well miss from what?
I mean the phone is beautiful, but it is very sensitive to scratches (the brushed metal part)
I guess it doesn't matter since I can change the cover myself in the future (i hope)
I like the slider, but I also wish that it was better quality, it feels like it'd slide open if I put it in my pocket.
The curse of having a nice looking phone is that you have to take care of it, and the slightest scratch can make it look crap.
I dont like the chrome dial, mainly because of fingerprints. I personally also like buttons that click.
Hmmm, lets see ... i HATE the way sim cards are put in, they're with this wierd latch thing that you have to break a nail to open.
I guess that~~ no wait, the side camera button seems to be useless, but it's advantage is that if you use that to take a picture it makes sure your fingers are not in the way, whats stupid is that it only works in photo not video mode.
I guess thats about it at the end of the day.

i'm told it's because there are two reasons.
(size) so it'll save a bit of space, and efficiency. I guess it's more efficient at charging.

yeah I got my N70 unlocked.
Just called voda, but my store in China town does it too now.
Just received confirmation of this.
It's called Abbey Mobile 
(is actually a partnership between Fluid Mobile and Abbey Mobile)

why?
It's just on the case, the engraving isn't that visible and I hardly notice it on the back.
Plus I can change the cover at any time.
As for the phone itself. A quick theme change, and reset, and your free.
I mean, they didn't LOCK the web, mms, etc.. as they do with other phones.
Actually, they DID lock their settings so that you cant delete it, so I just made a new setting profile and set that to default.
So at the end of the day nothing on the screen shows as voda.
Oh they didn't lock the Email settings, which was strange, just a quick name change and the Vodamail is now Uni Email

the keypad is quite small.
You 'think' that you might be pushing another button, but it's quite intuitive.
The best keypad to me so far is the 6630's because the keys were nice, the 5 way pad was smooth and rocked nicely, the problem with the new nokias is that to me it has two useless buttons.
The new 'media key' and that pencil key.
I never use any of those.
I'd have preferred it if they made the keypad bigger, and move the call and hang up to the sides.
Oh well, can't have anything.

its strange because I did reply to this.
Anyway,
the cam button is a bit useless because its so low and you can't use the cam sideways.
But I guess a firmware update will do that.
There is the contact picture bug as well where the picture is on top of the letter c.
