How's the built quality ? Is is well built and sturdy or like a cheap crappy Samsung?

What OS does it have loaded? And +1 for the keyboard question. Pulled my 9900 out last night to get a feel for the tool belt again and that keyboard is still the best I have ever used...

It is very well built, doesn't look cheap at all.

It is loaded with 10.3.1.1154 (10.3.1.747 (SR))

The tool belt works quite well too

Can you shut down apps by long press Back button?

Can you Shift select with the trackpad a large number of emails and delete them all at once?

Does the call send key work anywhere to launch the phone dialer and does the call end key immediately and/or automatically minimize the dialer or does the call have to first disconnect and complete the animations and then the dialer stays open?

Long pressing will minimize first, but if you long press again it will shut down the app

Yes the shift works for multiple email selection

The send button opens the call log portion of the dialer and the end button minimizes it.

I have not tested actual calls because I have no sim in it at the moment, it uses a nano sim, hence will have to take my sim from my passport to test it. I will do that later today or tomorrow
