Williamo’s Blog.

Great article by a recent convert from the Symbian S60 based phones (Nokia N95, etc.) to the iPhone 3G, highlighting the points where the S60 OS excels…

After finally getting my thoughts on the iPhone 3G out into a blog post last week I felt it was finally time to go back to using a Nokia S60 device again. I’d really missed the S60 experience and I’ve wanted to try some of the new devices running the latest software (top of my list right now is the Nokia E71).

As has become the norm I posted my thought to Twitter and got this reply from Frank:

That got me thinking about what I really missed about the S60 experience while I was using the iPhone and here is what I came up with.

Don’t get me wrong, I think the iPhone is a great device and is helping the US cellular market get up to the technological speed that the rest of the world has been enjoying for years. (And you can’t beat that iPhone web browser)

But, for all the iPhone’s success, it still doesn’t have basic features that I use on my N95 daily, the biggest of which being the ability to run background applications, and the copy/paste functionality.

I’m tempted, like Frank, to upgrade to an E71 (I really want a QWERTY keyboard on my phone) instead of switching over to the iPhone 3G.
