Pros: dedicated mail/calendar keys etc
easy navigation to commonly used apps
slim, lightweight, felt sturdy
Cons: everything is customizable, but there aren't previews to define what your customization will be.
smart phone with no threaded texting?
difficult to dial numbers
buttons are too close together
Summary: I used this phone heavily for 4 hours, customizing, texting, calling etc.... I took it back. The phone feels sturdy and well built. The OS is fully customizable, which I liked. I disliked the lack of preview for theme changing. didn't immediately connect to wifi, disconnected if you weren't actively using the browser! Had to rescan to reconnect. There is no threaded texting, could not set up my .mac email. I could do that on my old verizon razor! browser with awful, loaded slowly even on wifi. The OS is intuitive, but not as intuitive as it could be. I attempted to download apps from Nokia's site, everything I tried to download told me that it was no longer available???
The keys are too close together and for crying out loud... it's a phone, why do I have to hit two keys for every one number that I want to dial? atleast offer a number lock option! Very frustrating!
It did sync immediately with my macbook over bluetooth, quite seamlessly! Even my iPhone didn't do that! I was quite impressed!
Overall, great idea... needs some tweaks to be a useful phone.... Hopefully Nokia will take care of that soon!
Pros: None that I could find. My V3xx Razr was better than this phone.
Cons: Too many to list here, read summary.
Summary: Please do not disregard this review. This is my sincere unbiased opinion and I had very high hopes for this phone. I bought it and used it for two weeks. For starters the apps you download from Nokia won't work. You can't play real player files that are larger than 3mb without first running them through Nokia's conversion software even though the phone has real player installed. Phone doesn't charge over USB connection. Headphone plug is 2.5mm instead of the standard 3.5mm which requires a clunky adapter. After purchasing said adapter for $15 audio would cut in and out, not to mention the headphone jack is on the side instead of the top. Menus are extremely confusing, this may be at&t's fault due to their proprietary crapware they installed. Wireless 802.11g doesn't automatically connect, you must manually connect to networks. Internet browser is very slow, with 3G and wireless. Keyboard is way to cramped for adult fingers, you spend more time correcting mistakes than anything. Battery life is poor at best, you must charge every day. Also in the two weeks I had this phone I had to reset it over two dozen times. Display is also very hard to read in sunlight. Display scratched very easily, i kept it in my pocket with no change or keys or anything. Due to the fact I had ordered a case online because at&t had no specific case for the phone only generic cases. I was extremely careful trying not to scratch it. I wouldn't suggest this phone to anyone unless you have someone you despise, if so, get it for them.
