And yet, why has the iPhone become so popular? Because of the interface.
That's what needs to be beaten in order for a phone to be declared an "iPhone killer". Jamming specs into a phone isn't the hard part.
You know, that's part of the reason why so many of my friends (mostly Nokia owners) are going for a SE as their next phone this year. It's because of the interface and SE's cool designs.

Well he can't complain about pixel density anymore! And unlike SE it's not on a sub 2inch screen either.
As for the iPhone, I see the Tube easily outselling it. Come on, who wouldn't want to have and try the NEW Nokia S60 touch?
I have an iPhone and iPhone 3G but I will definitely buy the 5800XM to run it through it's paces. I have a feeling I might be surprised by it.

What a silly thing to say. Firstly, you've no reason to say billions of people "love" that interface. They may certainly use it, but that's something else entirely. I use a Windows Mobile phone, I find the interface perfectly adequate, but do I and the millions of other WM users "love" it? Of course not.
Secondly, the "nastiness" of a UI is a subjective thing, which means that if I see nastiness there, then there's nastiness there. There really is no point in you telling me it's not.
and unlike iphone, this actually is a multimedia phone, not a half-assed one like iphone with its 2MP and video-less camera. not to mention the screen carries almost double the pixels, which nigthblade, i'm sure you love to count.
Yes, the Iphone is a famous failure where multimedia is concerned. Nokia will certainly have that market sewn up.

Argue all you want folks but bottom line is:
S60 Touch is another very potent weapon in Nokia's already vast arsenal!
This mid-range 5800XM is that good, just imagine their flagship touch device. Bigger screen with N96 or beyond specs perhaps?! *drools*

Has anyone seen The Dark Knight yet? What looks like The Tube makes a cameo! It's a full touch screen Nokia phone, with a chrome accent around the edge like an iPhone. It's in a scene with Morgan Freeman and Christian Bale, about 25 mins into the movie. (Don't want to say anymore in case anyone's going to watch it!)
Nokia clearly have the product placement on this film, as every phone in Gotham is a Nokia lol. But the tube was a nice surprise. This is the only pic I can find online:

As always, you fail to see my point.

Is this being compared to the iPhone?
Somehow, I don't see this as any type of iPhone competitor, it just hasn't got the style and that UI looks awful - hopefully it will be dressed up a bit before it is released but in the style-stakes - it doesn't stand a chance from these pictures.
It will probably undercut the iPhone price-wise (not hard to do
) and out-gun it spec-wise but it'll just be seen as the cheaper alternative IMO

point? did you even have any? i was talking about how this phone is better technically and god knows from where you brought into the popularity and how people love iphone for its UI. screw the UI, people who have any idea about phones will not jump to a phone for its UI. If that were true, nokia would be bankrupt by now
