In my opinion this phone should be a 2 1/2 stars but I am considering other people's opinions. I am doing this since I believe they are the kind of people who would be buying such a phone.
Who is it for: It is for people who's first concern is the look and feel of the phone. THis phone looks great, and it is not light, which makes it feel more luxurious (eventhough it is a tad too heavy even for that in my opinion).
++++'s : Exceptional Look. Exceptional Feel to the touch. Clear screen. Easy Nokia menues. Bluetooth, Radio , and you know the stuff you would see on nokia's website.
----'s:
1- Buttons are too small, even for a small hand (it might not be the size of the buttons, but the how flush they are)
2- Too expensive for the price it is being listed at ($1000). This phone is not considered new any more (it was released in Europe around 3 months ago, and in Asia about 5 months ago). I would say a good price for this phone with all it's +'s and -'s is around $350 - $400
3- Battery life is too short, hence they provide you with two!!!
4- Radio reception is not that great.
5- the internal antena's position is somewhat aqward. The reason I bring this up is bec. in the manual it says you are not supposed to lay your fingers or hand where the antena is. Yet this is the natural place you would hold the phone from!!!
6- Eventhough it is a pretty phone, it can easily become an ugly one: FINGERPRINTS. The brushed steel the body of the phone is made off, clearly shows fingerprints, and it is not easy to clean up (you can clean it up it just takes longer than you would expect)
In Summery: All I can say if you are looking for a gorgious phone, and dont mind the price, or the short battery life, I will 100% recomend this phone to you, since I have checked the markets in the US, Europe, Asia and think this is by the far the nicest, and best constructed phone out there at the moment (12/2005). But on the other had if looks are not the only thing on your mind I would suggest making your own evalution of the neg points I made, and see what you think. Still at $400 I personaly think this phone is a good buy, since I believe this phone will have a long life (not saying that to its batteries).
