HK version doesn't use NAM 3g bands right?

I went to check out the phone also, I don't agree that it is too big. I was surprised as in the pictures and video it looks huge. Its a good size for what it is. Although I do have a Bold atm and that is pretty wide. My hands aren't huge though.

Sweet, does the maps/A-GPS feature require a data plan or internet connection to function?

It looks like those electronic translators HK/Korean/Japanese students use in lecture.

Just install uni-code fonts contains Chinese characters on your flash memory and you will be able to see all the Chinese characters in NAM version. No need to flash firmware.

I believe it was +Kardboard+ who told me and I had it installed on my E71 no problem.

So how is the phone?

Build quality - screen, qwerty, the lock key I heard can be wobbly?
How is the emailing and communication wise, compared to BB? Push, ease of use, etc.
Battery life? Reception? Call quality, loudspeaker?

My make or break factor would be the keyboard.

How is the build, how tactile are the keys. Is the spacebar placing THAT hard to get used to?

That hack only works on S60 3rd FP1 devices with a memory card slot. I tried it on an N96 and N85; no workee. Works great on my E71 and E51.
