Nokia :: E72 / Disappointed With Software

I bought an E72 last weekend, because I needed a phone that has long battery life. I have to say I'm really disappointed with Software on the E72. My last 2 smart phones were Treo 650 and Apple iPhone(s). I'm still hanging onto my iPhone after this whole experience with the E72, and I'll still keep my E72 and hold out Hope that Nokia will improve. Given Palm Os not Web OS over the current Symbian OS on my E72 I'd take Palm OS.The problem is not the Hardware, Nokia phones are gorgeous infact I would say better looking than RIM's or HTC for devices with physical keyboards. The problem is Software, having used the E72 for about a day and a half I realized that my iPhone didn't really come with an instruction manual... after trying to figure out how to configure the E72 I resorted to Google and the Manual that came with the E72, there are still some unanswered questions.

The main problem with the software is that there is NO flow... when I use it, it feels like the people who developed it each when in their own direction. For example updating software... the first thing I did when I started the phone is I plugged it into the charger, and tried to check for software updates... I found out via google there is a separate way to update firmware and actual software the SWUpdate program doesn't do firmware. Why not? and if it doesn't why don't you tell the user? to update the software you can download it via pc and upload it, punch in some key combo on the device and check for over the air updates.Another problem is the software introduces the idea of "profiles" fantastic something I wish the iPhone had...there are different ways to change profiles "Mode" (work/personal) "Destination" (for connection profiles) are these 2 things linked??? I don't know it doesn't feel like it... I thought if I created a work destination and a home destination I can link it to a mode. I'm not sure if I can or can't do that. This leads to the problem of Applications always BUGGING you when it needs to connect to the internet. Why can't apps be smart and use the data connections set in the DESTINATION based on priority?

User interface of even the Nokia apps is terrible... for example the Nokia Messaging application that connects to Ovi, Gtalk, Yahoo and MSN.... the Tabs at the top of the screen to switch between services takes up 1/3 of the screen space WHY? Why can't you just combine all the lists or atleast provide an option to combine all the user lists into 1 big list?Other problems that I had to google... when trying to update the OVI Store application I got a certificate error during the install process... The root cause of the problem was that the date/time was set incorrectly on the phone it took a good 30-40 minutes of googling to find that.Is there a way to quit programs in your task manager or application switcher without actually switching to them?The file manager for seeing files on your phone and SD Card are in OFFICE again what kind of logic is that?
