I'm working 80hr/s week currently. I spend 40hours/week at my salaried job, and then I spend another 40hrs/week back at home learning and trying to start up my own company. Eventually I'll quit my salaried job and put in 80+hrs/week for myself. Personally I want to be free, that's my own motivation for wanting to work 80hrs+/week. It sounds contradictory, however the way I see it is, a lot of hard work in the short term for an easy life in the long term, besides I'm doing something I enjoy.
Problem is, Nokia is a phone company, they know how to make phones really well. However, smartphones are more computers than phones, that's why companies like Apple and Google are leading the pack.
Give it a few more years and Nokia will be stuck selling dumbphones while Apple/Google take over the high end smartphone market.
Fortunately you can buy an Android phone or an iPhone and keep your app purchases between phones and carriers.(Android->Android and iPhone->iPhone obviously)
Which is a blessing compared to the absolute crapfest it used to be.
Yeah, maybe in your fantasy world no one would use it. If the OS is good enough, one of the phone device manufacturers will leverage that advantage to make a larger profit over the others.
Unfortunately it isn't.
The Market does decide, why do you think Android and iOS are leading the pack when it comes to growth? Why do you think all the other phone manufacturers are scrambling to keep up?
Besides, Android is fairly open and the iOS is standards compliant.
Why do you need someone else to tell you what to like and what to not like?
Sheep much?
I like hardcore games and I like casual games, the two aren't mutually exclusive. I've got a rig that will pump out 60fps in Crysis at 1920x1200 and play Starcraft II in all it's glory. I also end up playing the crap out of casual games on my iPad/EVO.

Sprint gives me unlimited texting as part of my smartphone package...
Some jobs offer lunch on the companies dime. I have to stay from 7am-3:30pm to cover that 30min lunch break at my job however.
-23 year old here.
Jeez, here I am with my 50k/year salaried 7am-3pm job @ 23 years of age thinking I had it rough...

If you don't know what you're talking about, you would be better off keeping your mouth shut lest you look like a fool.
That's nice, so I take it you're some kind of rich multimillionaire pioneer at the forefront of VM technology then?
Depends on the monetary incentives and how intellectually stimulating the work is.
I would easily work 100hrs/week if it meant I could retire by 30.
Is it? Or do the old-timers just not get new technology?
Besides, most people over 40 don't want to spend 60hours+/week at work.
Where's the +1 Moron mod when you need it.
You need to step away from the computer for a while. Too many if-then statements.
Wrong. 2012 is the end of the Human Era according to the Mayans. The Machine Era will follow.
Why would you have to sit it? Just keep it in your pocket and do the same thing! Everything will be wireless in the future!

This seems to be a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. Bush warned us about this long ago and tried to save us.
You're very out of touch, they are scrambling to match the iPhone/Android devices but are falling short. They just downgraded their sales forecasts for the quarter, and most likely for the year. http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/16/nokia-downgrades-sales-forecasts-thanks-to-competitive-environm/

Yeah, well the market sorta forced them to sell music without DRM right? Last I checked, none of my iTunes music purchases had DRM on them.
Because you're on their(The carriers) network and using their limited bandwidth.
The last thing they want is a bot net of Android phones.
Don't forget to pet your phone every night before you go to sleep!

Ballmer also laughed at the iPhone and the Wii. I wouldn't take his advice personally.
If they're such pieces of shit, where are the open standard wondrous operating systems?
Oh wait.

Yeah it might turn out like some of the Android horror stories where users ended up with viruses on their mobile phone...
