No, I'd rather not...

You can clearly see that the latter is a better interface.... which i think was more driven by the competition from the touch/iphone. What i meant was that the firmware upgrade defintiely improved the user interface more because it lacked a good one initially. In all other regards you really cannot compare the tablets to any other portable device.
Actually, I can't see the difference, because the reported problems of 2008 are of such a nature that I decided not to install it.

And I honestly don't see a move to a finger-only interface -- basically trying to copy the iPhone (<spit!>) -- as an improvement. For one thing, it was done so haphazardly that people don't stop complaining about the "not meat not fish" attitude of 2008. Nokia would have done better to keep focusing on the dual nature of the interface and direct improvements towards perfecting that neat idea. Instead, they made it worse. As usual...
