Reviewer: Lily - Aruba
Date: 18th Nov 2008
This is the worst Nokia mobile phone I have ever come across. I have been using it for 6 months & it has started peeling & the buttons have been popping out. The keypad is lousy & not user friendly. The sound button has been stuck in. The mirror screen is very finger print prone & the sound buttons sometime lag. The SD card tray is so flimsy & easily breakable. This phone needs very high maintenance. You need to put on gloves to use the keypad properly? I do not advise anyone to buy this mobile phone. Unless they do not mind wasting their money?

Coming up to the end of an 18 month contract with this phone & can honestly say that I am loathe to get rid of it. Despite N-Series niggles & bits of the chrome plating have only just started to flake off but overall the phone is stylish, takes great pictures (even though only 2MP), & the music player sounds better than my iPod. Looking to change to an N95 8GB (N96 is too new) though will keep N76 as second phone.
unfortunately, I believe Nokia no longer make the N76.
Reviewer: Toni - UK
Date: 13th Oct 2008
I actually loved this phone, sadly it didn't love me too much & turned off & on in a row whenever it felt like it.
The paint peeled off!
The buttons didn't work & the battery life was short.
Must be noted thought that it lasted ages before the battery & button trouble started. Still for the price you would think it would last a bit longer.
Reviewer: Michael Phillips - Norwich, UK

Once you've sussed out how the phone works & use it to its full capabilities you will never want another phone. Absolutely Brilliant. So want to buy another one for when this one dies. Why Why Why don't Nokia still sell them?

I am having this phone since 1 year. I am using this phone only because I bought it for too much money & now when I'm trying to sell it its fetching peanuts. Battery is bad. Buttons are bad. Programs are suck. WORST EXPENSIVE MOBILE from Nokia.
Reviewer: Sachin - India
Date: 25th Jun 2008
This phone had made me crazy when it was released. But later I found it to be less interesting & had me disappointed. It is not very bad but the features & operations are satisfactory. Try, try & Try Nokia.
Reviewer: Alex - Leyland, UK
Date: 9th May 2008
I absolutely adore this phone! It can be pretty slow at times but a little patience overcomes this problem, & the other slight problem is the paint chipping away & the brittle memory card flap. I've heard people say that the screen scratches easily but I have had this phone nearly a year now & there's not a scratch on it. These slightly negative aspects are not a patch on the positive ones with a great camera, great gallery & I have found that the inbox can hold about 1700 messages which is great if youre lazy like me & never get round to deleting them. The two different screens allow you to have two wallpapers which is a nice touch too.
I would recommend this phone to anyone as it is simply amazing to use & amazing to look at, & as long as you treat it with care you won't have any problems! I will find it hard to let this phone go when the time comes to upgrade. This will be a tough phone to beat.

I bought this phone 7 days ago, already the battery is discharging. I took it in to a Nokia technician, will see what the result is going to be. I had thought it was the best phone ever until it started going weird.

This phone has a paint problem but this phone is very good & perfect against the Moto RAZR. Moto RAZR looks very down market. Nokia N76 looks very expensive & it is hot looking which is superb, when I look this mobile first time than I am crazy for N76.

Lovely phone I purchased it in Thailand user booklet in Thai having great fun finding out new things everyday without help a user friendly device can only find two faults one minor battery power needs back up now the problem which lets device down & to me a reason not to buy chrome on plastic Nokia designers IQ in single figures the auto industry have known about this problem for years Nokia please check their qualifications buy in Woolworths may be?
Reviewer: Keith - Kuching, Malaysia
Date: 10th Mar 2008
I bought this phone about a few months. The paint job is the problem. The chrome coated area is peeling off, & now my memory card slot cover breaks. The sound isn't that loud. Build quality is poor, beautiful things won't last long I guess.
Reviewer: Kesavan - Chennai, India
Date: 5th Mar 2008
Dear all, I am using this phone for the last 3 months & it's working really superb. Most of the users say that this phone freezes often. This is because of not updating the phone's Firmware. Please update your phone's Firmware to the latest version which is available from the Nokia's site.
I don't know why Nokia is shipping their phones with older version of Firmware. If anybody read these reviews from Nokia, please consider this point.

