Re: Chat With Nokia VP: Meego handheld this year but no Tablet Planned
 
I really dont understand how nokia makes decisions....

1. They first came into the tochscreen space with the 7710. Then they thought touch screen is never good on a phone and went back to slider. If they would have kept working on the toch screen they would be the market leader in touch phones too.
2. Then there was apple iphone and they started reducing the size of the screen.
3. Now there are tablets everywhere and they are not making them.
4 Then there is the biggest blunder of wasting time and resorces for symbian in touch phones

A lot depends for nokia on the n9

What is the N900? I thought there were a number of people arguing it was a tablet or a computer-first, while the other (Nokia's own marketing included) argues it's a phone first.

Is the N900 a tablet? Clearly, Nokia marketed the 770/N8x0's as tablets.

My comment had to do with the off-topic rant I quoted.

But where does Nokia's marketing declare the N900 is a phone first? The official designation is mobile computer.

They screwed up on the N800 too: it was listed under Phones. That caused massive confusion. I tried many times to get that corrected, no luck.

A separate tablet-oriented category is needed... "mobile computers" could work.

Haha, I think Nokia Marketing listing the n800 as a phone is a clear indicator that marketing has no clue what they're doing. =P

They've called my N810 a phone too when it came back from repairs. I can only blame marketing so much before I start blaming sheer ignorance.

But the whole mobile computer/internet tablet/whatever name is really not too bad. I just hate the fact that Nokia had the friggin' edge on what's out there now and just didn't stick to their guns when they should have, imho.

Would've, could've, should've... I just don't like the iPad.

That's why you shouldn't blindly trust a brand.
