I don't know why some people get hung up on the 1Ghz thing. It's wrong.

Look at how big and differentiated Nokia's product line is, and how wide a product range you get when you take all the S40 and Symbian devices and put them next to each other. That's a range from really weak to really strong devices.

Then know that Symbian will be replaced. Not 1:1, the top end Symbian phones will get Windows Phone. Symbian stuff will be ported to S40, making S40 more equipped - but not necessarily heavier to run per se.

You'll then end up with a new product spread - where you have cheap donk S40's in one end, more expensive S40s near the top, and Windows Phones at the top end. In many ways, S40 is "the" Nokia OS, and they're not going to stop making cheap S40 phones. There's no 1Ghz low end, that's just dumb. Only expensive phones have 1Ghz CPUs. Only a very select handful of expensive high end first half 2011 phones have something better, like that plus multi core. S40 is a wide family, will keep being a wide family, and it's Nokias strategy to let 1 billion new people get affordable phones with internet, where they could not afford it before.

That's not 1Ghz phones.
