As much as I like the current feature-packed devices from Nokia, it’s hard to ignore the pretty devices from other companies. When it comes to the user interface, Nokia has already been surpassed by Apple and Palm. To make things worse, recent videos of the UI on the HTC Hero releasing July 15th makes the current Nokia lineup outdated. It’s obviously time for a facelift. When will we see the next Nokia device with a refreshing WOW factor?

Here’s a video from Slashgear showing a pre-production HTC Hero’s UI. It looks pretty and responsive. (Head to the blog if it’s not visible in your RSS readers)

Nokia fans, what do you think of this device?
