Is the N95 yet more Series 60 bloat, though? I'm with Jason Fried when
he says that, until yesterday, no-one's got the mobile user experience
right:

"Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, LG, Siemens, Panasonic.
They've had years to get it right, but still no one has. The UIs suck.
The smarter the phone the slower it is. The 'other stuff' on phones
still haven't caught on. Today's phones are failures — mainly
software/interface failures."
