- Good Points
- none I really fell out with this phone in the first week shame because I always had Nokia's up to my n95
- Bad Points
- Installed a few apps/games and memory was full with no easy option to install to sd had to do full reset on phone 3 times in first week due to software crashing ie games not working and freezing I used this phone for less than a week and went back to my old 2 year old Toshiba TG01 now stuck with a 2 year contract on a phone I don't use and after waiting sometime for my free Archos 7ht tablet which is now back in its box because that was so slow and unusable.
I would have cancelled this if I had known that I could.
overall not a good experience for my first contract phone

- Good Points
- touch screen, lockable screen
- Bad Points
- no screen pen supplied, every time you make a call you have to go into the menu and come out of the log, when you send a message you can send an empty screen.

- Good Points
- Big screen - better than anything else in its price range - makes web access a treat compared with other phones. Email account readily accessible and lots of apps from Nokia.
- Bad Points
- Not Android but Nokia have learned from that error. Meantime, plenty of apps on Symbian base anyway.
Camera rather modest, but you can't have everything at this price. Touch screen really needs use of enclosed "stylus". Without it, it is sometimes slow to respond, e.g. answering calls when a finger has to be used in practice.
