If Nokia can advise on these it'll be great. Nevertheless its a game changer and a legit iphone killer if one needs to put bets on the table !! What's not: (maybe just on the tested prototype?) • no handwriting recognition • storage memory for installable applications limited to ridiculous 256 MB, all the remaining gigabytes available for documents and data files only • lack of d-pad (it's an Nseries device, so some people would like to play games on it!) • the keyboard is nice, but could be even better (to attract Communicator users) • the display seems to be easily scratchable; screen protector or carrying case are recommended to protect it • lens cover does not scratch the lens (like on the N97) but it does scratch the part of the casing it slides over • since the memory card is hot swappable, why there's no access to it from the outside? • some sort of hardware "Home" button quickly switching to the Desktop would be really useful • no audio equalizer • Nokia, PLEASE, add voice dialing! • no Java support, even just Java MIDP • very limited support for Profiles, only "General" and "Silent", no possibility to create own profiles, no timed Profiles, etc. • the touch display "de-calibrating" from time to time on the tested unit, probably due to early, pre-release firmware. • no MMS support.

No release date other than Q4 at this stage - still, I reckon you may have to save up for this one :) We’re waiting to get some side-on-side photos of it in action next to the N97.
