Go and buy e.g. Motorola then if you think its any better. Oh, they are just cutting 4000 jobs. Perhaps people didn't like their phones after all...

For those of you drooling over Nokia's sleek looking benign smart phones that precariously uses Symbian OS, I have a suggestion for you: go to your local hardware store and purchase a steel handle claw hammer since it is very likely to come in handy because it would be more gratifying to watch the device adhere to mechanical physics than to return it after being disappointed in realizing that it doesn’t keep the duration of each of your scrupulously billed phone calls. The icons and menus are collectively an abysmal maze of serendipity. I could fill a kilometer-long scroll with shortcomings if I had to. I own an E71 and the only pros about the phone are the battery life and its size; it’s the epitome of a dumb phone being dubbed as smart.

I'm not sure why Nokia, who makes excellent low end or mainstream phones, continues to release devices intended to be smart with such horrendous usability. I’ve written off all Nokia’s smartphones – am I the only one who was waiting impatiently for a new user interface to end this longing regret of a financial investment?

I don’t see these devices leading to any viable market share increase for Nokia. At least Palm, given their dire situation which tends to bring out creativity in earthlings, had an epiphany and awoke with an OS that looks promising although time will be the only wager. I think it’s the moment for someone or something to defibrillate Nokia.
