Nokia ---

..Not to mention they must be the <most> unwieldy physical messaging
platform on the planet! Anytime I travel outside of Japan and use my 7650 or
7210 I am instantly struck how awful the keyboard placement is and difficult
to text message compared to my Infobar or P505. And, yeah, the crappy small
displays ...

The relevant phrase in business is

	"Kill Your Own Young"

The fact that Nokia would ship something like the 3300 (Series 40 with
128x128 pixels and a 64kb midlet limit on a 15mb phone) is a perfect
example of this ... as well as all the new Series 30 (96 x 64) pixel
phones they keep selling.

Also their JVM's tend to suck.

Finally the "GPRS Gateway" crap prevents most users (in the USA) from
ever taking advantage of network apps.

Amazing.
