For me, this definitely isn't a phone with a wow factor nor is it screaming "come and get me". However, it is slowly winning me over with its usability and functions. The camera is first class, music player is easy to use, screen is large and bright, and the battery is really good. It's a big improvement over the already excellent 6230i! If only Vodafone had paid more attention to the aesthetic design of the phone, it would be selling really well. I think Vodafone has shot themselves in the foot this time.. creating an exclusive product that would be perceived as inferior as compared to the 6233. Sigh!

Just tried the 3G streaming, and as much as i don't like the phone, it's excellent for watching Streaming TV on! It's very fast, good picture and sound quality! Having fun watching Big Brother live on it!

Why dont people understand that 3G does NOT require a camera in front. You can still have fast internet, streaming video an make videocalls.. only you cannot look eachother in the eyes (unless using a mirror).

Just cos it's 3g doesnt mean it HAS to have a cam on the front, just means it's capable of receiving streaming video. If you dont like it, don't f***ing buy it!!

I've sent mine back. The 4 buttons at the top are tiny and hard to press (a bit painful actually). Pity cos other then that the phone is fine. I'm waiting til the end of the month for the 6233 to come out.

I'm sure the S/W could be changed, but you'd have to get an approved Nokia engineer to do this to avoid warranty complications.
I forgot to mention, the phone feels really cheap. Well, that's my opinion. I think i'll keep my money til the SE K800i comes out! ;-)

I picked up one of these the other day.i was really suprised. compared to the likes of the n80 with 3mp its not gonna compare but the print quality is awesome!the screen res is superb and the menu system is fantastic.the speaker quality is awesome with the stereo speakers.the only fault that i could think of with is was the lack of a flash,but providing theres enough light the camera is awesome.oh and the vga recording!! eats memory though. one last thing,whats the catch with changing the mem card? i work in a vodafone branch so i constantly find myself playing with any new phone that comes in.i was definatly impressed by it.i think overall the phone will sell really really well.

Well after trying the phone... it's nasty. Typically, Vodafone have ruined the handset by installing their own s/w on it. The picture quality from the 2Mp camera is very good and a very close rival to the SE W810i but lacks the auto-focus. As for the cosmetics, well i prefer the 6233 because the keys are slightly larger, but that's a personal thing.
Unfortunately if you've used a 6111/6280 etc then you'll notice the menu system is exactly the same! Shame really, it could have been a really nice phone.

...also, in response to Marc, 3G IS the name of the technology, not that it is capable of being used on the 'Hutchinson 3' network. Hutchinson 3 are known as H3, the technology, 3G. Over the years there have been 1G handsets, 2G handsets, 2.5G handsets and now 3G handsets. There is still speculation as to whether 3G is worth all the hype considering the lack of take up, however with the release of mobile tv from the networks, the full capability of 3G is now being utilised and should boost sales.
Just wait for 4G whish is currently in development and should allow you to download full films in minutes, effectively making it broadband for your mobile...just as soon as the handsets can store that much info.
Yes I know this sounds very know it all, but someone has to educate!

The official announcement is that it is exclusive to Carphone Warehouse and Vodafone retail stores because it is Vodafone specific. Carphone Warehouse are the exclusive independent retailers (initially).
