Nokia 701 Philippines Price, Specs, Hands-On Video, In the Flesh Photos
Priced at around Php 17,000, Nokia 701 is one of the first handsets to come with Symbian Belle - the latest update to the Symbian Operating System - featuring enhancements like a drop-down status bar, more home screens, widgets in various sizes, new action bar, NFC support and an even more refined user interface.
I've played with the phone and tinkered with its Symbian Belle OS a bit and off hand, I think it's a great handset. The design is attractive (similar to fashionista phone, Nokia C7), the build is durable and the UI is easy to navigate.
I particularly love Symbian Belle's drop-down status bar where the user can easy switch Wifi, Bluetooth and Mobile Data on and off with one touch.
Nokia 701 is also a capable multimedia device. It comes with an 8 MegaPixel camera, an HD video recorder, FM radio, TV out and NFC support for wirelessly playing music using Nokia Play 360 speaker.
As for the screen, Nokia 701 flaunts a 3.5-inch Nokia Clear Black display and scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass touchscreen.
Here's my quick hands-on video of the phone:
