It amazes me to see people criticizing Nokia for launching a basic phone in the N900 and then for not marketing it more. How are they going to market something they know is not ready for the spotlight?

People should stop being shallow and chasing the "shiny and expensive" and stop drinking the US blogs KoolAid (heh I can dream, right).

There is a good reason we had not seen something new, aside from the N900 (that was launched for credibility) in 2009, and it was that the new Symbian was going to be ready in 2010, just when the markets Nokia likes pass the hard part of the crisis and are willing to spend money again.

No one is watching and Symbian^2,3,4 and Maemo 6 that come in 2006 are going to do the same that Maemo 5: wow people that didn't see them coming.
