Design

The device is quite similar in design to the predecessor Nokia N82, which had been launched a few years back; but it has got a few changes, like this one is lighter in weight than the previous one. The dimension is 4.4” x 1.9” x 0.6” and weighs only 3.6 Oz or 101.8 g with 2.4” TFT screen. The device is available in three different colors- pearl white, cocoa brown, and blue lagoon, each having its own glam quotient. The device is small and can be easily fitted in your pant pocket. One more feature is the screen resolution, which is as high as 320X 240, with 16 million colors. The screen orientation changes from portrait to landscape whenever you switch on the camera to provide a better and bigger viewing area. The scroll or the navigation toggle is also touch sensitive. You can use your thumb over it in a clockwise or anti-clockwise motion to toggle around the menu. The alphanumeric keypad is just an arrangement of four straight lines, rather than the individual keys. The keypad has to be handled over delicately for avoiding the unwanted errors.

Bottomline

Overall, this device is one of the best, if the price is not considered in the Symbian block of devices. The company should think of bringing down the prices, to make the product attractive to the consumers.
