I have to say I am never buying another Nokia device.The CEO of the company admitted they made mistakes in releasing the N97 with the bugs and everything else. I think it was on engadget. This, which they do not tout as their flagship phone-only we do, is unacceptable and they knew full wellwhere this phone was going before releasing. You can go on and on about it being an early-adopter/geek phone but the truth is a lot of consumers didnt find this out until after the phone was released. Nokia did not say on its website that this is a geek phone or the like. It is released as if it is a full finished product. BS. I remember when you had to know which number you were called from to complete the call from call log-unacceptable.
I am learning to accept that this phone will never have the developers of say symbian, apple, or even android. Nokia has lost a customer for life and soon as I am able to get rid of this phone I will. You can flame me if you like but this is a dead platform to the majority of simple users and it is going nowhere fast. I could have kept my n95 if everything is going to be written in qt. I believe they dont know what they want to do and use us, as consumers, to float the company until they figure out what it is they want to do. I am tired of unfinished products making it to retail only to have to update it before you use it. Then you have issues supporting 64bit windows 7 when most mainstream cpu's have that installed from jump street. I think this was a disaster and we will hear two years from now how they made mistakes.
I know a lot of you are perfectly happy with this phone, as u should be, but a lot of people are not. When someone has to borrow my phone I have to navigate it for them as if they cannot read. Meego is a disaster waiting to happen. Putting two platforms that are new to make a super platform of garbage is bs. And they tout qt. Why release a new platform if you are going to do this. Why even have an OS if qt runs on everything? I may be misinformed about meego but it just seems like more marketing and following apple to make an app store to make money.
Nokia was good at making solid phones that had nice features. Now we need an update every ten minutes because some lazy *** developer forgot to add a line or two. I dont even get six hours of use from my phone with the supposed 24hr connectivity. I am constantly charging my phone twice a day. Dont even leave the house without car charger. Might not be the right place to put this but it is a poorly executed endeavor on Nokia's part and I am sad that so many companies release unfinished stuff because it can be updated for later funtions. I can go on and on but will not. Sad days ahead. I am not counting on anymore updates and I want to see how long before we get win7 64bit support.
Written from N900.
