Did you get it from Carphonewarehouse? They had a small number in stock yesterday, but they all went very fast.

i know there's a bit of a visual guide there, but how big is it? i've always thought it looked horribly chunky. what's the menu speed like?

Bought it on a decent enough contract, but it's unblocked with no custom software on it

Mini Review:

Speed - pretty quick, but it's what I'd expect from a S60 phone i.e. not the snappiest of the snappy but it won't annoy anyone.

Size - quite chunky but nice to hold in the hand, not too heavy either.

Screen - wow, amazing screen. Really nice resolution, good colours and very crisp.

Battery - dunno, only had it 3 hours.

Keypad - nice to use, good feel.

Slider - like this, nice firm movement.

Build - Feels well built, nice and firm. Doesn't creak when you squeeze it.

Menu - like this, nice icons and layout.

Audio - good sound from speaker, will try a proper song on it later. I like the fact they supply it with a small adaptor to connect regular headphones to.

Web browser - AMAZING. See pics:

Google & The Register:

This is what happens when you press back, it presents a screenshot view of each page you have visited and you can select which one to go back to.

Oh and the web browser is pretty snappy, especially going back a page.

Did I miss anything?

Is the web browseing useing the Wifi or the 3g? I'm looking into getting a N80 on O2 or orange but can't find out the priceing for any of the 3g related costs or if any free MBs come per month.

Going to phone them up in a bit see.

Tunney · 4 May 2006 at 12:38

Very nice.

I agree with you about the web-browser. It's light-years ahead of Opera/NetFront/PIE.

Minority · 4 May 2006 at 12:39

I was browsing on my Wifi connection, WPA2 too!

Stelly · 4 May 2006 at 12:43

edit: Web broswer is Apples Safari

Sic · 4 May 2006 at 12:55
