But, it doesn't sound like it is. Just not perfect, and certainly doesn't (in your opinion) come close to the iPhone.
I don't understand why that makes Nokia doomed.
I'll use the internets favorite failure analogy: Vista, was for all intents and purposes a big failure (Im writing this from a Vista64 machine that I adore). MSFT is the number 1 maker of operating systems, and Vista was fucked. However, MSFT righted that ship and Windows7 is a much different story (even though it really is just shinier, better version of Vista).
So, Nokia puts out a phone that isn't a total steaming pile of shit. They can hopefully do a better job next time. It sounds like the real issue is the paultry processor and the shameful OS, which are two things that are design flaws that can be rectified. Corporate dogma, on the otherhand, cannot.

I must say... If you are getting this phone for the apps... Do a 180 turn and get iPhone. The Ovi store is lacking content... and I don't know when it will have the STRONG SAUSAGE to be as good as Apple's selections.
The camera is good only in the CORRECT lighting. To bright and it sucks... to much of that ORANGE lighting and ITS UNBEARABLE (just like my grammar)...
Hmmm... what else... oh yeah... I have also drop my phone from 4 feet high... THE THING WAS BUILD TEXAS STRONG. Just a single chip on the chrome edge, and it hit a sharp concrete stone.
That is about it... So yeah... I will still say...
If you have the money buy it (or the iPhone or Pre) but if you don't... Don't place it on your credit card. Save money and get something better in the future... (the the Sony Ericson Omi?)

Just so you know, the fact that you wrote this sentence, or that you even test things regularly by texting while driving, makes me want to punch you in the goddamn face.
How horribly, stupidly irresponsible of you. And to just pass it off like that as a fucking nothing? When you DO wreck, and kill somebody, or maim yourself, I'll be standing outside of the hospital room with one of those digital hallmark cards and when you open it, it'll start singing "WHOOOMP! there it is. WHOOMP there it is"...

And yet, ironically, not banging out a text message while driving can save your life.
