Looks very chunky.

Features wise everyone knew before it was even announced that it would surpass iphones but in terms of what I need it still doesnt match iphones. The UI seems just bog standard s60 with some obvious extras given its a touch screen. Also it seems kind of narrow so with all the icons on how would you surf vertically?

Also this music service thing will neve take off. Subscription packs for music are not the way forward.

Do anybody know the screen's characteristic will be like the flat and hard one as found in HTC Touch Diamond or like the soft one found in Samsung Omnia. Do you get what I mean?

I really think it looks absolutely dreadful. Still its their 1st effort but they will have to go a long way to get up there with the other Touch devices out there. The UI looks really old-fashioned.

The UI is just bog standard S60 but made for touch screens. It is their first touch screen phone but there is a chasm of difference between this and iphone in terms of looks and usability. It just goes to show how ill prepared Nokia were for iphone.

It looks aesthetically much much better than UIQ. Thats coming from experience, i have used UIQ and its extremely boring to use and it looks old.
