I have no time for your lack of ability to answer a simple question, nor your ham-fisted approach at what civil people call a discussion. I have no patience left for the likes of you or your kind.
Can't discuss? Move aside and let the adults do what you cannot.

Yeah, and that option is to be eventually bought by Microsoft, as a future MS Mobile Phone Division, delivering Windows Phone 10.5 'It will definitely work for sure this time around' edition.

NOKIA could undoubtedly have made Symbian sales increase further and faster by upgrading the UI.
Now Symbian Belle can not change anything, no matter how good it is, because Elop has lost the support of carriers and large retailers by announcing Symbian is obsolete. It is that loss of support that has caused the absolute nose-dive we have seen in the last few months.
Within the last week I've received a flyer from Tesco with their mobile phone deals, it had the iPhone, various Android handsets (from HTC, Samsung and LG) and a BlackBerry but there was only one NOKIA handset in the whole pamphlet and that was a Series 40 phone in the cheapo section.
It's a similar story if you pick up the mobile deals brochure from Argos, NOKIA is now invisible.
If you went out specifically to get a NOKIA handset I'm sure you still could but no outlet is trying to promote them anymore.
The change to dual core is because they consume less battery power, not because single core offers inadequate performance. Symbian is expert at sipping power so this wont be a big issue.
The sales of S40 devices has also nose-dived in the last few months, it seems they are tainted by association.
I agree with much of what you said. Keep in mind I know the merits of a 1Ghz processor and symbian's functionality. I was simply pointing out the fact that it regardless it is not high end.

Samsung Overtakes Apple in Smartphone Sales [Europe]
From the article:
Beyond the Samsung/Apple fight, Android has indeed been the number one in terms of overall market share, and there is probably nothing that Apple can do as the iPhone 5 is unlikely to change the trend. The loser in the story? Nokia. Despite a historical strength in that Market, Nokia’s market share is quickly eroding – now the jump to Windows Phone 7 is more than ever a “do-or-die” for the company.

Microsoft went in at the exact right time in the life of Nokia, the timing could never have been more precise therefore WP MUST be groundbreaking for Nokia.
Money talks in this world far more than people can without it.
Have you never thought of this as a deliberate plan by Microsoft to own Nokia at a bargain price?.

Nokia may never again get the chance to even be able to choose a new CEO.

Yes, it's counterintuitive, but that's been the Microsoft Way since forever.
Remember that Microsoft isn't here to make money. Out of hundreds of Microsoft divisions, only two actually turn a profit -- Windows and Office.
All the others serve only as a way of strengthening the Windows monopoly while making other choices less viable.
The same pattern is at work with the Microsoft-Nokia 'partnership'.

You buy that hardware manufacturer....the platform will succeed?! There's no logic here. You keep losing and so you buy the loser and keep losing some more??! See where I'm going with this? If Nokia wanted their division to be bought, they would've sold it on the get go.

All times are GMT. The time now is 09:46.
Nokia had Symbian that costs an arm and a leg to develop and it takes ages. Belle will be excellent, but it comes 3 years too late. Meego is a pipe dream. Maemo is dead. Qt and Swipe are the only things worth going fwd with.
