Got one
Good points: Screen, voice activation, keypad, video calling, good call quality, looks great
Bad points: Hangs, freezes, slow and battery life is nothing short of shocking. (charge it everyday)
But i love it

w810 is the best for batt life 
Mines does 5days easy had as much as 7 but in fairness i didnt use it that much.
Robbo, go to setting> display> brightness> set it lower and tyour battlife will increase!

Most people enquire about a phone before they've bought it.

I have one.
Good phones, but have a tendancy to freeze and restart themselves, and as said the battery life is terrible
I'd advice you to update the firmware as soon as you get it as you might lose some info if you do it later (can be done via data cable and Nokia Suite), updating firmware seems to of made mine faster than it was before.

Someone at work has an N80, he says it takes a minute to send a text message (after you've pressed Send).
I just got the N73 X-Series on 3. Seems pretty good so far.

That could be one of the softare faults, might need updating
The X-series stuff is really good, did you get one of the X-series add ons?

yeah thats a software fault thast common on symbian phones, just format the phone by pressing *#7370# (but you will loose anything on the phone memory (so copy everything to memory card or your numbers to the sim card and then do it , it will fix the sms fault and the phone should be quicker all round.
