I'm absolutely in love with it.

Pro's

  • Huge screen
  • 5MP camera with flash
  • 8GB storage
  • Good battery life
  • 3G and HSDPA
  • Wifi
  • Bluetooth with A2DP
  • Flickr upload automatically set up
  • AGPS with Nokia maps

Cons

  • predictive text is not very intuitive (for adding new words etc.)
  • In the call history - you can't tell which number of a contact was called or called from
  • It's a little bulky but it is my work phone so I can let that one go

I's great, I've got Gmail, Gmail For Google Apps, Opera Mini, Google maps, Nokia Sports Tracker, Fring, Youtube and Skype installed. It really is a joy to have. I'd easily recommend it. Apart from the touch screen of iPhone I think it would kick it's ass.
