But now they are few.
The Android's for most techies
But the iPhone's for you!

i hope u dun mean me,cos im no.1 iphone hater!

Man, I don't know what to tell you, then. I mean.. you DID have to ask the question, after all, and the iPhone DOES have a spell-checker, which I see you will need.

And Nokia closing a factory and fire 3500 people. Now will THAT fix Nokias problem with not release devices in time!? I doubt...

what the hell is going on

Are you saying that those workers need to quit complaining, make enough of these phones QUICKLY before they're fired, so that you can get yours?

They really should fire Elop so that the workers feel happy enough to improve productivity. Chances are, knowing you or your coworkers are GOING to lose your jobs is a pretty good demotivator. I wonder if Elop has a bunch of those Demotivational posters all over his office and the hallways--takes them seriously--not realizing that they're NOT motivational posters.

This is one way of forcing it on consumers. Using the Nokia brand power but with ONE choice of platform.

What you call 'cannibalism,' would have been called 'diversity' by the many other handset makers producing handsets in the same market with more than one operating system (Samsung, HTC, etc.). :P Given Nokia's plummeting market share, stock and relevance even in areas where they've been successful, it might have been a far wiser strategy.

Isn't this time round supposed to be different, that's what they've been selling us.
This time they're serious, this is their mass-market/consumer-focussed iteration of Maemo/N900.

Step i of 5?
