    WP7 on Nokia outdated hardware with their slow cpu and only 256 mb ram will only force even more Symbian users to the many less expensive Androids. WP7 is far, very far, from as good as Android, and Android is fast evolving to be even better while WP7 have not yet reached Android 2.1.

      It is fine if the phone is cheaper to try and get people
      on board to buy it. but there can not be a drop in features
      and build quality.

      People are expecting a brilliant camera from Nokia and and a metal build quality in the vain of Htc anything less and it wont be worth it

            I hold nothing against Microsoft, but Windows Phone 7 stand no chance (from my point of view). Sure, the user interface is unique and all that stuff but it's to sober. The homescrees has 2 color (black + another color that can be changed); you can't set a wallpaper for the homescreen. And that awkward interface, just like a big bord that need to be scrolled... it's sluggish. I'd rather go for iOS.
            For now i'll stick with Nokia (N900) but after that i'll go for Android (probably Galaxy S II or Motorola Atrix).

              I see how Nokia reach out for their loyal symbian fanbase. Of course the 680 mhz and 256 mb of ram ( oh it is the minimum amount of ram for wp7) will be updated. im sure these lowend wp7 phones will have 800 mhz - 1 ghz and 3.5" up. also 512 mb of ram.
