Java Micro edition is dead. Symbian (70% of market is symbian OS) is dead. They just released QT for S60 hahaha Just laugh and have fun. Nokia idiots!! I will buy a IPhone asap, at least Apple has a consistent phone, not X millions of versions (like S60 FP1,FP2, 3rd, 5th, ecc...) ahahhah

Why has Nokia taken over 2 years to figure out S60 can't cut it anymore? Apple caught the industry flat footed. Why has Nokia taken over 2 years to figure out S60 can’t cut it anymore?

Nokia simply can't design GUI:s to save their lives, it seems. Maemo is an inconsistent mess and S60 is horrible too. I have fond memories of Symbian in the days it was still EPOC, in the Psion hand-held devices - clearly the 32-bit pre-emptively multitasking foundations of it are solid and time-tested. The GUI layer on top these days is trash though and has been for years now. Let's hope they actually manage to sort that stuff out.
