With high-speed connectivity, a 5-mega-pixel camera with ubiquitous Carl Zeiss lens and DVD-quality film capability - we were expecting something clunkier than the super-light, super-sleek black beauty that slid so neatly into our pockets.
Two-way sliding, sensitive horizontal flip screen and specific zoom and gaming keys make this the most user-friendly Nokia interface we’ve come across to date.
Our favourite feature however is without a doubt the integrated GPS facility, which at the touch of the button allows us to navigate our way seamlessly around the globe (and, perhaps more importantly, the Zona Tortona).
