plus:

good reception
cons:
slow response time
no "alphabet" on dial pad view (hard to call for ex. 800-something kind of numbers)
not acceptable:
ON/OFF key stopped working so practically my phone is dead only in 12 months
often gets stock in vertical view (view does not flip by rotating the phone)
 Where art thou Nokia Sep 01, 2010
Oh Boy, where do I start a review for this product.
I saw this product on Sale at Dell website and overly impressed with the specs and the reviews on Amazon - almost immediately I ordered one for myself and just about to order another one for my wife. I put it on hold till I try out one of them - glad that I did not order the 2nd one.
Initially I did not like the idea of going for a $30 data plan with At&t and being stuck to a service provider for 2 long years and badly wanted to buy something with no data plan.
Let me break down each of the feature functionality of this product in detail - it is probably the most detailed review you will find on this product. First the good part and then the bad stuff
As a phone - receive/make calls : 10/10
===============================
Full marks to Nokia as a phone - the phone has excellent signal reception, compared to any of the smart phones out there in the market. I have used a blackberry/iphone/samsung and Nokia score above all
Camera (stills) : 5/10
===============
Camera is good for outdoors, but very poor for indoors - the photos look very grainy. Front camera is decent and you can use it to make video calls with your friends running fring on their iPhone/Android and other nokia
Camera (video) : 7/10
===============
Video quality is excellent, I have shot a few videos outdoors and almost compares to HD quality
Camera/Video/Front/Rear switch : 2/10
==============================
Since the phone feature video, stills, front & rear camera: Switching from a video to still and back to video. Switching from front to rear camera and back is so difficult and non-intuitive. I am a pretty good geek with stuff and I found it extremely difficult and confusing to switch between different modes.
Calender, Memo, Alarm ... : 5/10
======================
Can sync with Exchange on your computer, but cannot sync directly with exchange servers unlike android/iphones which can directly connect to your company servers. Which means, everytime, you need to connect the phone to the computer for sync
You can setup alarms, but you cannot wake up to your favourite mp3 music
Music player/Video : 5/10
==================
Music player output is very good, but the player software is poor, unlike the modern day phones which provide various options to view your music - playlist, audiobook, artist, album, genre: Nokia has a botched up music player interface.
It even lacks a audio book player. It does not playback divx movies (sorry torrent folks :)
Youtube playback: 2/10
================
Ok, I thought I will be able to use this to play youtube videos to entertain my daughter while driving we are driving. I was not able to play even a single youtube video without pauses and jerks, made several attempts and finally gave up.
Read on the forums and some suggested me to use the desktop version & try it on wifi - But even on Wifi, while it is better than 2g/3g - it is still disgusting playback speed.
I was very disappointed with this whole youtube playback part
Yahoo/Gmail access : 3/10
==================
Imagine that you open a mail and it comes up as new mail
This phone does not even support html emails, no images either. Other than that, the good part is that it does a pretty good job of syncing with Gmail & Yahoo and downloads the emails
Keyboard : 7/10
=========
The keyboard was a bit impressive - you have 3 options - mini keyboard, full size keyboard or you can write in your handwriting. I liked to input text with the full size keyboard as this one was the most convenient.
Apps : 2/10
====
Yes, there is an app store, but it the store is so poorly organized and very user unfriendly that you would end up spending hours to find the right app for you.
Next the apps itself - there are some decent apps available for gaming and productivity, but if you have used any android/iPhone app - you will realize that Nokia is waaaaay to behind in the game.
Touch Screen: 3/10
=====================
First of all this is a resistive touch screen, means you need to actually put pressure on the screen for it to work, unlike the modern day capacitive touch screen which will only need you to just touch and the screen will pick up static charges from your fingers.
So the Nokia's resistive touch screen works, but it is very poor in response - you will almost always need the accompanying styles
Radio : 3/10
======
It does have a radio, but it will not play unless you plug in the headset which acts as a antenna. Even after plugging in the antenna, it picks up a few strong signals, but did not pick up some of the weaker signals neither indoors, nor outdoors.
GPS ; 4/10
====
I have a 3 year old GPS from garmin and I thought I will throw it out after I get a Nokia. Oh oh, big mistake. The Nokia phone comes with a assisted GPS (means it does triangulation with satellites as well as with cell phone towers.
While the phone does a good job of finding your current location, it is extremely poor in finding directions and reading out the street names and directions. It works, but it is no where near to a regular GPS or a built in GPS like the ones in iphone/android
=========== summary =============
Honestly, I have never felt this frustrated with any phone in my life- when I really wanted to love this so much.
Nokia - where art thou ? come down from your ivory tours and give us a good phone. We do not want to be stuck up in the vicious circle of At&t and apple - we want unlocked phones and we do not want to see crappy phones like this from you. Pls wake up.
Good Aug 31, 2010
It is overall a great product.
The signal is strong, the free GPS is great, the camera is excellent.
The touchscreen keyboard is okay for me (small finger tips) but quite inconvenient for my husband. The screen rotation is slow sometimes.
One stupid thing is there is no alphanumeric dialer. So when I try to dial a phone number given in the letter format, I have to decipher it by myself.
good phone ! Aug 31, 2010
good phone, lots of stuff on it to keep you busy. speakers are good quality, and it has 3g. you cant go wrong for the price of a touchscreen 3g phone. sound quality is good, but the reason i gave it a 4 and not a five is that its hard to text from. i do reccomend buying this product.
 Good for price, but iphone killer its not Aug 31, 2010
First off, when I was looking for a basic (unlocked), no bells and whistle phone. But couldnt find one that fit my needs. (Purchased a supposed basic unlocked Motorola off Ebay, different story, but lesson learnt, don't trust Ebay)
I have a new Ipod touch, so did really want apps, wifi and media. But after being unsuccessful in a basic phone search, I thought about getting a full featured phone and eliminate my itouch. After reading all the reviews about this phone and seeing the price of an Iphone (well out of budget), I decided on this nokia.
Once receiving this phone, setting it up and with playing some java games on the device. Upon using I immediatly realized that this phone is not even close to the same ballpark as apple products.
Comparing this nokia to my itouch (pretty much a iphone), I began to notice that this phone is not as refined as apple options.
1) The screen is a pain to use, even with the stylus, screen feels soft, not as sensitive and annoying. It gets scratched easily, my ipod is 12 months old and not a mark to be seen, this phone is now 2 weeks old and has a few deep marks. I have purchased protector to eliminate this.
2) The apps and games available for this phone are terrible, I have downloaded 20-30 java games and apps for this phone and have deleted all but two. Graphics, game play and entertainment on all games is terrible. I have downloaded (not purchased) awful games from itunes, but then there are some great games. The graphics of these java games remind me of my first ever gameboy and I would prefer to use the gameboy as the on-screen function of the nokia is crap.
3) This phone has issues, it freezes at times and you get a solid blue screen, shutting down and a minute later and the phone is fine (happened twice in two weeks).
This phone is great as a phone (only as a phone), easy to use, great for contact detail, good battery life (3-4 days with minimal use, 1-3 with moderate)great sound for media/calls and acceptable Wifi. For the price I think this phone has great value, it was one of the cheapest I could find with wifi, great for music and movies (forget games and apps). I travel a bit and basic phone Wifi is great to check emails and facebook at free hotspots.
In the end I will keep this phone it does what I require, but I will still be keeping my ipod touch, its just so much more enjoyable to use. My advice if you have/can justify the money get a unlocked Iphone, if not this nokia will suffice.
