i have this phone for exactly 1 week and intentionally waited before writing a review. the verdict: i love it, but there are a few complaints.
pros:
+ 100% unique - form factor is the key here. head turner, you'll get "cool phone!" left and right. it's fashionably designed. nokia should have more color variations though.
+ slim - oh it's small, if you're looking for a light-weighter, this is it
+ voice and sound - a little better than my 1 y.o 6820.
+ mp3 player - quality player, impressive speaker (even if mono)
+ BT/IR - pretty standard, but look at siemens' cool phones (e.g sl65, sf65)...no BT
+ nice screen - for those who expect a large screen on this tiny phone, be reasonable! would you ask for a 21" rim on a VW beatle? it's perfectly sized, quality.
cons:
- screen - difficult to see in direct sunlight (possibly due to whatever used to do the mirror effect)
- non-replaceable battery - if you forget to charge your phone, you'll not have an option of swapping the battery
- radio - can't play through loud speaker w/o headset plugged it. apparently, this IS the nokia way for all radio phones. the vexing thing is that you CAN listen to the radio on loud speak IF the (proprietary) headset is plugged in. huh, nokia??? oh, and the headset is MONSTROUS. the wires are hard (almost unnatural), the speakers are larger than normal, and the connector is proprietary. in other words, i can't use my ipod headset to listen to listen to the radio.
- txt/# entry - i am a little used to the entry method (scroll wheel and select), but still rather slow. voice tag (not voice dial since you can't say the number) helps with common numbers and functions. however, you are limited to 10 numbers and i think about 5 - 6 commands.
- space - 50MB fits about 10 mp3s and a few VGA photos.
- 'buttons' - the dial wheel is slippery from time to time (difficult to find traction). it doesn't squeak like the one reviewed here. the slider 'grip' (the patch of velcro-like material used to help 1 hand sliding) is also slipper from time to time. slipperiness is at worst when your hand is too oily or too dry.
- no applictions - i can't imagine the owners want to play games on this phone; however, it would be nice if there are some basic apps (like calculator, stop watch, etc).

I have posted my opinion b4 but i'm posting again to announced that i have finally bought the phone on 24-May-2005 (to be precised). Till now, i'm lovin' it! I would recommend it to those people who live and breathe fashion coz it's such a head-turner. At the moment, there hasn't been any problems but i've asked the technician and they said that the lagging and freezing can be fixed F.O.C as long as it's still under warranty so that's very reassuring. Last but not the least, if u wanna turn some heads, dis the phone for ya'! Big Ups~

I bought it before Noel 2004 a few days for $880 AUD and quite happy though this one not that rich in function (which I'd expected it to be), no mp3, small screen, but everyone paid more attention to me since I used this phone I think...

Wow.. Thats glad.I have been using it for one week now. Am also using it along with the nokia bluetooth headset.Its perfect and i cannot find any flaws with it.. with more usage dialing numbers and sending sms becomes easy. Now i am very comfortable with it.. Nokia never lets us down.

i like this phone very much, but reading so much bad opinions i wasn't sure about it. But after reading Archana Patchirajan's opinion i decided to get one :). And i have no regrets! This phone is for people who is goin' after design/fashion above functions, 'cause this phone is way to expensive if you compare it with samsung or other phones with lots of features. Also because of the price there aren't much people who buy this phone, which makes this phone more unique. It's like buying a LV or gucci while you can also buy MEXX clothes/bags.

I wanted to get this phone since its release, But i was very reluctant seeing some bad reviews.
But somehow with lots of guts and courage i went for this, and guess what. I like it a lot. And its a phone with lots of features and very stylish. And dialing numbers and sending SMS is not as hard as u think. With little practice u can tune in perfectly to manage this phone.
I dont see any reason its rated at an average of 6.9
I wud rate it at 8 / 10
I also have used 7610, 6630, 9500 and SE S710A
They are all in rich in features, But this one is cute and rich in style!
Its worth a try!
I wud give a green for anyone who looks for a stylish sleek amazing and trendy fashion phone.. Anyone who want a phone with a difference
