DISQUS

Speaking about S60 speed and memory improvement for some "gray-haired" devices, have you got any info on Nokia E50 ??
It's my only device at the moment, I'm waiting for the E71 but I would like to see some serious improvement for this one since even the N73 is getting some love from Nokia.
I would be really pissed if the E50 has been already phased out, since there are so many room for improvement left, plus it's an E-Series, doesn't that means better support in the first place ?
Any info on E50 would be really welcome...

I wish I had some E50 news for you merlin but unfortunately nada. I'll so a bit of digging though and update if I find anything.

I hope Nokia realizes that its US N95 customers are the ones who were willing to purchase a product unsupported by any US carrier. We are the customers you need to impress.

A lot of people ask me about my N95, and it gets a very mixed review. If now the N95 is unsupported, I will gladly share that negative review with anyone who wants to know. I am feeling like I have a $500+ paper weight.

I think if they ignore the N95, we should be looking at a class-action suit. Well, maybe not that extreme, but someone needs to let Nokia know we mean business. They are neither a leader nor a player in the American smartphone market. Nokia needs to behave like the underdog it is here, and go out of its way to earn customers. I doubt releasing an unsupported "Flag-Ship" phone is the way to do this.

I think that a class action suit wouldn't work. What would the basis be? Nokia does not have to release software or firmware upgrades, they choose to. I can understand your frustration, but a lawsuit would definitely not help.

I know it would not help at all. I do understand that Nokia is not obligated to update it's firmware beyond what might be necessary to eliminate any hazardous conditions.

But I feel like it would be a way to raise attention at Nokia that it is a problem. Corporations will file frivolous lawsuits for many reasons, including to suck resources from some other entity. This is mostly the goal I think would be accomplished.

One lawsuit Nokia would probably worry about more is their paltry US warranty service.
