Reviews like this won't help Nokia (see attached picture). The Lumia 900 isn't seen as a special device - but should be one to have the success Nokia expects from it.
A nice design and LTE won't make it superior (for most people LTE doesn't matter anyways). Even though MS/Nokia hopes to sell lots of L900 with the deep price, it could have a negative side effect. A cheap price can also make a product look cheap or make people think it would be cheap quality. I'm really disappointed in how the L900 was brought to the market...or maybe it's just simply the phone which isn't good enough. |

Maybe it wasn't a great idea to decide to keep losing money on these handsets until the OS can be made to support the hardware and features that Nokia needs to add? Or maybe the OS UI/UX isn't quite attractive enough, aesthetically or otherwise? Maybe that hasn't even been identified as a problem? Or maybe people just don't like the idea of Windows on a mobile phone? Or maybe the next closest user experience to a "modernised alternative to Symbian" is what users wanted and that is not Windows phone (i.e. there is no familiarity or psychological migration or connection for old Nokia users to Windows phone)? Maybe Android is specifically targeted towards this market share and that is why they are currently more successful? Or maybe Nokia should have only 'added' Windows phone as one of its platforms, to its product offering lineup, keeping its pre-existing strategy, and only fully migrated in future IF the OS is ready and has gained market share/mind share? Maybe by the time Windows Phone 8 is released, the competition will have moved on and they will still be suffering the 'feature non-competitiveness' that is often picked-up on in reviews? Maybe. |
Re: Nokia on the brink of failure
If I knew Elop was going to destroy symbian after a nice UI update in the future I would have never started down the road of Nokia phones buying the N95 8gb and the N8 I would have probably done more research and looked for a Japanese phone or something like that that had a lot of equipment in it.
If I knew Elop was going to end the maemo line in the future right when it got to step 5 and went mainstream. I would have never bought the N810, the N900 and the N9. If I knew ahead of time a MS trojan horse was going to take the steering wheel of Nokia because he wants to play monopoly with Microsoft and steal our step five design. I would have not considered Nokia at all. I remember when Android was just an emulator and I downloaded it and was trying it out. I probably would have went that direction and probably will now that Elop has trashed the competing Nokia OS's in favor of a monopolistic driven software company. So I think Elop has achieved the exact opposite of what he claims to be aiming for in public. Furthermore I really dislike that winblows 7 UI, it looks like a one home screen with big ugly tiles. I don't think I'll like windows late either except the parts that they stole from our maemo interface. And I do not believe this "we like open source" is sincere http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/openn...ault.aspx#home |

Elop is not the problem. Elop is just a bi-product, a sort of inevitable waste or poo that drips from the Nokia Board, like sweat from the crotch of a dirty old drunk in a Finnish sauna. |

Re: Nokia on the brink of failure
...And Nokia decided to go Windows 8 for their new upcoming tablet. This is going to be a joy to watch as it nosedives RIGHT into the same junkpile the Zune ended up.
Windows 8 tablets: Not open for business http://www.zdnet.com/blog/networking...-business/2261 From his Google+ comment about his article: "You know, I really don't care for Windows 8 much, but as I explained in this story I did see it having one spot where it might shine: On business tablets where Active Directory (AD) support would make it a natural for Windows shops and for companies that are taking a jaundiced view of the whole "bring your own device" (BYOD) movement. Well, guess what MSFT isn't putting in its tablets? AD. " "Amazing." |
Re: Nokia on the brink of failure
Enterprise support on WP7 is somewhat lacking, now no AD on Win8?
Seriously dumb decisions being made right now. |

I mean... they (Microsoft) produce enterprise products and they're not there now. They're missing an entire sector, one that Blackberry pretty much still owns and iPads/iPhones now do support. It's called sales opportunities. WP7 and Win8 tablet will need each and every advantage they can muster over the rapid selling iPhone/iPad. |
Re: Nokia on the brink of failure
That will be a disaster if true. People use tablets in lieu of computers these days.

Re: Nokia on the brink of failure
I know many people atm see the full blown PCs as a dieing species, but I have to disagree. Even though I myself do most of my home computing tasks on a tablet now I would never want to live without a high powered PC at home. For the forseeable future there are just too many things a tablet can't do. Microsoft would be wiser to focus on their strengths on the desktop market instead of sinking billion after billion into unsuccessful attempts to gain a foothold into the mobile market.
Windows 7 had the genes to be the foundation for a near perfect desktop OS, and instead of using this potential they bastardize it with their metrosexual WP Gui. I have played with both Windows 8 previews and I find them totally unacceptable as a Desktop OS. If the finished W8 will really look like this and lack even a start menu, I and many others will stick with W7. Maybe we are really seeing the beginning of the end of M$. Sorry for being somewhat off topic. ;) |

Re: Nokia on the brink of failure
I mentioned this before and i'm still convinced this would be the way forward.
Imagine the N9 and the N950 were developed further. Better, bigger screens. Better battery. Top of the line dual or quad core processors and more RAM. You buy your phone. You take it home. You unbox it. You connect the USB from your phone to your computer. And Nokia Suite opens. It asks you one simple question: Choose your operating system Android Windows Phone MeeGo Each operating system will be made for the device and will work perfectly. How about that for an ecosystem? You wanna try windows, you got it. You wanna make sense of Android.. there it is. MeeGo, it's there. Puts the power of choice back with the consumer and we get to use it on the hardware we all want to use. Not only that, but people who would normally have gone with Windows or Android would get that exposure to MeeGo that they normally wouldn't. It would be win win for Nokia, Windows and the Linux community. |

I guess if the carriers could control what OS choices and updates you had the option of installing then we might get something like this but I very much doubt they would go through all this trouble for such a thing. |

Here's a good article write-up on PAE: http://www.pallab.net/2009/12/30/ena...ndows-vista-7/ From the article: "Microsoft claims that it is not their fault and is instead a limitation of the 32 bit architecture. At first glance this seems correct. 32 bit processor using 32 bit registers should be only able to address up to 4 GB of RAM (232 = 4G). However, this is not actually true. The main reason being a feature called Physical Address Extension (PAE). And THIS is the company whose products and designs you want running on your phone? Heh.. no wonder why people are staying away. |
Re: Nokia on the brink of failure
There are a lot of old drivers that make Windows 32bit with PAE and more than 4GB bluescreen. To my eternal disgrace I even wrote on of them for a company that used to be the leader in NICs but is now forgotten.
That is why MS limited it. Even the dll and loader hacks don't help you with those drivers. |

Seriously, what is that link supposed to prove? Apollo won't even come to existing Lumias, so why bother? I thought the Lumia was supposed to be the new an great, but it turns out the Lumia is just a stop gap solution, more like Windows Me or whatever it was called. I don't find the Lumia all that tempting, but if I'm getting one, at least I will be sure I get the real thing, not something that is obsolete in a few months. So now Lumia is the new N9, scrapped even before most people know about it. I remember the old days, back when smartphones were smart. I had three choices; WM, Palm and Symbian. Symbian was King. Palm was the smoothest and quickest. WM was, I don't know exactly, but it was something. Today I also have three choices: Harmattan, Symbian and Android. Symbian still is king-ish on the right device. Harmattan is a bit undefinable, but OK. Android keeps getting better. Tomorrow my three choices are: Android, Android and Android. So while I make up my mind about which Android, I can watch Nokia go down the drain. What is so great about Apollo? Or to rephrase, what is so bad about WP7? |
