The bad: Inconsistent user interface; not many apps optimized for the screen resolution and touch UI.
The bottom line: Nokia's first outing with the S60 5th Edition platform and unlimited music download service proves to be very compelling. It just needs to address the inconsistencies in the user interface.

"Sweet Deal!"
Sep 26, 2009Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: -an ok 3mp camera with Carl-Zeiss lens -very customizable -touch screen -it supports FLASH. - splectum - speaker is excellent - browsing the net is a pleasure when used with Opera mini - very good speaker - awesome screen resolution - AFFORDABLE
Cons: - pointless and hard-to-take-out-stylus - not so impressive camera(good with daytime shots but terrible with night shots)- not very useful GPS
Opinion:
I've had this phone for a week now, and I'm quite happy with it except for bad nightshot photo quality. For it's vast usability, I say it's a bargain for it's price:) I especially love the fact that it supports Flash, unlike Apple iPhone/iPod Touch.
I think this is the best Nokia phone I've ever owned(I owned N70, N80, N96) if not for the camera quality..
great phone; next great thing since nokia 9300i

Pros: screen, gps, music,
Cons: camera
Opinion:
Best value for money. For the price I paid (USD 255) it's amazing what this unit is capable of. Yes, it gets hot when playing video. Yes, the camera is not that good. Yes, the OS interface has still got a few glitches. But what do people expect for THAT price? If you are on a budget or want to replace a lost phone, buy this one, you won't regret it.
