The only phone which is still small and compact but has all the functionality of an N96.
-
Not sure I like the keypad lock key.
Back cover comes off very easily if the phone is dropped, which dislodges the battery and resets the phone.

the phone pretty much does all that more expensive phones do which is good, theres a great camera 5mp the music player is excellent and with 4 gig storage you can pack it with games tunes and loads of pics, its packed with applications and games although some are on trial basis, its a nice phone to use and feels nice in your hand and is very light, overall a very good phone but then it is a nokia!! :-)

typical 60 series phone! slow and sluggish sometimes, lacks some of the little things that 40 series phones have ie no favorite or recently used when sending a text, no id when receiving text

Great looking phone with a host of up-to-date features such as wi-fi and good higher quality video recording. Looks sleek in the black mono-block design, and although it took me a while to figure out where the menu 'button' was(!) the keypad and navigation/software are all good.
-
The sound quality on playing mp3 tracks through the handset's speakers is disappointing, and I'm still not sure whether it is any better than my old 6300 for music. Similarly the fm transmitter feature is also disappointing when trying to play tracks through my car's stereo - setup is easy, just lacking in sound quality.

Very easy to use. If you are used to the nokia format this won't cause any problems. Everything that you could want on a phone.
-
The battery life it not useless but it is not as good as some of my old nokia handsets - I presume that this is down to the size of the screen and use of email/internet. However, they provide a compact charger which is easy to carry around if travelling.

BEING ON THE ORAD ALOT AND NOT HAVING A 3.5mm JACK INPUT OR BLUETOOTH, MEANS THE FM TRANSMITTER WAS A MUST. HAVING IT BUILT IN MEANS I JUST HIT THE PLAY AND FM TRANSMITTER BUTTONS AND I'M ROCKING OUT.

FOR 'EASE OF USE', THE SCREEN ROTATES DEPENDING ON HOW YOU ARE HOLDING THE PHONE. THIS IS A USELESS FEEATURE FOR ME AND THEREFORE JUST ANNOYS ME.
