"Does what it says on the box"

What I like:

more features than the N95, it's like an utpto date version with extras

What I don't like:

software issues like music player constantly losing music

Review:

I love the N95 but was let down by the battery life. This phone will last 2.5 days on average compared to the less than 8 hours I got from the N95. The extra features like the auto rotating screen and audio themes are a nice touch but the navi wheel I don't see the point. It's more a gimmick than a practical gadget, especailly if you have giant fingers like mine.
The camera is good quality but suffers if you are in poor light and I found that image quality suffered when ever I used any zoom. It's also very difficult to keep the lense free from dust, even with a sliding cover on it.
All is not perfect with the phone.. 2 issues have appeared with mine
1- a software issue with photo editing prevents me from adding effects
2- The music player keeps losing my music and won't find it unless I put it all back on with the pc
I find keeping the phone grease free is impossible.
Apart from the problems which I'm getting sorted through Orange, hopefully, it is a great phone.
