It's a "Superbly designed terminal" reports the 3G world newsletter: "First looks don't deceive: the NEC n21i is all that a state-of-the-art multimedia terminal should be."

Sniffer checked on the NEC site. There, packets betrayed the presence of a press release: "Superbly designed terminal" it says, and continues: "First looks don't deceive: the NEC n21i is all that a state-of-the-art multimedia terminal should be."

Yes, alas; this is just the bit of 3G's site which re-runs press releases. Well, at least you get your first look at a picture of the phone at this point: see http://www.3g.co.uk/PR/April2002/N21iMobile1.jpg
