I'll buy it if Nokia ractify the "3 second syndrom"

Apperently the phone will hang for 3 second after sliding, then only you can hear/speak.

Testing one out now. So far, complaints is..it has a 4 to 5 second lag after taking shots although pic quality is good enough..and de zoom is not very clear..the led flash is very bright which is good. the rest see first..need to test dulu

Updated to 4.81 couple days back, still finding the differences from the previous FW. So far:

- speaker more solid, loud & clear (music player & hands free)
- seems to be faster & less lag. On the previous FW, 2GB memory card seems slow
- previously, the front buttons less responsive & sometimes have to press few times. Now, seems OK.
- not sure 3sec lag to answer when slide still there, kinda get used to the lag
- camera less grainy when zoom in but still grainy.

the keypad look like crap, obvious scratches from sliding. You have to put ur thumb on the screen to slide up/down. Using the rubber under the screen, u can hear the slide scratching the keypad. ouch

camera performance: abit slow to display after snap. When u zoom in, image becomes grainy esp at night. It all depends on the sensor. Enough ambient light, clear pictures. Less, grainy pictures. In all, good lighting & angle & steady hands = shockingly great pictures

Its a great phone for minimalist and oh the steel body becomes really hot after long usage but still its a head turner lah.
