Blaming the "current economic climate", Finnish mobile giant Nokia has announced it is to leave the Japanese market to others - aside from a small range of luxury handsets

Doesn't surprise me, Nokia are having a bit of a hard time of it lately, they're not the all conquering market leaders they once were. I imagine they're pulling back on difficult markets and going back to concentrating on their home turf where they're needed.

I don't know something about their latest bunch of phones hasn't excited me personally. Anybody else think they play it too 'safe' with their new phones?

Well, I really hope Nokia are doing badly. The last two Nokia handsets I've owned (N73, N82) are crap. They're poorly built and they crash the whole time. If it weren't for the way they run S60 software, I'd have bought a Sony phone too.

ch424 the n82 crashing ??? probably you are installing very bad coded software.

i have n82 since may and no issues here i have only some games and the garmin mobile gps the new firmwares speed the phone a lot and i love how fast the camera is, and the xenon flash is powerful.

The european market has quite different wishes for a phone than the japanese, then again, nokia isn't listening to customer wishes here either.

Apart from the "Gaming, GPS'ing Photographing MP3 playing phones", you'd be amazed in how many company's camera's generally are not allowed, practically locking out every nokia business phone.
I personally know a lot of people using a 6310i...that's a six years old phone!
