2.5 frickin years since the original N95 world beater was released and all the blokes at Nokia could come up with is this? Come on Blokia, you can do better than this. VGA screen? Bah, 800x480 screens have already arrived. 8MP? Nothing great, there are already 5 phones in the market with 8MP cams and 10/12MP ones are on the way. Half-QWERTY? RIM with its SureType design is the king in the hQWERTY world. 128MB RAM on their flagship device for 2009 (Corolla)?!?!?! Whiskey tango foxtrot Nokia??? No wonder Nokia's market share is beginning to slip.

I'm excited about COROLLA :

3.0-inch VGA display, non-touch, 8MP camera, half QWERTY keyboard, 128MB RAM, 8GB ROM, WiFI, UPnP, HSPA, AGPS, FM transmitter

But what exactly is half-Qwerty keyboard ??

If you read the original page, which GSMArena didn't bother giving us a link to (thanks) you'll see that the column marked "Product Availability" should read "Prototype Availability" - a big difference (thanks again).

What is ROM? Read Only Memory rite? Why need so much ROM on board?
You cannot write or store anything on ROM rite? If it is for the phone OS and other phone software then it should be very powerful i guess?

> In reply to [deleted post]How is the decision of having a 32gb phone be said to be stupid?. Has it ever occured to you that you are the only one who prefers 500mb in a phone?. Why you choose to expose your ignorance to the whole world beats me...
