Sorry, so it does, I did not notice that. My mistake. I was never questioning the validity of bada, thats a given. I was just thinking that dumping symbian off hand like that when, as far as i know, they have yet to ship a single bada hands

I had thought it had been picked up in other places, but fair enough if it wasn't (see op reply below). Like i said I'm just being cynical... I know that it was about international banking as i read the the story when it posted; but how man
