It shares the “brightest mobile display” of the Nokia 701, however, and has an abundance of swappable back covers in various colors for the joy of the teen market, but does it deserve its price point, and is it distinctive enough apart from those different shell paints?...]]>ReviewsFri, 02 Dec 2011 07:18:00 -0600http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Nokia-603-Review_id2923/commentsPhone Arenahttp://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Nokia-700-Review_id2919Dubbed the company's most compact smartphone to date in terms of cubic inches overall, the Nokia 700 is indeed a neatly packed tiny handset running the new Symbian Belle. The phone has a pretty good laundry list of specs for its price point, and should appeal nicely to those who like their phones in small sizes with a variety of colors to choose from.
