I'm sort of in a similar position. My old Tungsten E died,
and considering
the doubtful future of palm, I've moved to the Nokia E90.
The big screen and
full querty keyboard are great! The only thing I miss (and I
miss a real
lot) is plucker. It would be great if I could get plucker on
the symbian. I
think it's a great platform and it would be great if plucker
can be ported
to it. Is there any chance of that happening?
