I said it much prior this no-upgrade-path announcement - the person who came up with the idea of beta-test ad campaign ought to be shot in the head and left in a ditch to rot!

They didn't even realize they were throwing stabs at themselves with that campaign - it is not as if both Microsoft and Nokia haven't had anything to do with mobile prior to that. They essentially said to their own customers: "Fooled ya! You've been our beta-testers, but we promise this is the real deal." Only an idiot could think this could be a positive ad campaign.

And with today's announcement we see the other side of the ad - not was it only insulting to their existing customers, it showed a great potential to turn around and bite them in the arse. Oh Irony, thou art a harsh mistress...

flagship, low-end?

Well, lately all the Nokia dubbed flagships were, ironically, low-end :rolleyes:

let's be honest with ourselves, shall we?
Flop killed NOKIA with his "burning platform memo" scaring customers away who otherwise would for many have gone on buying Symbian devices and would now proudly show multitasking + swiping + 41 MP camera and what not to their envious buddies with Android or iOS devices
:mad:

that's why the N9-64GB is 30% more expensive then a L900, i guess... to mark the difference:eek:
not that the L900 isn't already in rather stratospheric price regions >¦-)
hard to understand though why a N9-16GB can be up to 25% cheaper then a L900 :p
who would be idiotic enough to get a L900 then?

Huh? Sorry, but my whole Micro$oft rhetoric is still stuck in the Slashdot era from a few years back and I've not kept up with that whole "windoze" speak.

Care to enlighten me? I'm being serious, btw.

Nice little touch on Scalado at the end of the announcement.
Nokia buys Scalado, and everyone is focussed on the software side of the equation, but has anyone given consideration to the rumour circulating about Scalado enhanced hardware in the upcoming BB10 devices?
MS' only hope to get numbers up will be by claiming market segments currently being occupied by the like of BB. Stitchng them with licensing or Patent bans via their new NOK proxy is a great way of hurting your competition, or at the least making some $$ of them..
As for the WP8 announcement, there goes what little revenue Nokia were hoping to make out of WP handsets for this year
