Advantages: Looks great for a Nokia

Disadvantages: Slow functionality

On the whole this phone is pretty good. There are tons of features that you can use to sync it with your email/pc etc. As someone who uses the phone for minimal use such as texted and calling, online browsing it is pretty good. Initially the thing that attracted me to this particular phone was because it was both a nokia and a slide phone. The slide function is robust and strong (much better than on a previous model). The phone is slim lined and attractive, although compared to it's competitors from other models probably seems a bit square/chunky. If you are someone who wants to stick with a nokia though it gives you everything you need.
I have found that the phone is quite slow, and things take don't instantly load, this is because it is full of applications which you are unlikely to use.
The main buttons on the phone take a while to get used to but once you are familiar they become like second nature!
Overall I would say this phone is quite complicated, packed full of functions that the average mobile user won't use. It looks pretty sexy for a nokia but isn't the best choice of phone. The slide function also makes the phone feel quite fragile, so if you want something to throw in to the bottom of your handback I'd suggest getting something stronger!

Summary: If you're not fussy and can perservere with the menu etc then it is a great phone!
