            [deleted post]Of course i have things to say. But i cant believe that there are still people that keep bashing on Nokia when they themselves dont even use or have smartphone from Nokia. By reading news alone u cant judge the decision made by a company. U say that the Symbian Belle look like toy? For me, iPhone looks more like a toy. And with Microsoft now even further let their apps use in Symbian shows that Symbian is not pathetic company but a company that r on their way to recover back. Why keep on saying that Nokia should follow HTC, should Samsung or use Android? If anybody like HTC, buy HTC phone.

                OMG! There are so many pricks in this page alone. If you don't have any sensible thing to say related to the article can you please leave this board and go to your own board and bring your Android nonsense with you! It's our money. We'll buy any smartphone we want. Don't force feed us with your Android crap!

                  to good to be true all the news that just spitting out from Nokia.
                  Nokia N9 to be released all over the world and suport to 2017 wirh several firm ware upgrades. Belle rolling out sooner than we could have guessed and they get really great reviews.
                  Now a new Symbian Belle flagship follower to N8 which sold quiet well.
                  There is no doubt anymore, nokia is coming back. And now this superb software fro mMicrosoft.

                  Well I just say, buy Nokia shares now. Not later on. You must understand that Nokia have been working their asses off since last winter.

                  Really fabolous rebound in marketing and innovations, haven´t seen this for 5-7 years.

                  goosebombs now.

                          siddy, 09 Sep 2011LOlz...baseless stories...if whatever ur saying is true...t... morenokia will really leave symbian in future.. they will invest on wp7..

                          nokia used to be good, and even the best.. but their thoughts began to slow down and now they're outdated.. they thought that if they will make android-like icons, they still have a chance.. but the symbian belle product turns out be just like a cartoon, a TOY.. poor nokia..

                          nokia should be like htc(im not an htc fan).. htc has android and windows phone..if nokia will let down symbian, do they think wp7 can handle them forever? maybe if windows will be exclusive to them, but not..pathetic company..

                              This is a great plus for Symbian phones: Microsoft mobile office applications are by far the best you can ask.

                                AnonD-7027, 09 Sep 2011being optimistic is a good thing.. but you also have to be ... moreIts pretty sad that people who call themselves Nokia fans/Symbian fans, didn't know that Nokia had already stated that they will discontinue symbian eventually.

                                They pray and preach Nokia but they don't know what Nokia had decided to embrace WP7.

                                      how can you say that android will fade? its the most popular and most used os in the world..its impossible to be faded..

                                      nokia announced they will soon leave symbian and just focus and wp7..and that will be their last chance..

                                        LOL!

                                        Nothing gonna happen, s60^3 will be vanished soon right after nokia got wm7... Yeah, Iagree s60 is good enough as smart phone operating system. BUT, not best or even better than android. Android is the true power! I used both. By the way, Android is for very advance users, noobs always complaints about what they cant use, even dont use.
