Nokia’s iPhone-killer running Series 60??? Frak!

Aaargh, Nokia’s iPhone-killer is going to be running S60?

Bummer. I had high hopes for a cool device to work on.

Software could trip up Nokia’s iPhone rival

First Nokia touchscreen phone could be a disappointment, analysts warn

When Nokia’s first touch-screen phone eventually comes out, looks will be important, but software is what could make the difference between success and failure.

Richard Windsor, of Nomura International, said that when he tested the latest version of the S60 operating system, understood to be the software the Nokia touch phone will run on, he was “deeply unimpressed.”

He warned that unless there is a “meaningful improvement” to the user experience before the phone is launched, it could fail to catch on and become profitable.

“While the device looks great, we think that the software that runs it could easily end up being a massive disappointment,” he said.
