@nils

Series 60 is not the most powerful OS around. UIQ is equally powerful. Windows is also powerful (and power-hungry) as well. You can consider Palm as powerful too. What do you mean by power anyway?

Just to make a correction here. Series 60 and UIQ are not OS's. Those both are UI's, which are running on top of Symbian operating system.

@nils7

I am not one of these people that criticises Nokia just for the sake of it, I stand by my comments on both of these phones. I don't think they are bad phones, it's just that I feel one can do better if one waits, there are a whole plethora of new phones just around the corner, including a rumoured second 3G phone from SE, which is apparently fantastic.
I would still hold to the point that Nokia have lost their edge (no pun intended) in design and quality, they need to stop reusing old designs and models with a lick of paint and a few extra features; they also need to stop releasing phones that look like the handiwork of a hyper-active chimp on speed let loose on a drawing board!

Sorry for the mistake of treating Series 60 or UIQ as different OS. Yes they're both Symbian and that makes them equally capable.

I agree that nokia is still up to its old tircks of releasing new phones with little difference from the older models. They do it because it worked before. And a lot of people don't care about 3G or other high tech stuff. They just get tired of the look of their old phones and want something that looks different. I like the 6260's form factor but I'm not buying because I already have the 6600 (nothing drastically new).

Most SE fans criticisms of Nokia new phones are indeed very hollow.
Other than the overly expensive niche P900, SE do not even have any phone that can compete with 6260/6630/7610/6600/3660/3650/Ngage.

Now most Nokia mid to high end phones are all smartphone based on Series 60. This is a very strategic move as smartphone business is skyrocketing.

If hardware capabilities (such cam, memory etc) are the same, then software makes the difference. And with Series 60, there are thousands of software to expand the capability of the phone.

So SE can go spend a lot of effort building new phones and adding new features. All Nokia has to do is repackage their phone in different casing format to suite all segments of the market and tap on 3rd party software to give features to phone.

To a consumer a smartphone is definitely a better buy as functionality is upgradable.

The main reason that so many people see Nokia as tosh.

Nobody seems to have noticed the news that Nokia will introduce new screen resolutions for Series 60 later this year.. 208 x 208, 240 x 320 and 352 x 416. They will also use it in low-end models too.
