You may think the competition is so utterly in favour of the iPhone to be not worth discussion, but that's not what we're discussing. Your argument adds weight to the initial point that Nokia *can* learn lots from the iPhone and Apple, whether in terms of marketing, UI design or software polish.
I do love your selective selection of my texts to misrepresent my statements. What I said was:
If a host of N800 users suddenly migrate to the iPhone, this should tell the story about which is a better and more usable platform I would say.
Quite different from what you presume I said. The key word in my statement being "'if". Personally I could not care less if the iPhone, which is a phone and sold as such, outsells the N800, which is an Internet Table and sold as such, thus NO COMPARISON in my book. They are two different devices selling to two different markets which should also be quite easy to see. My argument simply states that there is no comparison between the two devices while you may think that there is. Great. That's your opinion and I am entitled to mine. A comparison would be between the N770 and the N800, or the iPhone against other phones, say the N95 or the E61, but to think that an Internet Tablet is comparable to a phone makes no sense and does not represent a real comparison in my book.
