Does nokia really expect that S60 3rd Edition is gonna be viable platform for high end business devices around 2012? Is that Microsoft corporate software that's supposed to be big selling point for Eseries really gonna run on a E74 that's based on S60 3rd? Even if non-touch UI is on roadmap for Symbian ^5 it's propably gonna be 2012 at earliest before that problem goes away.
They just have to make a device with the same form factor as the Palm Pre.

Edit: In fact, they almost have it in the E66 (http://www.seguridad-vigilancia.com/.../nokia-e66.jpg). They just have to make it a bigger, touch enabled screen and the keyboard QWERTY and presto!
