It's my first slider phone so I'm still getting used to it.
coming from an older 6230 I found the screen / sound to be a big improvement. Also I don't suffer the dropped calls / call time limit / network busy / network unavailable/ (and my personal favourite) sms could not be sent, crap that I had before with the 6230, so that's a plus.
the phone is a delight to use, the design, the look is neat & attractive. although the screen shows up finger prints to easily but that's cause it's a tft screen with a black background (so I'm told). the camera / video is very good compared to the 6230, also has a zoom function
the gps is simply awesome, but then I like electronic gadgets

I have my work route programed in and this morning it decided to route me on the N7 / N1 instead of the usual Plattekloof / N1 route? then I realised that i had set the "As fast as possible" setting, and it must have recalculated the route taking into account the reduced traffic on the N7 / N1 route, interesting?
it uses a std usb cable (supplied this time) which makes loading stuff a breeze. it can read pdf / all MS documents. the usual fax / email / web etc.
no doubt I will discover more intersting functions as I get used to it
all in all very happy with it

specialy now that it works in my car and I don't have to fork out more clams to upgrade that side of the equation.
