Also where are the buttons? They should at least be on a slider, one of the best things about the Normal S60 platform is the amount of applications and without buttons, you are breaking a lot of programs to run on this device.

I am sure iphone 2 will not have these many features...... but will have lot more eyecandy and adveftising for sure!
I would hope a phone launching 18 months later does improve things. They have had a lot of time to copy and learn.
But which parts of the spec are the 'killer' bits?
The screen is smaller and it's only slightly smaller but fatter.
So it has a better camera (but still pretty poor by other Nokia phones that offer 5Mp and flash), 3G and GPS.
We know 3G is coming very soon as this has always been on the cards and top US analyst and friend of Steve Jobs has said less than 60 days this week.
Who is to say the new model won't up the camera a bit and have GPS? (personally I think the camera will get a boost, but no GPS)
The fact that the iPhone is so successful is the interface, it's nothing to do with hardware. Nokia have yet to prove they can do a good touch interface, and my fear is it will just be a bolt on to Series 60 like HTC have tried to do with the touch stuff on Windows mobile. Looks nice, but then you hit the underlying operating system it all reverts to normal.
Apple had the luxury of no history to work on, so built everything from the ground up to work properly with touch.
People who hang out here love installing stuff, hacking, using the stylus etc. But your average joe public want easy, smooth and finger friendly. Something Apple have done amazingly well.
