Nokia N95 had an impressive media menu [1] where you could select music, internet, radio, navigation apps and what-not, it was great for it's time. They even had a gaming figured out at one point, if I am not mistaken even with a store for their n-gage games. So yeah, I don't agree that they avoided building a truly personal computer, but at the same time they still managed to screw up everything.

N95 was the first Nokia model where OpenGL ES was fully hardware accelerated and not using software rendering, by the way.

It had a quite cool launch demo with Asphalt,

Remember that this are PS like graphics on a phone.

Nowadays there are plenty of WebGL games that aren't half as good.
