Nice to see a good discussion, and I admit that you all make some good points that I did not think about while posting. Having said that, I do have some thoughts...

jaark, do you want to compare Nokia and Google? True, Google don't have a large presence on the smart phone market, but they are just starting...

Also, what is this stuff about the "core Windows kernel"? I think that comparing hardware and software companies is flawed logic... Instead of Windows, you should say MacOS.

c0rt3x, I have hope but not faith.

Do you all think that Nokia would be where it is on the smartphone market if it had a single phone model for each Symbian version?
