From The Creators Of The 6600 v3.41 Firmware Comes...

... a new book, "S60 Smartphone Quality Assurance - A Guide for Mobile Engineers and Developers". Reading that title for the first time did make me laugh out loud - and apparently it's going to be a serious book with more than 5 pages saying "don't do it like this". It is certainly unfair to complain about the occasional glitch in very complicated electronics released to tight deadlines in a fast paced market, but I think the S60 team can safely lay claim to more than the odd glitch - the 6600 is the worst example, but there are plenty more. You have to wonder which niche they are targetting with this effort :)
