It's a reasonably well built handset, a bit rough around the edges (literally, the metal corners are sharp!) and the external screen is nifty if not gimmicky. Software-wise, it's just your bog standard S60, no wifi makes it a bit frustrating at times and the camera is awful.

I don't know where it's aimed in the market… S60 seems a bit much for a low end handset like this.

… it's a confusing one!

Firmware updates will be pushed out via the operator, which concerns me somewhat as operators are often less than speedy in pushing out updates… but we'll see how we get on with the new and improved “open” t-mobile… don't hold your breath though ;)
