My new Nokia N70 ME

Finally I made a move to a new Nokia N70 Music Edition after using the Nokia 6230i for almost 2 years. You will get a better idea if you read the blog post I wrote when I bought the Nokia 6230i. My plan was to go for an iPhone but due to a tight budget I settled down with a Nokia N70 ME. I'm not that much of a music listener but I went for the Music Edition coz of the color. I love gadgets when they are black. Looks really sexy ![:D[BigGrin]](http://www.nazly.net//smiles/icon_biggrin.gif){kind=icon}
I didn't have 3G enabled on my connection so I got it enabled from Dialog. When I initially added the settings for GPRS, WAP and MMS there were few issues so I had a chat online with the Dialog customer service and they sent the configuration settings via SMS. After setting them up everything worked smoothly. At home and at office I'm within the 3G network. So relatively have a good connection speed. I setup Dialog TV as well which again I got the settings from Dialog via SMS. It streams very well without breaking up.
I'm really impressed with this new phone coz it has some nice little features that I have been missing all this while. So don't forget to make a video call when you call me next time ![[Wink]](http://www.nazly.net//smiles/icon_wink.gif){kind=icon}

I just moved to Mobitel 3G since they have better coverage outside of Colombo than Dialog.
Put up your settings for the N70 someone else could skip the customer care call.

I'm in Colombo most of the time, I mean all the time so I don't mind sticking with Dialog as I'm very satisfied considering all aspects.
I will post the settings for N70 soon. I hope there is a way to request the settings through SMS than calling the customer service. Also one thing to note is that Dialog automatically sends configuration settings via SMS without a request when the handset is changed if I'm not mistaken. Coz this happen to my brother and myself when we moved to new phones this week. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I just installed 'Quickoffice document viewers' and 'Adobe PDF Reader' from Nokia's Application Download section. You can goto http://ap.mobile.nokia.com from your mobile browser and browse through to the applications download section or hit http://ea.mobile.nokia.com/content/spin/ap/N70/en/app/index.xhtml directly if you have an Nokia N70 model.
The applications are must have coz it allows you to view PDFs, Word Docs, Excel Spreadsheets and Powerpoint Presentations. Very handy.
