Is it really that shiny?

Hi have been trying to decide whether to get this or the N95 8GB.

Think i am finally gonna go for this but can anyone tell me if it looks as shiny in real life as it does in the photos lol.

And how is the keypad for texting?

yes, but in a good way...and the keys are ok but depends on what you are used to and could live with...no probs for me and my fingers are medium/big.

update...I was trying to use it today when my fingers were cold and found it to be quite hard to get the right key when texting...also, not as easy to use keys while phone is in one hand as compared to say my old N93...
Obviously sitting arong at home during holidays and playing about with the phone is not the same as actually getting out and about and really using it eh?
Hope that helps?
