I find the openGL 2.0 support infuriating. I miss the days where playing 2D side scrollers on the loo were the norm. The 3D Engine that they have built into this thing is just too good. Now I "Bounce" or play Quake. I might install Doom. But that will never replace "Ranging Rabbit" or "Asteroids", or even "Space Invaders".

The data transfer / write speeds to the local drive on the device are a real bugbear too. Gone are the days where you could connect via PC Suite and spend the next hour or so transferring 5 albums from PC to phone. Why is it so fast? I can't be bored watching slow 1% increases anymore. That's too much time I have gained.

I can't be doing with the screen resolution either. When I watch a movie on my phone I want to be able to complain about the graininess, the jumpy frame transition and the fact that I have had to convert from one format to another and resize the frame so that my phone will accept it. C'mon Nokia, you mean it will play just about anything? Where's the hardship in that?!

The HSDPA connection. It's too fast. And it renders webpages too quickly. When I'm out on the town I want to be able to pull out my phone and spend the next five minutes absorbed in it, waiting for it to render the next page of whatever webby I'm currently browsing. I want to be able to say to my mates "just a little longer lads" and then be laughed at when it returns "Webpage time-out".

It does FLV. I mean really. Flash files, flawlessly rendered and played in the palm of your hand? I don't get it. Streaming YouTube? Various other FLV based sites, perfectly shown on a high res screen that you carry in your pocket? Why?!

It's all too much.

I agree with you johnel. We all like cake.
