Yup , the webcasts are good, better than I thought, watched few on Orange's site, I 've unlocked/decertified mine, it's a good phone but Microsoft have a lot to learn in the mobile phone arena, you need to run the upgrade (xp/2000 only, what a suprise!!!) It doesnt have caller pic-id built in :roll: .
Destroys batteries, mp3 skips all the time, wont play vbr mp3's or above 160kb or if there's any weird char in mp3 name (without a task manager you need to reboot phone if it locks up on mp3 with strange char in name(happens every time)) :roll: , too slow, you need a task manager/killer ot it grinds to a halt, every time it talks to the cell site the whole phone stutters and you get that little timer :roll:
Doesn't resume mp3 play after call, no one's writing any software for it cos of the certification, the camera only takes pics after going through loads of menus to create an MMS message, basically what ever you want to take pic of will have gone by the time you are ready, there is no built in pic viewer.
BUT!!! it is very flexible, nice size/weight, fantastic screen, overall I'm, pleased, if I could just load it with the Symbian OS 8)

Fear not my friend, it is groovy, visiting the BBC news, low graphics site is a joy to behold, if you get the mp3's right, the player is good, the speaker is REALLY loud, hotswapping the mmc card doesn't faze it.
It is now my main phone and my old T68i feels very cheap and the screen looks hopeless.
