All Nokia smartphones have FlashPlayer, since the N95 they have FlashLite3.1 support so they can play the majority of flash content on most sites if not all.

Main disadvantages:
No 3G support
No built-in GPS receiver
Display has poor sunlight legibility
Default font size is a bit small due to the smaller screen
Somewhat limited 3rd party software availability
Average camera image quality
Video recording quality is unimpressive
Doesn't charge off its microUSB port
No smart dialing
No DivX/XviD video support out of the box
Shaky back cover compromises build quality
No TV-out functionality

ive read this in a phone review site,
how true is the shaky back cover?
how about limited 3rd party?

thanks

You cant really complain about this phone it has more features & better quality too for the price than any other phone so far. The battery cover yes it wobbles on the bottom bit a little but its not that bad & it stays on at least. As for apps I dont know I have yet to bother & the camera though not the best there is the pics look so clear on its screen & there are lots of settings to play with. Video again is good for the price but it is heavily compressed so there is some noise. Never mind I just love playing with this phone & its the first phone I have had with such a sharp screen. Mostly have had screens not above QVGA but when I wake in the morning & see that screen it wakes me up In sunlight you can see it fairly well its not as bad as some aI have seen
Phone?? What phone??

I gave this phone a test - shame Nokia left the keypad slider button loose so it rattles

this phone rocks.

back cover problem isn't an issue with mine. Try to swap the battery and back cover from the red to blue vice versa, check if it wobbles, if not, thats it. lol

battery life, i spend 3 hrs unli calling. 2hrs wifi browsing. 30mins playing games, the rest i spend txting, taking pics etc and standby. it takes 24hrs, then charge. lol
