Eric M. Santiago Said: Really good phone! ( Nov. 21st 2009 )
This is a really good phone for all of those people looking for a cheaper option for a good touchscreen smartphone. I personally use this phone with AT&T network, a Go phone account in fact, so you can imagine that having the Wifi is a great feature for me since I don't have an unlimited data plan. I use the phone a lot to make long distance calls through skype with the program Nimbuzz and I have to say that it's excellent. Streaming videos live through Qik is also very cool. It has a good variety of apps. As for cons, well I find it a bit unstable sometimes and I've had to reset it to factory settings twice cause certain features like the camera and music become unaccessible, and I don't even tinker with it much like some do by installing apps from other sites other than the store or installing custom firmware. This is my first touchscreen phone so I can't really judge too much the keypad but it has full qwerty and I've found it a bit of a challenge to get used to. Depending on how precise I am, sometimes I write pretty fast (Only a tad faster than T9 with predictive text) and sometimes I struggle a bit. I love the music player, and the camera and video recording capabilities are awesome. Also, the browser is more than decent, pretty speedy and you can also use Opera mobile 10 (not opera mini) which feels like a more full fledged browser than Opera mini and is also quite fast. Youtube works great, and so does google maps and GPS. Though I suggest you use Nokia maps, that way you can download the maps of your area and install them and avoid data usage, which is great for me. Brings and 8gb micro SD and I've considered getting a bigger one since the music and multimedia applications are so good :) Still haven't mastered video conversion so I can't opinion on that, but the videos it brought look awesome. Great phone all in all, despite it's small shortcomings.
Kanwarjit Sidhu Said: very good bestphone ( Nov. 20th 2009 )
I had owned various phones in the past and Nokia is the best on any comparison, for the Features available on this phone, had Apple had all these features it will cost 10 times more, most people don't even know it has extra camera on the front for video Calls along with the 3.2 MP on the back, Video is far better and there were no sluggish performance as far as I had used for more than a month, unlike iPhone this phone can run multiple applications at same time which is like multitasking in PC, so I can play music and browse websites at same time and switch to GPS , attend a call and type an SMS.. And it goes on...all at same time, iPhone cannot do more than one at a time, we get millions of free software, games, themes etc., unlike Apple App store, no need to pay more and more. Best feature, no MP3 conversion required, if you have lot of MP3 files on hard disk just drag and drop in few seconds, we can play, phone comes with 8GB of SD Card, can upgrade to 16 GB, that's more than enough, I had used the N95 earlier which costs double this price, this is not a NSeries phone from nokia, but it had all the features + touch screen of N series phone at half the price. If you like Garmin for GPS, Garmin GPS software available for this phone and installing that will make it the best GPS (it comes with Nokia's map software too) and no data plan or internet required for GPS as maps are copied to memory. It comes with lot of add on and Its not too big like iPhone and not too small, exactly made for using with single hand and I had replaced the blackberry phone used for Office with this and configured my Office outlook exchange server along with Gmail, hotmail and yahoo, how cool is that. It handles website just as a PC and there is no difference with any websites, I can login to bank accounts and do anything like PC, it has stereo speakers but the Nokia Headsets are far Superior in sound quality and build and it comes with built in Mic and buttons for music track change so we can play music and attend calls without touching phone. And FM is there to use while driving and at the Gym, Google has lot of software available for this phone like latitude, docs etc. If you want free chat software Fring (www.fring.com) is available for free, it connects yahoo, hotmail, AOL, Gtalk and Skype users all in one place and we can even make voice calls to online users. It has the great sync software that syncs all your photos, videos, contacts, notes etc between phone and PC using Bluetooth, just switch on the PC and it does the sync automatically. We can import and export all contacts from outlook, Lotus notes etc. And there is software to use the screen as a touch screen mouse for the PC like a wireless Bluetooth mouse and that's free too. For brand conscious users like me, I want to buy a phone from a telecom company like Nokia than a computer (apple) or TV (Samsung) company, who were just trying phones as one of their business. iPhone doesn't have many of these features and only selling because of marketing, if nokia did their part, this should beat any phone for sure, I don't want to lock with AT&T for lifetime with iPhone and pay $ monthly and pay for any applications and did I say its unlocked? What else you can expect from a phone? Comment Comments (7) | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Lawinger - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) I am huge on Nokia Phones (tried blackberry 8820, didn't care for). I upgraded to this phone from the N95. I really like the N95, but since I have started texting so much, really got annoying texting on the N95 (it just has a numberpad, no qwerty). Landscape qwerty on this phone is really nice, but hand recognition is awesome! I can write faster then I can type when texting, and if you want to keep notes, memos, lists, etc... on your