Opinion:
Definitely my best choice of Nokia so far as a buisness phone.Meets all my needs and the phone does not have any software gitches.6 months on no hangs or lags.Unfortunately seems delicate and prone to damage.The camera just added for the sake of it. I know its a buisness fone Nokia could do better.
