I really want this phone. I have a Nokia Xpress Music 5310, but it’s acting up after two years. I was going to get a G1, but it’s too big and I liked the Nokia phones. After I saw this I was amazed! I heard the price is about $280 or somewhere in the $200 range. Just can’t wait til it’s in the U.S. It’s in Europe now.
