Been using the phone a few days now and starting to build my likes and dont likes.

Advantages:
Awesome Camera
120fps mode is awesome
Inbuilt Speakers Are Very Loud
Optical Wheel - Could Change The Mobile World, I Love It
Much More Stable Symbian System

Disadvantages:
Massive
Battery Is Slightly Below Average For A 1200
Accelerometer Only Works With Some Things
No Screensavers?
Cant View Image River As Screensaver (see above)
Not Compatible with s60v3fp1

One quick niggle also, every time i exit the camera, it shuts off the image stabilization, something i always want on, anybody else had this?
Also, Connecting to the PC via USB mass storage, sometimes it works, other times it just charges the phone. Not sure why though.
also trying to work out how to customize widgets

Overall even though i have some qualms with the phone, i love it. Its big and impressive and the build quality is very good (i compare it to the LG secret, such a durable phone. and it is built quite well). The camera was surprising after expecting an 8mp with a lens made by a kid in Toys-R-Us and the different features do work well.
The system is so much faster than that of the N95 and the added Micro-SD for storage is awesome, a great help. Multimedia is awesome as well and coming from an N81 i found the phone easy to navigate, one thing though. Why the ability but no TV-out cable?
Nokia 6600 - Nokia N80 - Nokia N81 8gb - Samsung I8510 8gb = Brand Loyalty ftw!

accelerometer lol ; when you turn the screen, some of the menus turn to landscape - interestingly unlike my ole N95 8Gb, not EVERY single screen goes landscape. Weird one, that. ;)

You can turn it on or off - through "auto pivot"

Did anyone else notice the poor reception on the i8510 compaired to the N95 in the picture on page one? :o

This isn't good news for me. I have an N95 at present and sometimes struggle to get a decent reception in my area.
