Smartphone (last season, Nokia's prime): good camera w/ mms/3g call capability, some email, some browsing, some apps.

Current smartphone: past gen capabilities PLUS: great email, great browsing, hectic apps ecosystem.

I'd say N97 still hasn't made the full transition. (OK, N8 is a new ballgame, we'll wait and see its numbers).
well, their smartphone userbase doesn't probably even utilise couple percent of the capabilities. calls +smses plus camera and that is it. It is hard to say if smartphone features will break to amongst Joe Averages.

Come on.

You may utterly hate their restrictive practices or blatant commercialism or how freely inane junks creep into the appstores; but you can't deny that it's been such a sheer force in building a vibrant and productive developer community.
what do you mean when you talk about embedding something to the os?

and mobile devices are compromises, so there must be flaws. always.
