I had some problems with the PC Suite software initially. It wouldn’t
connect via cable, but worked fine over Bluetooth. An
uninstall/reinstall of the PC Suite took care of that problem.

As a phone, this unit is sleek and sexy, but not pretentious. Sounds
like a fine wine, and it is. This is a phone that can simply be
desribed as classy. Trim lines, clean look. Easy to use dialpad. I
found the five-way navigation button a tad awkard with my large hands,
but I quickly adapted.

I’ve had no dropped calls or problems in that regard. The controls all
work well. It’s a nice littel speakerphone. I’ve done two rather long
conference calls with it lying on the desk and had no problems hearing
or being heard.

The camera is one of the best I’ve seen in a smartphone…period.

Low light photography is, as I expected, marginal. That really requires
a quality camera to pull off well. The focal length doesn’t allow for
any real closeup work either. I believe the new N80 supports closeups
and I’m really hoping to get my hands on one of those when they’re
rolled for bloggers to review.

Overall, I like it a lot. I’m not finished with it. I’ll be testing
some of the web capabilities and the Flickr app in greater depth when I
can find time to get over to the Cingular store.
