I'm with Steve on this, the N86 perhaps over the iPhone, the E71 not so for my
opinion.
I agree the N97 has the chance to do this, but from what I read Nokia have
stuff to do to make the Symbian OS better and more stable / responsive before
sighted folk consider it a competitor to the iPhone.

Well I have to confess that I would never use a touch screen device. It's
far too fiddly when you need to take notes or numbers when out and about. It
may well be usable but not to a degree where one could operate a touch
device with confidence and ease. My E71 showers all over the I-Phone all
round. I think you know what that term means.