Reviewer: Criss - Romania

After I buy it the seller told me to take care of silver paint peeling. I was careful, yet after a month it looks a decade old. I am feeling betrayed. Has anybody solutions about it? We should do something.
Reviewer: M - UK
Date: 14th Feb 2008
Here is my story, battery last nothing, it scratches very easily, looked old just after 24 hr from purchase, reception poor due to software fault & some days I don't get messages for the same reason. Today for the same reason all my messages got wiped off! Went to shop & they said yeah it's that type of mobile phone, they have taken them all off the market. Meantime I lost 700 messages! DON'T BUY.
Reviewer: Ayman - Egypt
Date: 4th Feb 2008
I had a lot of Nokia phones, when I see the N76, I liked a lot its size & how it looks similar to the Motorola, it didn't take me much time to think.
I bought it then after 11 days exactly the silver paint peels off especially below the MP3 buttons & on the side & on the shaky cover of the memory card. This made the phone lose the most single thing I admired about the design.
Menus are slow, some buttons doesn't work & I have to restart it to make it work, ringtones is very weak, I barely can hear it, & I hate it when the MP3 work accidently in my pocket, battery is OK, it last for 4 days & the camera isn't bad at daylight, horrible at night.
I don't recommend it.

Reviewer: Dado - GBG, Sweden
Date: 21st Dec 2007
The Phone looks good & stylish, but here is my story. After having tons of Nokia phones, like 2110, 3110, 5110, 6110, 6120, 6200, 7110, 8100, 8860, 6230, 6230i, 6218, this one (N76) was the worst one ever build by Nokia, that I've touch with my hands.
- After having phone in my possession in 2h, I had to send it to service, the 'menu' button was broken. It took them 1, 5 months to replace the phone.
- Then the first thing to do was to update new firmware or the phone will freeze every time you look at it, & I mean 'look' not 'touch'.
- If you have headset, you can't open phone all the way.
- If you answer on headset, it takes 2-3 sec to get connection.
- Headset is all plastic, if you touch a button, it will stick, & you never know if your mute button is activated.
- When you answer none will hear you screaming. :- (
- Menu is so complicated, it is not similar to previous Nokia phones. Some things you can find in few different places, some things you can't find at all. Like find missing calls, you have to press ten buttons, then you get the log list witch will not allowed you to call from that list, then you have to press ten more buttons to call those numbers. How do those developers think?
- If you have an application or camera running in open phone mode & you close it, application will run until your battery dies. In other words in 2-3 hours.
- Same thing if you press red button during application run, it will not close the application, but it will take it off the screen, then you have to find all your running applications & close them before your battery dies & that's just the few things that will happen on daily basis.
The only good thing I can come up with for this phone is that it will support SDHC memory card (up to 8GB at the time) & it doesn't need to be Nokia original.
Reviewer: Richard - Twickenham, UK
Date: 16th Dec 2007
Nice looking phone, stylish & sleek. Made on the cheap! The paint peels after about a month to reveal PLASTIC! Now it looks rubbish.
Keyboard takes a while to get used to & the menus are difficult to find the features you need as they don't follow a logical order e.g. Call Log under Applications.
The usual Nokia things happen which we have all got used to by now.
- Phone crashes.
- Phone rings but unable to answer.
- Phone freezes during a call.
Overall I am very disappointed with the phone as I know Nokia can do better.
Nokia if you're reading this you need to stop releasing rubbish phones! This is the fourth Nokia phone I've had which has been poor quality. My next phone in Feb will be an iPhone.
Reviewer: Roxxii - Weston, UK
Date: 7th Dec 2007
This phone is pretty good for my liking it's not my favourite but I have had problems with the battery life & the paint coming off my phone looks well old & the paint is still coming off! I have had it a couple months now.
When I play music or games it makes a weird noise & freezes turns itself off & back on, really winds me up.
By the way does anybody have any problem with it not going off when they get texts because my phone doesn't go off when I get a text & I am constantly checking it grrr.
Overall good phone it's OK, music player brilliant, messages got over 2000 in my inbox thanks expandable memory!
Reviewer: Hannah - UK

