Not worth the price

Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: Sleek looking and solid feel
Cons: Poor camera and poor music player
Opinion:
Ok, I bought this phone because I need better connection and faster speed for surfing internet. I am very satisfied with the fast loading of internet pages and ease of scrolling.

Smsing needs some getting use to as the phone has a qwerty keypad. Not a problem after a week of usage, but still could not sms without having to look at the keypad.

Camera is really bad at 3.2megapixel only. Very disappointing on this not so low end phone.

Music player on the loudspeaker is quite good. Rather rich sounds with strong base. Better than my previous Sony Ericsson walkman phone. However, plug in the standard earpiece, you get a disappointing flat, bassless music. I then bought an adapter, so that i can use my Senheiser earpiece on it. The result was even more disappointing. As the Senheiser earpiece was so clear and precise, it captured all the noise that came out of the music player. There were loud background noise. I thought maybe it was my earpiece problem. Hence I transferred the songs from the phone to my iPOD and my Sony Ericsson phone. Again, using my Senheiser earpiece, the sound was clear, with strong base, and no background noice. I can only conclude that the music player on Nokia was sub standard. Very disappointed.

User interface - it takes more steps to do a particular function such as sending sms as compared with a Sony Ericsson phone. In fact, it takes more steps to do everything. But still better than a Samsung that takes 101 steps to send out one sms.
