This phone has been available here in Australia for the last two weeks. Virgin are doing this free on a $30 cap with $140 included service. We are selling it for $500 outright if you take a $50 cap with $500 service for one month.

And QVGA to boot!

Same here in Scandinavia. This phone has been available (at least in Denmark) for a while. Featurewise this phone is great. However, the build quality is very poor. Total low quality plastic! I was very dissapointed.

This phone was ment to be cheap 5mp, AGPS, TV-out phone, but build quality even then should have been better than it is now.
I'll take E series build quality over N series thank you.

It looks pretty and all, but I don't think I could stand typing on those recessed keys at the bottom that seem to have an edge. Plus the Clear and very often used Menu key (or whatever it's called; used to go to the main menu, standby screen or running applications) and too small and flush with the keys around them. Nice, just not practical.
Now, my guess as to why this is not an Nseries device is twofold. One, because, even though it's still expensive, it's cheaper than any Nseries device out there, from what I remember. Two, because you already have a candybar in the series.

It's pretty clear why this is not in N series. First this is missing something that evert N series phones need to have, WiFi and screen 2.2inch that currently has to be 2.4 or more.
So they sell this cheaper than many other phones with this feature set (if there's any phone with this price and has AGPS, Tv out, 5mp, Xenon and so on)and this is just the normal first month after the price goes rapidly down like always with these Nokia's.
It looks much more of normal phone than N series devices. Not really liking the N series design currently so i dunno if that's bad or a good thing ;)
Why they just can't make phone with E series design, build quality and N series feature set? =((

Been wanting to replace my N76 with something for a while. I get my PDA needs from my secondary phone (A sprint Mogul.. for now.. piece of crap), so for my primary phone, I care about calling, texting, and small form factor the most. This phone seems like it'd be nice and easy to use and has some good functionality.
Cons - I agree it lacks a bit on the style department. I'd personally prefer a flip or slider of some sort.
I'll keep an eye on this. If this or any upcoming Nokia is compatible with T-mobile's upcoming 3G bands, I'll probably be sold.
