In short, the MSNBC writer does NOT know much about anything and this is just another stupid article that causes similarly misinformed consumers to continue to pass negative and totally false judgment on Nokia and their products. It is almost as if there is a conspiracy in the US and someone has put a "hit" out on Nokia. If I was MSNBC, I would never allow that author to post on my site again. The sad part is that most American consumers will take this article and others like it for truth and will not even consider the N8 or Nokia products.

I am amazed at how many americans (I am american) tell me that the Iphone (any Iphone, not just v4) is better than everything, even the N900. There is a fine line between great Marketing, brainwashing and lying.....

People need to realize that internet journalism is NOT held to the same standard that printed journalism used to be held to. Anyone with a way to enter text and permission to post can spew whatever comes to mind....

The reason for this article mostly is to promote and popularize their own domestic products. Getting average Joe to believe that Nokia N8 is worse due to the lower clock speed is positive for them, but in reality bull****. Everybody is about 1GHz CPU, just so that they can say they have such a phone even though they have no idea what the use is. I can't believe that in this age one would buy a 1GHz phone with no features rather than a fully featured Nokia N82.
