*****

The best phone on the market. I have had mine for two weeks and despite the few problems Nokia has informed many of us that there will be yet anot
her software upgrade that will stop the flickering in the games and allow light on the caller groups. I have managed to get an FM radio through Nokia as I downloaded the software for free. Only have to buy the headphones which you can get at any mobile phone shop. Love the detachable camera as it is small and brilliant although you have to get good light. It shows up well on my laptop uploading it through infrared. However, all Orange Network users cannot use the infrared as Orange will not support it. T-Mobile is the future, I guess. Overall Nokia have finally produced a good-looking, unique, user-friendly phone. Gorgeous, in fact. Constantly impresses friends and colleagues. Well done, Nokia. After doubts of moving to another company, maybe Samsung, this phone has changed my mind. I will be staying with Nokia for as long as I am around. Thank you.
