i repeat, i dont care about market share, Nokia does (and apparently you too). And I have NOT been satisfied by the recent S60 offerings from Nokia. But to each his own.

in that case, its symbian, not S60, as its the version nokia uses (specifically its symbian with a interface made to match nokias older phone firmware, known as S40).

motorola and sonyericsson used a different interface on top of symbain, uiq. tho the latter folded ones nokia grabbed the symbian shares and started setting up the symbian foundation.

still, if you swap OS for platform, you may well be correct, tho i am still not sure about S60, as a platform, being a flop, given how many nokia phones there are out there running it.

btw, here is a list of gsm phones running symbian S60...

I think simply being worried isn't necessarily on the same level with paranoia. I'm prepared to trust you on this, so I'm glad this thread was here for you to post in.

But this I don't quite understand. Think about this: does R&D control the business function or does the business function control R&D? Shouldn't this information in fact make us more worried rather than less?

.
you are correct i meant platform. and flop was an incorrect descriptor, 'disappointment in its evolution' would have been more accurate. hence the fact i've held on to my E61 for so long. trust me i look overseas for all of my cellular options. :D

i like the n97 with the new firmware version 2 from the software side. the downfall for me is the old processor

Not to cause any concern...but it seems are you just correcting one fallacy and inserting another. Or perhaps it is just friendly American bashing. :)

Regardless, your old-fashoined sterotypes of Americans is no longer true, if it ever was. Things have changed, for example besides President Obama, there is an Austrian-born actor in charge of my State. IMO, modern Americans certianly have a worldview.

Think about this: both R&D, business and many other functions work together in order to bring beautiful and successful products to the market.

It's the third time I'm posting in this thread saying that you don't have to worry. If someone still prefers to worry then it's worthless to try with a 4th post. So I won't even try. :)
