doonit I've just said this elsewhere on this site but need to say it here again...
I've loved ALL my Nokia S60 phones, but I've truelly hated all Nokias PC apps and online sites/apps. They just haven't a clue. They just all seem to miss the point completely, whereas the phones are all spot-on. Sad, considering how the world trend seems to be going web based

On that basis you should certainly look at the Nokia N98. That is the most amazing media phone that leaves all others a decade behind!
I would like to look at the Nokia N97 first, but as far as I am aware it has yet to be released, certainly in England.

Take a look at the Pre and iPhone 3.0 to see how far Nokia has fallen behind.

Haha..I do agree that Nokia's been on a stagnant these last 2 years, but fallen behind??? The Pre's got a crap camera with no video, and the iphone still can't multi-task and the camera's probably still crap. Please think carefully before coming out with that sort of crap statement. The fact is both the iphone and the Pre are years behind Nokia. But Nokia's not moving forward and eventually they will catch up. I hope Nokia wakes up!!! In a way, I'm glad that Samsung and SE have some really powerful hardware coming up. That'll hopefully push Nokia in the right direction. I'm waiting to see what they'll come up with later this year.

Hih The Magnificent Seven? LOL. What a crap (most of them).

Quality of AAS stories are falling down at the same speed as Nokia N-Series sales are.

Unregistered I have to say I love Nokia and am generally very happy with my 5800.
But the facebook app is utter rubbish, no notifications, unbelievably buggy ( I haven't once used it without having it freeze eventually) and mind-bendingly slow, despite me being very patient with it.

I agree that the AP app is brilliant, infinitely better than the Reuters one, the France 24 app is also superb, especially if you change the video quality setting to high or highest. Most of the stuff on the Ovi store is pretty poor at the moment, I sincerely hope it improves.

  • Multitasking, or at least a way to upload pictures and video in the background
  • Flash-capable web browser
I'll add to that list:
  • Price of iPhone is ridiculous
  • iPhone is physically too large
  • IPhone is not available across networks.
  • IPhone more vulnerable to impact and accidents

Apple did quite well this time round to improve the battery life, but still make a flashy box whilst ignoring the fundamentals. Apple was still outsold in the UK this year by the plain old Blackberry, which is a device that just does what it is supposed to do without fuss.

I give up.

I give up.

New Iphone seems to fix all the problems the old one had,
and if the current Iphone is about 2x faster than 5800XM,
usability of new Iphone is going to be a fantastic experience.

And of course a great suite of applications already available instead of this "magnificent seven" crap.

I will keep my 5800XM as a backup, but Nokia has lost the battle.

natanlevine Hold on, I must have been mistaken but it seemed like you credited your star wars quote as a "bad movie"!
Oh well sorry AAS but I guess I have to move to Symbian-Freak now. That is of course until they commit star wars blasphemy as well...

Any company that is number 1 in its market will get bashed, it is actually a kind of compliment. It's undeniably the best and some people can't handle that.
