Detailed review
I couldn't agree less with the two positive reviews. This mobile phone is a lame duck - especially when it comes to email. I use IMAP, my inbox tends to be small (inbox victory!) and still this phone needs about one minute on a 3G connection to refresh my email. So despite the keyboard being really nice there is no good use for it.

Setting up WiFi is really complicated - it does not work the "draft-n" standard and refuses to connect to b/g/n combined - but even when it works you have to allow every application the use of wifi. I've had a Nokia n800 Internet Tablet and own a iPod Touch, these devices just connect.

To be fair, Nokias basic software (calendar, address book) does work and sync nicely, but almost all applications tend to be soooo slow. A slow start and almost no responsiveness afterwards.

Its the dinosaur of smartphones ;)
