"One must buy for all the hi-tech lovers there..."
Pros: Everything is the best. The touch screen is really responsive and the web browsing is something to talk about. The music quality is inarguably the best on any phone I've seen. The display is sharp and vibrant. Oh, and you can use your own headset.
Cons: Um, there aren't many in the first place. However, the present software is not final and it has many, but minor bugs. More games should have been included and the accelerometer doesn't flip the menus if we turn it right. Software updates will fix it.
Summary: It is a real high-end phone and a multimedia toy, and can be used by anyone anywhere, and for any purpose. It is great that you can use almost any normal headset. The things that are included in the box are amazing. Nokia has given away more than half the extensions and accesories available. There was a TV out connector, USB data cable, headset, music remote control, a small stand and even a sturdy cover and a small ornament to hang, and you can use it as a stylus too.
But, there are a few problems. The software isn't final and perfect. The small bugs include the accelerometer not tilting the phone sideways when flipped clockwise. Also, there are some other interface bugs, that are negligible.
The phone overall, was still very much perfect. The touch screen was very responsive and pressure is not needed. There isn't much difference from the iPhone 3G. I loved the games, and Global Racing could have been better, but do not blame Nokia for that. The device is a bit thick, lesser than the N80 or N73. It isn't too bulky or heavy and fits perfectly in the hand.
Also, Nokia should have given Quickoffice and Adobe Reader pre-installed. It is basic and wasn't included. Web browsing was superb, but I still switched to Opera Mini. Using the touch screen is convenient and easy to type.
The tiny speakers may fool you, but they are super loud. It offers superb music quality and speakerphone performance during calls, and it doesn't crackle or distort the voice. Even the N73 Music Edition did it a bit.
