..and that is exactly why apps isn't everything. apps are usually just like stickers glued on top of the monitor: makes something possible but doesn't make that much sense compared to thoroughly integrated user interface (read: something that can be shown in the monitor). I'd prefer out of the box experience over app selection in appstore any day. that is why windows phone kicks *** if you want to introduce your dad to social networking. I just took my N900 to my parents for skype and the integration to OS made things so simple that my little sister no longer needs to guide them through when they want to message or call via skype, unlike how it worked with normal pc client.
