It's clear, if you want a WP7 phone than get a HTC. Nokia will fill it with bloat and never realease any update, forcing you to new models.

Been there, done that, never coming back to Nokia.

      CC, 17 Feb 2011Far too little and far too late. Nokia will be history!are you telling me that it (nokia) grew like an elephant and could not look at its feet and now feeling that there is no ground its trying to grab some ground with the help of WMOS7 ?? and its not too late.. they can come up if they try.. at least by changing their programmers.. the 1000 guys who walked out must never be invited in.. fresh batch of programmers are required..

      what they need to do..

      - have better HW (not some 680 mhz get a ghz)
      - DO NOT TWEAK FW LIKE YOUR WISH!!
      - and not changing the phone build quality (nokia phones wont break easily.. atleast survive many heavy drops.. wont they?? unlike samsung and SE who go to the trash at the first fall)

              Does this mean that we'll get an OS that remains unchanged for the next several years?

                Nokia are desperate. Symbian is now devalued, and no sign of Meego yet.

                Nokia really should have adopted Android.

                  Why let Nokia customise the UI? Their UI for Symbian isn't that good. If I were MS I'd rather let HTC customise the UI. Nokia can work on things under the hood.

                      If this is an exclusive to Nokia, then Android wins. Other manufacturers will abandon WM 7.

                                      stop yakking and get that phone out in the market already. time is the essence here and the longer it take to come out with that wp nokia phone the faster nokia cellphone shares will go down.
