I find it usable as a phone, if unwieldy. It feels like trying to get in a sparring match against a rapier using a large hammer. It starts up, but it was in landscape while it was down, so when I grab it it flips to portrait, sometimes flips back and forth again, eating precious seconds of people looking at you.
Other people pick up the ringing phone and, with a smooth movement and, without taking their eyes off you, push the green button (they know it's on the _left_), then put it to their ear without a worry. Half a second. It takes me 4. Rapier. Hammer.
Nokia, holding the finger ANYWHERE on the screen for over 500 ms should always answer, even on red. Hold-to-answer. Also, answering disables touch for 2-3 seconds so I can touch my face with the screen.
Also, the red reject it near the green answer. Am i the only one who used anykey answer on all other models? Am I the only one who noticed that ALL other pnones have green-on-left and red-on-right so you can blindly push? They should have the red on the bottom and green on the top or something, but no, they are right next to each other.
Also, why is the damned image so small? there's like at least double the screen real estate there. Also, it's a 50 GB phone. Bigger images!
Also, the log is inexistent. Last dialled is not separate. Times are missing. Can't dial whio called you, but the contact, meaning they call you from a phone and you try to reach them at home.
Also, there are about 500 other buts. Still, it's usable, I've grown accustomed to it. Needs polishing. Like, with a polishing machine after sandblasting.
