I understand that Nokia are making sure their devices will focus more, have fewer features, but do them exceptionally well. However some of these functions I expect out of the box for a €500 phone in 2009. I certainly expect voice dialing through the head set for example. My SonyEricsson P800 had that back in 2003. So it's the phone features that are lagging behind. It's great that it's a mobile computer, but I expect it to handle the phone features really well, too. Otherwise statements such as "No compromises", as stated by Alberto Torres EVP, Solutions in Nokia's presentation to the financial community today ring hollow.

Although the next point has less to do with Nokia, and all to do with Maemo penetration, I miss running certain personal productivity apps, which currently run on WinMo, and where the developer is putting out a version for iPhone, and for Android. So I ask the devleoper, well what about Maemo? No, "We do not have Debian plans at the moment." Hopefully this will change as Maemo6 hits the market, because if it will be as good as Nokia says, it will penetrate the market really rapidly. Could there be any other reasons why developers wouldn't develop for Maemo and through Qt, extend it to Symbian? Certainly Nokia expect a mass following of developers for the Maemo6 platform. I also hope so.
