Majority of Nokia’s fan base still prefer QWERTY

i use the dell venue pro and nokia e63, qwertys are the same, though i developed extra muscles in my hand using DVP.

btw, international DVP is still getting updates. i think, it'll also get wp7.8

My sons and I all have Dell Venue Pros and I have bought 3 more for the future. I love it and its' form factor. I am crossing my fingers that Nokia and Windows realize properly promoted a Dell Venue Pro like device could make the WindowsPhone experience different. ALL smartphones right now are the same.. and there is no real compelling reason for a customer to get a Windows phone over a Andriod or iOS.. if they are comfortable with those systems. BUT if they had a QWERTY slider with a touch screen.. THEN there would be a phone that is DIFFERENT.. I am so hoping they do that, or maybe HTC.. and make it available for ALL (or at minimum AT&T Tmobile and Verizon)

Your statement is so wrong. But it is ok, it is your opinion. :(

Amen, Clevername. My favorite form factor, as rare as the Albino Yeti of the great mountains of Idaho.

Some choice please.....

We users naturally want more choice, but the manufacturers need us to support them with our wallets, not spiritual encouragement.

The survey is flaw b-c it did not mention the higher cost and thickness of KB.

i hear you buddy.. but for smartphone at high end price.. for me, no... maybe nokia should put it on low end market!!!

Agree with you, I'm even don't like Symbian. My comment was just related to article titles "Majority of Nokia’s fan base still prefer QWERTY". :)

and instead of the good looking yet aweful s40 touch.. it still lacks some apps and features like multitalksing to be called smartphone! nokia is trying to push the asha line to defend against android.. but android is a smartphone OS but squized to low end and cheap market!

if they just consider of putting symbian on low end.. i think they can really go head to head with android in low end... symbian has at least a 100 000 apps on nokia store while s40 only have 25000 and its all java...

totally agree... symbian isnt a battery hog like android and it is really good at multitasking!

and symbian can run fluidly on 800mhz processor becuase it dont need latest processors of being 1.5ghz processor, dual core and quad core!!

i mean what's the point of 1ghz processor on asha but it cant do multitask? POINTLESS!!!

the nokia 701 is also running with 1ghz processor and it can multitask fluidly!!!

nokia is really making me sick of making bad decisions!! i think im a good CEO than elop... im not even studying business course!

I agree with you :D Symbian was good even though it had few shortcomings.. :(
its a lot easier to type on phones with physical keyboard though!! at least for me i can type without looking on a phone with physical keyboard like a blackberry or the nokia E Series phones

no what he says is true! nokia is define by symbian... people think a lumia device is a different brand coz its not the same nokia people get use to and not familiar with flips (i wonder why microsoft didnt name it FLIP UI better than modern UI or worst WINDOWS 8 UI) and honestly i myself when i first look at lumia, think lumia is a new phone brand... since it doesnt look anything that i use to see on a nokia device!

even PhoneArenaUser isnt a nokia fan or pro symbian what he said is correct!

correction: "majority of Nokia fans still prefer Meego*

Correction: Majority of Nokia fans never had used MeeGo. ;)

hate to admit but this it true!! symbian is what nokia is... maemo/meego never had a chance to show what they got with nokia.. not even market the n9 right.. even though a lot of tech sites and tech people fell in love with it..

nokia is being blind!!! and STUPID! and BULLs**t!

Yup same here

yes over the touchscreen an old outdated keypad is useless. Yes a complete QWERTY keyboard is good over on screen keyboard as it is needed for fast typing

24. microsoftnokiawin posted on 11 Aug 2012, 19:35 0 1

No they want nokia to adopt meego back

32. pikapowerize (banned) posted on 11 Aug 2012, 21:30 0 1

i think the reason why windows phone let go of windows mobile because they want to go full touch screen..

but yeah... nokia should have bought webOS instead of HP... HP make webOS terrible! HP is also making bad decisions now!!

but i like the ideo of open source webOS!
