I also have no clue about these statistics regarding decembre. Sure, people might have spend more than in a previous year, but that does not mean much. They might have saved up. Or cannot save up now anymore. I know my expenses are increasing a lot this year... (but still, like I said, a perfect or near-perfect device would be a good investment. A toy, no thanks.)

Anyway, you would rather not want to see Nokia jumping further on touchscreen bandwagon? Then what? The competition would then sell these devices as of now, and have to quit that later this year when the bubble is truelly at its bursting end? Or, you think by the time the devices are released the bubble is already bursting leaving Nokia with stock of mass produced devices which aren't selling? When one then argues Nokia was too late, that'd be accurate conclusion?
