>Its only problem is that the UI is not as polished as on iPhone or Android Agreed. The phone itself is solid, but the UI made me think of early versions of Android, and not in a good way (as in, "this is even worse than early versions of Android"). It often seems like a layer of shiny paint on top of a ton of older cruft - inconsistent or nonsensical menu structures, "back"/"exit" are all over the place and hard to predict, etc. It feels like a feature phone trying to be a smartphone. This might not be an issue for people used to Nokia phones, but coming from iPhone/Android it's quite jarring. >but it's good enough. That remains to be seen. It IS a solid phone, and Nokia keeps crowing about how they'll sell 50 million of this phone over the next year. I can see it doing well in markets where Nokia is traditionally strong (maybe? I don't know much about smartphone usage trends in those markets). But in North America, where Nokia is already behind iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry on the smartphone front, they are not going to catch up by releasing something LESS polished.
