Nokia simply isn't capable of producing a phone OS that is better than Android or iOS. The sooner they accept this fact and migrate to Android the better. The software side of their business is doomed. They can save the hardware side, but they need to migrate to Android in order to do that.
"Apple simply isn't capable of producing a phone OS that is better than Symbian."

How about various militaries?
at least the bottom levels of regular military hierarchies are usually quite well defined in terms of structure, titles and numbers. which is sort of the whole point: people know what is expected of them. how much similarity there is between various countries I don't know, but it would surprised me if at least western military hierarchies are very different. (similarity between nations makes cooperation easier, but w…

Symbian S60 and Symbian 3rd gen is the same (or actually 3rd gen is subset of S60); Maemo and MeeGo is the same. That makes it down to two platfoms. They actually have also S40, but that is for feature phones. I believe that they want to get rid of S40, put S60 on low end and MeeGo on high end phones.
OK, I've got my facts backwards... Good for them on Maemo/MeeGo, I though they'd completely lost it there. But Symbian 3rd gen (aka. Symbian^3) is indeed different from S60 (which has 4 editions: 1, 2, 3 and 5), with 5th edition becoming Symbian^1. As a matter of fact, Symbian^4 (in which the current UI is replaced by the Nokia Qt SDK) is positioned for a 2011 launch according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbian_…
I may be the only one, but I would gladly pay $50 for a Nokia 3210 - at the very least as a party or back-up phone. I think that it still holds up well today, and if not, they could just improve the hardware and add a camera and colour screen: "3210S"? I have actually tried finding and ordering a mint 3210 on eBay without any luck. I don't see anyone beating Apple in the app phone market - maybe Google themselves mig…
I was actually thinking the other day that there could be a market for rock solid, no nonsense businessphones. Which makes phone calls. A week or two of battery life. Small but legible b/w display. Good, physical buttons. Solid construction. It couldn't be that pricey to make and if marketed correctly, it would probably manage to get its niche market.
Too bad that nobody is interested in niche markets these days.
