I must say, the touch screen interface look absolutely brilliant.

Instead of having a load of fussy little buttons trying to do 8 things at once, just present a context-based custom keypad in each of the modes.

It will catch on - watch out Nokia.

Nokias biggest problem is they just don't like touch screens, never have and are slow to come around to the fact people like them. Look at the Sony Ericsson P900 series, exactly same OS but UIQ version rather than the Nokianised one.

The Symbian operating system is great and you can set it up similar to the look of the iPhone but I think Apple are going to win the Phone/iPod-MP3 player battle once they get the phone approved and released.
 
Too big, that looks a half as wide agian as my Sony Ericisson K800i and nearly as wide as my PDA. It might have a whizzy interface, but it's hardly pocket sized.
 
Biggest problem they will face is finding a airtime supplier that will take it on for the UK market.

Only quad band no WCDMA/3G

Although the may try and shoehorn the extra ariel in for the euro market

but it does have 4 or 8 GB storage which is probably 3 - 7 times more than your PDA so it makes it a proper mobile business tool as long as MS do a mobile version of Mac Office and Adobe do a Mac mobile PDF reader.

As a navigation device you will be able to upload alot of map data as long as there is an application to use it.

You CAN live without it...buy your wee wives a new kitchen instead:D

Memory no problem, got 3 4gb cards for my PDA, 1 contains entire uk memory map, one for Tom Tom and file storage and the third MP3s. The K800i only has a 2 GB card in as that's the largest microcard Sony do at the moment.

as I said..nothing more than a mobile..it's a gimmick..why dont you run down to DFS before the sale ends buy yourself a sofa:D ...come on mad-obbri...what more do you want. Ive got an ancient mobile phone..it's an antique...it does two amazing things

No1 it rings..if I want to pick up..I answer

No 2..It rings and it's a w*nker..I don't pick up

If I want to use the internet I come home..if I want to order food I phone. If I need to take a picture Ive got a good quality digital camera.

I remember when 'palms' came out..everyone wanted one..it was a glorified diary...who writes in a diary?..NOBODY if they can help it..you have all spent a fortune on yer 3 million gigobyte Ipods and now you want a fancy diary..that in six months will be in the drawer beside yer bed..and you are still wearing yer walkman to work...cos yer favourite Pink Floyd..Darkside of the Moon cassette is still working nicely thank you:D
