    Number of phone's Nokia has customized for operators = millions.

    Customized firmware and logo's painted on the cases's.

    Vodafone, Orange, T-mobile, TIM, O2, AT&T, Telstra, Optus, Three, Virgin, over the last five years I've seen all these and many more.

    Everything from SIM locking, start up screens, icons, soft key shortcuts, browser settings (including the homepage), screensavers, ringtone's, backgrounds and icon's all customized the way the operator wants, settings are disabled, you can't delete certain things.

    Often the only way to get rid of it is to flash the firmware, then you risk the chance of turning your handset into a brick and it's goodbye warranty.

        I call BS on Nokia on this one. Cause if its aimed at the social net work users you would want to get the phone free a £35 contract cause thats what most people have but I doubt it will be free on that price.

              My experience is," don't buy a nokia phone at nokiausa.com." they will ship to you a use phone while u pay for the new phone. they won't let you exchange or return the phone.

                            Called TouchPark(TM), the new framework will run on leading operating systems (Symbian, Windows Mobile, and Android) and semiconductor platforms, including Texas Instruments Zoom, Freescale i.MX, and ST Nomadic -- demonstrating Stantum's ability to implement its multi-touch panel technology in standard environments. Stantum also provides all the necessary software bricks to take advantage of this technology, including low-level software layers to communicate with the multi-touch panel.

                                      Do you mean pinch to zoom on capacitive touch is not allowed, but if on resistive touch is allowed?

                                      Nokia should care more about this issue?
