First, my phone seems to support numeric shortcuts for the phone fuctions menu. Even though no number is displayed at the bottom of the screen (as for the settings menu), pressing numbers works on my phone. The problem is that the shortcuts only work up to 8 (Dictaphone). Could this be new fuctionality being worked on for the next firmware upgrade (mine is 3.2.0)?
Second I have not noticed major RF performance issues with my phone compared to Nokia 8850 and 3110. Mind you, I'm on a 900Mhz network. Shortcomings I've noticed on the address book, the use of a single field for name (not separated in first and last). This requires some manipulation when syncing from S40 to Outlook. Also, company would be a very useful field. On the Calendar side, I've noticed that full day events (from 0:00 to 23:59) get triggered one day too soon! I'm still testing this but has anyone experienced the same thing?
Beside that seems to be an excellent phone and one of the best to feel in you hand (size, shape & construction).
