ok, so now users will be tempted

.. to take the phone out whilst bouncing around, thus increasing tenfold the number of units returned after being dropped on the pavement. good thinking!!

1024 x 576 ????

The huge screen res was the biggest selling point of the 2133, and they've chucked it away. And let's not start on the price. Fools!

Very very good value

.. wonder what it's missing next to the E71?

I never quite "got" the work/personal switcher thing on my E71.. I turned it off within hours :-) but each to their own and all that

Does the populace ACTUALLY get to make a choice on this?

.. it seems not, so we're already heading for 1984 (are we? have the other EU countries with ID cards become totalitarian states?)

Way more people seem to be against it than for it. So how does this constitute a democracy? Is there a referendum?

Ok there's a general election coming up, who can I vote for that will actually stop the already launched mission to introduce ID cards?

Dominant in which market exactly?

"The iPhone and the Blackberry are still the dominant market players"

Could you define "market" here? Ahh, is it the famous "Blackberry and iPhone market?" (one containing 2 radically different devices, let's forget about all those other weird devices out there that make up the vast majority of sales in any other "market" you care to define)

Or perhaps you mean "dominant" in terms of "amount of hype"? If so I apologise. It is your right to perpetuate said hype with statements like this.

.. not wishing to sound ungrateful for this technological advance but..

.. is the factory it's made in solar powered too?

.. and is it shipped to us in sailboats?

.. and does every member of staff in the shop I bought it from cycle to work?

.. and is it made from renewable resources?

.. and is the industry whose content it delivers carbon neutral? What? Even if I don't watch the latest Hollywood action trash laden with petrol explosions?

.. and does it work in London (i.e. does it require actual sunlight)?

Oh.

@Andrew Bush

Didn't you realise all the Apple-connected goods you bought would lock you into buying

Apple forever?

That's definitely Nokia's fault isn't it. Definitely not yours. No.

Maybe they'd consider it..

if they add a condition to the contract that the crew must rebrand the craft exterior "Impure" prior to .. ahem... re-entry

You don't need recoverable ram disks for fast reboots... just go "Hibernate" *

I think you'll find it's from The Real Ghostbusters

@Philip

If the British Establishment are valuing humanities above science, perhaps their priorities are in the right place (even if not for the right reasons). Maybe science has already developed a bit too far ahead of the humanities in a world that's managed to nearly nuke itself to bits several times, and still is nowhere near out of the woods in that respect alone.. To say nothing of all the other problems technology's brought to this short-sighted, immature bunch of scared children called the human race.

Anyhoo. Enough high level simplistic babbling. Nobody ever got paid for saving the world. I'm off to make some more mobile phone software.

@RRRoamer .. I followed your instructions

Now my laptop won't boot any more.

What gives?

Pigeonholing idiots

To various: who the hell are you to tell vegetarians what they believe in?

You know nothing about them other than that they don't eat meat.

p.s. doesn't B12 grow on the famous Marmite tree?
