"phone's ability to speak the name of the person calling you, so long as their name is in the phone book. We found that quite handy after a while"
I guess that means using "humorous" nicknames in your phone book is something you'll need to be careful about!
This looks like a RAZR without the god-aweful iTap predictive text... If it does T9 then I'm sold. Hopefully the build quality will improve, perhaps it might be better to wait for v0.1!
I have had my N76 about 3 months, and all the "chrome" plastic has now lost its coating, leaving dull white plastic and a peeling mess of remnants. Never had this problem with my previous N73.
At least the Series 60 UI is now finally REALLY quick, even with 300 SMSes in one folder.
Have owned my Red N76 for about three months and the paint work down the left and right hand side of the keypad has strated to peel off. The chrome around the flash has come off and the keypad is showing signs of wear.
This is not a good sign for the future.
Pretty peeved to be honest as I bought this off contract. It wasn't cheap!!
I had mine months too. Yes the chrome does peel - very annoying. There has been an update to v2.x for a while now that will give the Stereo Bluetooth profile so "...does not support the A2DP profile needed for wireless headphones.." does not really apply now.
...in the UK at least. So speak to the Nokia Careline, get them to email you confirmation that its covered under warranty, then send it back to Nokia or take it to your local Nokia Repair Centre.

don't forget, the pencil key is also the access point to the well hidden bounty of copy and paste.

If this is a RAZR with a decent text input system and UI response, it's my next upgrade without question.
