well mine came this morning and i have been using it all day. None of the issues you have Ben seem to be effecting mine so maybe yours was a duff one?.

Really impressed with the build quality its great in the hand and looks great too

I've added a very small number of low-light images to the set above (more to come – the battery ran out). They're poor relative to the stronger N-series devices, but better than most previous E-series. Strangely, of the night-time images the better-looking one(s) were taken on the 'automatic' settings. The ones in 'night' mode have more noise… the blur is just my poor technique / no-coffee jitters.

I agree with Ben that his handset is dodgy. The slider on my E75 looks fine with an even (not too wide) space between the top & the sliding keypad. The memory card slot opens okay. SMS alerts audio sounds good to me. Haven't identified any potential faults yet on my device.

Increasingly thinking this unit is faulty now…

Despite 'proper' efforts the memory card slot is stuck shut.
The top piece is definitely not flus with the base (per my comments above).
Alerts like text messages have a loud squelchy hiss noise in the background (although other audio seems OK).

Still very impressed – will check with Jon Jensen to ensure his doesn't have these problems – and assume it's a duff one for now. Everything else is too good for these niggles to be design issues (I think).

Nice one Ben, those photos look pretty damn good for an E-Series… looking forward to seeing how it performs in low-light.

For those not in the know, with the slider closed this could almost pass for a normal candybar. Nokia really have done some great work cramming the innards into these new E-Series handsets!