To reviewer called Jack from New Zealand, if your battery keeps going make sure that if you take a picture when the phone is closed & then you open it, be sure that the camera is off when you close it again. Hope that helps!
Reviewer: Hannah - UK
Date: 5th Dec 2007
I love my phone! It looks great, works pretty fabulously & music sounds quite fantastic.
Fingerprints must only show up on the black models, I was holding one in the Nokia shop & it got all finger printy, but the red one is great, no finger prints. I just pray I don't drop it though, I don't want to damage it, even a little scratch, it is that good! BUT the PHONE IS IN RED!
Reviewer: Joy Dutta - Karimganj, India

Worst Nokia phone.
Reviewer: Alex Goncalves - South Africa
Date: 3rd Dec 2007
This phone looked to good to be true & it was:
- the keys are too small
- Paint peels off
- keeps restarting
- Microphone doesn't work
- Camera keeps freezing
- Battery life is poor.
- Gets dirty very easily
So I took it in for repairs. Most problems are resolved but I am still disappointed.
Reviewer: Michael Green - London, UK

A well designed phone. A must buy for those that love good phones. A mobile PC when your with the N76, you don't need a PC any more.
Reviewer: Jack - New Zealand
Date: 25th Nov 2007
I am not really sure if it is my problem or if it is a common problem of N76. My battery just dies so quickly. The manual I have suggests that the battery can last for 8.5 days. Somehow, my battery only last for 1.5 days. I am really confused if it is just my problem or it is a common problem for all N76 users.
I bought another spare one, BUT again, it only last for 1.5 days! What's wrong with this phone?
Reviewer: Dave - Lancaster, UK
Date: 12th Nov 2007
Hi all. Well I am absolutely gutted. This phone looks great & the camera is second to none. Great video too & no time limit on video. Lovely looks & feels great. However, yes, my silver paint came off. But I sorted that. Polished the rest of the silver off & it ended up black & white. Looked like airwolf. Cool.
Like other folk, I found it hard to open one handed. But luckily, god gave me a spare hand. One final problem, I dropped it & it got run over. It did not like that. Dead phone.
Reviewer: Anne - UK

Have had this phone for 4 months now & it is absolutely fantastic, battery life excellent, no paint has come off mine & it lives with me 24 hours a day in my hand bag, robust & very easy to use, awesome MP3 player I would recommend it to anyone, I really have not had any of the problems that have been listed above. Well done Nokia a first class phone.
Reviewer: Nicole Coppini - Malta
Date: 29th Oct 2007
I have bought this phone a couple of weeks ago & I have to say although I don't think it's as bad as other reviewers have said it is, there are a few let downs I have to point out:
- It is extremely hard to open with one hand.
- It switched off abruptly one day out of the blue (the battery was full when I switched it back on).
- Its flat keypad takes some time to get used to.
Other than those I like this phone a lot & I have got used to its flaws & learnt a lot.
Reviewer: Husna - Malaysia
Date: 29th Oct 2007
N76 is kind of slim compared to other Nokia phones especially the slide & the flip ones. After reading all the reviews & problem faced by this, I've decided to use the plastic covers so as to protect the phone as well as the screen protector.
I like the design (actually I like flip & slide phones). The features are okay since I am just into 3G. Sharp camera picture is not that important to me. So it's just a bonus to have the built-in camera & the good sound (plus the radio).
All in all, I am well satisfied with this phone. Looks trendy but definitely doesn't suit anyone who is aggressive.
Reviewer: Hossein - Dezful, Iran
Date: 22nd Oct 2007
I want to buy this phone but priced 480$ in Iran. 2 mega pixel camera for this phone is very low. If camera had 3 or 4 mega pixel it would be very good.
Reviewer: Tom - Bristol, UK
Date: 18th Oct 2007
Looks OK a bit plastic though, battery life acceptable but could be far better, camera not as good as I thought it would be & the handset when closed is a good size but when opened I feel like Dom Jolly. The glass screen on the front is very fragile & I have two cracks in mine already.
Being able to read messages without opening the phone is good. Lots of extras that I don't use & probably never will e.g. GPS I have sat nav, MP3 player I have an iPod, etc.
Not as loud as I wanted & when the phone is shut & in my pocket the music on the phone will start playing. I wouldn't recommend I am getting a 6500classic instead.

