Where manufacturers as HTC try to hide the ugly beast that is WinMo, Symbian doesn't have something similair. Add the lack of good third party apps to that, why do you think that Nokia Itself develops so many apps for devices like the E71? Last but not least is the business usage which practically is WinMo's life support, in contrary to Symbian which relies mainly on the consumer market.

Sums up my thoughts exactly. I'm not sure if Nokia quite knows what direction it is heading in either. “It would be crazy to write off a company like Nokia and a platform like Symbian, but I do have some confusion as to exactly where it is heading.”

Having your device crap out in the middle of an important call to me is more annoying than it is exciting - LOL! I'm heading towards an E71... and I'm quite excited even though it's moving on a bit now in terms of release date... in terms of features it's pretty much on par don't you think? I'm going to have to swallow my desire for a high res screen another year! How can something being functional, stable and doing what it’s suppose to not be exciting?!
