Nokia's iPhone, No Seriously

Several readers have written to tell us that Engadget has a look at Nokia's visions for the future. "It was presented during Nokia's GoPlay event this morning as a glimpse into the future of Nokia interface design. Oh, and it's due out next year. When pressed during the Q&A about the striking similarity to the little Cupertino device, Anssi Vanjoki — Nokia's Executive VP & General Manager of Multimedia — said, 'If there is something good in the world then we copy with pride.' Well, ok then."

Hype

Why are there two iPhone stories right after each other? Haven't we heard enough about the iPhone yet?

Like Apple iPhone

I would say it is like Apple iPhone, very nice features and easy to use but the most difficult thing to use is the telephone feature.

and will version 4.0 of the S60 platform be any more reliable than its predecessors? I've loved owning my N70 that resets itself every so often for no apparent reason. At least the last firmware upgrade I did seemed to mean it didn't happen as often or decide that there wasn't a sim present when it did.

I find Nokia's OS to be slow and shitty. I can't wait to see what placing more on top has done to it :(

Re:could this be the ultimate handheld device

[Arimus]

How about a simple mobile phone which:

1. Starts up instantly or as near as possible.
   
2. Makes phone calls and doesn't bomb out all the time.
   
3. Does not crash/lockup/freeze/reboot if I decide I want to, god forbid, use my phone as a phone.
   
4. Has a decent antenna so reception isn't always crap.
   

Crack those simple features before cramming any junk on to my handset please.

Older mobiles used to be alot more 'robust' both hardware and software than today's 'converged' devices...
