Android does not have this consistency and it severely harms the end result in terms of having a quality cusomter experience, in my opnion. Many have said Samsung feels 'plasticky' compared to the Nokia N8. Which reminded me of the fact that many attributed the success of the iPhnoe to it's design. Now I dare you to look at the E7 and compare it to your iPhone 4 or Samsung Galaxy and have an honest, unbiased, side-by-side review of it's design and tell me which you like best.. Some people may say Nokia's UI is old, yet for over a billion people in the world it is a trusted interface, one they recoqnize and feel comfortable with when upgrading to their next device. The numbers prove thatis exactly what they are doing. A good 400 million people MORE decided to buy a Nokia phone than an iPhone. 170 million people more than Samsung decided to go with Nokia. Don't underestimate the importance of a consistantly predicable user expeience. The Symbian OS is vastly underrated.

Nokia has had problems since the terrible N97. The US is their weakest market area, and there are couple of blogs who look things from the US perspective. Well US is great and leading nation in tech world, but they have they own giants like Apple and Google, and they are nationalist too like most of the people are. Combine all this and Nokia does not get the respect it deserves in US or blogs published there, even if its still the market leader in terms of number of smartphone devices sold. Yes, the recent announcement from Catalyst of Android passing Symbian was not true, even if that will happen within 6 months time in 2011 probably. Conclution, Nokia needs to improve a lot, clarify OS strategy and get back their position in top devices. There are many people thinking Nokia still makes the best phones out there. I just picked C7 over GalaxyS and iPhone 4. For me the latest Symbian feels the best choice. However I admit Nokia is not a clear winner even for me, in the time of N95 a few years ago there was no competition if you wanted the best 'multimedia phone' out there.

Beside, Nokia have a close tie with Microsoft regarding software development. Remember that recent Symbian and Meego redesign decision using QT/QT quick was heavily influenced by MS actually...

To buy some time for Meego, WP7 MIGHT be a temporary solution or a long term cooperation as an ALTERNATIVE ONLY. Symbian is the LEAST OS that Nokia is likely to dump in the near future. We have seen the potential of QT UI on Symbian with yesterday's bubble app, right? But future will belong to Meego if Nokia are able to deliver it properly...

The whole world is anti-Nokia, and Nokia is a superb, cutting-edge company with world-changing products Symbian and Meego) that continues to dominate the smartphone market. OR 2. Nokia is spiraling down in smartphone share (and feature phones are rapidly becoming Smartphones). Symbian and Meego are as good as dead. Nokia desperately needs a new smartphone OS approach and has done for years but the Nokia corporate wars and fanbois have blinded them to this. Gizmodo and Engadget are just doing their reporting job and pointing out the obvious. Maybe we should wait until Feb 11 and find out if 1 or 2 are correct? If Elop announces that the plan is to continue full speed ahead on Symbian, Meego, QT etc then I'll abase myself to the current Nokia temple. If Elop announces that Nokia is going to use Android or Windows Phone 7 then hopefully you fanbois will accept that your stubborn defense of Nokia has been not only wrong but has actually hurt the company by supporting the dinosaurs who favored Symbian, Meego and QT and badly delayed Nokia's introduction of a proper modern smartphone OS.
