      hopefully they fix the keyboard layout....i never liked the fact that the keyboard is tooooooooo crowded. theres a reason why ppl like portrait qwerty for apple, its a breeze to use. it only has the important letters in the keyboard. i mean, IT IS based on a normal keyboard layout....

      if they want to accomodate other letters, i think it should be a function key.

                    [deleted post]I totally hear what you are saying and you are 100% accurate with your comment... I have worked in cellular for the past 16+ years and no one stays on top forever. It was the same for Motorola..everyone wanted a motorola flip back in the day(anyone remember those prices), but when the PCS network came out they still focused on the flip phone selling feature while other companies like Nokia and Ericsson came out hardware to match the new tech. That was when I first noticed the decline with Motorola. People just think Symbian is not at a competitive level anymore.

                      Awesome update.

                      I dont know why there are so many Symbian haters out here. Nokia would produce Win7/S^1/S^3/S40 devices, so if you dont want the S^3 then wait for the Phone 7 or stay with your Android/iOs/WebOS. Jeez, grow up people!

                            Hello, I criticised Nokia for its inept handling of legacy Symbian phones not so long ago on this thread. Was not published. Would you like me to post my Nokia mobile phone model again, IMEI, and my name and adress so that we can cheer GSMARENA for its transparency when criticising mobile manufacturers?

                            p.s. my comment goes viral
