Put simply, this phone is amazing. The design is top notch, the display is gorgeous, especially coming from a standard LCD. Windows Phone 7 is a really nice operating system that suffers from a lack of top tier apps that the other platform has, though hopefully that will change with Nokia going all in on the ecosystem. The phone is fast, fluid, smooth, and a joy to use. The specialized Nokia software: Nokia Drive, Maps, Creative Suite, Transit are all top notch high quality apps. Nokia Drive in particular is a really good appplication thats easy to use, smooth, and allows you to download any map in the world to the phone for offline use. The camera takes excellent pictures and the forward facing camera is a 1 megapixel shooter, better than most VGA FF cameras such as on the iphone or ipad. Overall, other than the limited app selection which is becoming less and less of an issue every day with the ever growing marketplace, you will not regret your decision to purchase this phone.
