Nokia E6 review

With all that’s happened at Nokia in the last year it is interesting to see a new Nokia Symbian device being released. Does the Nokia E6 bring anything new to the market, or does it perhaps threaten to disrupt it?

Nokia has been all over the news this year. Not so much because of revolutionary new devices, but more because of interesting (and slightly controversial) decisions to partner with Microsoft and begin producing Windows Phone 7 phones.

Why is it controversial? Because they didn't choose to use Android?

Why is it controversial? Because they didn't choose to use Android?

No because they chose to abandon MeeGo, I believe.

No because they chose to abandon MeeGo, I believe.

Still they could have done a lot worse, like stay with Symbian. We don't know what the future holds.

So how many "last Symbian device evar"s are there still going to be?

 

[Bosvark@]

The question on my mind... Are they flogging a dead donkey here with Symbian...?

Nokia in todays world is defined as a best in mobile industry. Nokia N900. Is a phantastic phone (really an understatement -- it is a full-blown PC) And no it uses Linux for ages now
Android is not a phone just a OS

According to IDC, cellphone makers shipped a total of 365.4 million units last quarter, a year-over-year increase of 11.3 percent. Nokia, while still the world's largest handset maker, suffered a significant blow, with shipments dropping from 111.1 million in Q2 2010 to 88.5 million; the company's market share was similarly down, hitting 24.2 percent, compared to last year's 33.8 percent. LG Electronics was the only other manufacturer to see a loss, with shipments dropping to 24.8 million from 30.6 million in 2010. Apple managed to maintain its recently acquired number four spot, with iPhone shipments hitting 20.3 million, up year-over-year from 8.4 million. RIM was conspicuously missing from the top five lineup, while ZTE landed the number five position. In news that shouldn't surprise anyone with a pulse, the feature phone market saw a decline this year, surprisingly its first since Q3 2009
