As an S60 user though I have always thought it was such a shame that Apple pointlessly ditched all those other features like J2ME, Flash, proper bluetooth, proper GPS/sat nav, multitasking, copy and paste etc. All those COULD easily have been integrated and not in any way negatively impacted the multitudes of normobs. And the camera really is an atrocity. It really, really is. No argument. I for one hate lots of gadgets - I want everything in one package. My Nokia N82 gives me a superb camera and video camera (yes - by standalone standards), as well as everything else, in one neat little package. For me, this outweighs the lovely iPhone UI.<br><br>It's just a big shame that Apple couldn't have seen fit to give us both - I would gladly have ditched my Nokia. As it is, my Nokia completely wipes the floor with the iPhone in all the areas I have mentioned.<br><br>And also - just a small dose of reality - 0.1% of phones in the world are iPhones. Lets not forget the literally 99.9% of other phone users in the world, eh? :) Yeah, can't fault the iPhone's user experience, it really is fantastic.
