Nokia had a potential good opportunity with this device but overall screwed it up big time.
The screen is very frustrating for previous iPhone users and I would say anybody that is used to a capacitive screen. The size said to be 3.5” is actually quite smaller than the iPhone one. Maybe inches in Finland are not the same as in US. The colors are also just so so. Last but not least the touch behavior is very erroneous: just try to swipe in a list of items (like emails for example) and you will see that you accidentally click without doing it. Soooo frustrating.
The Login screen is just a bad joke compared to the n770 and n800 that I own already. Quite ugly and difficult to key in the code. Wooow such a strong regression compared to the previous models.
Then Gmail integration is just screwed up: this device and OS version is NOT able to handle my inbox with something like 16K messages. That’s a bad joke indeed. The mail application is just freezing without any reason (jezz, I am on a Wifi connection with a BIG bandwidth).
There are no apps or so little like a couple dozen. That’s a joke too. No twitter app, no facebook app just widgets that are plain useless.
The browser could have been nice but the very small size of the screen makes the browsing experience a pain. I am missing big time here the screen estate from my n800. And its time for rendering complex pages is just so so.
The keyboard is so cramped. I have medium size fingers and they do not fit correctly. Keying is such a pain indeed and of course there is no autocompletion into the text fields for helping you. Nice job Nokia.
The GPS takes time to synchronize and the map is just not attractive and not very readable. Yes Nokia, you cannot compete with Google Maps and you should have done a partnership with them to provide the user a better experience.
The phone by itself is just ok and not appealing. It forces you to change from landscape mode to portrait mode and accessing the phone is not really easy when you are dealing with other apps. Woow, even the phone features have been screwed up. Unbelievable.
As a sum up, my 2 hours experience was very bad and I decided to return it without regret.
Nokia has done a very bad job here and it is such a shame for them as I was sold to have such a device. They should better listen to users and more take care of user experience…
I have been waiting for Nokia n900 for a long time. Since this mobile has flash support, it will help to open the websites like last.fm and others which will allow us to listen to latest songs online. And the features are also better than iPhone and others since Nokia supports multitasking. I hope the horizontal mode for most of the applications will not be limited with the firmware upgrade in future.
