Believe it or not, there are a lot more simple phones sold than the latest greatest whizbang devices. Nokia has dabbled and dithered with maemo for five years and they are finally going to bring a consumer centric device(meeg-harmattan n9 whatever) to a wide market to compete with the latest whizbang phones from apple google.

Apple makes one phone, google makes one phone.

Thats my exact point, nothing new instead the same old phone, simple yes is churned out with the idea "don't worry it's a Nokia so someone will buy it" google and apple may only have one phone each but my point is that the way there phones are created, marketed anbd sold is completly different to that of Nokia. Google may have one phone but they have there fingers in ALOT of pies all of which make them money in ways never seen before, apple is similar in a way that they have pc, os's etc.

As technology moves on so will the idea of the "sinmple phone" everyone will want to check emails, facebook etc and unfortunately the like s of google and apple will have there feet firmly planted ready for the consumers, Nokia sat with nothing...
