Opinion:
Don't believe everything you read. This phone is plagued with flaws, the wobbly slider issue is serious, just had this a few days and seems it won't last long. The dpad easily comes apart and unglues. FM transmiter is useless, so poor and weak signal it won't work unless you put the phone 1 cm. away from the car radio. Sometimes it does not charge from the wall charger or from the PC usb cable. The music quality sucks big time, about 10 times less volume than the N81 and huge level of distortion. The camera takes ages to focus. Music player randomly freezes. Worst of all, the stupid slider scratched the backplate on the upperside (the one that covers the media keys). I've had 3250, 6600, 3750, N81 and E65. They have all been excellent phones. This one is just a piece of cheap chinese plastic. Even after upgrading the firmware and formating the phone it keeps failing.
