Its becoming more open, with T-mobile offering to support any phone you can stick your SIM card in, but you are right, you can not buy iphone from Apple. You can get it unlocked from Hong Kong or Australia and use it on T-mobile, etc.

I don't believe for one minute that Nokia are expecting this phone to be a really big seller, or 'iPhone Killer', afer all, it isn't a phone, it's an Internet Tablet that just happens to have some phone functions.

Try running 2 apps at a time in IPhone out of box, btooth any file or comparing the 5800s speaker / sound quality, durability etc with either of these. Nokia may not be the talk of the town but its not going away anytime soon. The world does not revolve around the US - only 5 percent of the phone market.

You are dead right though, Noka must STEP up its game and improve QA etc.

I must admit, I completely agree with what you said.....even quoting me in a semi bad way!!! I had got bored of typing.
I think symbian is a competitor for iPhone and Android, and it's overall marketshare proves so. Although the majority of people don't see it yet (mainly due to not being advertised to the masses), meego will be the next OS to take the world by storm on the SmartPhone side of things, it (as Maemo currently) is so far ahead of the others out there
