    Nokia was best,is best and will continue to be the best.
    Please dont go for drops/lay offs.It is the current need/demand to cope up with situation but that doesnt mean it is sleeping or doing nothing.
    Atleast i will never compare it with samsung.No chance.
    Just have faith in Nokia and keep Nokia spirit Alive.
    For all nokia fans.

      Nokia should
      1- faster its speed
      2- higher megapixel camera
      3- make its price lower
      i always vote for nokia but they are doing mistakes.

        Apple's success didn't come solely from phones. The company is in to many areas in electronic gadgets. Samsung also the same. Nokia & SE suffered mainly due to the fact, that they are main business scope is mobile handset manufacturing. So financial comparison between Apple vs. Nokia will not give the full picture.

But all N series are esentailly the same phone, all E series are the same phone, all 8 series are the same phone, all 1 series are the same phone, all 6 and 3 series are the same phone. I think the 5800 is the only odd one in there but its still a bag of sh1t. The only good phones made by Nokia at the moment are the 6300 and the 2630. Even then, the menus are not simple like SE or Apple.

                  Apple released 2 models in 2 years, can anyone / expert ever recall exactly how many (GSM) models released by the almighty brand in the past 12 months?

Ill give u a tip, if ur looking for dat kind of phone wid apps and media, get a fone with about 200MB RAM. Nokia run on 128MB which is like powering the earth wid a food blender, it jst a8 going to happen.

                              it's because they did not understand fast enough that I need touch screen like my G1, bigger screen, more programs

                                its just because nokia has started to manufacture its phone in china instead of finland and hungary!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      Nokia could do them selves a favor by immediately coming out with a 5850 Express Music with a 5 MP cam and all bugs of 5800 sorted out! Lots of fence sitters will jump onto Nokia wagon.
