So the phone has been with me for about a week now. So perhaps it’s time to take a re-look at the phone.The front works for me, I’m quite sold with the large glossy screen (Nokia I’m still waiting for your full touch screen phone). But one thing perhaps can be done better would be touch sensitive buttons for controls, looking at the current design, the buttons are “cut-up”, making the “clean” front look a little pieced together.The SIM card is only accessible after removing the battery, phone uses a BL-5F 950mAh which lasts about 2 days of standard use (no 3G / video calls). This is the same battery used for the E65, but I feel the battery life is quite limited, perhaps it’s because of the larger LCD.

There is and internal antenna integrated into the back cover of the phone. Started with the N78 with internal antennas on the back cover for their phones I think. Aberrantly this increases the reception for GPS and other wireless services, so no more cheong covers, everyone must use original!

Could not try out the DVB-H, I’m not sure if it requires a data connection thus did not try in case my data costs kill me end of the month. But I think it’s because I do not have a SIM card enabled for such services.
