Just a copuple of minutes before my italian classes(You should see the girls that attend them :D )
I have just finished reading issue 4 of Your Symbian and i really enjoyed reading all of the articles(slurp) and especially Switchblade's Backstop(slurp).
He had a point there about Nokia not releasing the long awaited communicator succesor.
After reading "Why smartphones will rule" on Rafe's blog i did a little thinking(higly improbable,really).
Not enough news on the subject really,except some code names(Hilden) and some forum vapourware talk.
Not typical for Nokia if you ask me.
Could they have stopped its developement,if there was any?
Someone will ask,what are Nokia's reasons for doing so?well,you could find some in Rafe's article i mentioned before,Why smartphones will rule.
I will state only one: Sales.
If my memory serves me right,the 9210,9210i/9290 didn't sell quite as Nokia planed.
So why would they bother when they have Series 60 infecting the mobile community like mad.
I'm probably dead wrong and i wish i am because i still didn't get over that QWERTY keyboard and that big screen but that will not stop me from publishing this :)
My dream device:Series 60 UI,Hardware strong as the p800(The CPU,Bluetooth,SD slot maybe,you know,the works!)the QWERTY keyboard and the big 92XX screen,touch if you please.
