This is a good phone with a very good feature set. It is easy enough to use once you get used to it, however the use of the navi key is somewhat inconsistent and all settings are not logically grouped together. I think Sony Ericsson phones are overtaking Nokia in easy of use. Sending text messages is a little painful switching between upper and lower case: you have to press the hash key to get upper case, but then have to press it again to make the second letter lower case. In other screens such as the contacts, the second letter is automatically made lower case. Text messages should be like this as well. The camera is acceptable. The picture resolution of 1600x1200 is good, but the pictures come out quite grainy. It's still no replacement for a good digital camera. The calendar is really handy when you turn on the active standby screen to show today's appointments, but it has some bugs when using 12 hour time format. The clock on the standby screen is also quite ugly. Why Nokia didn't just use the normal easy to read digital clock I don't know. The phone occasionally resets itself even when the battery is well charged. This is made a little annoying by how long the phone takes to start up. It also starts up with a loud animation that can't be disabled as far as I can tell. This will present a problem in meetings or cinemas when you turn it back on. Contacts and appointments can be synchronized with Outlook using Bluetooth networking. This works OK, but the Nokia PC Suite adds two spaces between the first name and last name for some reason. Voice activated dialing is bad. Rather than recording your own tag, it uses speech recognition which requires you say the person's full name and often fails to recognize the name. It also associates with a contact rather than the contact's primary number, making it impractical for use with a headset (you still need to select the name using the phone's keypad). The phone came with no pre-loaded applications and only a handful of poor ringtones when I bought the handset from 3, which was quite disappointing. It's great that the phone accepts Mini SD cards, providing up to 2 gigabytes of storage. This makes the phone viable as an MP3 player. Transferring songs using PC suite isn't anywhere near as good as transferring to an iPod using iTunes, but it gets the job done for occasional use. The basics are all there, so it's still a good phone, but the polish on this phone is below average. Hopefully there will be an updated version that addresses these problems.

This phone lacks one thing pretty important, that is the memory built in! Why Nokia always lacks this 1 important feature? With only 3.3MB, what can you expect for a camera and video capable phone. Also, the screen is actually a CSTN and a not a TFT screen. I like Nokia original features very much and it's design especially this 6070 type of candy bar but with such limited functions, what can I said. Also no bluetooth conectivity over here, again!
