A) Don't know why this site keeps opening in russian for me. (me no speak russian). Same on engadget too.

B) Calm down. It's not even a 'review' of a device. It's opinon and from what i've read quite a biased, hateful review on an unfinished, unpolished Nokia device. It's has one of the best hardware configs out there. It's OS is symbian^3, only a transit phase before ^4 at end of this year.

C) Not every single device that Nokia release will be aimed at killing the iphone/being more funky than the Android etc etc. Nokia release tens of handsets a year. It's just another phone. If you want to compare OS and Hardware then use N900 as a benchmark.

D) Nokia are VERY popular in the rest of the world and this handset will probably sell very well in the middle east/Asia (huge markets btw). Not everyone wants Android styled OS that require 3G/2G which a lot of people dont have access to.


On my recent trip to Asia I saw a villager standing by in the street with his Nokia (7210) plugged into an extension lead outside a shop. The phone lay there in the dirt just charging. Thats the reach of Nokia. I can guarantee you, Android/Apple will not take place of ease of use/affordible handsets for the wider market. Nokia make phones for everyone. Not just fanboys.
