[edit] Known issues

It has been frequently reported that fine dust get into the space between the LCD screen and the transparent plastic cover. The dust can be manually removed by opening the plastic case, but in a difficult and risky way.[2]

In common with many phones of this type the battery life is not as much as you would expect on older models of phones. Less than 2 days is typical where as older 'mono screen' phones can often manage a week between recharging.

Also, this is one of the slowest Symbian phones in the market with the average time to take a picture running into nearly 20 seconds when using its 1.3 megapixel resolution. Other issues include sudden screen blackout and slow processing speed when some using software in the phone.
