Good: homebrew stuff, for a techy guy like me its a laptop in my pocket

Bad: the phone app, lol & battery life but battery not an issue for me coz I'm a cabbie

Comment: Nokia never said it was a good phone. jnust a brill multimedia device. Owning this for myself who always has access to a mobile phone charger in my cab is ideal. If I'm going out anywhere and need the convenience of a decent phone then I take the sim card out and put it in my old Nokia N95 8GB which is an excellent PHONE

Good: Applications, Multi-tasking, Skype integration, Adress Book

Bad: Battery Life up to 1 day with 2G and Wifi, but with Bluetooth and GPS up to 4 hours top, Camera; although it has Carl Zeiss you are not able to take a photo in low light conditions (so.. no photos in the afternoon nor the night), GPS; no voice indications, if you are not connected to the internet you can't search places or streets, and it becomes extremely slow to locate you , the USB mini-port is extremely fragile (broken after 4 months of normal use), size (too big) ... practically it's a BETA phone

Comment: A very geeky OS, not as complicated as Blackberry but not for most regular users. The FM transmitter has a very low range, sometimes it does not work in my car. Without internet ( I have no internet plan) the GPS took about half an hour to find my position (not an option for when you get lost in a big City), It's very disappointing that you practically not have a camera working in the afternoons, nights or interiors. The mini USB port is very fragile, and it seems to be a some-what common issue that it becomes broken (which may be solved only by changing the whole Motherboard). No Java compatibility, no compatible also with the latest Flash version. Landscape mode almost all of the time, no real use of vertical mode.
It is very sad that Nokia is selling such a BETA phone, with many flaws with such a expensive cost.
A total disappointment for me.

Good: 32 Gb + 16Gb, Free Maps, FM Tuner

Bad: slide out keys too small

Comment: Multi-tasking... listen to your music [5000 tracks] through your car speakers [FM stereo] whilst being directed by the satnav and if someone calls you can have a conversation with the pressing of one button.

Good: everything, i can't fault it, it's fast, looks great and it lasts. i use it all day, everyday , and its brilliant.

Bad: nothing, at all.

Comment: i love it, the only thing that i could maybe fault is battery life only lasts just over 24 hours and for me i wish it could last longer as i'm always on it but other than that, it's great. i haven't had a nokia phone in years as i prefered LG but since this phone, i think i will be sticking with nokia for a while.

Good: Camera. FM transmitter,

Bad: Poor Nokia Support, lack of Apps, Obsolete OS!

Comment: Wanted the top of Range "not apple" smartphone and thought when I bought it, it had the potential. however after waiting and waiting for the PC suite to be updated. (this worked with my 3 year old N96),and the fortcoming firmware update (which I have not had the update OTA. (dont want to brick this £500 device))
Thought as the Flag ship Nokia product surely they (Nokia) would be "supporting" this product..

Sorry Nokia you boys are totally out of touch with your User base. Will not be buying another Nokia product after this mess.

Got the HTC Desire yesterday and wow that is an experience, yes it does not have an FM transmitter, nor the camera is as easy as the N900 to use, but totally amazed at the "flow" of its useability. It is brilliant....This is what I wanted my N900 to be like.......
