Good Points

* A lot of nice games have been (and are still being) developed for it (Tomb Rider,FIFA2004,FIFA2005...) all of them with great gameplay
* Nice handling in games.
* A lot of applications available (both .SIS for Symbian OS and .JAR for JVM).
* Well light background.
* Very intuitive and easy to learn menu (you need a little practice with 2-hand navigation before you appreciate it at it's fullest).


Bad Points

There are 2 bad points I want to stress:
1. There is a low volume in the headset (the quality is way better if you use the included handsfree).
2. You have limited options if you don't buy a card (MMC; there is none included with the phone) or a bluetooth dongle.


General Comments

* A MMC card or a Bluetooth dongle are the ONLY two ways (beside downloading) of install applications on the phone. Whithout one of them you won't feel the value of the QD;
* I also played (and talked) on a N-Gage (first one) and the handling is much better in this one (especially the fact that you speak normally, unlike in the first one where you kept the phone perpendicularly to the ear);
* The screen is excellent. You could say it has a 16bit color depth;
* Sturdy made. It has a rubber strip surrounding it; useful if you bang your phone a lot;
* Believe it or not it even has a kind of ALT+TAB feature that allows switching between open applications;
* I am now trying to see if it works with a 1GB MMC Card. If it does it is trully the BEST phone I have had up to know.
