I think Nokia knows this, that's why they're apparently trying to move away from just being hardware to being software and services (though not being totally successful at that either). ............ ............ As for the price - considering a lot of these features aren't new, it shouldn't cost that much, and could be feasible for it to appear in the standard upper Nseries price bracket. There are handsets planned/already available that also aren't going to be astromically priced, but will have a lot of features aforementioned in the post. E.G. the Samsung Pixon 12.

Nokia doesn't just need to keep to levels they've previously achieved (at least in their flagship), they need to be matching what's becoming the standard across other manufacturers, matching what they've been able to offer.

Good points there.
The N95 > N95 8GB was sort of a minor upgrade. A tad bigger screen, 8GB internal, bigger battery – there was nothing new about it.

For something with the features you mentioned would be a thrill to own. One thing you did not mention was the problem of a phone I have and it has the worst signal problems I have ever had and that is with the Nokia N85. If I could have a phone with the features you wrote about and the audio and signal quality of the 6310i, it would be great in my opinion. I have about ten or twelve Nokia phones dating back to the TDMA days. I have been hoping for Nokia to come out with a Xenon flash but I personally have not seen one yet. Maybe you have. It would have been nice if the N97 had one, which I do own one. I think the color on the display could be better. Perhaps they will improve on the N97. I could go on and on, but I should call it a night. Thank you. I enjoyed your comments and if there were a phone with such capabilities I would be one of the first to purchase it.

But you never know, as with the example of the Nokia N95's update to the N95-8GB was a welcome change! ow and i forgot to mention something like this would probably cost in the region of £1000 and no network would ever offer it on any tariff free! this would be the ultimate device…why nokia will never make it…is once a phone like this is make, they will be ridiculed for making anything better which is no more than an updated version of that ultimate phone.
