    This phone does not have any analog with it`s combination of spec`s:
    - Under 100grams(doesent pul down pants)
    - Very rugged - plastic outside, magnesium chassis inside.
    - Physical keyboard(flat touch screens does not use human finger sensor abilities)
    - Hardware dedicated lock/unlock slider key
    - Hardware camera start/stop cover, dedicated hardware dual-step(focus) camera button
    - Micro SD slot(up to 32GB :D)- 4GB are some times not enought when shooting long videos on vacation.
    - Standart(modern) micro USB 2.0 speed connection to PC 5MB/s
    - Two powerfull speakers
    - Nice still camera(5mpx), with macro(can shoot microscopic letters) func and dual led flash.
    - Very good video(640x480 at 30fps) recorder with continious flash light support.
    -Second camera(for coolnes :D)
    -Ambient light sensor(controls power consumption by turning kbd lights off and controling display brightnes in dark and bright light conditions)
    -Wi-fi that remembers avery good acces point
    -A-GPS, autonomus GPS, fast lock time(5 sec) if needed, Garmin XT support with great free maps, speed cam warnings, speech guidence, turn zoom...
    -FM transmiter- cool feature very useful in car radio sometimes.
    -Accelerometer - turns photos and screen, snoozes alarms and silences calls("BIG" advertisement for Samsung Galaxy SIII ?!?!)
    -TV out- this one is basicly 'to be cool'', but works great
    -FM radio, intenet radio
    -Very usefull operating sysem with full working multitasking(can play game, be in skype,write sms, listnen to music... and switching betwen them). Discontiniued by MICROSOFT Skype for this phone allows to make voice cals and transfer ANY king of files(photo, video, programs..) long before android phones got this functionality. Phone can read pdf and open and edit word, excel other type of documents.
    N-gage gaming platform is old but there are soooo many cool games that can make a lifetime of pleasure(Worms, The ONE, Kappa base, Pinball, Bomber, Krally, Brain challenge, Tetris, Block braker and a 1000 more)
    There is even full remote desktop software. Operating system is so old, that there is software for olmost everything you can imagine(here I am missing infrared port of my old N95- to control any king of TV or device with IR)
    - Very useful flashlight soft, that in combination with dual led, rugged and now cheap phone is... perfect.
    -Saparate connector for charging is also cool, because micro usb connector is to fragile.

    IF SOMEBODY KNOWS REPLACEMENT FOR THIS SWISS KNIFE

    because:
    - CPU sometimes slowin too much, no flash support for browsing in internet
    - Will be good to have touch screnn for some purposes(picture scrolling)
    - Little ram(128)-sometimes exits programs when low on ram

                                    great mobile..with great camera...only problem is with its internal memory...the solution for this is just to format the phone once.........after formating u will get 65 mb of internal memory...
