It's stuck in some sort of fuzzy middle-land between PDA operating systems like WinMo and Palm, and phone systems like Series 60. Plus the strange mish-mash of qwerty with a touch screen means that you end up having an internal debate about whether to pull out the stylus or try to find a key combination that will acheive what you intend. It's counter intuitive. If anyone is interested, I banged out a brief comparison of UIQ 3.0 versus Series 60 <a href="http://www.gadgetophile.com/sony-ericsson-m600i-versus-nokia-e70/" rel="nofollow">over here</a>. I am a bit biased towards S60 because I have more experience with it, but I'm pretty sure most people would find S60 easier to live with on a day to day basis, unless you're desperate for a touch screen.
