        Nokia don't need POS called iToons to transfer music files. Only card reader. And bT. Same goes for other file transfers.

        Apple fans laugh at nokia boys without knowing that Steve Jobs is rolf-ing in his office because he made another ripoff from the technically backwards consumers.

        For ubt/fbt, a max credit of P9 is needed. Who needs wifi.

          sekundes @_@, 28 Oct 2009can you do UBT and FBT on yer shiny new HTC? cant do @_@ ... moreDon't be so silly :) WinMo sucks on looks, but it's more powerful than symbian. WinMo is much more complex, you are trying to compare HTC WinMo and Android againist symbian like symbian is better than java. What symbian can bring better than them than 16 mil. colors? Symbian reached its maximum, that's why Nokia will use Maemo, but again. Bad built quality, so buggy and hackable symbian againist quality built device and most customizable OSes? No, it can't be better. If not WM HTC then get HTC Hero :)

                  In the third quarter 2009, the total mobile device volumes of our Devices & Services group were 108.5 million units, representing a decline of 8% year on year and a 5% increase sequentially. The overall industry mobile device volumes for the same period were 288 million units based on Nokia's preliminary estimate, representing a 7% year on year decrease and a 7% sequential increase. The lower device volumes year on year for Nokia and the industry continued to be driven by the negative impact of the deteriorated global economic conditions. The sequential industry device volume increase primarily reflected an improved demand environment for mobile devices. In addition, Nokia's device volumes for the third quarter 2009 were somewhat constrained by component shortages across the portfolio, which are expected to continue to some degree in the fourth quarter 2009.

                  Of the total industry mobile device volumes, converged mobile device industry volumes in the third quarter 2009 were 47.0 million units, based on Nokia's preliminary estimate, compared with an estimated 44.2 million units in the third quarter 2008 and 41.0 million units in the second quarter 2009. Our own converged mobile device volumes were 16.4 million units in the third quarter 2009, compared with 15.5 million units in the third quarter 2008 and 16.9 million units in the second quarter 2009. Nokia's share of the converged mobile device market was an estimated 35% in the third quarter 2009, at the same level as in the third quarter 2008 and down from 41% in the second quarter 2009. We shipped 4.5 million Nokia Nseries and 4.4 million Nokia Eseries devices during the third quarter 2009, down from the combined 9.3 million Nseries and Eseries devices we shipped in the second quarter 2009."

                            Even if you subtract US sales Apple still sold almost as many iPhones as Nokia sold n-series phones.

                                They use a lot of Bluetooth headsets and speakers, usually they are cheaper than the fines.
