Detailed review
This has GOT to be the sexiest, sweetest–I hate to even call it a phone–communicator ever stillborn. Makes everything else I’ve had feel cheap, including original iPhone. After a very slight earning curve, you’ll wonder why all OSs aren’t this simple and sweet. The screen is phenomenal, pitch black black and astonishing colors. There’s more apps here than I thought, and there’s a site with many more you can sideload. Did I mention how phenomenal this looks and feels? I’ve had 15 apps open and not a stutter on one. Got mine from Australia, ordered the cyan, got the black and am not one bit disappointed. My SIM card (micro btw) ain’t leaving this baby for years. If Nokia’s WP7s are anything like this, Nokia is back in a HUGE way! And screw it I am moving the whole review up to 5, lack of apps and stillborn ecosystem de damned. It”s loaded with everything you need anyway. Thank you for this one Finland!

ADDENDUM: Two weeks after I bought this phone I left it on my bed, grabbed my sheets and threw everything into the washing machine, including my N9. Warm/Cold. Tide with Febreze®. I stayed in bed a day in a fetal position when I realized. Put it in a bag of rice, had no hope, week later I plugged it in and booted it up. It has been running perfectly for 3 weeks now, including camera flash and all connections. Fuck iPhone for being the Jesus phone this is the true Messiah. This phone is a miracle...

Hey man sorry to hear. I was miserable for days when I realized I had washed mine. Put it in bag of plain dry rice and leave it there for at least a week. Open up the simand USB cover. Just think of it as dead. After a week, plug it in and see if it works. Mine is still going strong but I think I was really lucky. Good thing is they have gone waaaay down in price since I bought one. Good luck and lemme know if it works. Dishwasher!!???
