. . . more folks to rip off good designs, improve on it (like putting in Opera) and give it to the mass by lowering the price-line . . .
mmm, I'm still undecided whether the Nexio is a really good design. It's got weight balance problems when you try to thumb type - really top heavy. And I think it's dpi is way too high. MS had to change the UI for VGA PPCs with similar dpi.
I also wouldn't say for sure if Opera is an "improvement" over IE 5.5
And finally, as expensive as the Nexio is... I do not think this Nokia can be much cheaper, if not more expensive
hehe ... I only tried Opera awhile on the desktop, and yeah, I forgot that the Nexio has IE5.5 instead of PIE4.01!
... so I guess that kinda tips the balance abit ... but the $350 price tag sways heavily in favor of the Nokia.
Since it is not a mobile device, there is no service plan that is so associated with Nokia phone products, $350 is then the actual price. Hmmm ... what am I rambling about??
