Nokia needs to do the following in the U.S. market:

1. Get a swift kick in the jimmy. Apple did that already with the iPhone and have returned for another kick with the iPod Touch.

2. Find that guy who went on some news TV program with the N95 when the iPhone launched. All the baiting in the world from the beotch across the desk from him couldn't get him to even mention the word "iPhone". He's bad-@$$.
Get HIM to get out the word more throughout the various news media outlets that Nokia "is coming". Make the damn thing like a viral Jaws commercial or something.

3. Whatever that touchscreen Nokia thingy that leaked out, FINISH IT and get it out there. I'd rather buy that since I know Nokia's going to allow 3rd-party software on it as well as provide a good SDK for it, unlike Apple and their iPhone offering.

4. Rejigger the Hildon interface on the N800. Those huge icons and bars taking up all that screen real estate should be *optional* not *required*. And fix all the damn dpkg/tar bugs introduced in the newest firmware.
Basically, have the tablet team actually listen to us. So far they are a little but only via reporting critical bugs on their bugzilla.

Just remember that 99.9% of all people who work at consumer electronics outlets are phucking *****s. Everytime I'm in one of those places and they keep asking me over and over again if they can "help" me I tell them that since they couldn't "help" themselves in the first place by finding a better job just what the hell makes them think they can help me? I also inform them that if I ever need help finding something in their store then their store layout is phucked up.
God, I miss Germany. That crap NEVER happens over there.
