Full review

This is a very stylish and compact business phone with great features.

The balance between style and substance is slightly biased towards style but in a good way. For example, the standard keypad can be slightly annoying if you have to draft up long emails but I guess you know that you're not getting a qwerty layout!

The metallic effect facia gives the phone a polished feel and unlike other smart phones you're not 'carrying around a brick'.

As will all symbian phones you've got to expect that you're occasionally going to get crash outs but compared to other models I think it's fair to say that there is above average reliability.

I can only think of two things that could be better with this phone:

1) The four way metal 'joystick' can be a little rough on the thumb after prolonged use.

2) The contacts display is miniscule and you really need to have good eyesight to read the text. This is surprising considering all the built in voice features!
