      What's the point of reporting this? Symbian OS is as good as dead now that Nokia have said they are going with WP7 now and into the future. Supporting three OSes (WP7, Symbian and Maemo/MeeGo) is a mammoth task even for a big company like Nokia - they've clearly opted to drop Symbian completely, concentrate on WP7 for the short to mid term (in mobile terms) and see if they can coax more life out of Maemo/MeeGo on the back burner.

              Its now too late for them to recognize that their OS looks outdated and requires a change, at least to the front homescreen.

              Aint Nokia people aware that there is iOS4 and Android in the market now adays?!

              But nice job after all ... Wishihg you the best Nokia, and hoping you will rock with WP7 and its customization ... WP7 look cool now, don't make it look like Symbian!
