I like my 800 but, speaking as a professional software type, there's no way I would carry on with the current Hildon interface. It brings too much baggage from both desktops and phones, and it's plain *old*. The IPhone shouldn't have surprised Nokia in its overall outline - it combines the usability that Apple achieved with Newton with the "Minority Report" inspired look that everyone knew was the future of GUI since Msoft demoed Windows Presentation Foundation for the first time. (Hmmm... do you think MSoft laughed when they called a product WPF??) Nokia have to at least catch up fast - and not just to Apple. Windows Mobile will inevitably get a radical GUI work over too.
