This has quite possibly been the most anticipated phone - Nokia have finally arrived on the scene with a Next G handset :D And even better, one arrived on my desk this morning.

It's a S60 phone... so it has that "active desktop" type feel to the main screen (with shortcuts across the top). I guess that's a tried and tested OS, and it's one that I don't mind. the S60 platform opened up the Nokia quite a bit, and there's plenty of third-party apps out there for S60 phones.

It's look and feel is quite awesome. It's very narrow, and has a huge screen. The feel of it in your hand is great, and it's not too heavy.

It's one of the first Nokia's I've seen to come with a data cable in the box (Nokia a notorious for never including data cables in the box - despite every other handset manufacturer including them for the past several years at least). It is enabled for 3.6 Mbps HSDPA data as well. So that combined with the data cable in the box means it will work rather sweetly as a tethered modem - something I will be testing out this arvo :)

An exciting Friday!

edit: thanks to some Googling and know-how, I have managed to set my work email up on this little beauty via Dataviz. :D
