AnonD-653106, 16 Mar 2017I really hope Nokia release one phone with Meego Harmattan ... moreYeah! I agree! Meego Harmattan UI was a breakthrough when launched in Nokia N9. It was ahead of its time. It was simple, unique, and natural.

I also missed Nokia Z launcher. It makes Android more productive and faster with minimalist UI.

      I really hope Nokia release one phone with Meego Harmattan UI on top of Android OS or just give option to the user to have Vanilla Android or Meego Harmattan UI. I just really missing the gestures of Meego with curve that works termendously.

                Another step in the right direction from HMD/Nokia although it was expected considering the pure Android running in the new Nokia smartphones.

                  Anonymous, 15 Mar 2017whats the use of having secure deviceNot getting your bank accounts stolen? Not getting your email login details stolen? Not getting your digital wallet money stolen? Not getting your contacts stolen? Not getting your device locked remotely?

                  How can you even ask the question you've asked? I get it that some people only use their smartphones to do calls and play games, but most of use use our phones for much more than that. And security is a must.

                            What is up with promises and security updates? Are these devices used as servers or what. Ensure better hardware that is your main job.

Apple never discloses its security flaws to the public, giving it's buyers a false sense of security. At least Google opens up it's flaws so more than just Google are working to fix it.

                                  As long as it's running on Android, even daily security updates will mean nothing, as the OS is flawed and currently the most insecure one out of the three. (Windows, iOS, Android)

                                    "Our products will receive Android updates and monthly security updates(for upto two months after launch)"

                                    Not saying that Nokia can't deliver updates, but literally every phone manufacturer says this, and they made such a vague comment. Nothing to write home about until we actually see this happening.

                                      Not only Nokia is good in terms of performance and build quality, it seems like it's good at keepimg phones up to date. Good job Nokia
