"Nokia obsoletes their products from the moment you buy it. "
Ha!!! i like the way kureyon put that! But think about fw as well as hw. these days symbian´s still around & will be, meego left the starting gate late but anyway, and now wm7. i mean really!!! once it was hard enough just choosing a nokia based on hw. i´ve never needed to switch out sims or carry more than one cell at a time. of course learning curve through brick life-cycles was met with disappointments like 9300i w/o a camera(!) & e90 w/o tv-out but in the end i´d always put my trust in the brick during its time. bricks didn´t crash as much as todays cells do imho.
