"Lots of technology crammed into cheap packaging"
Pros: It does just about everything, including the cool iPhone-like screen rotation
Cons: The hardware buttons are a pain to use, and overall it just feels cheap
Summary: I wish I could say I loved this phone, but sadly I didn't. I had it for almost a month before returning it. I was extremely pleased with the camera, which was awesome, the S60 OS, which, while far from perfect, is pretty good for a smartphone-in-a-regular-phone-package layout like this, but the hardware just killed me. Come on Nokia, why do you always have to be changing things up? Those tiny buttons are an impossible pain to text with, and because the front is shiny, you can't see the letters above the keys in daylight. Now, I know many people have them memorized, but I don't, and this made it hard to text (on top of the buttons just being hard to press). On top of that, the d-pad always felt like it was going to pop off, the case was creaky, and that annoying "media button" always managed to intercept my right-softkey presses. I know I'm not alone in the quality issues I observed with this phone, and I just wish that for $500, you got a much higher quality phone. Shame on you Nokia, I'm getting the Samsung G810 when it's (finally) out.
