I always had Nokia phones, I'm a kind of a Nokia fan and this time I wanted their flagship phone. I picked up the black version, but the white one looks good also. I love the design of this phone. It looks great. At the beginning I was a bit disappointed. The apps on phone aren't that great, and the keyboard could be a lot better, the space bar is in a really weird position, that makes my typing quite slow. I have not had problems typing long texts on other qwerty devices. Slowly I got used to the keyboard, but I'm still far from typing fast on it. The screen is big, and bright. It's pretty responsive, but I found it a bit resistive and lacks the multi touch feature. It is usable though, I can navigate and scroll pretty fast without problems, so I'd say it's ok. It has 32GB memory in it and a real operating system that makes this phone a small computer. The camera and camcorder features are awesome, the speaker is excellent. Watching videos are a great experience on the big display. So the media capabilities of this phone are great in my opinion. Maybe it would be a better buy if it was a bit cheaper, but I wanted the latest and greatest Nokia phone, so I had to pay what I paid for it. Pros: size, meadia features, looks, memory, screen Cons: keyboard, especially space bar location The phone isn’t cheap, I paid almost $750 for it.

I held off buying an iPhone (any flavour) because I was loyal to Nokia. What a mistake. This phone is and absolute disgrace of an attempt by Nokia to compete with the iPhone or Palm pre. The phone is so buggy it's unbelievable and not a PEEP out of Nokia on a release date for new firmware. This phone also has without a doubt the WORST battery life I have ever come across. While I love the camera, web browser and video recording (really great job BTW Nokia) the horrible PC suite software, Ovi store, firmware and battery live have led me right into the hands of Apple. Pros: Big screen, excellent quality video and amazing quality camera. Cons: Extremely poor battery live, bad ovi store, poor software I’ve had this phone for about a month now and I ahve to say, I’m pretty dissapointed.
