One of the most important things for me would be the ease with which I can find things on maps.. I'm so used to being able to open up google maps, type "pizza (city)" or "window tint" and seeing the options in my area, clicking one and getting directions to there (even if it's not turn-by-turn, coz i'm on a desktop). I fiddled with Nokia Maps on my father's N8 when he was visiting, but we were using it offline so I don't know how it works normally, and he doesn't ahve any apps at all besides the stock stuff.

I have limited xp with smartphones, but from what I remember on my sister's iphone and some androids was that it was very easy to do the above. offline maps is great, and i will use them when i'm in the boonies or traveling overseas (which i will be doing), but i am a slave to google..

other stuff is more like frills, to me.

scanning for price checks online would be neat.. i saw there is a 2d scanner now, but not sure exactly what it does.

i really would like to get this phone, but part of me is steering towards an android..
