I dn't have a say on this phone ... but one of the phones which I happen to believe is the best "ever produced" [ yaa u guys heard me "ever" hitting the market ] is recently arriving "SE W960i".... This phone has got it all .. believe me it's a top-notch phone which is even gonna give iPhone a run for it's money.... SE thought a lot while designing this phone and wht they produced was simply marvel.

Hi, Techtree has been for a long time my first choice on finding authentic reviews on various products. It is quite clear from these kind of reviews that TT has given in to the lure of the green bucks over love of their subscribers. Why would I want to know what Nokia Official had to say what about the phone. Please! This is not a newspaper! This is not a media release! It is a "REVIEW" for speaking out aloud! I will now think twice before turning to TT for any reviews.

You can think more than twice but TT won't put any reviews, they will go ahead with News grabbed from somewhere else!! That's how they work, get used to it or stop visiting the site.

If you really are a regular visitor of this site how could you make such mistake? It was a "NEWS", a "Media Release" indeed and not a review. At least read carefully before you post such comments. You can find reviews in "Reviews" section not in "News" section.

Using this phone for 2 weeks now...cant open with one hand...battery lasts only for a day.. otherwise sound clarity is ok. and pretty much usual feautures what one can expect from latest phones..

yes, the design is somewhat inspired from Razr, or similar in design, but thats a good start from nokia, not a start of copying designs, but design innovations, still the phone has better looks than Razr. since they dont have a multifunctional phone in a slim form factor, rather i havent got this mobile into my hands but i am eager to try this.
