Potentially great but actually fails too often.
There is no way that this phone should receive a four star rating. I have had mine for 18 months now and I cannot wait to have it replaced in another couple of months time. Potentially it is a great phone with its 1.3mp front and rear dual cameras but it just keeps on freezing up and I have to reboot it again and again and again. The most mine has frozen on me is 4 times in 10 minutes which is, as far as I am concerned, dreadful performance. It is not usually that bad, usually I only have to restart it twice a day but that is still twice a day too often. Sometimes, if the phone is locked where you have to input a code to unlock it, the screen just says press unlock then * but once you have done that you then also have to input the lock code - this is not what is supposed to happen. Sometimes, I have to remove the battery to turn it off because the phone has frozen whilst locked and the on/off button does not work either. I have tried upgrading the firmware but mine has always had the most recent firmware already installed - even if I have wiped and reinstalled it, it is still performing badly and crashing. Total rubbish and I am looking forward to the day when I can replace it. When it works as it is meant to it is great but unfortunately it fails far too often and just becomes a nuisance. Not sure if I will get another Nokia.
