Got mine a few days ago.
I didn't expect much from this phone.
I thought it'd just be a hybrid of my two previous phones- the P1 & the Xperia X1... and I was right.
It had the physical attributes of the P1, with the UI & OS of the X1.
Comparing it to the P1...
This phone lacks the expansion slot for a memory card, it does not have a video call capability, and the games bundled with it suck.
Except for the UI & panels, I still prefer the symbian OS over the Windows Mobile 6.5.3.
And vs the Xperia X1...
This is definitely faster... thanks to the windows v6.5.3.
But clearly, the X1 is a more advanced phone in terms of features and specs.
I also miss the bigger screen.
What I like about this phone:
- the QWERTY keypad. Makes typing a lot easier. Unlike the X1, there's no need to flip the phone and wait for a few seconds before the screen rotates.
- Panels. I like the phone's ability to customize the home page according to the owner's preference.
- Office Mobile. This is a business phone.
- Price. Compared to the other smartphones, I think the Aspen is relatively cheaper.
Now I'm really missing my P1.
And the camera? Give us your feedback!
Thanks

Well a replacement phone came. The camera was fine. I just couldn't get on with windows mobile. More frustrating than my Satio. So I sold it to my better half and bought an iPhone 4. I'd resisted for long enough. Oh and got £152 trade-in on the Satio too.
I wish I didn't like the iPhone so much, but it does what I want it to. I can live without customisable SMS tones and with having to buy apps from Apple.

I bought the Aspen some weeks ago with I hight hopes to use it for SMS, connecting a computer to internet as well as stand alone surfing on the run.
Sadly the Microsoft WM6.5 is to limiting. It's OK to do anything any dumb phone can do, but thats all.
Have put the Aspen in the a drawer and waiting for a ZTE Light tablet as replacement. the WM6.5 is as much of a let down as the WM6.1.

Actually interesting to know what you mean?
WM is the most capable platform still.

@doministry
It's not some big fault, but too many small flaws that makes the Aspen/WM6.5 as useless for me as Omnia/6.1.
Which makes the Aspen almost useless for me. If the Aspen was running Android or the same proprietary firmware like Hazel/Elm (having one Hazel now, that I love). The Aspen would have been really useful.
"That the WM is the most capable platform still" Is your saying not my experience.
Have been using WM6.1 and now 6.5 enough is enough. A ZTE Light is ordered and the Aspen is already back in the box, solely because the Windows Mobiles all flaws.
I am aware that different persons have different taste. I can live with doministry hailing MS Windows Mobile. Can doministry live me just having contempt for Windows Mobile?

Sure! I was just curious and eventually wanted to help. Because WM is very capable.
