mine finally came from Rose today! ...it was a bit odd that there was a hot pink leather mini-strap included..but that could just be some sort of inside joke from bearded men who call themselves rose :silly:
anyway, the phone is awesome and we've heard all the great things about it, so heres some minor gripes ill mention for those who are still on the fence.
1) the phone is a great size, but the keyboard will take some slight getting used to, as theres no space between the keys unlike the big gaps found on the e61i.
2) the earpiece volume is moderate; nothing to write home about, but definitely good enough to use
3) the power button is also like a plastic-red color which i dont personally dig too much as it kinda ruins the professional look on the rest of the phone.
4) the icons/themes are also guilty of looking a little childish and not as professional as id like, but a new theme could easily fix all that.
5) the version from rose DOES have chinese keystrokes (over #1-5 on the keypad).
6) the new design of the battery cover is a slight nuisances as well, since you now have to pop two parallel buttons to unhinge it, as opposed to the single button on older nokia models.
obviously everything is extremely minor. the phone is still a wonder overall!
quick question for guys now though: i cant seem to find the option where you used to be able to display your most recent text msg inbox (or at least 2 lines of it anyway) on the active standby screen. did they remove this feature or can i just not find it?