The worst & most difficult phone to handle. It is a complete waste of money.
Reviewer: Abi - Somerset, UK
Date: 16th Oct 2007
OK I just want to say that I have rated the design of this phone as 100% only because I love flip phones! This phone is a stunner to look at.
However, after only 3 days of having it I took it back. Reason being, if you have nails you cannot use the keypad on this phone! I am an absolute textaholic but it really is impossible on this phone, the buttons are sunken in so you hit every other button apart from the one you want! Really annoying! Features & usability are like all other Nokias so satisfied with that. Music was really good, loud & basey! If I could have text using the thing I would have kept it but have now swapped it for the Sony Ericsson k850i as there is literally no decent flip phones out at the moment!
Bring back the flip phones!

N76. What can I say about it? First time I saw it on advertisements it looked like such a FLAWLESS phone; its beautiful sleek & slim design & its features. Just like what Nokia call it, COMPUTER BEAUTIFULLY MADE. But after all this time I've been using this type of mobile phone, this N76 is just getting more & more & more PATHETIC. Not that it's been broken down by frequently usage, but that N76 ITSELF is a BIG TERRIBLE MISTAKE from Nokia! I don't understand why such big mobile phone manufacturers like Nokia DOESN'T HAVE A HIGH QUALITY STANDARD for its mobile phones?
Here are some of my N76's problems:
- My N76 often got switched off by itself (means that NOBODY push the Power Button) even when I am not using it.
- the cover (which I thought was beautiful SLEEK & slim) is made from PLASTIC! Which is NOT SUITABLE for a mobile phone which has price 4.000.000 rupiahs (about US$400). It should only have price 2.000.000 rupiahs (about US$200)!
- the feature is just so Symbian OS version 9. NOT MUCH improved.
- the keypad is just too DISAPPOINTING.
- the speaker is also not too clear.
& many other that I even forget because the flaw of N76 is just too much for me! I mean, come on. Nokia can set price US$400 for that kind of FAILURE PRODUCT? IT'S JUST WAY TOO DISAPPOINTING! If it's not just for its slim & flip design, I would have 100% regretted trusting Nokia.

This mobile phone makes me crazy its battery became empty after talking time 30 min. Only per day very poor life battery, also its design is not suitable for hand & got dirty fast. A phone with no place for its headset how can I open this mobile phone & put the headset while driving. Thanks to the Nokia Corporation, very bad mobile phone I advise no one to get it. I got rid of it after 2 weeks. Bye.

Nice looks & works fine as a phone. The chrome came off & it revealed PLASTIC underneath it.
This is not what Nokia has tried to tell people. They say it is made from steel but they do not say that the front cover is only plastic with chrome on it. If it is revealed, 50% purchaser will choose something else.
Reviewer: William Woods - Epsom, UK

Smart looking phone but touch it & it is a fingerprint magnet! Difficult to open flap when call comes in & I have nearly dropped it doing so many times. Beware chrome plating & paint wears quickly even when looked after every day like I did.
I eventually got fed up with it & sold it on as it kept freezing & restarting even after updating the firmware to the latest revision. Vodafone changed it whilst under 2 weeks old & then refused any more assist after the 6 week period had expired. Nice looking phone but not very friendly for everyday use.
Reviewer: Iant - UK

On my 3rd N76 since June, the paint & chrome effect just peels away after a few weeks & is a known worldwide issue. Nokia's cure for this is for you to return to service for repair. Type N76 complaints or N76 chrome peeling into Google & see the results!
Phone looks good & I like the big screen & buttons, downside not so easy open & some software issues, freezing, etc & the bad quality of paint & chrome.

