E-gads. Me too! It was a great looking phone at a great price that promised the stars and delivered - not much at all.
The OS is slow as molasses, third party app prices are sky high, no multi-tasking. Sure it syncs with Outlook but the user experience is just terrrible all the way around. Proprietary everything. No "Today" like screen. Built-in MP3 player sucked. Proprietary everything (opps, said that but it bears repeating).
I tried calling them to get a bluetooth stereo headphones they had advertised on their European website and they could tell me is not to buy it since they couldn't guarantee it would work. The headphones were advertised for the E61 which IS THE SAME PHONE 'cept without WiFI. And NO ONE would gaurantee it would work with my phone. I said can't somebody from Nokia USA call Nokia UK and answer my question, they're response was "No, we are not allowed to do that."
I wonder if AT&T will spread some iPhone love to those of us who want to ditch this phone and get a Windows Mobile? Maybe they will be so drunk from all the money rolling in from the Apple/Mac zealots lining up to pay an arm and a leg for the iphone and the requisite plans that they will let a few of us loyal customers get a phone they would want?
“The general size and shape certainly calls forth memories of the Centro, but while the previous version was chunky and playful, the Pixi comes off more like its distant cousin... from the year 3000.”

Probably not.
