Ive only ever had nokia handsets, they are what im used to. But I will freely admit that nokia are stuck up their own a£$% when it comes to implementing new ideas. They do need to change their attitude towards development and come out with some more innovative handsets that people will be more willing to use.
I think the problem is that phones aren't just phones any more, they are expected to complete an ever-increasing variety of taks, which nokia have never been able to keep up with. I guess it depends what you want your handset to do, I only use mine for calls and texts.

Employees are like mules. Some you stand in front of and coax them along with a carrot. Some you stand behind and kick them in the arse. The key to management is knowing which mules are which!

Eventually the traditional phone will be consigned to history.
The big failing is the numeric only address (phone number). Its a lot easier to remember alphanumeric ids for things than pure numbers.
Shame that the mobile carriers all seem to still concentrate on the number of minutes of use of an archaic medium and the number of texts (a single packet data transfer facility designed for the phone system engineers to use themselves and is a cheek to charge for).
It should all just be marketed as mobile internet, the legacy features are just incidental.

Maybe one day there will be a DNS server for mobile networks, then we can have addresses rather than numbers for phones
