              i think nokia are losing the market, they thought they own the market, they start to produce cheap phones.
              Even their join venture with Microsoft was not good to bring them back their old repetition, if I were them ill conceder android as the best option to improve their products.

                Sorry, but im just so not interested in nokia and wp7. Unless you're going for your own ecosystem, ah la symbian or meego, you're just another hand set manufacturer with a generic OS. Argue all you want, but that's the state of it. Nokia will turn into the handset arm of MS unless they have their own independant ecosystem of apps / software. I'll hang with nokia for the N9 if it looks right in the stores, after that its farewell.

                      good hardware is the key to good performance, no matter how good the softwares installed in a phone is if its battery, processor, ram, display, and so on is not that of the "apple" ones, its not good enough. i wish nokia will focus on their hardwares, especially the battery and ram. i would like to see nokia build a dual core processor not exceeding 1ghz (for power efficiency), at least 1gb ram, at least a "li-po" 2500mah battery, SAMOLED screen not exceeding 3.3" in diagonal (so that the phone would consume less power), a gpu with processing speed just like that of a psp, and of course it can support a memory card, has wlan, at least a 5mp auto-focus camera with xenon flash, most importantly is open sourced.

                        GrainySnapshot, 12 Sep 2011It is absolutely amazing that Stephen Elop announced that N... moreit is a bit surprising, but I think it's because Nokia spun S^3 off to Accenture, who is clearly better at OS development than Nokia. Maybe they should have done it sooner?

                        In any case, it's good that they're not just leaving their loyal customers on the kerb with a dead horse! :--D

                          It is absolutely amazing that Stephen Elop announced that Nokia's focus is to move to Windows Phone 7 and since then, Symbian has had a more active and fertile time than ever before. Also, despite his announcement, Nokia's first Meego device looks amazing to everyone who has seen it. I cannot wait for Nokia and Microsoft next to announce jointly that all Microsoft apps will be made available for Meego. Stevo says "Oh sure, they're dead, but we want the corpses to look nice".

                                Proof symbian is not dead and still surviving. I wish Nokia will continue using it's own trademark OS and keeping it up with great updates and I'm sure they'll surpass Android and iOS in the future.
