I may be biased tword Symbian, but this Device looks very nice. One of the things I like most about it is third party application support (which the iPhone utterly fails at currently).

You can hook up your Slingbox setup, or use ControlFreak to manage WinAmp over bluetooth, or use WirelessIRC for IRC+Twitter on the go. Add Python, native binary and PHP+MySQL web server support and you have an amazing development platform.

I can see this taking off much more than the iPhone in application driven environments, stock traders who need to keep on top of the market and do everything they would do at their desk when in the loo, sales people in large firms who need to keep track off all their contacts, records, invoices, &c. when on the road, Project managers who want to keep abreast of SVN commit comments for their teams... the list goes on.

Oh, and it's fantastic for gadget nuts (like me) too. Sure you have to charge it every day, but I've been charging my phone every night since my N-Gage. It does have 3G too, N95-1 for Europe and N95-3 for North America.

I've had this phone for a year and I hate it more than any phone I've ever owned. It's so unresponsive in use.
