Maybe it's the lack of a banging soundtrack (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/symbian-s-3-officially-announced-previewed-on-video/), but we're finding ourselves somewhat underwhelmed by these first video appearances by Symbian's highly anticipated (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/nokia-promises-to-take-symbian-user-interface-to-a-new-level-i/) S^4 user interface.
