This is a very good phone. I have been using it from past 2 and a half years. Absolutely no issues with the software or functionality. The only issue was with the keypad, which was replaced for free by Nokia. Features like motion sensor, steps calculations (which in turn can measure the speed at which you are walking!) are rarely found in other phones. Nokia should have marketed this phone better. Too bad they had to stop marketing to promote N-series.

This mobile is the best i have come across to be honest. However, I think they need to change the keypad as its to weak. Will have gr8 competition. Hope Nokia does do something about it.

This phone is nice in terms of the camera, video and music.

Major disadvantages:
1. No casing replacement
2. It keeps hanging (sending messages would take a minute or two)

I love this phone but it sucks!!!

> In reply to amitulovekaustubu @ 2009-05-13 19:44 from vGu1no it's not ridiculous...

yes mine got hanged a few times but because of bad software, conflicting apps or opening way too many apps...

not hang for no apparent reason...

and it's way infrequent to bother during the two years period...

you have problem with yours then too bad for you...

no hang problems with mine... over two years now...
if you have problems perhaps you should hard reset your phone, get new/latest firmware, format your memory card...

if you install programs do it one by one... see if there's any that causes the problem...
