For what it's worth, I think your posting was interesting and useful. Indeed first impressions do matter and such things probably make or break a deal more often than almost anything else (except for the few of us that tend to dig deep into the details before we decide what to buy).

And from your description it did sound like the model you watched had an older firmware version than what's currently available, but then again I'm not one of those with a loan device so all I have to go from is the introduction video and what's been written. But if this is right then it would be a good idea for Nokia to get updated/upgraded devices out to the shops as quickly as possible. First impressions do count.
