If Nokia can make a wonderful phone at this price point, why the heck are they kowtowing to WindowsPhone?
I have this Mahjong feeling that the era of Manufacturers producing for multiple OSes is now firmly entrenched. Choice. Only Apple seems idiosyncratic..

Nice write-up, Ese. Succinct and and to the point.
Something to note, is that Nokia is now playing catch-up, which is a good thing. I smiled with relish when I learnt that the phone would come with 1GB single Core CPU & 512 RAM! Nokia is now trying doing what other manufacturers have been doing for long. Creating phones with commensurate CPU & RAM.
Good One, Nokia! It has a better spec than even the Nokia 701! A good buy, if you ask me!

The device looks georgeous but Nokia still offers too many different smartphones on too many OS platforms. They need to be more focused.

At last, a phone I can buy for keeps as a reminder of my previous romance with Nokia.
Sorry Nokia, am married now. Polygamy actually. Married to android and iOS. Still considering a side fling with Siri. ?

Dear All
Its high time we started getting used to Micro Sim. There is no argument about it, Smartphones are becoming more powerful and there is need to maximize space on devices. Sometimes I wonder why we have even been using all these big SIMs self.
Micro SIM is the future.
