I wanted to comment on your Nokia observation. I am currently trying to decide between a Nokia E71 and an iPhone. I know what an iPhone is, so I bought the E71 and can return it within 30 days. It copies and pastes. I can make spreadsheets on it. Much of it works disconnected.
There are a few things I like about the E71 that the iPhone just doesn't do. It is super responsive in everything it does. You can dial it one handed. It tethers a machine to the internet.
The OS is ugly - I agree. The question is (and I know your love of Blackberry) one of purpose. In your opinion, is the iPhone a business class phone? Is beauty the be-all end all of mobile computing?
PS: I would have just bought a BB Bold, except our company doesn't have a server and the workarounds would complicate my life.

That is a great question. I am going to reblog this question and answer in a full blog post.
