I was a big fan of Nokia for a long time, but I feel like they just don't get it any more, that phone looks incredibly awkward and frustrating to use. There is little to no visual feedback when you interact with it, it seems slow, the menu system looks terrible, the screen is too small and despite all that it's thick as hell.
And let's not forget that it's running Symbian, quite possibly the worst embedded OS I've ever had the misfortune to use (not counting Windows Mobile). Symbian is just a bad operating system, the menus are confusing and hard to navigate, it's fairly unstable for an embedded OS and it just feels terrible to use.
Nokia, wake up. You can't just keep shoehorning new phones with new hardware onto the clusterfuck that is Symbian OS and expect to succeed, especially with the iPhone and Android phones on the market now.
There's more to PC games than computer towers and input devices... Enter the CM Storm Sirus, the outfit's first foray into the world of gaming headsets.

Thick as hell? It's 14.5mm.
The G1 and X1 are 17mm, and the N96 is 18mm.
Not to mention this is noticeably less wide than most models.
So how is this a brick?
