This is Nokia’s second touch-screen phone to hit the Indian market after the 7710. Touted as a business phone for individuals on the go, it runs on the Symbian7 OS with the UIQ 2.1 interface—quite dated if you’re looking for good features. No grouse as far as looks are concerned; the silver-grey colour combination gives the phone an executive look. The large 65K colour screen works in the favour of the phone—especially when you’re using it as writing pad—and dominates the front facia. The keypad, however, is quite cramped. Handwriting recognition is accurate, but needs time to get used to. Devoid of any other option of inputting data, the 6708 doesn’t really qualify as a good business phone—one-handed operation is a must, and the Nokia 6708 is uninspiring on that front. Connectivity options include IR, Bluetooth, a mini USB jack and GPRS for connecting to the Internet. The phone also includes a universal remote for your TV, DVD player, air conditioner, and so on. The phone has 18 MB of memory dynamically shared between applications, and a hot-swappable miniSD slot for memory expansion. The integrated 1.3-megapixel camera delivers mediocre performance. For documents, the 6708 comes equipped with the Quickoffice software bundle. It also supports all major e-mail protocols. This Nokia is a decent product by itself, but falls short of being a good “business” phone. At Rs 21,500, we’d recommend you wait for the upcoming E series of business phones from Nokia...
