I love it. The screen is great (OLED beats LCD hands down), the CPU is actually fast enough for S60 to feel snappy, and the camera is fantastic. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is that it’s missing a few obvious improvements: image stabilization, a better browser, and a better email client.
The Nokia browser is pretty good, but it doesn’t have the sensible reflow abilities of Opera Mobile (which resize the main column of an article to fit my screen, so I don’t have to scroll horizontally). On the other hand, Opera Mobile’s form input can’t use predictive text unless you tell it to pop up a separate dialog, which gets kind of tiresome when I want to type in comments. It also doesn’t have the ability to send pages by email or MMS.
The email client is the worst part: it doesn’t work for me at all. It can’t log in to either of my IMAP-over-SSL accounts–worse, it doesn’t tell me why not; it just tells me, “Unable to log in. Try again.”. Since the client on my N75 could handle both these accounts, this is clearly a downgrade.
One concrete problem: the N-Gage system comes with an activation code for one free game, but entering the code as written keeps giving an “Invalid code” error. Googling found the answer: the first character of the code is a zero, not the letter O. (This is particularly exasperating because *all* the other characters are letters.) Also, you might have to omit the spaces–either that, or I had a typo the first time I tried.
Mostly, though, I’m extremely satisfied. The Ovi Store is a huge improvement over Googling for Symbian apps; being able to write apps for my phone in HTML+JavaScript is really nice; and HSPA is an order of magnitude faster than UMTS.

Ive owned the Nokia n95 and n97, but this phone is definitely my favorite out of the three. The camera takes amazing pictures while the overall feel of the phone screams quality. The phone is extremely responsive even with several applications open. The features are very plentiful and even though this phone is not a touch screen I would pick it hands down over the n97.
