Summary: Nokia smartphone that's a good value
Comment: Overall I'm impressed. Ergonomics, usability, and screen/brightness are all fantastic. Speakerphone is the best I have ever heard on any phone, ever!

Voice quality was initially quite poor, but I traced that back to an older SIM card. **UPGRADE YOUR SIM CARD.** Now voice quality is acceptable 98% of the time. The other times I just hang up and call back.

I gave only 4 stars for the following issues. Hopefully all will be fixed in future firmware upgrades:
1. WiFi does not work unless the SSID is broadcast. It simply will not associate otherwise. ('Hidden' mode is broken.)
2. WiFi does not work at all with WPA2-Enterprise (using certificates). Certs can be loaded, but the credentials always fail. WPA2-Personal is the workaround I have employed.
3. Integrated on-ear speaker (NOT speakerphone) is too quiet. I cannot hear the other party if I'm in a loud moving vehicle or noisy room. I use a Bluetooth headset with in-air speaker to accommodate.

Finally, a note about the Web/XML browser: it is awesome! I am extremely pleased with the presentation, especially for Javascript heavy sites. I like it far better than Opera for Symbian. Oh, and there are no games. Come on, Nokia!
