Android is infested with Java, it can't even run native C programs out of the box without hacking it inside out.

No native C programs means no GTK if you get what I am saying. So NO I am not ready for Android.

Wow how witty of you Mr Smarty Pants.

How about you address my points instead of evading them for a change Mr "Fancy Pants I Run a Blog About This Very Topic"?

Ya, well tell that to Mr Mike Macias here.

He is too busy playing nice to Nokia so that they may give him a Free E72 to play with so he could come back to this blog and shoot a nice wad about how we need to be in with the E72 upgrade.

Mike, don't you think it's absurd E71 doesn't get FP2 while E71x does?

At the end the E71 buyers are the ones who pay more no?

And what about USB charging and 3.5mm jacl, was that much to ask for?

And the proprietary cable, what's up with that?

You seem to be a bit too comfortable with Nokia's policies, because it doesn't seem you care much about how often you need to upgrade.

I like Nokia's phones, but Nokia is supposed to have a different customer base, it shouldn't be like Apple were it just like hands down new models and customers are supposed to take it no questions asked because they are not smart enough to question...

Come on Mike, be a man and write a blog-article about Nokia's decisions, voice our issues if you care....though I doubt you would.

Hell no to Windows Mobile and Apple phones as well.

I want to be FREE

Oh what I would pay to see a Nokia E71 running an open Linux variant E71 + Linux + GTK = FREEDOM!

If Only Nokia would listen to what people have to say :|

Wow, do you guys really think there is enough of an incentive to upgrade?

Nokia keeps playing dirty tricks on it's customers , NOKIA does NOT listen to it's customer base much after sale, after you buy your Nokia, you are on your own. If you have an issue you are most of the times out of luck they will not listen.

I did NOT forget how Nokia didn't provide the A2DP Software upgrade for my Nokia E61, why didn't they do it? I had to wait till I upgraded to my E71 ONE AND A HALF years later to be able to use my Bluetooth Headphones which I purchased with my E61 under the impression A2DP was coming as a software patch!

Not even the E61i which came later had A2DP, wow too much effort to make that happen Nokia?

Nice trick Nokia, ALWAYS keep something essential missing for the next version, so that to force customers to upgrade if they are NOT comfortable where they are.

Why not fix the software issues in the E71 Camera that makes night and other photos horrible? That's right you have to wait for the E72 for this to happen, because the software fix is toooo advanced for the E71 right?

Why not make FP2 available for E71? Is the E71 radically different from E71x? Do they take me for a dumbass? Not even Apple which has a majority customer base of Automatons dares do such things.

Why did they make the E71 with smaller headphone jack? Is it that much of an engineering challenge? You know very well why they did it.

And everybody here is clapping that Nokia is offering the E72 with a 3.5mm jack!

WOW Thank you Nokia for including what you were supposed to include since the E61 days, thank you NOKIA. Here is another stack of hundred dollar bills as a token of my deep felt appreciation.

I can't upgrade my Nokia E71 firmware...wanna know why?

Well because if I do, MagicKey will not work anymore. I will not be able to use my Nokia E71 keypad the way I want to use it on my phone anymore.

For instance, for normal usage, I have the "!?" button mapped as RIGHT SHIFT and the "chr ctrl" Button mapped as CTRL so that I can highlight text with ease by using SHIFT and CTRL right away. Also, I have moved the "chr" button to the " & ' " button.

Also, I use Putty on My E71 to SSH into my servers so I have CTRL, Page UP & DOWN, TAB and a RIGHT SHIFT buttons programmed in MagicKey to my E71 Keys when I launch putty those keys are there, that way when I open Putty it's like having a real keyboard and I work away at my convenience, but I can't upgrade to the new firmware because I will NOT be able to use my phone like I want to.

GREAT WORK NOKIA!

Why no standard USB connection (Type-B or mini-B would do)?
Why no USB Charging for the E71?

Well because that's what the E72 might be able to do DUH DUMBASS why make something available now when we can have it later??!

Nokia is a little good at what it makes but their business decisions are SLIMY as hell. I am getting sick of being treated like I owe my life to Nokia.

Plus, money doesn't grow on trees either, The E-series might be amongst the best that is out there and are my favorite hands down, but they are not specifically cheap either. I have NO IDEA how people automatically expect others to just JUMP ON THE UPGRADE TRAIN as if the E-series phones cost nickles and dimes to get!

"GUY1: I am going to get an E72 first day they release it YES!
I am totally throwing my E71 away what a piece of junk!"
"GUY2: YES SIR, teh E72, IT HAS USB CHARGING and a 3.5mm headphone JACK!! BRILLIANT!"
"GUY1: USB charging???? AND YOU CAN USE YOUR HEADPHONES WITH TI TOO? WOWEEE HIGH FIVE!! Where can I get an E72 you say?
I have this stack of hundred dollar bills, it's taking room in my pocket.

GUY2: DUDE NOKIA ROCKS!!!!!!"

Now let's play a guessing game and try to think what will the E72's replacement have:

Let me guess that one....hmmm they will have Non-proprietary USB cable, BRILLIANT!

E72's replacement will be able to output Video to A/V cable just the like the N95 decades ago BRILLIANT

The Camera won't need 10 firmware upgrades to work BRILLIANT!

Nokia will allow you to customize key placement, instead of trying to prevent you from customizing your own keypad. AWESOME!!!!!

NOKIA RULESSZZZ!

I am done with Nokia, after being a long time customer, I am moving to the closest form factor Linux phone I can find that allows me to use my phone as I want. I am not giving Nokia more money to take control from me.
