Unusually complicated

Is it me or is this phone ridiculously complex. I just got a new N80 today. I am pretty tech savvy but this phone boggles my mind. Just to find call records is a pain. And where the I phone is good to go as far as wifi is concerned out of the box, you need a damn degree to figure this one out...which i still have not gotten to work. Should I retunr it today or join the suffering masses???

I had the same experiences when I first got mine(and I have a degree), as it was my first symbian phone. The more I use it , the more I understand. Give it time, it's not a bad phone. Actually, I am practicing very hard on it to learn more about this Symbian system as I have my eyes on the N95 US ED.
Patience is a virtue.

I used to like the N80 a lot, though the speed of the user interface is terribly slow. Very frustrating - wish Nokia would take a few hints from Sony Ericsson, though my guess is that every single aspect of both phones are already patented.

I had this phone in the winter, but i sold it, now i regret and considering buying a new one.. Should I go for it?

Yes. Youve asked enough times now so you may as well... worse case scenario... you get it, then sell it. 😉
