Gizmodo Article on Nokia, Design vs Engineering
 
http://gizmodo.com/#!5767273/nokia-culture-will-out

Interesting article, I was surprised not to see chatter on this yet, maybe I missed it.

Basically saying Nokia is driven by accountants and engineers and the user experience falls to the wayside.

You are asking for trouble posting a gizmodo article about Nokia article here. The Nokians absolutely hate gizmodo.

Well, Gizmodo is pretty much 100% bonded to Apple. Their new site design fits perfectly within the iPad's screen, and they forcibly redirect everything else (except other iProducts, I imagine) to their mobile site.

I don't expect them to give anyone else a fair shake. Though the article is well written, and highlights what's been known for a while: hardware came before software at Nokia, and it was weighed down by needless bureaucracy.

It's written by an ex-Nokian.

Not a bad article as such, but that story has allready been told many times. Says mostly the same as the other billion or so similar articles during the past year.

I thought they got banned forever from Apple event after the stunt they pulled with the iphone 4? Isn't their love story over or are they acting like the jilted ex-friend that leaves creepy messages in your voicemail?:D
