Absolutely agree…. We can DEFINITELY sacrifice a few Samsung dumbphones, lol. I might be biased since I’ve been using Nokia phones for over 10 yrs. But the build quality and reliability is unmatched by any other company I’ve used (SE, Samsung, LG and Apple)
Was really hoping T-Mo would get either the n97 mini or n900.

You guys are way off base about Nokia. Nokia has teamed up with a University in England to develop the world’s first nanophone that morphs. It’s due out in 7 years. They will rule the world until someone figures out their technology, which would a take a few years at least. Look towards Nokia as the future.

the E71 was FANTASTIC. One of the best smartphone form factors. Lack of T-mobile 3g, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a cheesy looking OS hurt it significantly. That being said, i LOVE the E71 and if there is an E73 on T-Mobile 3G you bet I will be on board. I use android and can’t imagine not having an android phone (considering how google centric my life is) but once in a while i want a slim, qwerty phone without having to use blackberry.

I love NOKIA, but Im addicted to Android. I wish NOKIA would just sign with Android to make a phone, can you imagine that killer, holy hell. Only thing Symbian and NOKIA really has goin for it now is the free Ovi Maps, that you can use offline, which is really freaking cool. Thou one day google will most likely allow you to do it on Android. I love you Nokia, Im one of the biggest fans, but without Android, Symbian just isnt a big market. Except maybe business people.

Nokia has two problems:
1) they do not seem to be able to market their phones well in the US.
2) the Symbian OS

While these two problems are not un-solvable, whether Nokia will actually find solutions to them is another matter. I’m not anti-Nokia. I had a E63 and absolutely loved it, and still think the whole E-series is under-rated and under-appreciated, especially in the US (but a lot of that has to do with Nokia’s marketing blunders in the US).

The Symbian OS is not bad, but it there is some learning curve involved. By comparison to Symbian phones, it is a lot easier to install apps (and do all sorts of other things) on the iPhone, BlackBerry, and Android phones. Making Symbian open source will not solve the problems inherent in the OS.

Outside of the US Nokia does pretty well, and there are a lot of Symbian phones out there. People who want an iPhone will get one, but for those who want a full QWERTY keyboard, Nokia phones are up there with BlackBerry and Android QWERTYs. If only they could make the Symbian OS less of a hassle.

Don’t forget Samsung Bada the new OS platform in town. Supposedly it’s coming to a majority of Samsung devices for the 2010 calendar year already armed out the box with multitouch, flash support, 3G gaming and advanced social networking integration. If you couple that with Samsung’s new SUPER AMOLED display, this could definitely bring in a new wave of smartphone capability.

I dunno … I’ll be looking for a smartphone when I move to T-Mo this summer. The options:

- Google, whom I don’t quite trust — “Do no evil” indeed;
- iPhone, which is fairly expensive for a “want” since no one but at&t sells it subsidized;
- Maemo, which will have a tougher time getting into the game than Nokia itself; and
- Windows Mobile, which is an also-ran in its present incarnation — and Windows Phone, which likely will be too new to rely upon;

Which leaves Symbian with a smartphone which is built pretty well, comes with some decent features (including free navi), and has a decent mobile OS. I sure would look hard at an E73 if it were in the lineup when I get my next phone.

Such old news!!! Nokia is a thing of the past and should either get out of the Mobile game or step up to the changes in wireless they have refused to migrate to.

There products just don’t cut it anymore!!!
