>>>>>I see nothing but dwindling sales for Microsoft in the next decade. MS Office upgrades are pointless. Desktop OS upgrades are pointless. Server OS upgrades are pointless. WP7 is so far behind I doubt it will ever make much of a dent... even with the Nokia deal.

>>>I think so Nokia won't left Symbian. WP7 just will their primary smartphone OS. My phone is a Nokia Symbian (5800) too. I just bought it's cheap price (for about 300USD at Turkey) for GPS + Wifi (But now I think wifi is not a necessary thing for mobile phones. Because I bought an unlimited data plan for 5USD/month. ) + 3G. IF I would have more money I would like to buy an Iphone 4, not WP7.

>>Somewhere here on the UT I previously posted a message where Nokia stated (a spokesperson for Nokia) that they were going to discontinue Symbian after their Symbian phones cell out.

>Symbian is not a good OS. But there are a lot of applications with Symbian. I have friends who uses Blackberry even they don't have a navigation software except one.

According to Nokia, there will be a transitional phase (of course) so you may have a few years still....
