I can not see the screen on my phone in the bright sunlight and the GPS is non-functional compared to my Garmin especially in Europe and the Middle East
screen NOT well protected
No screen protection
No screen protection, and covers for the phone are brittle and break easy

Larger screen than N95
2.8-inch screen
It's pretty much the same as the original except the bods at Nokia have given it a delicious 2.8-inch screen
too - the screen's stunningly crisp
Bigger screen

I have the impression that the slide screen is fragile would not like to see it fall when open
GPS available only when the screen is in OPEN position
Smaller screen
Also a rise in the phone around the screen so it will be harder to damage or scratch

The keyboard also felt kind of cheap
The keyboard also felt kind of cheap, but the back of the phone had a nice rubber design
and no qwerty keyboard
Oh, and no qwerty keyboard

Has the key features missing on the iPhone: 3G and GPS
better media key

Key points
GPS receiver is in the bottom of the phone (behing the keypad
availability to slide side ways for a qwerty keypad and not just alpha numeric
Soft keypad on slider (chrome
The keypad is a little small
but I would have liked a qwerty keyboard
The keypad is annoying
The keyboard is a little tricky
Nokia missed a trick by not giving this amazing phone a much bigger key pad or a qwerty keyboard to make it a proper computer
unlocking the keypad
The two-way slide moves too easily from its center position (it can move in your pocket for example, unlocking the keypad
the green 'call' button is on the very edge of the keypad

Other than the minor snag of battery power, but it's fine if you actually EXIT the applications you use
they will pile up and it will use up a lot of battery power
it is very much like a computer, if you don't get out of your applications/programmes when you're done, they will pile up and it will use up a lot of battery power

No Xenon flash
a xenon flash would have made the phone more impressive
Lack of Xenon Flash
Poor Battery life, Slide Mechanism, Call Quality, Lack of Xenon Flash, Heavy, Pricey, No Touch Screen
needs lens cover and better flash

ADOBE FLASH PLAYER
They have a flash on this one
browser support flash video from you tube
Xenon Flash for excellent Pics
Xenon Flash for excellent Pics, Great Features, very well valued for money

for LED flash
should have been associated with a xenon flash instead
batt life = pretty bad, no xenon flash, bulky and slider mechanism a little sloppy
I miss the Xenon flash so much
That's my only complaint, like I said, coming from an N82, I miss the Xenon flash so much

Sleeker shade of black
it's been painted black
so it's now slicker than the black bit of a killer whale
It's pretty much the same as the original except the bods at Nokia have given it a delicious 2.8-inch screen, has a far better battery, it's been painted black, so it's now slicker than the black bit of a killer whale

The phone looks elegant and professional with its all black finish
and a lot better in black
much faster than the original N95, and a lot better in black
Sexy black finish - why don't they make all phones piano black?
Black looks great
