I think I'm going to buy the SX1..... Anyone who has some experiences with it? Does opera work on it, and is its video limited to 9 secs?

I have great experiences with. It's a superb phone, only the battery should've been better. Opera works, but you could also use NetFront. The standard video app can record 1 minute with sound and unlimited without. ETI Camcorder doesn't work that great on FW07, but it does on the new firmwares. Philips Camcoder Pro is another option.

Same as texting on a 3650. Btw, remember that no mmc case is provided with the box.

Is the menu fast, and can you install applications directly from your pc to the mmc with the data cable? How's the display? Thanks!

You can install apps directly on your phone or MMC from the pc, with the USB cable. I prefer to copy the SIS to the MMC and install it from there. The screen is not as bright as the 6600 but still very good, also under direct sunlight. The menu looks great (soooo much better than on the Nokia's with their 2d icons) and is (with FW10) I guess the fastest of all Symbian phones. Textinput is something you got to get used to. I've you type alot on your phone, it should be as fast as with a regular keypad. For some apps/games the keypad is even better in use than for instance the 6600's.

There is no MMC included, cause that would make the phone expensive. A 32MB card is nice for the first 2 weeks, but you'll be getting 128 or 256MB anyways and that would make the 32MB card obsolete. Thrown away money. The SX1 also has a USB cable and stereo headset included (which also functions as the antenna of the radio), which other Symbian phone don't.
