Yep, got it Thursday! Very nice! My only small complaint is the 5 way navi
pad. Sometimes difficult pressing right because of the raised multimedia key
on the right hand side, and sometimes makes a creaking noise. I do miss the
joystick on my N73, but I'm sure I'll get use to it! The number keys are
very small, but the spacing is good, and I'm already starting to get use to
them!
Another good purchase from Ebay - Phone was in brand new condition, with all
4 plastic films still intact!
Everything is working perfectly. Assisted GPS lock on in around 10 seconds.
Even in our living room! I've activated the 3 month free trial sat nav, and
tried it out locally today, with no problems!
Wifi works well! I've downloaded Nokia's free internet radio application,
and have been listening to quite a few stations via wifi from around the
world in stereo.
Camera is fantastic! The xenon flash was what made me get this over my
wife's N95 8GB. It really makes such a difference in low light.
Call quality is really good, callers sound really low tone with lots of
bass if that makes any sense! Signal strength is on par with my N73 (Very
strong).
It's a very nice weighted phone, that has a nice feel in the hand. The auto
rotation feature can sometimes rotate when you don't want it too, but very
handy when viewing web pages or photos. It can be switched off.
TV out works well. Connects to my Sony bluetooth stereo headphones fine and
music sounds as good as my N73.
I've signed up to Nokia's music download service (the whole reason between
the fall out with 0-Range and Nokia. I don't mind paying 80p a track and be
able to download it straight to my phone, and be able to play it straight
away. The bluetooth range with my headphones seems a little less than my
N73, but I'll see how it goes. I sometimes wonder how a device with GSM, 3G,
GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi all crammed in can perform as well in terms of signal
strengh, as a phone with just one or two connection options!
All in all, very pleased, and the best thing, 100% unbranded, sim free, and
unlocked.
Just going to fill it now with lots of applications! :-)
