Nokia - Bye!

[nicholas]

Aye, the E72 is nice but I curse the thing often for its slowness. In a way it is good that Symbian has been put out of its misery and buried.

I think the pre-Elop strategy of getting all the Symbian coders to develop for Qt on Symbian and then migrate to Qt on Meego was a great idea.

It might even have saved them but we'll never know.

RIP Nokia.

The latest nokia phones with symbian belle (500, 700,701, 808) are faster than many android phones and symbian belle ft2 too, symbian isnt just a 7650, n-gage or N70 by example.

I loved my N80 and my Black N95-8GB phones, wonderful devices and I could do pretty everything I do with the Android phones I've had over the last 4 years.

Here's hoping that Jolla is succesful and gets bought by Nokia and transformed into a new Nokia phone divison to compete with MS.

It's funny you should say that, I just said that to my brother yesterday in an email. I suggested Nokia could use the billions from Microsoft to buy Jolla.

Oh that would make me laugh so much!

No matter, I will be buying a Jolla as soon as it comes out to replace my still in use N95. It will be my first non Nokia, though really it is Nokia in spirit.

I'm due an upgrade in a couple of weeks as my contract is nearly up.  I thinking of just taking a SIM only deal and putting the money saved each month away until i've got enough to buy a Jolla phone.
