This is absolutely amazing phone for the money. It has all the features one can possibly want in a phone. Here are some Pros and Cons. The only reason it did not receive a 5 star review is the lack of commitment from Nokia for the US release of this phone, in terms of firmware updates which are long overdue.
Pros:
-Amazing interface and ease of navigation
-Has great GPS Function. Nokia maps is awesome and for good measure you can get Google maps to work even better with this device.
-Sound is spectacular on the headphones and not too shabby coming from two built in speakers.
-Great array of apps online for use as a work phone or a entertainment phone.
-Great colors and touch screen response.
-Most importantly great sound and connectivity during calls.
-Decent camera not great in the dark.
Cons:
-Nokia doesn’t really care too much about the US market when it comes to this phone. No 3G on T-Mobile and No firmware updates that have been out in other countries for some time now.
-Little buggy and sometimes can freeze and needs a restart. This is why they need to release a US firmware update really badly.
-The dial pad lacks letters that correspond, so if you are calling tech support that has e.g 1-800-WHAT good luck figuring out what WHAT is numerically.
-Battery is kind of lacking but what touch screen isn’t.
-A little thick but not too bad. Other dimensions are perfect in terms of hand grasp for texting and emailing.
-Definitely not a camera phone despite its great Carl Zeiss lens.
Overall:
If you want to put away your ipod and still be able to listen to music, have a good navigation system, be able to SMS/EMail quickly, read Office documents WORD, EXCEL, PPT, PDF on the run, maybe squeeze in a few games, and have a stable OS interface (for most part) this is really a great phone. I forgot to mention it actually is a great cell phone in terms of call quality. I did not want to get the G3 from T-Mobile because I am tired of the commitments and have Google force everything down my throat kind of like Apple has been doing to their customers. This phone has gazillion free apps that are actually useful. You will be able to squeeze a lot of use out of this phone on the cheap and enjoy doing it.
