I kinda see what you were doing with the title

It's About Time!

It's been a long time since T-Mobile and Nokia came together to offer an S60 based device. It's a shame they didn't take the 5800 Xpressmusic and change the WCDMA frequencies to T-Mobile's AWS band.

Compared to the 5800 this has less user memory, less camera, no flash, no on-board stylus. ☹️ T-Mobile makes a significant step forward with the device but it could have been so much better with an AWS capable 5800 XpressMusic.

Oh, and it doesn't have wifi either. Better hope for an awesome 3G signal for your area.

The information available indicates it has FM but that appears to be an FM radio for reception rather than an FM radio for tranmission.
