Nokia’s decision to switch from Symbian to Windows Phone 7 might not have been met with glee from many developers, but the company looks to be addressing its coding community in a decent way........more

It seems fanboyism is not reserved to consoles and teenage boys. Never underestimate MS and joining with the biggest and best handset manufacturer is a great move that come September the smart phone market is going to be shaken up by its force you wait and see.

              There will be wery small quantity of symbian users who will go for windows, and they might chose rather android as competitor if there is no better choice, and decause of andtoid succes lately.
              Lot of symbian users now, previous winmo users and they desserted it because of better symbian usability, and believe or not, non of them will ever go for win7.

                    With the agreement between Nokia and Microsoft, both companies are going to rock.

                    Now Microsoft gave Nokia the gree light to modify the interface of the OS, and it will be only for Nokia. So that is going to make Nokia WP7 phones scpecial and different that those from companies not allowed to change the UI.

                    Plus, if you are saying WP7 is not successful, how do you know that?

                    The OS have been in the market for a very few months now, and it is still developing and catching up. Do not forget that Microsoft started the OS from ZERO. So its a completely new and different platform int he market now.

                    Give it some time and it will rip the face of Android off, and it will be the 2nd best OS in the planet, after iOS4.

                    Do not speak out of ignorance, and give things time to prove itself. WP7 is not going to oversell Android in two or three months, having in mind Anrdoid have been around for years now.

                      nokialover, 19 Feb 2011if they give this free e7's qualities will come down , i me... moreLoooL ... Lose its quality! ... So if you were the first one to get the expensive high quality E7 ... and after that 10,000 software developers get it for free ... Is your E7 gonna lose quality? ... I mean is it gonna become plastic rather than Aluminum? ... Is the battery life gonna decrease? ... Is the Gorilla Screen gonna become Elephant Screen? ...

Besides, how would a huge number of people having an E7 reduce quality? It's not like the phone would magically degrade in quality when more people have the same unit.

                            well, I have been long Motorola user, and I have tried after Q9 many other mobile OS. Reading all posts in last year, I am thinking that people, especially in US are completely losing the main reason for mobile phone, telephoning! Touch screen often needs two hands for phoning if you want to make a call.. Even the best phone camera is not so powerful comparing with cheap or better real one! Touch smartphones are good for having larger displays, but believe me QWERTY kbd is much better than tipping on display without feeling of move (remember simillar PC keyboards). Being on Facebook of tweeter all day? Are you working smth else, like business, school...
                            Any phone OS is good with all pros and cons, depending what you really want from phone. Other part of story is provider and their service and prices especially in Europe! 3/3.5/4G net... quite expensive, file, video, music transfer, again needs certain costs! If you are not changing phones like shirts, well, many phones are excellent. If does, well, there is no good phone for you!

                              Nokia, Nokia, you signed a deal with someone who will be like you in a few years because - they are too complacent in the number 1 position and the smartphone market of WP7 is already lost. Nokia with windows? sorry seems I might not get a nokia for a long time.. maybe never

                                wp7 vs. s6o or symbian 3 vs. android vs. ios...it is a matter of a preference on what OS you like!!
