Zzzz, 08 Feb 2009Look at the coming phones from Samsung and LG: 8 Mpix camer... morewell man it's not that easy to capture market share! I know that samsung is making some really awesome technological mavels! But u see at last years saleand tell mehow many of innov8s or omnia was sold? Whereas nokia 5800 sold 1million copy in just two months though it wasn't released in most part of the world for 1.5months! Budy that's nokia! They know how to sell products! Well producing a product is one thing but marketing is a different ball game and nobody knowsit better than nokia! And you should not forget us faithful Noikians! We will not leave our "love" which has given us so many years of impeccable service, just because there is a new lady in the block! And another thing! Ur statistics are wrong! Nokia lost 11% of their market share! And that was mostly because world economy,and more competetively priced phones came out,where nokia used to be expensive! it's not only because samsung made innov8, though nokia made waymore profit than the previous year! Neways if u take my advice then just wait and watch! Nokia is coming out with blazing guns! And ya i congratulate samsung! They hav taken the revolution that nokia made to a whole new level! Wel competition makes the game more interesting! And the most profitbable from the war of cellphone companies will be us, "Consumers!"

        Look at the coming phones from Samsung and LG: 8 Mpix camera, Hd video recording,..etc. No surprise Nokia market is now 40% from 60% last year, and probably 20% next year ! Used to buy only Nokia, but now only Samsung !!!

          Anonymous, 08 Feb 2009The first phone, the Ericsson R380 was released using ER5u ... moreNote the '5'.

          So Symbian started with version 6?

          That's strange I always thought 5 came before 6.

          It's the same OS with a name change between version 5 and 6.

                  It's wonderfull with N97, i like touchschreen, big memory, qwerty keyboard. But i'm really disappointed with camera and Its office document. Nokia MUST MAKE OFFICE DOCUMENT EDITING PHONE. I'm looking forward with 8MP camera, with optical zoom and touchschreen with office document editing...

                        Get your facts right, you can check at Symbian.com, which is Symbian's website.

                        Or Wikipedia.

                          I just realised how big this phone will be, largely resembling a brick. Not so bad for girls who have hand bags but what will the guys do? Are mens pockets even big enough? What if it looks so big in your pocket people mistake it for your anatomy?

There ... moreWe have HD channels here in canada man XD but i'm saying on a phone that's too early since HD just came out a few years ago and is still considered farely new DvD was out for so long so they had a chance to explore DvD quality ...but like i said HD is too new to the world and especially the mobile industry...the HD phones now are bogus
                                      like look how long it took to make portable DvD players and then apply them to computers
                                      so how long do you really think will take for HD to really be on a phone let alot portable ?
