Re: Nokia CEO Blames Salesmen For Windows Phone Struggles
 

Please take note that I did mention, outside USA, perhaps I should have added, western countries . I'm from Asia. And heck, people still use SD cards, USB on the go, bluetooth, due to the expensive internet data rates. I use them almost everyday, try to avoid transfering files thru internet, which is added cost, and.... slow, esp if large files. If one needs to get home to transfer something, might as well use the thumb drive.

The example I related are real complaints from users in my country, some on Nokia FB page(not sure if deleted by now), some in Nokia Support Discussion

This kinda stuff is something that those from developed countries would not fully understand, unless & until you all experience it yourselves. ;);)

Look at the countries where Iphone is not top on the graph.

And btw, this is Maemo forum, so naturally people who prefer open source or customization or non restricted OS would be here. If I go to a Windows Phone page or forum & talk bad abt WP, they can and will tell me to get lost. It's the same over at GSM Arena, My nokia Blog, or anywhere over the internet

intermilan stadium and its on their home, are you still wanna use ur juventus uniform and yelling at inter fans tribun? i call it suicide, :D

Re: Nokia CEO Blames Salesmen For Windows Phone Struggles
 

You talk like people share files using SD card slots on their smartphones everytime they meet.
And to be honest I think that if people in emergent countries had the money they would be happy to sacrifice SD slots and BT transfer in exchange for an iPhone. Anyway different needs call for different products, as you say.

This is why I tried to discuss my point of view: I was hoping for a different reaction from people who are smart enough to use Linux and other "elite" tools, but it seems that I was wrong and someone actually behaves like those fanboys by ditching my thoughts as "trolling".
What annoys me the most is that I use MeeGo, I like it much more than all other OSes (never had iOS though) and I was just saying WP7 is gonna do good...and get laughed at (with people questioning my nationality, it's ridiculous) because seems like it's a blasphemy.

Good to see that you think and act like those monkeys at the stadium who stab each other after a game.

Re: Nokia CEO Blames Salesmen For Windows Phone Struggles
 

The thread is specifically about Windows phones. Hence any opinions should be welcome. People dont care how open phone is, people dont want a phone that will have a seizure, reboot often, not being able to lock GPS fast enough, not mix conversation threads, have easy keyboards, adjustable fonts so that grannys can read on size 18 font, and screen resolution that makes reading crystal clear and camera that will give them nice pics.

That is what 99% of the people like. And NOKIA needs to pay bills, so it needs to cater to 99%. The less than 1% that wants open phone, and ability to tinker should be happy that NOKIA gave them the devices it did. Tinker away and dont complain. Unfortunately N9 and n900 have problems. They cant please 99% of the population when competition offers a better product for the 99%.

desktop becoming irrelevant? lol, what is replacing it? those "tablets" that cant actually do anything?

Re: Nokia CEO Blames Salesmen For Windows Phone Struggles

Re: Nokia CEO Blames Salesmen For Windows Phone Struggles
 

No, that's okay. I'll leave the looking hard in the mirror to you, raging fanboi. :P I'm not sure that clearly identifying the problem with MS's platform is equitable with hate, either. heh Good try at a dismissal, though.

Could it be that openness of the platform helped? I mean--ACTUAL openness that lets manufacturers adopt a platform (unlike the way Maemo and MeeGo was handled).

These days, what difference does that make? Maemo is gone, man.

Once again, your...bias is showing, the western perception of those in Asia & developing countries. Dont think people in developing countries no have money. If we can afford a 64GB N9 or Samsung S2, Galaxy Note, BB 9900,or those high end devices, we can afford Iphone.Money is not the main reason

What if no internet line at the location? or EDGE speed. The other aspect would more freedom for customization, which Android has, which Symbian has, and to a certain extent N9 has.

Iphone-> restricted. Windows Phone-> restricted.
Over here, those who didnt get the Iphone high possibility will not get the Windows Phone. Long time Nokia users, who are still with Nokia all these rocky years, higher possibility/percentage will cross over to the Android.

How many years has Windows Phone been in the market? Its market share still not touch 3%, wasnt it Bada has higher market share?

The funniest thing, after Lumia 800 came out, now, the 1st question when someone wants to buy a new Nokia, "Does it have bluetooth?". A question previously need not be asked, standard feature in Nokia & assumed to have:p

Just pouring some gasoline on the fire here:

but daaaamn, with all iPhones/Samsungs going for the dull rectangle shape this thing could put Nokia back in play with stylish design (also no need to carry your digicam with you on vacation, though this hits the wrong companies)
