Stupid US centric viewpoint. Explain then how did Nokia sold 16.4 million S60 smartphones just last quarter?

Oct 15th 2009 2:58PM Why are you listing old models from a couple of years ago dumbass?
Nokia has many phones because they create different devices for different market and regions and demographics. That is how they succedd. For us geeks, you will only need to be concerned with a couple of models. You think people on low income in third world would be interested in N900 or E72? Nope. That is why they have 1000, 2000 and 3000 series for them. Nokia caters not only to pretend geeks like you.
Some of the models you listed are not available in all countries, just like cars, TVs and whatever. Look at Acer, Dell and whatever. They have countless of models and sub-models with different codes for even the slightest difference in specifications like RAM amount.

Yes there are, around the world. Where are you from? The US? Perhaps not. But in many countries around the world, Nokia is a huge brand with many fans - even those who just buys S40 (their none-smartphone platform) phones.

Oct 15th 2009 9:23AM Click a lot? On my S60 device, nine of my favourite apps can be accessed via just a single button press. The others are only a couple of clicks away.

Oct 15th 2009 9:03AM "I think Nokia should look to that for their future devices rather than spending all their R&D on developing a new OS."
Oh ffs, you really are clueless.
Nokia has been developing Maemo for many many years. It isn't as new as it seems. The Maemo platform has existed for a couple of years BEFORE Android, way back in 2005.

Oct 15th 2009 8:52AM Obviously I have nothing against Nokia introducing a new platform. S60 was once new, though it is now mature enough to power most of Nokia's none-touchscreen mid-range devices. I myself am looking forward to future Maemo devices, but until they can get it onto small sub-100g mid-range devices, S60 (and future Symbian^2 and up) will continue to exist simply because the market demands it.
Not everyone wants a touchscreen phone, and Nokia knows this.
