Nokia 6700 - worth getting?

Dont want a smart phone nor a touch screen/slider so my options are pretty limited really!

I am looking at the 6700. Do a little bit of internet browsing (15 mins max a day), texing and calling really and thats about it. Like to take the odd picture and use it on the phone but am assuming most phones can do this!

Any major no's? Never had a nokia before...

    Its got 3g, high speed internet.
    If you are not bothered about speed (i.e. not using anything like heavy on data), then look at the cheaper 6303.
    At least on pay and go its cheaper at about £65 compared to £140+ for the 6700.

    Mind you if you intend to get a phone for 3 network, you will need 3g.

    dont know how imp is camera for you.
    my wife has this mobile and pics are impeccable. On most occassions when you try to take that odd pic off your mobile your hand shakes and the pic would be blurred and with this mobile i have noticed that you always end u taking perfect snaps. id ont know what to call it technically.

    It is a very nice phone looked at it today.
    It will do everything you want and more plus its a Nokia easy to use and understand..
    and 5 MP camera with a led flash and auto focus
    I would get this phone but i want the X6
    Spending my time reading how to fix PC's,instead of looking at Facebook.

    Have a look at the W995, great phone, fantastic camera. Great battery life. Only thing I don't rate about Nokia's is the battery life. My mum has a cheapo nokia flip, doesn't use the camera or txt, internet etc. Just a few mins calls a day and she still has to charge it every other day. I had the W995 charge once every 4 days or so and I'm a heavy user.

    Sorry should have said this is on contract and this one is free (as well as the 6303) so no payout.

    Will have a look at the W995 too

    Thanks

    The phone is okay. The pro is the camera but the thing is its not a msartphone.. so it's kind of already otu of date as far as the user interface goes. Looks good and feels nice though, has a steel body and feels quality.
