Anything that you buy that only does basics AFTER you download something you would consider half finished. That in itself is a bug IMHO, a problem and well worth pointing out to anyone that needs or wants to buy this phone. Buy a BMW but you have to download and apply later the air con, central locking, electric windows and back seats. The kind of thing every other decent car provides


For me the three killers.
Ovi store is less than rubbish.
Ovi suite doesn't support this phone. (Neither does PC suite fully)
Ovi maps. What is the point. (Can we get google maps?)

Out of the box MMS, caller / SMS notification (Missed and arrived), ringtones for separate callers. And of course downloading 14 apps to get basics is a problem.

Of all the apps you have mentioned, how many are ACTUALLY finished. I have a massive issue of battery life when I put extras devel lists on. So I don't, and funnily enough, hardly any useful apps appear six months after I got the phone.

Vodaphone and Expansys (Main UK suppliers) sell it as a phone. So somewhere that message is being ignored. If you buy it as a phone, have it sold as a phone, listed with other phones and actually titled as a phone. You expect a phone.
