Jolly Roger :
I just picked up two of these L1. I notice that when I close the flip when I am in the camera mode or in the inbox message, this phone will not go back to the standby mode automatically. Why is this?
I live in Hong Kong & we are the first to get this phone model. I tried the phone a few weeks ago (already available for sale even before the official launch) but wasn't too impressed because the buttons weren't so nice to press (the feel of the feedback)!
The reasons behind my decision to buy two :-(one for my dad) is because of your opinon/comment towards this L1.
The other reason is that I am fed-up with Nokia 8800........I brought a total of five (5) of them in the past months, one after another, but I encountered different problems with every single one of them (namely software & quality contral problem)!
I brought my 6th 8800........but this time is for my mom & not myself. She loved it because of the look & the clear sound of the loud speaker. She only use the phone for incoming & outgoing calls ONLY & nothing else.
Anyway, the L1 seems like a solid & well built phone.
By the way, my first Nec MP dated back to 18-20 years ago. The second one about 2-3 years ago when it first came on the market (the NEC N8) which was terrible because it was big for a modern phone at the time but the battery life was very poor.......you can barely make 2-3 calls & the battery will need a recharge!
regards,
win

I agree. Nokia's current and upcoming model designs are, in my opinion, getting worse. Eventhough I feel they have one of the most user-friendly system around, but I'm looking for more than that now. For functionality and style, I took a liking towards Panasonic, Sony Ericsson and Samsung.

People buy Nokia because they are used to this brand........not because Nokia phones are any better or good looking or better made !!! In fact, Nokia phones are poorly made nowadays !!!!!!!!

Excellent Design... Great Quality... The dream phone I was waiting for long. Thanks NEC to give this nice slim phone. Otherwise, you would end up using UGLY NOKIAs (40% marketshare), at whatever prices they ask for. Don't make NOKIA another MICROSOFT. We as consumer should keep promoting the new great designs to get benefits of compititions.

Believe it or not, I got this phone about a week ago. I stay in Singapore, it's a phone market here. After using for this long, I give it a 8/10 because I prefer good simple solid phones to ones that's fully packed with features.
And Jack, if you do some comparision, this phone does have a shorter standby and talk time than the rest simply because the battery is built-in. hope that answers your question.

Pio :
This phone has been on sale in Hong Kong for 3 - 4 weeks already. We can buy this phone even before the official launch date!
The L1 is sold out at the moment so you won't be able to get any. The next shipment will be coming in October sometime.
This phone is MADE IN JAPAN so it come directly from Japan.
regards

Well, the buttons are a bit small, and unless you have nimble fingers or a trip set of finger nails, its pretty hard to push for button. (NOTE: not meant for big hands or women with tallon-like nails) ... it fits perfectly in any small purse or a back pocket... my only problem is, is that it doesn't have a speaker phone :-(
Besides that, the phone works like a charm, not hard to figure out, and the PC program that comes along with it, is fantastic.

I infact have this phone since last month now. And I am really delighted with it. Esp the quality of its display and camera is amazing. 1.3 MP camera, you don't need to carry expensive camera while moving around. 25MB memory good enough for 125+ highest quality photos. MP3 player and BT for data transfers, no need for cables. So slim and compact comare to V3 Razr. More over made in Japan! I have had used many different phones, but this is simply amazing in this small size. If you want to put it in you Jeans, don't worry, it is thiner than your wallet.

I have no idea if this L1 support bluetooth data transfer or not(I did not try).
When compare with the V3 side by side; the L1 is narrower & tiny bit thinner but overall it is longer than the V3(including the "antenna handle"). The V3 look better in comparison & more comfortable to hold.
L1 has got build-in battery so you cannot change it. The sim card slot is on the side.
The numerical numbers of the keypad are hard to press(you have to press quite hard) & the feel of the feedback was no good(the response & feel of the V3 keypad is nice for a thin phone).
The screen colour is ok, interface ok. Anyway I am not impressed so I did not buy it.
To me, the V3 is much better overall!
