Nokia end, they are working on symbian variance of the smart phone. The E-series is quite popular nowadays. There should be greater push from them to gain more market share. Even Palm also reveil their own version of new OS to counter the iPhone and Android.

The old dog Windows Mobile is fighting back with new OS version 6.5. To deliver functionalities that are better than the old version and work better with finger only. You have iPhone, Android, Palm, WM, Symbian, so many to choose from in the future.

I am still holding out for a "better" phone. If not better functionalities, then better price. The longer you wait, the more value you get.
