The editors didn't like
Drab interface
Temperamental camera
Touchscreen not as sensitive as rivals
Qwerty a bit spongy
Expensive
Poor keyboard
Clunky interface
Unpredictable OS
Lack of video codec support
Chunky design
Underpowered processor
Sometimes sluggish when browsing the web and awkward when navigating around the interface
Large and heavy
Temperamental web browser
And sometimes needs double taps to activate selection.
Ovi Store is only potential at the moment
Video could be better
The touchscreen is less responsive than we’d like
And worse than rivals.
Big and bulky
Pricey
Sluggish processor
Not too much here

Thickness
Ovi Store still limited
System is sometimes slow
Bland user interface not the easiest to use
Unimpressive-looking display
Resistive touchscreen
Still some bugs
No multitouch
Poor battery life
Clunky and outdated Symbian operating system
Slightly odd QWERTY keyboard
Touch user interface isnt well integrated and can be inconsistent and confusing
