This is a mini-review posted by al3azim I thought I would repost here for those that haven't seen it yet
"So far the phone seems to be performing very well. Here is a brief review of it so far
Screen: The STN screen is not at all (not a TFT), very clear and pictures looks good in it. The inside screen is great, very clear and bright. There is an option to change the brightness of the screen from very high to lowest, to consume battery power. You can assign different screensaver between the front and inside display but the front one has to be from the preset images, it does not let me assign one from my own content that is different than my inside one.
Keypad: The keypad is well built, feels good when pushing the button and the white LED is very nice. The whole keypad lights up nicely
Speakerphone: I tested that a little (a couple of calls) and it sounds very clear and crisp. It is not as loud as my 7400 but it loud enough to hod a conversation. I have not tried it while driving.
Stereo speakers: In my opinion they are very loud and clear. I have set my ringer volume to 5 which is loud enough for me. The AAC ringers are nice and clear.
Camera: So far the camera seems very good, except it is slower that my 7400. what I mean by that is that after you push the button to take the picture, you have to stay still for a few seconds more to capture the subject, as opposed to my 7400 which was instanteneous. I saved on picture taken at night, in a dark room with only one small light... I think it looks good. I will take some day pictures today to compare. I tried uploading it here but would not let me because of the size. I can email it to someone to upload it
Video: Video holds up to 30s of recording whether on the card on on the phone. It seems to be clear and loud (voice recording)
UI: UI is awesome and nice, just like the 800, 940. It is a little slower that the Sanyo's but it is not that bad. Lots of good options (a800 or 940 users will not see any differences) but coming from a Sanyo, it is a change.
Earpice speaker is very nice and clear. I did not notice noise cancellation
Phone has option to do OTA software update just like the LGs
So far I like the phone a lot and I think I will be keeping it. I have not tested the MP3 player but will do so later today."
