Hi all,

Had the phone about 24 hours now so thought I would post my comments, I started comming from a bad experience with an HD2 and being a bit warey due to there not being many apps and the new os.

Wow am I impressed, Once you get used to the ui it quick and easy to use! here are some points

+ Installed the msn extra devs plugin, works great (not going to play with anything else from there however!)

+ skype , bloody awesome intergration love it. I know this is nothing new on other phones but it works great!

+ email , basic but thats fine , it lets me view, action and reply emails on the move, if I want to do real work ill get a laptop out!

+ the browser , wow full facebook in the browser, most of my custom web apps working with no dramas, love it! why do i need a twitter / facebook client when I can just go on the full site!

+ If you think this thing can not be used as a phone I would suggest you a bit odd. Great call reception, easy to use phone book , easy to answer with the touch screen. Allready I am not looking and just hitting answer or end.

+ the user interface is not that "sexy" but to be honest thats fine. I am so happy to have a Nokia built device again which feels great and does the basics very well.

Overall I am very very impressed and most of my worries have finished. The only thing I would like is a google maps application.

Personally I think within 12 months the next version of this OS is going to be very exiting!

This post is prob a bit boring to most but though a user first impressions might be usefull to some who have not yet taken the plunge.


I would summarise by stating yes there are features missing, most of which you will never use anyway. Unless you a phone nutter and are speed and voice dialling ever moment of every day, this is fine as a phone as well as a internet device.
cheers,
