While not attemptin to blindly defend, it should be noted that the slowness in menu and photo capture that you mention has been addressed in future devices. The N76, E90, N81, and new N95 versions (both 8GB and US 3G) have 40MB+ of free RAM to the user, which I can attest contributes greatly to the speed of, well, everything.

The UI can’t be argued, but I have to ask, is Nokia’s S60 really intended for the same market the iPhone’s UI is?

You’re not alone . . . You have actually summed up quite comprehensively how I’ve felt over the last few weeks. I know just even the mention the iPhone is going to enrage some readers, but I do think that the iPhone is having quite a profound effect on the market. It’s shifting expectations wildly, to the point where almost all other gadgets feel clunky and poorly finished in comparison.

Have faith though Ewan, think back to Nokia’s (published) reaction to the iPhone announcement, if memory serves me correctly, they were the only manufacturer that said that Apple’s entry into the phone market was a good thing, as if would force them to rethink things. I believe Nokia have what it takes to hold their own against Apple – but they may take a year or two to get back up to speed. Exciting times!

I have not used Nokia since forever. Try Sonyericsson, you won’t go back.

ewan,

whatever you’re feeling for nokia right now has nothing to do with your new 40d.
if you needed to do some ironing would you use a washing machine?
if you want to do photography you have to use a camera! a real one! like your 40d! not a phone!

you’re about to discover a whole new world. enjoy it!

oh, and if you need to send an sms try not to press menu->format->ok on the 40d…
