So...
You have a high-end device that's all about music and video. So yes, it needs broadband and a computer. This isn't a S40 Nokia - how many subs will want one but not have the other? And how well would the network hold up if everyone filled up their 16 gig of storage with OTA downloads?
It got confused by your (pretty unusual) corporate internet setup. How many consumers will run into that?
It tethers to the Desktop in a way that S60 doesn't. No OTA firmware upgrades, for example, and no Bluetooth syncing at all. The result is far less complexity and fiddly menus than an S60, and one settings app instead of half a dozen. Would you actually prefer to enter a credit card and billing address directly on the phone? Well, yes, I know YOU would, but really...
And the installer lacked a little superficial polish (but worked just fine). Anything that Syncs with Outlook needs to restart it - even Hotsync.
I'd suggest you try evaluating this as though you were the target market - people who don't run Ubuntu, and who place a much higher value on not having to fiddle than on being able to fiddle. This thing is very popular - try working out why, instead of listing why 'tis the wrong device for you 😉
