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?