Hi all yourmobilephonereviews readers I think Nokia after establishing such a good name within the customer; making such copy cat cell, which is I feel not good.
My Opinion on N76:
Design: All the copy of Motorola RAZR series only. (100%: due to RAZR copy)
Features: Don't think; not more innovation than Motorola RAZR (50%: due to old RAZR series is not that feature buddy)
Usability: Can't say anything; as it is Nokia product I think it will be user friendly as always! (5%: AS I HAVE TO ENTER SOME VALU IN THIS FIELD FOR VALIDATION PURPOSE ONLY)
So if you are Nokia TYPE then go for it; Otherwise Go for Motorola RAZR2 V8 (coming soon) which I think great package.
Most exiting thing is TALK TIME the MOTO RAZR2 V8 provides with such a huge features which is 8.3 hours than Nokia N76's which is only 2.3 hours.
So consider Motorola RAZR2 V8 while you look to buy Nokia N76.

Hey everybody N76 is very nice looking & fun to use. It has many features. I bought it two weeks ago. But only one drawback is it has a paint problem so I sent the handset to the company to replace the component but the company doesn't responding. I think the people who have the N76 are the greatest people ever in the world.

Good phone, bought mine about 2 months back, had a few teething problems, however works like a dream. The build quality is terrible in the space of 2 months a lot of the silver has rubbed off the phone, just from simply taking it in & out of my pocket. So if you are considering buying an N76 be warned it will look old quickly.

Cool phone with very nice design. I have not found anything bad with the phone. I am using it for last 2 weeks. One thing as it is expensive. But worthy to spend on it!
Reviewer: Jason - London, UK
Date: 30th Jun 2007
Its not great. It looks good but that's the only positive I can give. Every time I miss a call it turns itself off & to turn it back on I have to take out the battery & put it back in. Also, difficult when texting as the keypad isn't great. Pain opening it &, correct me if I am wrong, you can't delete all your messages in one go! What's all that about. Oh & it smears all the time! You have been warned.

Phone looks great & is easy to use. Camera is adequate. Music player is very good, easy to get tracks onto the phone & very useful to play tracks without having to open the phone. Everyone I have shown it to has been very impressed. Only minus point for me is that it is awkward to open, you need to use both hands to open it.
Reviewer: Greig Stewart - Epsom, UK

Phone is great to look & a breeze to use, but I have only had the phone a week & it seems to turns it's self off when you put in your pocket. I am sure this is a design fault with the way the battery connects to the phone.
Reviewer: Jas - UK

I got this from Vodafone, 2 weeks after trying various phones this was very simple & easy to use. I have found the fold opening a bit slippery & have dropped the phone a few times but it survived OK, no problem. The caller function is great, the text to speech states the name of the caller which is handy & screen numbers are clear, overall its a good phone & I would recommend it.
Reviewer: Lucy - Bristol, UK

Not exactly a review but after some advice. I need a new phone & I want email, Internet etc for business use but not so bothered about music player. Do I go for the N76 or the N95? I definitely like the design of this better but are the features better on the N95?

Reviewer: Damien Holmes - Haverfordwest, UK
Date: 11th Jun 2007
This phone is rubbish. When it came I thought wow, look at this it looks fantastic but as I started to piece the free memory card, sim & battery together I quickly became less convinced. The phone is like a brick it's big, & hard to get your hands around. Then I went to turn it on, OK it's got a nice quality speaker & screen but it doesn't make the Nokia menu any better. The buttons are hard to use & you'll constantly find yourself wiping it on your shirt or trousers to loose the finger prints. A bad phone, don't get it unless you just want to leave it on your desk & pose. Samsung U700 here I come.
Reviewer: Phil - Redditch, UK

Had my phone a week now & must say it is a cool phone, however it froze a couple of times when being used which meant I had to turn it off & back on again & the battery only last just over a day. Considering a Samsung U700!

