Ya gotta admit though, the lag is clearly present in his videos. I'd be a bit miffed too if I received mine in the same condition. Sure, I'd still hold out for updates to fix it and I would still be optimistic of its potential, but my out of the box experience would still get knocked down a notch or two. No reason not to expect better than at least S60 web browsing in Nokia's highly-touted, multi-tasking, desktop web browsing, mobile computer. Of course Nokia does have a knack for shipping buggy phones upon initial release (and releasing better firmware fixes for some regions only... what's up with that?). I can't say I have much confidence in Nokia's software side of things. Clearly, even with essentially identical hardware, Apple does a bang up job of coding the browser rendering.

I'll continue to try to keep my expectations in check and hope I don't receive a phone with similar issues. However, that's no excuse for Nokia to be shipping out some phones that do.
