Re: Tablet Advocacy
 

I think there is a problem, but it's Nokia's not yours. A lot of promises were made and
implied by Nokia ads and publicity. Since the N800 never fully lived up to its hype,
those who trust Nokia naturally expected it to supply fixes by way of upgrade. We
waited a heck of a long time for this anemic upgrade.

The N800 is nice, but it could have been a contender. I don't see enough effort being made to compete successfully with companies like Apple. In the meantime, the N800 fits my needs more or less perfectly, so I will just keep enjoying it for what it is, for as long as it lasts.

Nokia needs people like Texrat participating here. This is the center of the N800 world, and its fate will be determined here. If Nokia doesn't understand that, it cannot succeeed.

geneven,

I agree with everything you say.

Re: Tablet Advocacy
 

I think that Nokia by been so removed from the audience is really missing some things. I believe that the corporation should communicate with their audience. I am assuming that at least a couple of people over at Nokia read this forum and surely they could have sensed that a letdown was being created by all the meaningless hype. All they would have to do is instruct Ari Jaaksi to release a blog post or even a forum post to say that there would be no BT support, and no skype video support or something along those lines to temper the rabbid fanbase.
Texrat its unfortunate that the higher ups don't realize how much of an advantage they have in having an employee embedded in the user community, I for one think the new update is a step in the right direction.

Mobile, I appreciate it and agree... but my own comments along those lines were met with swift and strong resistance.

Re: Tablet Advocacy
 

Nokia is taking "baby steps" in improving the N800 while it's competitors are taking leaps and bounds towards greater achievements and products in the internet/phone tablet market.

I feel at this point in time Nokia's corporate cultural will keep the company in the position of a non-leader. They need to study companies like Apple, Toyota etc.

Re: Tablet Advocacy
 

That was absolutely dumb for Nokia to do. Indeed, if they had allowed you to do what you had proposed to them, it could have avoided so many misunderstandings and false expectations! Very dumb of you, Nokia! Very dumb!

Re: Tablet Advocacy
 

Not a bad idea. I'll wait till october though -- see my thread in "competitors" for the explanation.

Actually, at the moment I'm in two minds whether to dunk the old (working) P910 in the pool, or the N800. It'll depend on how soon and how well Nokia is going to solve the firmware mess...

Companies only have so many tries to get something right. Customers only have so much patience. I hope to God the right Nokians are paying attention...
