Nokia makes good hardware and good low-end phones. But their smart phones falls short of being, ehem, smart. I think Meego is great and can rival the phone from the fruit that makes phones with flaky reception, as well as the others. But Nokia is walking a thin rope by forcing their users to join/register with their online community after firmware updates. That's just dumb.

Symbian is not quite dead yet - as it still reigns supreme at the low-end. It's the technology that enables Nokia to deliver a phone with a 1 week battery life for a tenner.

The problem with Symbian is that it just does not scale all that well to the high-end.

This sends a powerful warning to anybody considering buying a Symbian N-series phone... you just bought the end of a line. From now on, Symbian will be for the low-end devices only.

Everything.
