Nokia seeks to tap the X-Factor

Who is running Nokia ?

Is somebody deliberately trying to kill this company ? They keep going from bad to worse. For example, the N900 appeared to be a step in the right direction but then for some strange reason they left it half baked and then ran off with chip giant Intel. Now they announced the N8 since April but it has not yet been released.

I've been a Nokia fan for a while (they still make great hardware but software usability is shoddy to say the least) but I dont think I'll be buying any device from them again and this sort of XFactor strategy makes my decision a lot easier.

It just works my foot

Hopefully we would hear less of the cringe worthy tagline - 'It just works'. Haha how the proud have been humbled!. Love it.

Nokia, Apple and Sudden Extinction Events

I agree with you

I've not even bothered with my iPod touch since I got the N900. Its terrific hardware and impressive Linux OS.

Unfortunately, Nokia dropped the ball on minor UI issues making the N900 quirker than necessary - its so hard to believe !!.

Nokia's problem is of its own doing, its almost as if it is trying very hard to FAIL; could sabotage may be at work over there I wonder ?. How else can one explain the decision to spend ages transitioning Symbian to open source without any effort to improve its UI first and foremost. Nokia has made life so easy for Android, iOS and RimOS. The N8 is great hardware and is also packed to the grill but its bound to be let down by lousy Nokia marketing. Lets see what the new mobile exec Anssi does.

As for me, I'll stick with Nokia - its all about the tech (HDMI, Xenon, writeable data paging, Dolby sound, full Linux etc) for me but I am not a very fashionable person, sadly for Nokia there are not a lot of us to go round
