I agree with every single word and I share your fear. S60 should have gone out the door a long, long time ago and if Idou has the same speed (lack of) and ease of use (it's a mess) as your run of the mill S60 phone or even 5800 then it will be a disaster.

Have you guys seen the lack of response of Omnia HDīs touchscreen??? All symbian manufacturers can do what they want, but untill they equal the iphone (and the G1) in touch input response (plus multitouch), they will be behind
Also, i donīt see anything on the Idou interface that shows they are benefiting of the AWESOME UIQ Touch concepts weīve seen before

This is what Symbian Foundation touch OS should be like...and iīm not seeing it in the near future

To be honest the Symbian situation depresses me massively. Ten years ago, I was using EPOC devices and would defend that OS to the death. Psion had a really fantastic product on their hands. Had Psion had the capital to develop it and enter the phone market themselves, I think we could all be in a very different place right now.
Instead the baton got passed to the likes of Ericsson and Nokia, and both stuffed up royally as far as I can see. Ericsson/SE/UIQ had the right ideas (the P800 really showed everyone the way), but went on to completely mismanage everything into the ground. Nokia, as far as I can see, have never actually understood the concept of a smartphone, and simply used Symbian to do all the OS donkey work in the background on more complicated devices while still sticking with essentially the same tired old Nokia UI from the 90's - a pointless waste.
In terms of realising the potential of an OS like Symbian to deliver a really advanced user-friendly smartphone for the masses, really nobody's achieved it yet, and instead it's Apple (whose own Steve Jobs was once said to be a fan of the P800) that finally brought the smartphone concept into the mainstream. For all the bluster of the Symbian Foundation (and their little fans like Mario) it's now Nokia and Symbian that are desperately trying to catch up and avoid getting completely sidelined in an iPhone/Android/WinMo pincer movement that renders them completely redundant.

Haven't seen their showroom before, that looked awsome! If you can put an interface like that, and on hardware that makes it flow as nicely as it does in the demo, I'm sold! That's a winner with both geeks and moms alike.

Has anyone here seen Palmīs Pre interface videos on youtube? Itīs fantastic. Itīs very similar to the iphone with multi-touch, ease of use and eye-candy but totally guided towards multitasking with flickable cards plus it has something called sinergy that takes contacts, IM, calendar and social services all together in a whole new level. If any phone in the market today can begin being called īiphone-killerī, that phone is the Pre. Iīm really amazed. However a couple of things still favor the iphone I guess... The first is iTunes... I donīt think the Pre will have a strong desktop app. Second the app store... Preīs OS is new to the market plus it only accepts apps written on html, javascript and css (very easy to code and very light on resources but at the same time the apps will have limited power). Third is MobileMe. Fourth is 3D games (Pre only runs web code).
I canīt wait for the Pre to hit to market so we can really see what its capable of. Its interface is already superior to the iphoneīs current OS, letīs see the rest in a couple of months.

Very very nice, thanks Xell. It's probably the most simple, yet effective demo tour I've seen.
