I hate when someone asks me to text them someone's contact info and I have to find their names in the contact directory, copy it and then paste it. My 6170 would just let me always insert contact's number. Is there nothing like that with Symbian? I would love to be able to copy and paste easily.

Must be IPOD like : u transfer the music, and it´s ready to listen. For me, the need for refresh the music library really SUCKS.

But if I go to the menu screen, I get a missed call icon in the top right corner. Why exclude this icon from the standby screen?

On a WM device you can configure it to pop up a list possible matches to the letters that you have so far entered. So for example if you type in "rem" it might pop up "remember", "remove", and "remorse". You can then select the one you want and it saves you typing in the rest of the text. A big saving especially on a non-qwerty device. Nokia are you listening? The main thing I want (and I am surprised that no-one has ever suggested this) is true predictive text.

On my N95 there's just one browser and thats my primary one too. So it aint really a problem for me. But yes, in your case copying and pasting the URL in Opera everytime must be annoying. However Y-Tasks from www.drjukka.com might be able to help. Try chnging the default file type option from there! Yeah thats bad for non FP1 devices.

One more: When I install Opera and go to a link from Messaging - guess what opens? Nokia Browser every time. There is no way to change it - force you to use Services or Nokia Browser. Worse than Microsoft :-(( Good point Vaibhav and thank you for a great list!

But can't it be made up for by the background? The teens today really believe in multitasking and getting the most outta the minimum and that i think takes precedence. It does for me at least, although i'm not a teen anymore! N what'll pull the teens to s60 is the music, internet and gaming capabilities, all of which nokia is emphasizing on. This one time they've played their cards right! ;-) Yahon, vibrance is an important point you make.. But can’t it be made up for by the background?

Its been the same since the 7650 days! We can't give titles to notes and that makes it took really messy.. A while earlier when the wallet application was bundled on phones like the 6681 and even 6600 i think; for the secret notes it had the provision of giving a title to each note. Why take that away nokia? I don't care about the app but still lets move forward! N it had a limit to the text each note could have, lets chuck that too. Plus a read only and edit option will be good. This'll make for easier scrolling with large notes. N a save as .txt option would be great too! What say?
