gavc,

This leads me to a supplementary question. Is there a good case for the E70 which can be worn with a lanyard ?

The E70 is currently (or soon) winging its way to me. I couldn't wait for the in/out of stock N93 to be back in (anyway they would never have given me a free one on upgrade), the N73 keys are too small for a human, N80 came close but I would not have been able to get any serious text entered.

Roll on Friday.

Take a look at this thread

I went for the crystal case on ebay, although it arrived broken (replacement on the way). I chose that one as it could open and close within the case and without unzipping or unpopping any aspects of the case. The downside is it doesn't protect the keypad or the screen. However, I know it wouldn't help on the lanyard front.

Maybe some of the other suggestions in the above thread will.

gavc_uk,

Has your replacement crystal case arrived yet ?

I've ordered a replacement battery cover which I'm going to drill small lanyard hole in. It will let me get through to the small rectangular holes in the base either side of the charger socket/pop port. (a separate question - why are those rectangular holes there if there is no "fitted" holder/car kit for the E70 ?)

I think It'll work - I'll post pictures here if it does.

I see one of the sellers offering the crystal case on ebay gives away a free lanyard. I cannot see any difference in the case being offerred as to how the freebie would attach though.

Mine hasn't yet arrived but I'm assured its on the way.
