Disagree, as a user of a Nokia E60, which I could have sworn by until
last night. (E- and N-series Nokia share the same OS version, broad
feature set.)
Sure 3G is great, but having WiFi (as E-series does) more than makes
up for lack of 3G (particularly once you have EDGE). (When you've
made that first VoIP call via WiFi, on a cellphone, you're converted.)
Apart from all the 'cool' stuff with the iPhone (ex: why didn't
anyone else think of the accelerometer thingie? Or dumping the
stylus?) the real strength is going to be that he has Unix/OSX under
the hood, and a platform that allows him to do desktop-quality
applications on a cellphone-sized device. The opportunities are
immense. Symbian/Nokia is quite nice, Linux cellphone is too, but it
looks like an eclipse is imminent...

The only let down with the phone is it does not do 3G it uses EDGE
which is basically stepped up GPRS although it has WIFI, The iphone
may have the advantage of the built in ipod but with ever increasing
size of SD minicard sizes I think it is not in the League of the S60
phones N80 and N95 so i dont think Nokia will be loosing sleep over
this one

In the presentation the price was indicated as US$ 600 for a 2 year
contract with a service provider. That gives you an indication.
