Thanks for this review. There's no substitute for going along to a store and testing things out in your hands, imho. I was tempted by another phone in the range using the same form factor and key arrangement. A few goes with it soon showed me that these tiny keys and my fingers don't make a happy match. Too bad, as there's a lot else to like here.
Does this phone come with software for your PC or Mac? I don't think you mention this. But I like to back-up the stuff in my phone on a regular basis and a good PC suite is important for this. Nokia's is pretty naff-looking imho, but at least it works OK. Still doesn't come across as much more than a token effort, though. I don't like their rudeness in dropping a hook into your Windows startup ini. Good programs should always ask before doing this, and give users the choice of having a program always on or run and closed when it suits.
