Activesync doesn't support folders. Doesn't support syncing with my carkit, doesn't show signal/battery on my carkit (even my TyTN can do that). The browser is crap (just entering a URL is a 10 step project). I always thought the Windows Mobile browser sucked, but this thing takes 30 seconds even before anything starts loading... The UI has no consistency to it.

That said; form factor is decent, the screen is nice and RF could be worse. But I really can't understand why everyone goes gaga over this thing.

I'll give it a few more days, but I can't say I'm impressed at all.
Can't argue on the 3rd party issue. What pisses me off is that there's SO MUCH Symbian stuff out there, yet Nokia have driven away most of the community with their app signature issues. The rest? Spoken like a man who doesn't do much voice. *DUCKING*
