Not a camera phone, but a business phone

Not a camera phone, but a business phone

I've had my Nokia N95 for a while (see Posted from the mobile), but whilst the screen is nice and large, I spend far to long typing on it. The numeric pad is just not the same as the feel of a real keyboard.

So I'm switching to a Nokia E75, which has a nice slide out keyboard with a good feel, a slightly weightier case, smaller (3MP compared to 5MP) camera and glass covered display. The Nokia N95 is being passed to my wife, who's still operating on a venerable Nokia phone, so she's brought up to date.

Whilst I did look at the Android , and the Apple (most of my colleagues have Apple phones of some sort or another), I think that it's not so fully developed at the moment, so perhaps my next phone after this..

I'm hoping that the move by Nokia Unfortunately, we could not get stock quote HEL:NOKIA this time. to launch the Symbian Foundation will help move the operating platform out of the semi-stagnation that it seems to be in at the moment, and that we'll see some developments to take Symbian towards (and beyond) the current Android platform. There's a lot of knowledge within the various elements of the Foundation, so if they all pull together, then it's possible they could come up with a good platform. The alternative platform based on Linux is still a little way down the pipe, but might make a suitable alternative. My only worry is that by spreading themselves across multiple platforms, they may end up developing lots of device drivers, but to focus on providing the improvements to the user interface.

Still the decision was made, and I'm sticking with Nokia, and hoping that they manage to move forward into the future.
