Slide is perfect on my copy, no lag at all! The quality is absolutely nothing wrong except that the navigation button feels a bit cheap to the rest of the phone.
Thanks for the comments. It seems to be quite good quality; build, camera and firmware. So far I have only seen some comment about poor GSM reception, or below average, I have seen some case with that mentioned also for the Elm, but they replaced their phones. Apart from that, nothing.

Poor signal was with first firmware. Fixed in later FW

Nice to hear. I didn't know if there was a new firmware out, but since Elm has been around for some weeks (months) and such updates are more likely in the beginning of the life cycle, it is as expected.
Does anyone know what they mean with "anti-virus" in the Hazel and Elm (as mentioned in the Internet version of the manual and in their phone simulator)? It seems to be an F-Secure logo; I thought they "only" supported Symbian, Windows and Android. Odd.

Anti-virus for Elm/Hazel is only to take your money

What I don't understand is, yes you can buy the Hazel which is new, but the W995 is still much better, with 8MP camera and 3.5mm jack are the two main things W995 has but the Hazel lacks. And you can buy this, now for cheaper then the Hazel.
So I'd say just buy the W995 it's cheap, it's great and it's better then the hazel

Is the w995 really cheaper than the Hazel in Scotland ??
Here ( sweden ), the best price for w995 is 286 euro. My firend got his Hazel today ( also sweden, Mediamarkt ) for 197 euro. @rate 1 euro = 9,6 sek.
And yes, the w995 has got an 8mpix camera but does it perform better then the 5 mpix Hazel ???
Speaking of camera, as far as I know w995 record video in QVGA while Hazel do this in VGA.

As Fredrix said, in many places I think the W995 is more expensive than Hazel, almost 40-50% more here.
I agree with you that there are many similarities; both are slide phones, display size, Wi-Fi, GPS etc. And that the W995 has at least two major features not found on the Hazel, 8.1 MP cam (with image stabilizer) and 3.5 mm audio jack, and some more (stereo speakers).
However, personally I don't think the amount of MPs is the most important thing. There are some other differences as well; the Hazel has got better standby time, capable of more colours on the display, The W995 camera is very nice but I think I saw some pictures were the sky had some more noise than I have seen on similar with the Hazel, but all that depends on quite many things. But the Hazel has some initial problems as well, over-sharpening etc. Finally the Hazel has the new noise cancellation and is HD voice ready.
The W995 is a Walkman but you will find the same player in the Hazel, with very good audio quality. Being a Walkman it looks like one; not all people want a phone that looks like a "toy".
I think the W995 records in WQVGA, and that they look better on the Hazel.

Got both Elm and Hazel yesterday (Elm for my mum and Hazel as a review phone for somebody else, so they are gone again). I don't see much advantages of the Hazel tbh and the phone is much bigger, so I'd suggest everybody to go for the Elm instead. Unless you want the bigger screen, but that's not that important imo.

@ Domipost. Many use their phone as main internet access. For them screensize is important. And for video too.
