THICK! Due to the built-in high quality speakers.
No Multi-Touch. Due to different technology being used.
Tactile feedback is something innovative and I kinda like it. Beats touching on a normal screen.
VERY RESPONSIVE. Even though it is just a prototype that I am playing with, it is more responsive than the Apple iPhone and definitely much more than the Samsung Omnia.
Love the "One-click Media Bar" that can be accessed by pressing the button on top of the screen (NOT phone)
The main screen will allow you to add 4 favorite contacts where you can see your history calls, SMSes, etc to him. Think of it as Facebook friend feeds.
I love the multiple inputs that this device can handle ranging from T9 keypad to full QWERTY.
3 buttons at the bottom, Call, Menu and End Call respectively.
I love the sales package, lots of stuffs inside there especially the cool "Stylus Plectrum in Wrist Strip" and the nice looking "Carrying Case"
The buttons are generally big and easy to press on, accidental press on other buttons have not happen to me yet.
I would love to see how Nokia can evolve their touch technology next year. Perhaps a new Tseries?
Symbian S60 OS 5.0 is used, 4.0 is skipped because Chinese believed that 4 is an unlucky number. S40 OS and S60 OS 3.2 will still be maintained.
Applications and games built for S60 3.2 is backward compatible on the S60 OS 5.0 although it may not be optimal because of the screen size.

definitely, having using WM for a while, Symbian is much better and faster
yep, it's faster. but for example, the calendar and task entry, WM can enter more data like add large notes to the task and calendar, etc. S60 have? without buying any additonal app?
sorry if OT, but if can replace my PPC and can have some entertainment, it would be nice