phone, the handwriting entry makes it go quickly. All you have to do is write on the screen and it will type what you write. A feature to love. I have tried the GPS and it is similiar to the N95. I tested it against my Garmin Nuvi, and it is very similiar. Only complaint as that after you pass a road, it takes a second or two longer than the Garmin to realize you did or didn't turn, which is only annoying if you make a wrong turn (I did so on purpose to test), But for a phone GPS, it is great. Nice for when walking around an unfamiliar metro area. Didn't use POI's much, but played around enough to know they hit all the major spots in our small town, and when pulling up a cateogry such as restaurants, the list was extensive. Very, very handy to have GPS on phone, as I never take my Garmin off my car mount, and prefer not to have to. Also, satellite lock was very quick. Nice! You can keep 4 contacts (with photo icons) on homescreen for quick calling, texting, etc... but why only 4? Wish there was more. Dialing can be a pain, you have to click several times to get to the point of calling a contact, but I have gotten accusotmed to that (same on N95). Nokia should really make it a 2 click process, select contact and call, hope they make that change. If you pull up the name you want on your contacts you can press the green (go) bar at the bottom of phone and it will call that person. Internet is nice as well, picks up on my wireless internet fast, as well as quickly at the local coffee spot, but haven't used it beyond that. Video and photos are sweet on the lcd screen. Bluetooth makes transfer of photos and music from you computer to phone a snap. The speakers on this phone are amazing for a cell phone. Very easy to do. There are lots and lots of other nice applications to play with. This is the best choice I could make for a cell phone (definetly a step up from the N95, which is a subperb phone). If you like to text and want a full keyboard (or the ability to handwrite using the stylus), keep documents on your phone, (bluetooth is quick and easy transfer back to computer), want to enjoy videos and music (with great sound), like surfing the web, want a GPS (with no need for a data plan), and are a techy-gadget person like myself who couldn't pass up the idea of having a touchscreen, this is an awesome choice.

A. Carvalho Said: Good, but the iPhone is better ( Nov. 20th 2009 )
The reason I bought it was because it is unlocked! As a phone, it does a god job... but sometimes it cracks...
D. deLorm Said: Great Nokia Phone ( Nov. 16th 2009 )
I had been looking for a new phone for a long time. Every phone in the AT&T store and at their online site just did not seem to be attractive. Sure, the iPhone is great, but I didn't want to commit to a 2 year contract with a required $30/month data plan attached. And I can't replace the battery myself? Can't use the phone as a wireless modem? Hmmmm, there must be a better option. Hey, what's this? An unlocked Nokia phone that doesn't require a monthly data plan and I'm not locked into a 2 year contract? I can use the phone as a modem and the battery is easily replaced? Too good to be true? Actually it just gets better from there. Don't want to incur data charges? Just go find a local wi-fi spot and you're online in a few seconds! Oh, its an incredible music/media player as well. The built in speakers are the best I have ever heard coming from mobile phone or any other small device. If I turn the volume all the way up I can rock my office when I am alone, otherwise I need to turn it down or plug in the headphones. Did I mention the GPS? Very nice feature for a phone, but it was a little slow giving directions during a trip to Seattle recently, still worked ok and helped me find my way around town. I signed up for the free trial and it was useful, but my Garmin does a better job, but the Garmin was more expensive than this phone and that is its primary function. Still a cool feature, but that's not what I bought it for. First and foremost I use this as a mobile phone! You know, talking to people the old fashioned way, by voice. And this phone does that function flawlessly as well as letting me access the internet either via hot spots or through AT&T's 3.5G network (must mean that they're half way to 4G), which blankets Southern California and worked well in Seattle too. The other features you'd expect are present as well, a decent 3.2 mg camera and video that are fun to use, 8gb of micro SD storage and easy USB connection to your computer for uploading your favorite tunes, which you can use for your ringtones. So if you want a great phone that does just about everything an iPhone does and a few things more, for less and without a 2 year contract and a required data plan, check out this Nokia, you won't be disappointed. In the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit that I signed up for an unlimited data plan for $15/month that does not carry any commitment, I can drop it at any time, but I enjoy being able to look things up or access my email while away from my office that I have continued to use it. Also, don't be concerned that this is an unlocked phone, its too easy to set up if you have an existing phone you are replacing. Just slide out the sim chip in the old phone and slide it into the Nokia. Pop the battery in and you are good to go! Now go have fun!
F. SANCHEZ Said: It's really nice! ( Nov. 16th 2009 )
It is a great cellphone, very interactive, and easy to learn how to use it. I have to get used to this new techonolgy and all the things that it has because I had an old cellphone. The camera seems not to take some good pics at night but I guess I have to explore more of it. I had to restart it because I couldn't install some of the coolest applications such as Hotmail Msn and others but the rest is ok. I like it!
