Hey,
I've borrowed this from work to see how it works from normal use, the first time I held it last week I knew I didnt like it, the build quality is so shoddy, it is really rattley and loose and it just feels totally empty and cheap, Nokia have had a dud with this handset. 3 of our dummies have broken as the spring is easily broken in the slider. If you look from the top the spring system seems to be exactly the same in the phone, so I can imagine lots of these coming back for repair.
Build quality is the sole reason I would not get this phone, however, its features do NEARLY outweigh that con, its got nearly everything on here, 3d games run very well, bluetooth, mp3 player, 2mp camera, good video, miniSD slot, 3G, everything you would expect, and the screen is very sharp and bright, the loudspeaker is pretty impressive too, doesnt distort that much. However the keypad feels again cheap. If you're after a nokia slider I suggest you dont get this one, or just wait for the N80 which I hope to be picking up.
Here are some pics of it (taken with my 903, sorry bout the darkness) (pics up in a min)

I think the best phones coming out would have to be the N80 and the new XDA Mini with 3g and I think HSDPA?
