To me thats much less freedom of uses than the N900, which is almost 2 years old now.
I agree. To me this is the closest copy of an iPhone by any manufacture.

Not as much in terms of hardware (or lack of it) or even software but in terms of the fundamental idea of what a phone is and used for by the average user.

Apple has unashamedly put more importance on a sleek UI, usability and design than functionality or features. And although I personally never buy an Apple product the fact remains this has worked extremely well for them.

What Nokia have done with this phone is proved that whatever apple can do, Nokia can actually do better with all the advantages of being open.

Now I just hope they don’t just stop here.

LONG LIVE MEEGO
