Nokia’s keyboard was wonderfully roomy, but its Symbian operating system ran sluggishly, with brief but aggravating waits when switching between programs. And Nokia’s desktop software was downright grotesque.

The Dash and the Nokia took more work to configure than the Treo but still functioned better than the BlackBerry.

Wow … Nokia gets burned in this article. Like I said many times however the Treo has the most intuitive UI for the smart phone amature. Now the Nokia E61 is my first smart phone, but I consider myself a fairly advanced user, and I am having zero issues with it. Palm is more elegant true, but I wanted a device with wifi and a large keyboard. Sigh … if the Treo 680 looked like an E61, had GPS like the N95, a camcorder like the N93, ran the latest Series 60 v 3 FP1 OS, but had the PIM from the Palm OS, I would be in mobility heaven.
