Ad campaigns that criticise a competitor must be hard to get right. Particulary when they produce the reaction that Nokia's latest anti-Apple campaign did for me.

True there are all sorts of restrictions being reported about the Apple iPhone, but I don't really think you could describe the N Series as without limits. Not after finding out that a new chip means they can only be unlocked with a code from the mobile phone company. I can't say I've tried, but I imagine they won't be that keen on giving the code out.

That said, a friend said that he had heard of someone getting an N Series mobile unlocked so it is possible.

I bring this up because, I would probably choose neither phone but go for a Windows Mobile based device. I try hard to like Symbian in fond memory of my Psion 5mx but the lack of interesting software makes this something of a trial.
