1.) They disable certain features of the O/S depending on the target market of the device. This I cannot stand. So the N95 cannot show your email on the front screen. It is nice that they added support for Mail for Exchange on those N-series devices, but to not be able to have your emails showing on the front screen is a big problem and so I tell customers "You need an E-series phone for push email on the Exchange server".

I am most unhappy about this practice. It is a shame when they make a phone of perfect hardware, that they cripple the device because "It is not a business phone". Why not make a "do anything phone".

Windows Mobile doesn't do this. But forget Windows Mobile, it is horrible and is for phones what Windows 3.0 is for PCs.

2.) New features. I know they have to sell new handsets, but why can a firmware update not introduce new features? The E66 has some niceties added to the UI, some kind of fade in/out, and no doubt other things. I think it's highly unlikely we'll see those features in a firmware update to the E51.
