Almost no mention of:

- No mini-HDMI output (so i take 5mp pictures, but can't show those same high def pics in hd on my tv).
- No D-Pad or Trackball
- Lack of profile options
- No custom ringtones per contact
- No Ovi/PC suite for Linux (what Nokia loves open source put money where the mouth is imho)
- Ovi Maps 1.0 sucks
- 3,7" (like DROID) instead of 3,5" would have been ever better (still same size device)
- no internal compass (great for streetnav/augumented reality)
- no e-mail search function (???)
- Ovi Store not live at release

imho they should fire most of the UI team and hire some ppl from Apple, Palm, RIM or Android to catch-up with a 21st century UI.

Besides all this it's still a good device, but could have been better.
Your post is wrong in so many ways, i have to make a list:
  • there's a first impression thread. Some people use it for this kind of stuff
  • many of your problems have already been mentioned on said thread
  • you make it sound like nobody ever said a word about those problems. just having a look around here shows otherwise. Or maybe you were expecting these things to be said by marketing people (it's their job to say just enough, you know)
  • how the ui is outdated beats me, all i've heard is praises for it. IMO it's pretty nice
  • it's not a camera, and how many phones actually have hdmi output. and for that matter, how many have tv-out either?
  • profiles and ringtone will probably get fixed soon, though i have to give you that, they give an unfinished feeling
  • maybe a 5" screen on a same size device? better yet, make it 19" (i love my desktop monitor)

There would be more to say, but i got bored

Note to mods: if you merge this thread, please remove this comment. It really will look silly merged
Edit:aren't edits nice? Now my post is irrelevant after changing the OP
