Pros
====
* The phone is light. I like that I am not hauling a brick, but something so light. It is much lighter than my N95.
* The display is clear. But it is somewhat small. I actually found it easier to use than my N95, though. It’s as if I see more. I guess it’s because I mostly use this phone with the keyboard pulled out, and then I look at it from the side instead of traditional way. The display becomes more like a TV that way
* Full keyboard. Since the phone is quite small, the keyboard isn’t very big. While I am used to qwerty keyboards on computers, and I am fairly fast typer, I felt I had to relearn it on this phone. I am probably too used to the one handed action on normal phone keyboards, so I found myself staring at the keyboard a lot.
* Menus are easy to use. There are three buttons on the cover for internet, menus and messaging, which is quite nice. There is also a soft menu you can modify. That was one of the first things I did, I practically swapped out all items. I also changed the colour scheme, although the yellow one is not bad. In fact, I found most of the themes to be better than what I had for the N95.
* Offline mode is useful when flying. You can still listening to music while not searching for towers.
* Integration with email is pretty good. I am very happy with how I can connect to gmail and get my mail. I haven’t tried any other email servers, but I would believe they would be easy too.
* Configuration of the snooze. My first alarm clock had a snooze of 7 minutes. I found that to be just perfect. Not so long I could fall asleep again, but not so short I couldn’t enjoy the minutes before I HAD to get up. This phone has a default snooze at 15 minutes, but it can be changed to whatever you like. Mine is now set to 7 minutes 
* Macro SD slot under the cover. You have to remove the cover to get the slot visible, but you can extend the memory with this slot. Sweet!
* XM Radio. It has 25 channels ready for you, but you have to subscribe. I quite like the feature, though.
