Nokia 6700. So unspecial its special

When something works, as you all know, it’s best not to do all that much to change it. And Nokia have made a very smart move with the Nokia 6700 by doing just that. Because as you can well see, this phone’s an evolution of the 6300, one of the most popular phones Nokia have ever released. And, in our minds, one of the best phone’s ever released. And why is that, you asking with a tut? There was nothing ground-breaking about it, it didn’t bring the mobile consumer anything new or exciting or revolutionary. Well, as regular readers of this blog will know, the so-called revolutionary is exactly what we get sick to the hind teeth of here.

So many phones claim to be bringing us something revolutionary – what was it Sony Ericsson claimed recently for the Satio, “visual communication like never before”… – whereas all they’re doing is bringing out ever-so-slightly improved specs on the last iteration, or a slight improvement on the current sector leader. The Nokia 6700 classic makes no such claims. Even though it does have some pretty impressive specs for its size: a very decent camera, super fast HSDPA speeds, one of the best web browsers out there. (Have a look at Nokia’s official page or at this Nokia 6700 review for a fuller rundown of all the necessaries. And check out these Nokia 6700 deals). No, the 6700 does being us some very respectable stats. But this phone’s main feature, the reason you won’t be hearing fanfares or screaming adverts about this thing is about just that – it’s a phone for people who like respectable. Who want a fully functioning phone that they can slip in their pocket, use as and when necessary, then forget about in the meantime. Not a battery guzzling, superwidescreen flashing monster that scares the life out of babies and old children if you use it in their vicinity. And we like that. We like that a lot. Have a look at this suitably calm video for a sense of what we mean.
