same... text entry turned out to be very underwhelming (hoping to be more like the iPhone), and the UI just looks like the same UI all the other Nokia phones have just that you touch it now rather than using a D-pad...
So am I the only one excited about alternate text input methods like T9 and frickin hand writing recognition for god sakes.... Granted the on screen keyboard needs a lot of work but that is nothing a firmware update wont fix. But I like the option of using the stylus and writing notes the old fashioned way. All of our qualms with the software will slowly but surely be addressed in due time. However, hardware is what is not changeable and memory expansion is something I like aswell as the loud speaker and the resolution and built in GPS and wifi...Symbian OS not to mention the price tag too. I'm still getting my N85 though.... It will hold me down until next Christmas 2009 when hopefully the perfect PDA will of been released..
Certainly tempting to get ths. The price is extremely competitive. However I'm going to wait for the N Series touchscreen device.
The Iphone is sleeker but the functionality is just not there. The crippled bluetooth and Camera are deal breakers for me. Iphone is not that popular in Europe. I can't even remember seeing someone with one. I see Nokia n95 all the time.

Turns out I didn't want to get as intimate with this phone as I thought I would
