Am I the only one that wishes Nokia had bought Palm instead of HP?
Agreed, but also rather HP than Oracle or MS!

#22They looks nice, but they do remind me of the logo diarrhea mentioned here: http://uxhero.com/ux-theory/logo-diarrhea/
Put those logos on the back or make them very subdued.

#23More appealing than anything else Nokia has done in the post-iPhone era.

Nintendo should have bought Palm. Would be great to have a Nintendo branded phone; one developers can make apps for & even use some of Nintendo's B-list characters. I think that such would give Apple a run for some of it's money.

#25How did they have this already ready? Was this a previous phone design that they just rendered with Windows Phone 7, or had they been working with Microsoft already?
Because they have been doing mock ups with both WP7 and android since last summer...I know someone in engineering at Nokia..

#26So they need to do a deal with the devil in order to loose the keyboards and copy established designs. Nokia + MS = 2 x Marketing.

#27Hmm, looks a bit like the Nexus S.
Smart-phones are about the software, not the hardware (above a certain threshold). And even then, WP7 can be the sliced bread of smart-phones, but if they don't have an apps ecosystem, they're not going to take off. With iOS and Android at roughly 20-30% each, and with WP7 at, what, 0-1%? -- who is going to develop WP7 apps? We might not think about it now, but it took a long time for the cool kids to start developing for Android, and even longer for them to do it properly. I only see this slowing down for each new platform added.

#29Looks nice, but if you take away the Nokia logo, it could be a phone from any other maker that licenses WP7.

#30This Nokia/Microsoft deal is really terrib... Hey, look at those shiny phones!
My thoughts exactly, but apparently I also have a defective gene inherited by some alien splicing of the magpie genome into the human species, because damn do I like shiny!
