Nokia is getting more 'Sony Ericsson' oriented by the day. Their phones, their firmware.. copy cats. And are we really looking for a phone which can play Gameboy Color quality games? Didn't they learn with NGage?
While I agree that Nokia hardware styling is getting similar to S-E's, you can't say that S-E came up with some of the new features seen in their latest feature phone OS.
The new 3 soft key UI on the K850 for example has been used since S40 3rd (2005). And today screen has been used on MS's Pocket PC for years.
The N81 (like the N95, N93 and some other recent high-end Nokias) has a fairly powerful 3D graphics accelerator chip. At least in theory, the new games ought to be closer to a PSP in quality rather than a Gameboy Color.

Well Paul if so they should have used a better example because the shoot em up looks pretty 16-bit to me.

Dont really know what you are talking about - SE copies Nokias styling a few years back - it goes in circles.
