It will be important to have a stylus as that will help CEO's and the likes of us to jot down notes in our own handwriting.... we still use sharpened pencils you see.

              Well, good to have them once again doing a cracking good job... I'm using a iPod Touch, battery became retarded in less than a year(unable to hold charge overnight), now, luckily it's within warranty period. Now, to those who praises it, well, if your battery does that after warranty, now, you reckon you gonna change it easily your self by going down a store, grab a spare battery (how's that sound when your in the middle of nowhere with no 7-11 around?)

              Overall, it has good features and bad, some like it, some don't. I rather keep to my own views and at times friends ask me, i put it objectively, they want it or not, well, so be it. rem: there's no 7-11 in the middle of a flight. =p

                      David, 26 Dec 2008Nokia is still the top dogin this year by outselling their ... moreIf Nokia didn't care why have they suddenly started making touchscreen S60 phone's.

                      Apple is where the biggest profits are, smartphone's, Nokia's share of this market dropped, they sold less in the year up to Q3 2008 than the same period in 2007.

                      Symbian sales dropped below 50% for the first time in years.

                      btw without Texas Instruments OMAP processors there would be no N-series.

                        cce, 26 Dec 2008Ah! one more thing to Mr. David (Do you wanna know how man... moreSmartphones != All Phones.

                        iPhone is not competing with 200 million cheap, low end phones.
                        Nokia are Losing smartphone sales which is the area where most profits are made.

                        Wooh! Nokia can make how much from selling a $30 phone to someone in India?

                        How many sales does it take to equal the profit from one iPhone?

                        Without Texas Instruments OMAP processors the N-Series and E-Series would not exist.

                        Good ol' American technology run's your God!

                          Ah! one more thing to Mr. David (Do you wanna know how many units Nokia has sold in only in 2008 up till Aug, 237 million units, and 438 million units in 2007 when Iphone came out.) If you are reading this, you are talking nonsense, don’t look the quantity, look the value, Nokia can or maybe sell trillions of gsm but if the value is low, then what is the f*cking point of selling mass production and not to forget Apple has only 2 phones on the market vs nokia has really a lot of phones plus the rest of other companies also. I rather sell one apple with price of 5€/pc than 1 kilo of peer with a price of 1ct/pc. No wonder why nokia close down lots branches worldwide.

                              [deleted post]Nokia is still the top dogin this year by outselling their closest rival Samsung by 200 million units in the forst 6 months of 2008. It's a laugh comparing Iphones 0.4% market share to Nokias almost 40%. How is iphone putting a dent in Nokia when iphone sold 6 million units in 2007 and Nokia sold like 430 million units. Iphone has sold like 4 million Iphone 3g so far in 2008 and Nokia has sold like 240 miioion units only the forst half of the year. I know it's kinda depressing to own something tha could be made by toysRus, but stop making up stuff. Iphone competing with Nokia, haha, that made my day. That's the problem with Iphone users, that they think it's a competition. Let me make one thing straight, Ericsson, Samsung, Lg and Apple may compete with eachother, like rivals do. Nokia don't have any rivals, they don't compete, they dominate. So all you other smalltimer can have you little squabbles with eachother, i honestly think that Nokia don't care, and they don't even fart Iphones direction.

                                [deleted post]Hey, i will help you a bit, you said Iphone had 10-12% od the market share, which is being quite generous too Apple. Iphone and Iphone 3G has altogether sold about 10 million units since it's relaese lsst year, And that's not 10% aof the market share, that's 0.4% of the market share according to Forbes Buisness Weekly.

                                    That doesn't seem to leave much room for HTML, PHP, etc.

                                      Nokia's share of this market FELL, i.e. they sold LESS in 2008 than they did in 2007.

                                      Symbian market share also FELL to below 50% for the first time in many years.

                                      To say Nokia is NOT worried about this is to deny reality.

                                      I think I'll EDIT some Excel spreadsheets on my iPhone, Quickoffice just updated their Mobifiles App.

                                        It's funny how you made the other guy shut his mouth and than he tried to change his story. LOL!

                                        The iphone is just alot of hype, thier main consumers are loyal customers who have been using apple products for a long time.
