I strongly disagree with this, the worst thing nokia could do is appeal to bloggers/journalists/tech media. While some people do strongly adhere to such reviews many more well informed people do their own research and not to mention spread the word and or correct misinformation. I would much rather Nokia follow actually sales data and spending trends versus bloggers/journalists/tech media.

I ordered a e71 for my wife when I ordered a n900 for myself and ship date for the n900 constantly got pushed back and back. During this time I played with the e71 and found it to be extremely pleasing, some obvious short comings but very functional. And I'm very demanding on my devices, I soon realized for my phone needs the e71 would have been fine. If nokia can update Symbian to be a more modern OS while maintaining all of the functionality Symbian devices it changes the game considerably. As great as maemo is it would be better served in a smartphone OS line. I strongly think this http://www.viddler.com/explore/engad...eos/827/1.039/ is a hint at Nokia's 5th step.
