    I know it's only a prototype at the moment, but the video of the interface looks slow and laggy. Hopefully it'll improve before release, but if they don't get it sorted then it will just flop.

    dual led flash? still?!

    they've had xenon flash on lesser phones for a while, why still hold out on the flagship phones?

    Will it have the same woefully sluggish UI as every other Symbian smartphone I've owned?

    Really, it should not be hard to at least make the user think things are happening quicker. It's amazing how slow you can get away with things being, as long as system gives some sort of speedy response.

    Looks quite promising, even if it is an upgraded rip off of the TYTN II that i currently have.

    HTC touch HD is my fave smartphone of the moment though, looks a million times better than any other smartphone and the screen is fantastic!

    Personally I've never had an issue with the speed of s60 and UIQ devices. My brother has the original N95 and has complained about the speed of the UI but that was fixed ages ago in a firmware update which he's yet to get!

    Providing there are no major flaws with this phone I'll be upgrading to it

    Maybe it's the years of using various versions of Windows that's rendered me desensitized to OS lag, but I haven't found the S60 on my N95 particularly sluggish. Not that I'm a big fan of Symbian, anyway.
