It means that now both Google Android and Symbian will be free and thus Windows Mobile will be priced out of the smartphone market.
Really? how is that? where is the google android phone? millions of Nokia symbian phones and I only ever tried one the Nokia N80 and I regereted it. FREE does not mean better.
The flexibility of Windows mobile phones out perform both of those. if Windows mobile phones where not scaring them those two companies will not exist and Nokia (Nortehrn Europe by the way) will not find it necessary to give Symbian free.
I very much doubt, but market is a funny place. Will see. |

Hilarious. Given the proximity of Germany to its "East Europe" cousin, the Czech Republic, I wonder why Germany isn't considered "East Europe" and the Czech Republic is. Certainly this would be the case long before Finnland given the former East German's "East Europe" roots.
