thing is, ive seen the reviews, they are either "i really loved, iphone killer" or "total piece of crap"..

there's no in between..

i know it's free and thats awesome, so wont be complaining..

just curious as to what it's like..

Mate awesome phone.
Had mine for about a month. cant fault it.
Easier to use than the i phone. Got mine with 12 months free music, awesome, not even gone all the way through it yet. but so far 10/10

Little bit chunky but most phones are now anyways.
I Really Like
stereo, Hi Fi Surround sound
3.2 megapixel 3x digital zoom
81mb internal memory with a 8G card

I can't speak from experience or anything but I can say that nothing else I've seen beats the iPhone's GUI. It is just so fluid feeling and easy to pick up and use... from the experience I've had with symbian OS's they aren't anywhere near as user friendly. Like I said though, I haven't used a 5800 so hopefully they are awesome cos that would be the icing on the cake of a free phone.

so i got the phone last night, my overal rating of it - love it..

* better res then the iphone
* iphone has a better interface, but the nokia isnt bad either
* they both run just as quick
* can do more with the nokia
* comes with free music downloads for one year - although DRM locks to nokia handest, SoundTaxi takes care of that
* internet is quicker on the iphone when not connected to a local network but thats what my home pc is for
* iphone feels large in my hand - hand i have large hands - nokia fits snug
* iphone has a larger screen, not much larger, only slightly

i do like the iphone and actually wanted one, but this phone is just as good..

wouldnt go so far to say it's an iphone killer, but it's competitive.. iphone will win due to apples popularity from the ipod and super advertising campaigns..

only thing that held me back on the iphone was the text messaging and the pxt messaging... im a spastic when it comes to typing on my ipod so wouldnt be any better on an iphone, and the pxt being unavailable lost me... however i know its now available in the latest software upgrade... so unless they wanna change the txt msging to have a keypad style interface (just like the 5800) im gunna have to go for the 5800 :)

Just has full qwerty, not the number pad style.
The new update allows you to type in landscape so it's more spread out.
The keys are much bigger now


Typed with my iPhone ;)

qwerty typing on phones is too slow and too difficult if you have larger fingers lol..
