The UI Millhouse linked to is needed yesterday - it's (presumably customizable) different appearances would appeal to the fanboys and also to the apple-type user - obviously it's not a simple case of cosmetics but surely canola (which is what, a year old now?) showed the premise worked and really, we all know that however many man-hours something takes can be shortened in timescale by more money for more men (and women)!

And I agree with everyone else who says so - we need concrete information about developments that are ahead - hell, apple don't seem to be too worried about announcing things way up front, why are nokia so cagey? Is this forum really a hotbed of industrial spying?

For everyone who wants sales figures for 700/800, how about simply checking the membership numbers of this forum?

I've had both models from almost day one, live in the UK, travel around Europe and have not met one single person who has one or even knew what it was/that it existed. I saw it on sale in Singapore a couple of weeks back, again, no big deal, just an ugly big thing tacked on the end of shelves of great looking phones.

I'm not a Texrat knocker by any means - I reckon he is a genuine enthusiast, you can't deny it. But comments like this really do come across as some kind of internet street-teaming thing, (we get it a lot in the music industry) it's a bit like "you think x's new track is good, just wait 'til you hear y's". It's beginning to grate on me, these hints of "if only you've seen what I've seen" just give me the mental picture of a blind-sided nokia R&D team frantically back-engineering the latest apple product

Like most people, I only have so much "disposable income (it's called a credit card!). I bought the 800 the very first moment I could. Even if i knew it was three months, six months off, but I knew what the "successors" were, it would make an impact on my future buying plans.

Time for Nokia to finally listen to the limited buyer-base it has got for NITs or lose out I think.
