4 new Nokia phones today were revealed. May I ask why the hell does Nokia do better in design for flip phones then slider or candybar phones and why can't it put proper stuff in it?

I'm not sure I understand your statement/question.

Nokia makes stylish flip-phones (they've had to as they sell the most in North American market for any manufacturer); Remember the Motorola StarTac (the tiny one).

Slider phones not good enough for you? what of the N85 or upcoming N86 - the latter looks amazing!

Yeah I mean I like the design for the flips cause they have something going but for bar or slider I just can't stand it.

I really like the front looks of the Thresher, the Grouper looks like a Motorola though

the thresher is amazingly fresh looks, very stylish, but with very stale interfaces.... its still got s40! got, do you still give baby-food to teenagers? i didnt know that was the Nokia policy!!!
stlye is pretty good with thresher, but face it, its a lame phone.... on features...

the mako is a good phone, compact, somewhat stylish.... good great on features too... but wonder why they left out 3g. considering its QEWRTY phone, and you've got to make most of it...
BIG negative for mako...
also the screen is good, but bigger would have been better.
still, worth buying this phone....

the snapper and grouper are staright out of MOTO designs.. SHAME ON NOK FOR THIS! EXPECTE BETTER FROM WORLD NO1[now former!]
sheesh..... even if these phones have something new in them, like interactive touch, the outer lcd, interface, musik player.... but their designs are just not nokia's....... BAD BAD NOKIA!!!!

that said, nokia still has some great phones in their n-serie aresenal.....
watch out for them
they are complete entertaintment packages!

The snapper looks awful. It looks like any flip phone released 4 years ago. The grouper obviously takes A LOT of inspiration from past Motorola models, which is not a good thing going by the amount of people that wish Motorola would move on to a new design.

The other two look fine, although the Mako is a bit odd.

@coolharsh55: The thresher has S40 because it is a feature phone, not a smart phone. They can't all be smartphones mate.

hey! the s40 is now obsolete!!!!!!
im not saying put a blazing symbian thing in it!!!

but look at competition!! everyone has moved on!
even old MOTOROLLA!
and nokia is still here with s40...

compare that with SE same category phone... our OS is bigbetter!!!!!

so i think, nokia should put new things and make s40 better!!!
all they do is little cosmetic upgrade and interface upgrade depending on the phone..........

there's no upgrade in system.
lot of new nokia phones cant handle the heat...

Those names are just strange but then Nokia has always been quirky.
Snapper is passable for a camera phone but the others have no context?!?

Excuse me but where has SE moved on? A200 is an ancient platform introduced god knows when! It has multi tasking and thats the only thing it has going for it. The most SE does with its interface is add gimmicky and childish looking flash themes.

and everything is so easy to use.
and its very very stable...

lotsa my friends s40 get hanged now-n-then...
new nokia phones with s40 have just got some updates like musik-player look....

but s40 has some good features, i am not saying its bad, just that they need to put in major updates...
like aktivity menu, and stop making cheap casings....
a2 menu's are really slick to look and feel, and the phone build quality is awesome too...
nokia s40 serie phones havent got better java, now can they multi-task
THEY CANT MULTI-TASK!!!!

How about this: S40 isnt really Nokia's thing just like Smartphone isnt SE's.

Who cares? Honestly, who cares? The reason why s40 sells so much is because its cheap, simple, stable and fast to develop. Compare a 6300 to a K850, or a 5610xm to W910. At the end of the day the XM S40 phones have audio hardware (3.5mm jack, seperate audio keys, DSP DAC) and do what they are meant to very well,did K850 and W910 do that? Nope,and im pretty sure S40 phones totaly out sell a200s so why should Nokia change anything? You want a phone with excellent funcionality? Get an S60. You want simplicity? S40. End of story.
