Nokia Raises Series 40 To New Heights
Why Series 40?
The new 80 & 70 model phones would be far more attractive to me if they ran Symbian. Any thoughts as to why Nokia chose to run them on Series 40 instead?

Consumer friendliness.
The series 70-80 are for high-end, business oriented customers. The series 40 are for more consumer-minded customers, their features while typical of high-ended phones, lack any higher functionality. The 6270 and 6265 are a good example of this, they have stereo quality sound but really come with no development tools for the music you place on it.
It's good, though, that Nokia's coming out with something for CDMA that isn't a clunker. And hopefully they're using the Qualcomm chips so that Verizon'll pick 'em up.

nokia made a special point that they chose series 40 to make things more user friendly series 60 and especially series 80/90 are just not up to snuff yet when it comes to usability.
with the release of these phones, though, nokia also announced that the new version of series 40 on them provides any more apis and developer tools than previous versions. it should basically be as easy to use as series 40 but as extensible as series 60. pretty cool, heh?
