"Does what it says on the box"

What I like:

Browser, display, 3mm jack, video and picture taking ability, candy bar design

What I don't like:

Thick design, navigation/selection keys.

Review:

Great phone which is a massive improvement on the original N95. It does not suffer from the same fault prone sluggish software, the GPS seems quicker to lock on, the battery massively improved, the candy bar design feels way stronger and doesn't creak or flex. The buttons that all the reviewers keep barking on about really aren't that bad..yes they are narrow, but that also means that they are spaced out quite well and protrude enough for you to gain great feedback...certainly a week in and even those with the thickest fingers get use to them (I did)..I didn't like the navi pad though..I find that you often tap the selection key or navigate in the wrong direction by mistake. Looks-wise I find it rather attractive and can't understand why most reviewers are dissing it's design..thick body asside..I think the phone looks quite nice..with the soon to be released black version set to win over even more hearts and minds.
If I could make a request I would ask them to shave off some of the thickness in the body of the phone, extend the display further out to the edges of the device, and allow charging off a USB connection. The buttons could be improved but a compromise has to be made and there just simply isn't enough space for both a large display and keys on a candybar design
