There may be one drawback with this phone for some, series 60 5th edition.

Coming from past experience with the N95 I was used to the way S60 worked on my 5800 but there have been many complaints from those alien to S60 about the way it works (double tapping to open some things, single tapping on others for example).

I can't say how well S60 5th edition performs now or if Nokia has sorted that behaviour out with updates, it would be nice if they have.

On the iPhone, there are only two things missing from iPhone OS now that I'd love Multitasking and an open application platform. You can't believe how nice it is moving from iPhone to Android now that I don't have to close 3rd party apps to do anything else with it (last.fm streaming/scrobbling being one of the biggest for me).

Once multitasking is sorted iPhone OS will (in my eyes) be the best smartphone OS out there. I doubt Apple will ever change their application approval ways nor will they let 3rd parties have a free reign on the phone (this is what jailbreak is for) but Apple have done so much right with their entry into the smartphone Arena that the other big hitters are still wondering what hit them.

I'll be sticking with Android due to the openness of the platform myself but I look forward to the Symbian OS, Maemo, Windows Mobile, Palm and iPhone OS competition.

It's never been a better time to be into smartphones!
