Re: Nokia exec Niklas Savander welcomes your questions on Twitter

Oh... that nav that costs money, above the purchase of the phone.

Yeah. I totally get your point now.

you are missing the point entirely, OVI MAPS, yes we have it but it doesn't work as a navigation system

Any decent smart phone has a navigation system and it is sad that nokia in their flagship phone they don't have it specially when they own navteq and even the cheapest symbian model you can get from Nokia has a decent OVI maps.

Well from Nokia's point of view cited about 1000 times in TMO "they are new to Maemo and they are adding new features all the time" lolz...

oh and N900 is not a flagship for them either :mad:

maybe you should write in a such way that the point is clear and there are no factual mistakes in the text?

e: and you don't know how to visit www.sygic.com with your browser?

I'm not a fan of social networking sites at all, really. I just signed up one day because my wife made a funny quiz so I wanted to take it for fun. It actually has entirely incorrect information about me on it... Asking facebook to keep a secret would be like... well.. asking google.

Still, when a quake hits (I'm in California), Twitter beats heck out of the news media. And Iran news was also very valuable.

Interesting POV.. (as is the other guy re: custom searches).. but, while I am a bit of an internet junky; I already have this forum, the Meego Forum, a third forum, Facebook, IRC, and email to keep up with. Adding another site, that performs damn near identical functionality to a site I'm already on (actually somewhat less.. as it's status only, and doesn't include all the fancy games, quizzes, and other junk that I no longer actually use :D) - is just not worth it to me.

It's just that this guy was saying that such-and-such an event was happening, and he sounded interested. He said he didn't have Twitter like I'd say I don't have an iPad. But he could get Twitter in less than a minute, check out the event, and delete his account later. I couldn't do that with an iPad -- I'd have to buy one first.

So it was good to get an explanation of your point of view.

I agree 100%.. but at the same time: It'd have to be one helluva event to get me to go through that much work.. just to post a question. I probably would have taken your original quoted guys method too: Post here, someone else has twitter and can ask the question.

</thread derail ;)>

This is what I've been touting ever since I got my Droid. I was abused so much by Nokia during the years I've owned Nokia stuff, that it was like a breath of fresh air to deal with Verizon (who doesn't have the greatest record of satisfying customers, mind you) and Amazon (who realy DID treat me very, very well in exactly the way you describe!).

Nokia has been an incredible lesson to me of how a company or merchant should NEVER treat customers. If I ever run a business, I'm going to absolutely keep that experience close to heart and make sure my brand stays close to my customers' hearts.

I think it also said open-source, Maemo and a few other things that may or may not be relevant. From the sound of it, the N900 will be a much better Android phone than Maemo. Aw well.

Re: Nokia exec Niklas Savander welcomes your questions on Twitter

I don't use twitter or Facebook either.

Why don't you ask him something he could answer:
In the past, many of the customer expectations and disappointments with the N900 seemed to be a result of Nokia marketing's lack of even a fundamental understanding of the Maemo OS.

Will there be a specific marketing team for MeeGo devices that does have knowledge of these future MeeGo products?

How much sales and marketing resources is he planning to commit to MeeGo before a product is released?
