What's Hot

Symbian OS, excellent keypad and controls, decent features list, 3.5mm headphone jack

What's Not

Touch-sensitive scroll wheel not responsive enough, slider doesn't feel solid enough, hands-free headset is proprietary, low-quality camera

The Final Word

The i450 is solid but not outstanding. The touch-sensitive scroll wheel has the potential to become an excellent control method, but currently isn't responsive enough.
