Nvys isn't far off the mark, although a bit extreme.
the daily mail is very solidly middle class little england and is against anything that is not mum, dad 2 kids and a dog. single parents (unless they work) immigrants, people on benefit, all routinelly get attacked.
I cannot stand the paper, but have a read though the online stuff and check out some of the comments.
Typical online headline: "Celebs out and about: looking good in expensive clothes!"
Typical print headline: "Gay gypsy asylum seekers are giving house prices AIDS - and YOUR TAXES are paying for it"

They just don't get these simple things. EDoF is a perfect technology for low and mid range, but the lack of macro makes it unsuited for high end and the E-series in particular. Why is this so difficult to understand for Nokia? My point is that seen in a historical perspective there is nothing that suggests their current endeavour with Microsoft is not yet another mistake.
lol get realistic no one else can make a replace it. Its not only a software issue.
Even if android fanboys disagree, Nokia is doing very good hw. Even if it doesnt have latest tripplecore cpu the buildquality of theyr phones often is better than crap androids. N900 is an exception probadly becaus is not build in finland instead its build in a taiwan like many androids...
so whom can take over N9? I hope youj dont mean LG because of theyr plans to support Meego :O

If the flagship phones had the specs the 770 had way back, it would've flown off the shelves.
After the iPhone 2G, I wonder why Nokia didn't panic and make the damn Internet Tablet Phone instead of waiting until 2009

2007 indeed!

Here's a link to an article in the Daily Mail - Nokia: The end of the line? "The mobile phone market is slipping out of its hands, but is Nokia getting the message?"
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/mosl...-end-line.html
Not sure if it's the same article
EDIT: Doh - too slow
Cheers gents.
