I agree with most of what has been written about this latest offering from Nokia.I have been a nokia user all along , and this phone carries with it the traditional Nokia strengths and weaknesses. Which is a little disappointing since I have been waiting for Nokia to get over some of their drawbacks.Nokia has lagged behind the likes of sony and samsung when it comes to display and sound basically multimedia.This phone does close the gap but it has a long way to go.Then there is the usual poor fit.Within a few days the camera cover became loose.this is really disappointing.Another thing is the on board memory,just 10MB.Compare this to the 64 MB avaliable on the XDA mini2.This makes a difference if you are going to browse the net using your phone since the cache memory is not enough.The phone comes with an older version of opera,but you can download the latest version from opera.com for free.I was using a Nokia 7610 before this and surprise surprise...the MMC card of the N7610 is not compatible with this phone.It has a flash but I found that pics taken wit the flash have a decidedly yellow hue
So what does this phone have going for it.A LOT MAAN!!!!!!
It is very user friendly and Nokia's symbian OS is clearly streets ahead.This alone makes this phone an excellent buy.A large display,great sound(stereo),hot swappable memory card,very good imaging functions and the large amount of software fREELY avaliable are great plusses.I have loaded FE explorer which can be downloaded for free from gosymbian.com.There is a lot of application software avaliable depending on your needs.This phone is a lot faster than N7610.
So what do I think.....
DONT WAIT A SECOND...JUST GO OUT AND BUY THIS PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
