I was thinking. What the Nseries needs is a true fashion “I-want-that” device, that not only looks good, but doesn’t compromise too much on the features. Sure, we got the N72, but it didn’t look all that good and it basically was a N70 in a different package with the old S60 2^nd edition UI. Besides even in the time-period it was released its specs were considered a bit dated. Next we got the N76 which looked the part, but compromised on the camera and even worse: no GPS, no WLAN. The latest attempt is the N82 aimed at the fashion-conscience buyers. While the device isn’t an ugly duckling and is packed with features, it’s not the prettiest thing either. It’s as if Nokia is creating these amazing S60 smartphones with all the bells and whistles yet they are incapable of making them look fashionable. I really like the N95 8GB’s looks, but it kinda looks “nice” in a serious, business/multimedia sort of way. Why are all the nice looking devices S40 phones? Just look at the 8800 series, 8600 Luna, 6500 classic or even the 7900 Prism! No, I’m not saying that the Nseries should be just as small as these S40 devices; they just need to look better.

Can you imagine something like the 8800 series, but with a larger screen, at least a 3 megapixel camera, GPS, WLAN and Symbian OS with the S60 UI?
