Seriously? Just look at the competition.

Strong design, unique design, innovative design - of both hardware and software - is what will get Nokia through it's current malaise. You really need to question this? Strewth. :rolleyes:

Hmm. Yes. Then what? I see design evolution of UI and software. To me all touchscreen phones, as I said, look like they came from same line :|

Still I would like to hear your analysis on this matter. I have seen competition many times before this.

That's why Nokia need someone like Frank Nuovo to come up with something different (on the hardware front at least) - remember any of his designs do you from the 90s and early 00s? I do, I bought several of them.

@millhouse
Yes. According to some people they were masterpiece of their own time and to some people they were terrible. I would say that quite many people praised Nokia design in 90-00. Retrospectively itīs always easy to say that Oh mi good how this and this sucked, but thatīs pretty much wrong way to analyze it. Your point being?

You'll have to start buying Vertu phones then.

Vertu is Nokia sub-brand. The idea and concept came from Frank Nuovo, and he's still designs the Vertu phones.

Ok tired of fixing factual errors in your post. Have a good day.

If Nokia chose to kick out some English "douchebags" because they were "douchebags" then fair play to Nokia for making the right decision for once.

Me, bitter? Nah... just funny watching the touchy get all twitchy. :)

it was the first thing that came to my mind, a logical explanation for your grudge against nokia, finland etc.

and you implicitly know his responsibilities and amount of authority and power to make decisions based on a single title?

Yep, and actually I know all of that...

There were no factual errors to be fixed as I never claimed Nuovo wasn't involved in Vertu design, just that the current Vertu designs are tacky (which is the entire remit of Vertu, to supply blinged out Nokia phones to the well heeled).

My point is that while Nuovo was at Nokia many of his designs were innovative, which can of course polarise buyers. And Nokia design has gone downhill since he departed.
