Verdict:

Perfect for Linux developers with deep pockets, but despite great performance and an intuitive OS, it's not suitable for consumers who want a wide selection of apps and easy updates.

I just tried this out - a friend has it - pretty neat but I am still in love with my N95! There are some apps for this phone at http://www.nokiaappstore.co.uk

Surprisingly Very Good and Reliable to Use!

This phone kills the Sony X10 minipro in terms of no hangs and superior screen display resolution. It gets the job done so much better than any Xperias! I wished I gotten this or the HTC Legend before my 2 Xperias!!
