+ Camera: as described elsewhere extensively, the best smartphone camera, by a wide margin. Better than my compact camera Panasonic DMC-TZ5, I soon can sell well. And very intuitive to use
+ Rich Recording: Video records with outstanding sound. Finally, I can record concerts unobtrusive and spontaneous! Finally, I can sample music spontaneously movies (am amateur musicians). I can finally funny dialogues, funny party atmosphere, etc., etc.. Record without prior planning, without being noticed. The video function is much better than in my compact camera. What still matters worse: the digital zoom is, as opposed to an optical zoom, completely silent
+ Gespeichterte Maps at no additional cost: psychologically very important: to navigate when traveling, without having to think about the online cost! Even though it is only about a few euros per day!
Great to be able to hear, without cables and independent of the installed equipment in the vehicle his music: + MP3 via FM
+ Speaker: significantly better than the iPhone
+ Display: deep colors, beautiful graphics, clear structures with Nokia Belle, so I as a 51-year-old do not need reading glasses to use the phone.
+ Integration / synchronization: via Exchange ActiveSync are always synchronized my contacts and my calendar entries from Google Calendar and Gmail. Works great, without stress, while I place myself with such things often stupid to
+ Online: The built-in browser is very critical; I immediately downloaded Opera Mobile and can not complain
+ Processing: All the best
+ Can be upgraded with memory cards: that's much better than Apple, right?
+ Interchangeable Battery: well that's reassuring
+ Operation: a good toggle key to lock and unlock is in everyday life much better than shortcuts. A key as a shortcut to the camera makes life easier also. Symbian's overall well understood; I have no problems. The turning on and off the Wi-Fi access is quick and easy
The downsides:
- The virtual keyboard is an impertinence: the keys are small and poorly designed. The preemptive word recognition is primitive. Hello Nokia, must it be such basics so weak? I almost did this because only awarded four stars!
- Other negative fall told me honestly, after a few days of enthusiastic use, not one. I'll possibly add in a few days this review. Oh: Skype, there is probably not for this phone and is only installable tricks. Do I try soon
Addendum 20.8.2012: I thought Nokia would be a global player and was looking forward, navigate with the Navtec offline maps around the world and to be able to orient myself. Not at all! There are, for example, for Japan (and because I wanted to go soon) no cards, so no navigation. This is really very bad. One can get for each iPad free offline maps, and indeed the world; Nokia should be ashamed times.
Addendum 27.8.2012:'ve tried extensively today the navigation. Works great: with GPS is very fast connected; got the phone upright deep in the center console of my car and still remains the GPS connection; the route guidance is very pleasant; the screen is clear and pleasant to look at while driving.
