Nokia's on fire. They've got sweet product placement in Cloverfield. They've got new web2.0 services like Qik practically dependent on them. And they've got something the iPhone doesn't have: video.
You can trick your iPhone into recording video. And some future software release (or the next iPhone) will surely include this. But for now - Nokia's taking advantage of the situation. They're even (supposedly) putting together a nice deal with Facebook. They've found features and benefits that offer something the iPhone can't - and are doing everything they can to make you want them. That's marketing. Awesome.

Nokia can get placement in every JJ Abrahms project & add in all the wireless Facebooking, MySpacing, Friendstering they want. Symbian, their platform, simply can't compete with Apple. It's ugly, plain & simple.
Actually the Nokia N95 could be called stunning -- and it's the first cell I've seen with a sweet 5 megapix Carl Zeiss lens that looks like it belongs on a Leica.
The real point is sexy glass sliver designs are becoming a commodity, so the scales are tipping to usability and bandwidth. There are only so many ways to present a big screen, a fine camera, and a little keyboard. Nokia is leap-frogging Apple by focusing on the enhanced utility -- easier upload, DVD quality video -- and faster uploads/downloads that makes the iPhone temporarily obsolete.
