I need to try this, but judging by the screenshots, it looks like this works alot like Sony Ericsson's T9 - what with the drop-down list of recommendations and most frequently used words being on top.
Another important factor that should be compared is gaming. Companies like Infinite Dreams make all these gorgeous looking games for the Symbian OS, and with the introduction of the new n-gage platform in November on many s60 v3 n-series smartphones, Nokia seems pretty strong on gaming. One of their announced n-gage games even has nintendo wii like motion sensing, using the phone's camera to detect motion.
