Good introduction video i found in YouTube
Less, but still has some disadvantages
- The S60 touch UI is still inconsistent
- Outdated camera interface and features
- No DivX or XviD video support out-of-the-box
- No smart dialing
- No office document editing (without a paid upgrade)
- No camera lens protection
- No FM transmitter (though that may be stretching it too far)
