I guess I didn't make myself clear. In each of my discussions about Nokia losing mindshare, losing ground, et al, I kept my discussion to the American market. Just until recently I expanded my talk to include places I had traveled to outside of the US.

And yes... Nokia is losing mindshare. Too expensive in some areas, too lacking in others, noticeably behind in technology - perceived by end-users - and a definite slow down. And when I stated that "Nokia had no real carrier presence", it pertained to the American market.

Thus the initial comments of "egocentric" since that's the market I'm more familiar with first. Just as you are more familiar, despite my total amount of living in Europe being just under a decade, with the European market.

Well, N95 is also made by Nokia, true or false?
True. But it's not the aforementioned 5800. Nor is it really brand new technology either. It's been twice replaced, true or false?

Not only I am free from "heavy denial" here (you are stating a well known fact), but I do not really care about this. You should direct your laments toward someone working at Nokia, preferably in their marketing department. All I ever claimed was that
I'd fear I'd get the same response from them as you... circular. It's not a direct attack, I fear that something is just lost in translation whilst addressing you.

1. Evidence of Nokia losing ground in Europe appears to be overstated.
I've never stated it.

2. Symbian/S60 may not be slick or shiny, but it is perfectly usable, at least for me.
We're going to 100% disagree here. I find it inconsistent and clunky. Also stated earlier in the this thread and site by me - it's an opinion. You're entitled as I am.

Any other claim you are trying to attribute to me will not stick. Scroll back and read what I wrote before commenting.
I recommend the exact same my friend.
