In my opinion S60 is better than the iPhone OS for 1 simple reason: multitasking. A modern smart device OS that doesn't let you switch between active taks is a joke, only teflon coated Apple could get away with this so lightly...

It might have a few UI issues with the touch versions and not be as slick, but functionality > shiny. Having said that Maemo is both functional and shiny, and Nokia would do well to stick it on more than the N900.
