Depends on what you need. It's a very nice phone, and other than wishing it had 3G capability, I could find very little not to like about it. I used one for a short while before giving it to a friend (got it free and am still using an 8525), and I really enjoyed using it. I'm a bit used to Windows Mobile, but I didn't find the Symbian OS to be difficult to use at all. Nokia's sync software does a nice job, and the Nokia web browser is VERY nice. In fact, I'd give it the slight nod over Opera Mobile for WM devices. Try it for a while and see how you like it.
