@MHlongwane : I understood that there may be an app of some sort that will enable firmware updates over the air for a number of Nseries (and presumably Eseries) devices down the line. I didn’t explore this in detail but that could happen. It would certainly be consistent with how I think Nokia views some of these smart devices.

Apple has made a number of comments about Symbian and I’ve learned that Apple tends to portray itself as the big innovator even when all it is doing is playing catchup. That being said S60 isn’t as smooth and good looking as the iPhone OS. I don’t know how much of it is functionality and how much is simply user interface but both are obviously important for various reasons.
