    Rogers is Canadian

    Rogers is a Canadian company. US users still can't get this phone through a carrier.

    Compromises between

    features and size can't be helped. I suppose that's why we have choices on what handset to buy. So many people are crying about lack of true GPS and desire of 3G and then cry if their batteries run down too quickly. I don't know if Nokia uses that extra thickness to give better battery life or not but it is a possibility. Except for the extra memory slot, this Nokia practically has everything that people could possibly want in a smartphone.
