I once owned a E62 and also found it to take a lot of clicks to get things done, but I kept reading in places like allaboutsymbian.com that there are tons of shortcuts built into the OS which actually make it quike easy to navigate. Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to figure out what these shortcuts might be because I couldn’t stomach the Cingular-induced shortcomings. I returned it after a bit more than a week.

I’d love to get your opinion on the navigability of the S60 OS on the E90.

Thanks, Julie!</p> <p>I tried the 8525 but did not keep it (a bit too large, slider was a bit too easy to flop open). The 8925 is much better (smaller, tension on the slider, double the memory and GPS). I'd still like to try an iPhone though. </p> <ul> <li>Joe </li> </ul> Nice review. Thanks, Julie!

It’s so hard to keep things simple when every feature under the sun is included in the device. ;o)

Maybe you missed Rob’s review of the TyTN II (aka Tilt) last month.

My quick-thoughts about the S60 Touch platform:

  • (yet another) iPhone experience
  • lots of cycling through lots of menus
  • long waits on new software, will render cell phones useless for a long while if you need/want more
  • could lead to the same “playing around”, that you have experienced on and off with your iPhone: nice but not really super usefull on a daily basis

Conclusion: KISS :-)

I’ll take a closer look at the E90 and N95-3 to see if they might be something I want to purchase for review.

What do you guys thing of the demo video that was going around a few weeks ago with the new Symbian OS? Very iPhone like, but to me it appeared to be much better. I wonder how long we’ll have to wait before devices show up with it?

I'd love to hear your toughts on the new N95-3 Nokia phone. I just got one and I like it a lot (specially as an upgrade to the N80) but a point of view from an iPhone user will be refresing. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Puerto Rico!</p> Hi Julie. I’d love to hear your toughts on the new N95-3 Nokia phone.
