Dusan: Nokia strikes back with a classic phone, and some gold. Plus, the Symbian widgets are coming!

A lot really happened over the last couple of days. I was so damn ill that I haven’t been writing since Monday. But I’m back to defend all the right (that’s Symbian) values.
First, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) released a simple-looking candybar smartphone – 6120 Classic, a device that no one would say is fast as hell (sports an HSDPA radio). Then, we also saw a new 8800 Sirocco from Nokia, but this time dressed in 18-carat gold plating. The lack of functionality is easily compensated with all the gold.
Finally, the Finnish giant announced S60 widgets. Despite the fact that we’ve already seen several mobile widget solutions, some of them even coming from Nokia (WidSets) — what distinguishes this announcement is that this time Nokia promises a desktop-like widgets gone mobile. In other words, Nokia bets that millions of new applications could be available within a year for the new platform.
Now, back to mocking Will and his WinMo things. Will, man – what about stability? I haven’t seen any responses from you man? Yeah it’s nice to see HTC rising, but I still want your comment on stability. Spill it out!
I’m exhausted. Still have to rest. Arguing with Will, and writing such words as “WinMo” and “HTC” always gets me dizzy. Stay tuned…
