Its funny how I see a massive generalization of things around here...

People tend to think about the North American market as the only gold pot in the world and forget that the growing markets are actually in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

One device to rule all does not apply in this markets. Sadly the rest of the world can't actually afford to buy SUV's and change their phones with the latest bling. Nokia does very well in the low end market and kinda, just kinda, lost the touch after the iPhone came out... The times they are a-changing.

Money is on the more expensive models, indeed, but Nokia will catch up. Interest will fade on the iPhone OS as well since everything looks the same, behaves the same and will look old if they dont upgrade.... The excuse that people are actually "looking for consistency" holds true till a certain point. Then people will get bored and the OS will fall on ostracism...

Nokia should focus on bringing content to its device. Buy spotify, buy some video provider... Do something and integrate it to the devices. This will bring the big bucks to it... Apple is doing very well on this part even though the iPhone irritating to use.

I guess that my only advice to nokia is: Add some bling, possibility to download britney spears album and 2 tickets for a McMeal... We have a winner!

Seriously now, about M6 on the n900 I have my doubts. Nokia has mentioned that M5 is a transitioning platform to the last step, hence the lack of marketing compared to an inferior model (aka n97), and things will be in a better shape on M6. BUT, if the n900 proves to be the ultimate success outselling even the n97 do you really think Nokia will shoot itself in the foot and infuriate the GEEK base?! The same geeks that develop for this platform? I dont have an answer but I think they are examining very carefully how the developer interest and consumer interest are linked and will decide to support, or not, the device...

And OH... almost forgot. In Apple you pay for your OS "updates". Which include letting me use my Bluetooth (thanks Apple you are so damn kind) and having MMS... Nokia you get this for free so lets stop whining okay?
