Ahh, yes it was slow but somebody at Nokia told me it was because of the software (S70 was it?). They knew the HW would catch up; it was the software fork which evidently did the product in.

We also might not have the iPhone (the large icons on the iPhone gave me deja vu). The 7710 was just landscape orientation instead of portrait.
