Music player needs a cooler look
The music player (identical to the 5800 XpressMusic one) is very similar to the S60 3rd edition versions. A few cosmetic changes here and there and touch-optimization is all that sets it apart.
Not that the music player isn't capable enough or something - it surely has more than enough functionality. However some more eye-candy would have been quite welcome. After all, touch interfaces are usually mostly about being fun to use and nice to look at.
Your music library is automatically sorted by artist, album, genre and composer and searching tracks by gradual typing is available. You can also create your own playlists in no time.
The process of adding tracks to the library is as simple as choosing the refresh option. You won't need to do that if you upload the music via the proprietary PC Suite application.

Not a bad phone...at the beginning

When I bought it I was very happy. The phone was fast and did what I want. Installed a lot of apps and still was fast. The headphones was, and still are very crappy...the sound is very bad (it's not a phone issue). After I updated my firmware, the problems started - my phone freezes very often, it become slow and almost unusable. Now I gave it for repair and hope it will be OK. Oh, and not to forget that the panel of the phone is awful.

i bought this phone like a month ago and i been using it since that and i have to tell if you want a cheap phone that has wifi and nice screen this is your choice. what i really hate about this phone is that it does not have 3G that means that when im not near by a wifi point of acces i have to use the damn slow EDGE.
