I've played with the phone and tinkered with its Symbian Belle OS a bit and off hand, I think it's a great handset. The design is attractive (similar to fashionista phone, Nokia C7), the build is durable and the UI is easy to navigate.

I particularly love Symbian Belle's drop-down status bar where the user can easy switch Wifi, Bluetooth and Mobile Data on and off with one touch.
