Nokia dumps Symbian and gets into bed be with Microsoft.

Bad signal sensitivity
Too fragile
Very poor battery life

I've owned both a 3G and iPhone 4 and none of those points are remotely the case in my experience.

As for Nokia & MS, looks a good move to me, from what i've seen of Win 7 Phone, it looks slick (If I didn't have the Iphone, it'd be that for me instead of Android) and Nokia is still a trusted, respected name so smart move for both parties IMO.

As it happens I've been reading a fair bit about Nokia since last summer, and I think they lost it. The phone I got in 2007 had me fighting not just with the interface, but with the physical buttons too. Their fancy new GUI wasn't a patch on the text interface that I had on its 1998 vintage predecessor (and I had a brief interlude with a Sony Ericsson which was a pile of poo).

Interesting comment on Nokia - Nokia: An Excess of Cleverness, where they compare it with Apple's fortunes, pretty graphs and all.

Apple can get away with this less efficient process because it produces one phone at a time. Nokia has 89 different phone models available currently in Europe (link).

Nokia share price didn't agree and neither did my non-English speaking colleagues.
