in summary this is probably the best phone in the world (not pda) apart from the average camera.
Why do I say that ?
because:
1. Its slim and small (not tiny)
2. Very light
3. Super sharp screen and reasonable size for this kind of device
4. good keyboard
5. excellent call quality
6. good looking/smart (I have silver/black)
7. fast
8. good battery life
9. "feature packed" doesn't cut it:
- wifi
- S60v3 - can install zillions of apps
- comes with loads of stuff preloaded (quickoffice view, pdf viewer, real player, flash player, radio)
10. loads of amazing free software from nokia catalogue. I installed MSN messenger, worldmate, globalcricket and global race
11. infra-red (no one uses any more, but might be useful)
12. sdhc microsd compatibility (works fine with 8gb, no reason why it won't work with 32gb when available)
13. 2.5" headphone socket (can use normal headphones with cheap adaptor)
14. usb connection
15. widest contact sync software (outlook, windows vista adress book, lotus notes, etc)
etc. etc.
-ve points
1. GPS would be nice (it does have software, so could use bluetooth modem) but a bit over the top
2. creaky battery over
3. 3mp camera would be nice
overall highly recommended.
available for £189 from play.com, £179 from carphone warehouse (unlocked PAYG), £189 from mobifun, etc.
Its a perfect partner for a UMPC (I have vye s37) as functionality in the middle is not really needed with this combination (e.g. iphone, wm6 device), etc. as its small enough to take on holiday or have in trouser pocket without noticing too much.
