Overall I think this is a really slick phone - camera quality is fab. Getting the back off for the 1st time needs a slight bit of effort but certainly not worth mentioning as a con. Really lovely looking phone and very light and slim. Have had no problems with volume levels at all yet. Can anyone tell me how to mute the key pad tones as that starting to become annoying?? One thing I would say though - the manual that comes with it is pathetic.

Hope the next firmware upgrade can change that.

1. LCD brightness -> Level 2 (bright enough +save energy :)

2. backlight time -> On = 30secs, Dim = 5secs

3. Keypad light -> use at custom time (after 20:00, until 07:00)

I agree, its expensive, but I got my hands on a demo. paid halfprice.
I must say guys. Its the best phone Ive tried
for a long time. the camera is exellent!
what gsmarena says here in the reviews is right on the money.
wait for a pricedrop if you like, but I say. BUY IT! its much better than an N95!

this phone really deserves a higher score than the ones shown.. i think alotta people are giving it bad scores because of mainly 2 probs that are EASILY fixed. 1. back cover- push down and out on the back cover using your PALM as you grip the face of the ph with your fingertips (u should be able to remove the cover just using the one hand SIMPLE). 2. ring volume- go into profiles and then edit then set to max ring volume (if its still low its the mp3 not the phone).
i wish people would just spend 2 minutes tryin to figure out their probs first..as far as caller volume goes it seems to vary a fair bit from caller to caller so this seems to be issues with networks as much as it is the actual phones.
