Honestly they are so out of their league...

I was really hoping something might put an end to the one horse race. There's nothing to see here move on, next...

Ironic that the phones designer is dressed as Steve Jobs

How can you tell from that poxy video where the camera rarely zooms in on the phone and all he does is scroll left/right a few times?

Yeah, but he didn't quite pull off that 'dying of liver cancer' look

Yeh the ‘N’ & ‘E’ series from Nokia are still peerless.

…Or do you mean that 35,000 trick pony from Apple that sends calls straight to answer phone and still has a crap camera?

Remind me why I need a 12 mega pixel SLR with 89734085723409534953456358359723048570347543085708 347053475034750348753045740 optical zoom on my mobile?

Same reason you need a motion sensor in one?

You don't but a camera that is nearly as good as decent compact is commonplace on most phones these days, the technology is there, it’s cheap (unlike the iphone) yet they continue to offer a substandard camera while almost every other manufacturer offers something decent within their range.

I've said before I'd have bought one if it had a decent camera, when they released to 3GS I toyed with idea again then I started reading about the calls going straight to answer phone problem so that put me off again.
