Awesome phone with some drawbacks

hi i bought this phone some months back. This is an awesome phone, and i really love the model as well as the display. The camera is said to be 5mp but i think it doesnt deliver the clarity photos inside room light and others. But it delivers a high quality pics when taken under sunlight.

One feature i liked the most is FM transmitter. The high quality sound transmitting reallly makes me crazy. but as for as the music player, the sound is not too loud but the clarity is good.

The web browser is satisfactory, doesnt support flash sites.

The major disappointment of this phone is hanging sometimes and sometimes it tends to refresh or may be called as restarts. It restarts frequently... And some times bugging makes the phone imbalanced.

apart from all these, i love the phone and its an amazing one when compared to n96 and n85 8gb.

Pros

Awesome Design
FM transmitter
Picture quality in sunlight

Cons

Rebooting
Bugging problems....

Wish I had checked the discussions website before

I bought my N85 3 months ago. While it packs many potentially great features the build quality is of only the cheapest phones. After 3 months of gentle use, the front panel cover came off. In addition, the headset speaker occasionally stops working and starts working again when you press your ear hard. As if that is not enough, tt keeps rebooting all the time.

Nokia Care Centers claim that they are unaware of any problems but like another user pointed out, go check the nokia discussions at the official Nokia website. I deeply regret that I didn't.

Pros

Appears great. But doesn't work.

Cons

Cheap build that comes apart all by itself
Components poor quality
Software very buggy - reboots several times every hour
Camera claims to take 5 megapixel pictures but compresses them ending up with poor quality pictures - no raw file function
