[deleted post]Since you're the expert on the almighty brand's products, why this company constantly releasing so called "new" models, where the targeted consumers cannot tell / care the differences between the old and the new models?
Do you really think these consumers really care the differences between 1100/1200/12xx/1600/16xx etc...? If not, why keep releasing new models? So the unsold old models (and the manuals, chargers, etc...) can be sent to landfills in 3rd world countries to "create jobs" there?
What a company!

2. And good point. I find senseless to release this "new" devices when they specs are almost the same as phones released one or two years ago. Maybe the only difference is that now they released a slider one. :/
Anyway, I wouldn't call Nokia the almighty anymore.

- Why whenever the almighty brand releases such low end phones, they get reported / the publicity here? How about other brands? I'm sure other brands have been releasing a bunch of low end phones from time to time as well, why don't they get reported here?
- Why the almighty brand keeps on releasing so called "new models" when users of such low end phones probably don't know / care the differences between a 1100/1600/1616 etc...?

Nokia user, 05 Nov 2009In short nokia cannot compete the other phone manufacturer ... moreSo then Samsung, Motorola, LG, Sony Ericsson, etc. are going backward because they are also manufacturing low end phones for the people that don't want to break their heads with a high end one. Well, that's what I understand about your logic.
As I said. Not all the world wants a smartphone. Many people just need phones for their basic features.
Also I'll put a nick myself, don't want to hide behind Anonymous like many fanboys here.

Instead of buying one of those small usb mp3 players for just a little more you can pretty much get a cell with mircoSDHC support and basic cam.
good combination

I take back the pics/vid part. But really, buying a smartphone for call and text only is blasphemy.