I bought this phone on 12 months contract for £35 per month (500 min & 200 text). Am I happy with that? Well, it's about a week ago I got it & it's not as perfect as I was expecting. The down side of it is its keypad. Its flat & very sensitive, you got to be very careful otherwise you either push a key twice or you push the wrong key. Also its flap hasn't got a nice & easy grip to open, difficult to open with one hand, you got to use your both hands. Short-cut keys aren't as nice & easy access as previous models. The size wise, to be honest I got a bit disappointed when I hold it in my hand for the first time, although its a slick & thin handset, but its a bit big in terms of width & length, I found it taller than a usual phone. The worst thing about it is the cover & the mirror thing on the cover. It gets very dirty in no time. It shows off your finger prints, stains & dirt from miles away. I had to rub it on my jeans ten million times a day (I think it'd shrink & gets thinner in a month! )! It has a lot of features you'll never use or if you do it cost you an arm & a leg! Its music player is good, even better is that you can get a 2GB MiniSD Memory for £15 (from Amazon) & enjoy a big archive of your music tracks. Camera? It's good, you get a Flash which is handy for night photography & the quality is not bad! What else, Snake, It has a terrific design & graphic in this version. All in all, I give 7 out of 10 & the punch line is it wasn't what I was expecting & waiting for ages. Hope you liked my review.

Nokia have done it again, an awesome phone! It's got the typical and series features that you'd expect, & they've up-graded a few of the menus making them easier to use. It's got the sameish size screen as the N95 & it's half the thickness! Got it free on Vodafone for £25 per month on a 12 month contract.
Reviewer: Nikkii - Andover, UK

I love the look of this phone! Currently got the Nokia 6280 & I think that's cool but looking for an upgrade. Is this worth it?
Erm, one thing I would like to know, well two actually, firstly, in this description, it says it has a second camera, is that just for video calling or can it be used as a self portrait kind of thing? & secondly, my current Nokia lets you have a note on the standby screen, just wondered if this does.
Think this phone is brill but Vodafone online don't have it in the red/pink version, anyone Know if the stores do? If anyone has any idea at all then that'd be great! Thanks.

Got this phone on an exchange with a Samsung U600 & so glad I did. It's slim, feature packed & feels quality when using it. I would definitely recommend this mobile to people who (like me) like flip phones. I had the razor V3I before this & the Nokia dumps all over it. Awesome!

Got the phone today & I am really happy with it. Only 1 complaint & that is the memory card casing, the flap on the side does not look very secure & I have got a bad feeling in the near future it will come loose. If anyone else thinks the same let me know on here, is this just my phone?
Reviewer: Rachele - Surrey, UK

Got my N76 today, really pleased with it, I think although it took me a while to figure out how to switch it on, could be yet another blonde moment though! Features seem good & I like the fact you can synchronise with Outlook, well handy! Haven't had a Nokia for years & was desperate for them to bring out a nice looking flip phone, so thrilled that they finally have.

I got mine today on Vodafone, but be warned. The store only had two & I nabbed the last one at about 10am so it's going to be a while to get one unless you get lucky.
So far I am impressed, although I wish they'd release cases as soon as they release phones though as mine is covered in fingerprints already. It's very similar to my boyfriend's N95 which I love & comes in the cutest package.
I'll have to write a proper review once I've used it for a bit & the excitement has worn off!

I think we've all decided we want this phone the next question is 'red or black people'?
BUT hold on a minute, like the ipod which I went & bought straight away, after a month it had a million scratches on it. Then they went & released the metal scratch proof ones which were better designs & in more colours.
Which brings me to my next question? Will these guys change their minds & bring out more colours?
They've got the metal part covered which is good. Talk to me peeps.

People, people be patient. This phone will come to those who wait. The phone will be released at different times for different countries & it's on its way, but nobody can confirm an official release date.
I must say the N76 is the best looking Nokia phone in a long time, it actually looks like a Motorola mobile phone. I am waiting for this phone even if it's not release for 2 more months, I think it's a beauty.
