Why would i need multi-touch on a phone? A phone is a phone, for phone calls, sometimes text messages, at most MP3 playback, that's it... and all the reviews of iPhone suggested that this multi-touch thingy is at most "moderate" against conventional keyboard when it comes to typing ... (a lot of mistouch and errors but Apple got some really good error correction to compensate that).
Do you really think anyone is going to "surf the web" on those tiny screens? i don't care how much reso they have, let say even they have 1680x1050 on the iPhone screen, what does it matters? its still pain in an ass to surf on that.
Still hawking that useless multitouch feature, MacVicta? Have you gone back and reviewed the Apple demos that fail to show it being used other than for scaling a photo? Is that not part of your regular iPhone worship? Did Jobs not script that for you?
Screen hobbled by the keyboard? Please! The iPhone is hobbled by its scrappy onscreen keyboard that will never work as well as the real thing.
Frankly, the Nokia E61 is the worst smartphone of the current breed but it's still better than the iPhone which doesn't exist at all. No one who uses such a device for serious text communication will want a device without a keyboard.

"Lets face it, Nokia does EVERYTHING (apart from iTune integration) that stupid iPhone does."
Other than Multi-Touch and the fact that half your E61's potential screen space is hobbled by its keyboard.
