    It feels like it was cutted in the middle of the comment at the ending… Although a great episode. Now I’m waiting for a full review :)

    I think the Nokia mafia cut the video in the end when Rita said that she hates the button of the e66. :D

    Could you dig a bit deeper in that particular button? The e65 has great typepad too, but the buttons on the side suck really hard. So i guess it´s not the problem of the handset you have there but still a problem in general.

    By the way Ricky, you look quite female in this episode… Anything to worry about? ;)

    @rodak69 and @none of your business,

    Yes the video was cut at the end and this is not due to some conspiracy theory from Nokia (although the blame can be traced back to them) but to technical difficulty: my N95′s battery went dead (why is the battery capacity this small, why oh why?!) and I didn’t notice that until I finished talking, hehe.

    And yes that particular volume up button sucks, I don’t know if it’s on this particular handset that I have or an overall default (though I hope it’s not the latter). I can’t seem to find any decent way/angle/position to press it. Still, the rest of the buttons and the keypad totally rock!

    Thnanks for talking about the ‘crappy’ fingerprint magnet metal surface, finally !
    I hope someone at Nokia will take note about this issue: sometimes some things make you think “did anyone use or even touch these kind of materials before letting it into the market ?”. Brushed metal people, brushed metal…

    Anyway, thanks for the short video hands-on Miss :)

    An quite exciting episode of the driving with the guru.
    It starts very fresh with good reviews on the two bluetooth headsets, stating that one is cheaper than the other.

    Then it gets more exciting with the review of the E66 and I think it was very good mentioning the fingerprint magnet on the materials used in the this particular handset.

    The excitement builds up when talking about the buttons and suddenly the episode is over.

    Looking through this episode was like reading a novel. On action start, building tension and then an unexcepted turnaround ending.

    (Meant as a positive comment on the little “accident” you had there with the N95).

    Anyway looking forward for the review of the headsets and more handon review of the E66.
