I had a ELF for one year and broke it. I bought a Nike and:

- I'm soo happy !!
- Screen is not wide like on the ELF but only if you compare them. For everyday's use, you don't feel any difference.
- Biggest improvement is... 400MHz processor ! TouchFlo is not lagging anymore, Cube rotation and use is smooth.
- Every lag disappeared like when you use the cube to select a contact, you have to wait for the cube to disappear then the phone application to start. With Nike it's almost perfect.
- Some applications are very usefull :
- Quick menu when you slide up the keyboard
- Switch quickly between sound/vibration pressing red button for more than 1sec
- Big start menu and taskbar magnify function
- Photo album programm

All these improvements are not so important and maybe they don't justify buying the Nike when you have an ELFE but if you have to switch like I did, I really improves everyday's use.

The only bug which is driving me nuts is the abc/xt9 function which is not memorized.. So you have to enable it each time.

The only annoying thing : letters are displayed on the keyboard as on a PC keyboard.. lol.. took me years to be able to type text with a phone keyboard, now I'm lost again (I perfectly know PC keyboards but it doens't really help since size of the keyboard is really not the same)

The only complaint : Pleaaaaaase someone.. activate the WIFI/GPS chip in this mobile. It's here !! I saw it !! How sad it is to have it and not being able to use it :(
