Typical price: £700
What is it: Premium-priced style phone with limited high-tech features
What we think: Superb build quality alone can't justify a stratospheric price tag. More style than substance

What I don't like:
There's nothing I don't like about it.
Review:
As usual, CNET has it all wrong. This is a phone first, and a great phone at that. This is a very, very expensive phone for grown-ups. This is not a media phone or a music phone, though if you really have to have that stuff, it has it. This is a first class, no nonsense device for people who love great industrial design and are willing to spend the money to own it. This is a phone for people looking for, well, a phone. This is a superb phone. Everything about this phone is a positive, including the version of S40 that it runs. This is not a gimmicky phone. This is not an iPhone. This is a Porsche 911. That's what it is. This phone is a classic.
I think CNET reviewers need a break. It's time for some new blood.
