The thing about the profiles, no. 6
In S40 you can program the profiles if you for example want to have the silent profile every saturday the phone will fix that for you if you just program it like that. In S60 you cant, you have to choose the profile manually everytime.

Sure,

My Conclusion is the following:
“S40 devices are much more than dumb phones. Indeed they now have some software features that are still not available on the S60 plaform. Some PIM applications (contacts, calendar) offers more features on S40 than S60. That’s why I think Nokia should take it into account in the next Feature Packs.”

Greg: Could you please translate just your conclusion? Would like to hear your final verdict on who you think the winner is and what both operating systems can learn from each other.

And to the log: S40 also lists the outgoing SMS and MMS, S60 only the phone calls. Then he mentioned that S40 shows little notices to every menu option, when you wait a few seconds.

To the contacts: S40 can display the names, names and numbers or names with pics, and you can choose a normal or big font.

And there’s one more thing…
S40 and S80 can do it. But not S60: There is no option to display the sim contacts by default, you always have to navigate through the menu to display them. Terrible.
