They just started with their 1GHz CPU while others have launched it more than a year back. Hardware wise, HTC, Samsung, SE, Apple, Motorola and even LG better that of Nokia. Most of them have some 1080P recording in their sleeves, Nokia doesn't.

                    Symbian User, 11 Feb 2011thank's for info nokia is sheep nowI believe the rumor and I don't believe Nokia's rebuttal. It's the American investors who pulled the strings at Nokia that put Elop into power. Anssi Vanjoki was primed to ascend back then and I was surprised to learn that a Nokia outsider (Elop, the trojan horse) was chosen to become the new CEO.

                          always loved nokia. owned nothing else even still use the 5800 but have to say i am dissappointed. nokia has now become "one of them" nothing unique. they have killed symbian simply put. and chosen of all OSs in the world windows phone 7! closed like apples iOS. sorry to say, and i did think i would. MY NEXT PHONE IS AN ANDROID!!!!! way to pay us for all the loyalty Nokia!

                            This is BIG and for sure BAD news. As someone rightly said, this is the beginning of the end. I bought Nokia N8 and sure do love it.

                            But this news has just thrown out Symbian of radar, so i think we should just dream about the update being rumored, just got a stupid update wherein the only major visual change is the dialer in landscape mode.

                            This is my last nokia phone, its a BIG BIG win for Samsung and other rivals.....

                            Good Bye Nokia, now dont feel like using my N8 also. Will start looking for options, most probably will settle for Galaxy S or Desire HD.

                              at first looks like MS is the winner here but this could work fine for both, Nokia has good hardware a WP7 great potencial, would like to have seen this jointventura back in the days...WM on e-series...

                                It's about time Nokia had to do something or they were facing oblivion, after the last few years of flagship phones that were absolute junk we might see Nokia get back to being an innovative leader.
