Redfly has been around for a while (hint, perhaps some people want this product irrespective of the narrow minded people at Engadget) . I have one and it works for me on long business trips where I prefer not to hunt for a power source for my laptop. Redfly s/w also available for running on Windows netbook.
A story about SE but Engadget had to include the iPhone! Please remember Engadget, the iPhone is not exclusive and much more expensive!
What you need to buy new gloves just to use your $xxx SMARTPHONE! Doesn't sound too "smart" to me ;-)
Typical Engadget narrow minded thinking. What about all those people who like to use a stylus for small details, the back of a finger nail and finally use a device with a gloves on! And if S60 is so rubbish whay after year after year S60 devices outsell all other Smartphones added together? You would have thought that after 6 years of Smartphone selling market forces would have led to Nokia's demise! But why bother with facts when FUD is much more fun!
Ability to use a standard micro USB charger (so you can use any USB power source without the need for a laptop/PC) as the battery seems to be very poor.

HID BT profile so that you can use an external keyboard and use the iPhone as a UMPC.

True ownership - fully unlocked device from point of sale.
Looks like Engadget are surprised that people want to buy a Pre - guess what not everyone wants an iPhone!
Hang-on, the iPhone was £599 (yes UK pounds) on eBay last year so what's Engadgets problem with the Pre price?
Nokia sell 1M 5800 a month, so not so lame!

@Samboini, my wife's N95 runs very quickly. Perhaps you need to update the firmware :-)
People like to compare to the iPhone, but remember Nokia is more about function then form, so the 5800 can do the following that the iPhone (current version) can't:

- real turn-by-turn sat nav
- A2DP
- MMS
- video recording (at a blood good quality as well)
- cut'n'paste
- BT HID profile for BT keyboard
- FM radio built-in
- etc
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
