A fantastic mobile phone
7 of 7 found this helpful I will not go into details about the feature list of this phone. I will just write about my personal experience. I am using this excellent phone for the following tasks (in decreasing order of importance):
1) Phone. This includes, calls, messaging, and alarm clock.
2) Satellite navigation. This is the feature, which made me buy this phone. Nokia's beautiful car charger DC-9 is now readily available for half price. Combine it with Garmin's excellent sat-nav software, and you have an extremely handy solution in your pocket. It is not only useful in the car, but also when you are on foot and looking for some place. Having a sat-nav device in your pocket is a big plus. I have to mention that the GPS reception of this phone is amazing. Using A-GPS it locks down the satellites very quickly, and the reception is quite robust. While travelling in my friend's car, who had TomTom sat-nav installed, this phone picked up the signals much faster than the dedicated navigator.
3) Internet via wifi or over the data network. At home, I really like browsing youtube using it. It is also quite good for checking emails, facebook and reading the news websites, if you like to do that kind of browsing.
4) Music.
5) Video recording. The quality of the clips is surprisingly good (640x480). I like recording shorter videos, of around 1 minute in length as they can be easily sent via email.
6) ScummVM. Playing old LucasArts adventures on this phone has some nostalgic value. Although without the touch screen, it is not ideal.
Overall, I am very pleased with this phone. It weighs very low, when you hold it in your hand. Buying on ebay was nice, as I could get the new phone for significantly less price. I would highly recommend it to anyone, who is looking for a single device for many tasks.
