We had to match the software to the needs of the market. For PIM/PDA synchronization, we need to spend time organizing the best, longest lasting, and most flexible way to release it and then maintain it as the product moves forward."

I think this shows that Nokia is mindfull of PIM, but trying to be careful about how it is implemented.

... or they're blowing pretty coloured smoke. I mean, if had no intention of ever releasing a PIM but didn't want the user base to know, that's exactly what I would say: "We're going slowly to make sure we're doing it right. Just be patient, it'll come".
