WE LIKE:
– Business-related details like voice commands, Nokia Search, Team Suite

WE DON’T LIKE:
– Some restrictions on S60 operating system
– Too similar to Nokia 6288
– Camera options limited
Overall:
Some blemishes in the spec, but another winner for Nokia – a business phone with a sense of style.

Look and Feel:
A bit plasticky – plain, smooth and untextured, various tones of grey. Sits comfortably in the hand, though.
6/10
Externals:
Uncluttered edges. Camera lens on rear, video camera and small on/off switch above screen; big call/hang up buttons on either side of small five-way joystick.
7/10
Keyboard:
Could be better – keys are big enough but don’t give good feedback, especially when texting quickly. The plastic feels flimsy, too.
7/10
Display:
Reasonable – bright, quite rich screen, works well for email and internet. Suffers in bright sunlight.
7/10
Memory:
The usual Windows Mobile allowance (64MB user memory) plus microSD card slot (underneath battery, though).
7/10
Camera:
2.5x digital zoom, flash, some presets and basic editing functions. Photos look good, however. Fingers obscure rear lens easily, and there’s no cover for it. Full support for video calling.
7/10
Connectivity:
Good – WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth, USB. No EDGE, no IR, no HSDPA.
8/10
Phone:
Signal reception is generally good and voice calls are clear. Loudspeaker is too quiet on ringing, though.
7/10
Business Tools:
Windows Mobile 5.0 with direct push technology and Office for Windows Mobile (includes Outlook 2002 and Internet Explorer in addition to Office viewers and several preinstalled organiser apps.
8/10
In Use:
WiFi connects straightaway, works well. Apps seem to run a bit slow. Battery life is very good overall.
8/10
WE LIKE:
– Comfortable, easy to use
– Windows capability, WiFi connectivity
– Good battery life
WE DON’T LIKE:
– Plastic feel
– Memory card slot under battery
– Speaker too quiet
Overall:
Easy-to-use smartphone with conventional styling – shame it feels a bit cheap.
