Erm, its a more complete and usable product than an S60 phone, fact!

I don't see how it's sub standard at all, it was a product designed for
the US market, the european market is different, they have one
manufacturing line... Its also their first phone product, compare it
with nokias first phone.

Well, I remember clearly, no less than 3 in depth lectures you've given
me about your ebay buying habits and the merits of clothing
manufacturers. 

If you want to berate people for wanting a stylish, usable handset, then
don't be so hypocritical in calling them shallow.

Defensive? I don't see how I'm being defensive... I'm only stating that
I think this _IS_ a breakthrough device and regardless of its lack of a
few minor features (remember on a phone, the phone IS the killer app) it
still beats other products on the market on features.
