no matter how fast Android is growing.. It is still a mess. It does nothing well, period. It will be today's Symbian's situation in 5 year maybe sooner. Mark my words..

                  No one's had the guts to sue NOKIA from copying anything since they'rw the GIANT in this industry, counting in registered ownership, NOKIA have lots of them and they can even sue a number of phone manufacturers by copying them.

                  Why is everyone's so affected whenever NOKIA has something big to announce or release? if your loyalty is to android, then keep your face out of this post. that's all

                      Nokia doesn't pay much attention on their apps. that's why it loos fugly.

                        it's more simplistic than android. i like this one, it's much more cleaner. would switch on this if this platform got decent apps.

                          [deleted post]first of all, samsung did not represent all android.. :)
                          if you could tell me, which features that infringing nokia's patent? i don't care if it got android well known notification tray, it does help the users.. so be it..

                          to android fans : you scream so much when apple sue samsung, now you want to do exactly what apple did?

                            [deleted post]seems like GSMArena forgot Nokia's N900. It does the same things that this Belle does, and it came out before Android.

                                    at fanboy: yes, but until the 4th quarter of this year. we have to give nokia time to sell the Belle phones first.
