Today we will talk about the Nokia 6700 Classic Gold Edition. This is a variation of the 6700, painted in golden color. It would be interesting to take a look at the phone's design, as this color version looks quite attractive. However, first, let's go through the main indicators of the device in order to understand what it can offer a potential buyer.
Specifications. Communications
The Nokia 6700 Gold phones are equipped with three protocols for sending and receiving emails. More specifically, these are IMAP4, POP3 and SMTP. There are not many opportunities for communication here. To transfer files wirelessly (after pairing with the appropriate device), the Bluetooth module version 2.1 is provided. Yes, the transfer rate will not be so high that you can brag about something, and you won’t be able to connect a wireless headset due to the lack of an A2D2 profile. But in general, the module copes with the main tasks set before it.tasks.
You can connect to a computer or personal laptop using the MicroUSB port. After the drivers are automatically installed on your computer, you will be able to work with the internal file storage or an integrated external microSD drive. The phone supports sending not only text messages, but also MMS messages. To access the Internet, you can use the protocols of cellular networks of the second generation (GPRS and EDGE), as well as the protocol of the third generation (HSDPA). There is no improved version (HSDPA+), but it is not needed here, in principle.
Display
The Nokia 6700 Gold, the original of which was quite difficult to find at one time, has a standard screen for its class. Its matrix is made using TFT TN technology. The resolution of the display is only 320 by 240 pixels, and the diagonal is 2.2 inches. Color reproduction is good, at the level of 16 million shades. Not the best option, but again, it corresponds to the price class or, as we used to call it, the segment.
Photographic opportunities
The Nokia 6700 Gold Edition has only one camera. But its module is designed for 5 megapixels. For an ordinary phone, which the model is, this is a good indicator worthy of respect. Especially if we take into account the fact that the user can use digital 4x zoom. Also, the camera supports the function of auto focus on the subject.shooting. An LED flash is provided for capturing pictures in low light (or no light) conditions.
Multimedia
The 6700 Nokia Gold supports a sufficient number of music formats. These included such as MIDI, MP3, AAC, MP4 and even WMA. Speaking of video formats, the 6700 Nokia Gold “reads” 3GP and MP4. The phone has a built-in voice recorder. You can set 64-voice polyphonic files as a ringtone.
Work offline
The 6700 Nokia Gold has a lithium-ion battery as a source of battery life. Its capacity reaches 960 milliamp-hours. Such indicators are enough for the device to live in standby mode up to 300 hours. If we talk about the time of a continuous conversation, then the indicator is several times less, which, in principle, is expected. However, it is five hours.
Additional equipment
The 6700 Nokia Gold has a built-in antenna. There is a speakerphone function. The organizer includes about five additional functions. These included applications such as a calendar, an event and task scheduler, a calculator, a stopwatch and, of course, a timer. By the way, the model has a built-in ambient light sensor.
Device package
The delivery set of the phone provides, in addition to itsavailability, discs with MSN software. There you can find a music file manager, as well as a text messaging program. Also, the package already includes a wire for synchronization with the USB 2.0 port of a computer or laptop. There is also a case with a wired headset. The package ends with a MicroSD memory card, which is designed for 8 gigabytes.
History of the creation of the phone
What can you say about how the 6700 was created in general? We now see the Finnish manufacturer from the other side. After Microsoft bought them out, Nokia devices gradually underwent changes in their names. However, this does not change the essence of the matter: sometimes the internal competition of the manufacturer is sharper than the external one. The fact that two devices for the same price have different specifications and compete with each other looks extremely suspicious.
This unfortunate trend has roots in the distant past of the company. The Nokia 6700 model is also associated with it. Its creation is connected with the fact that it was necessary to interrupt the success of the sale of the Nokia 6300, which once became a bestseller. In parallel, a device with the code 6303 is being created. And now these three models begin to compete with each other, forming a bizarre triangle. This is probably a 2 vs 1 game, but the fact remains the same.
Weight and dimensions
Gold model was created as a new color scheme, but compared to other versions, its performance has not changed. Before us is the same Nokia 6700. The dimensions of the device are as follows. In height, it reaches 109.8 millimeters. In this case, the width and thickness of the apparatus are respectively equal to 45 and 11.2 millimeters. With such indicators, the mass of the device does not exceed 116.5 grams.
Features of use
The size of the model can truly be called comfortable. Surprisingly low weight appealed to many people who opted for a golden model or other color scheme. By the way, the back of the phone is made of what we call stainless steel. It pleasantly cools the hand, the phone does not tend to overheat during use or due to weather conditions. Although the golden color is not the most practical, because if handled carelessly, scratches will appear on it that will be visible to the naked eye. The black color scheme for the phone turned out to be much more successful in this regard.
Location of elements
On the back surface, made, as mentioned earlier, of stainless steel, we can find the camera. Its resolution is five million pixels. There is also an LED flash. There is an audio speaker on the other side of the camera module. On the right side, you can find a paired key that allows you to adjust the sound volume or change the sound mode. It is interesting that even the camera button is implemented in the solution of the Finnish company. At the bottom there is a port that is provided for synchronization with a personal computer or laptop. Next to it is a socket for connecting a charger.standard 2 mm.
Quality materials and workmanship
There are no special comments on this parameter for the phone. Both of them correspond to the best examples. Especially the golden model, which we are talking about today. Yes, maybe its practicality makes you doubt it, but in fact the phone is assembled soundly. There are no backlashes of buttons or other elements. The device does not creak. By the way, not only the back cover is made of metal, but also the front panel.
Analogues
It would be very boring to talk about external competitors of the model, since there are many of them. But internal analogues - the topic is quite interesting. Especially considering the fact that the Finnish manufacturer set himself up in this matter, pursuing an incomprehensible pricing policy. The closest competitor, as it was said, is Nokia 6303, created according to the same idea and with the same goals. Let's leave her alone. But the variant with Nokia 8800 Arte looks more interesting. This phone has similar materials, is perceived in exactly the same way, and in general is inferior to the subject of our today's review by no means in everything.
Conclusion and reviews
Buying a model, few people were dissatisfied. Many owners of this phone note that it serves faithfully for a long time. What did they like so much? First, the build quality. Secondly, good photographic opportunities. Thirdly, fundamental changes in the operation of the phone. Now the model makes it possible to work with applications in the background. Yes, there is no window, but they can be called from the menu. In general, we can’t say anything bad about this model. And thisnice.
