Concerning the theft issue: I think if Murtazin still has the phones, then he is a thief. Also, he says on that terrible TechCrunch video that he doesn't have the phones. This would then make him a liar as well. How he actually could have the phones (to keep) is beyond me, however. I mean how do you get the phone out of the company with nobody coming looking for it? And how can it all be this one guy? I also feel that there's the real inside man that Nokia's after

Concerning his reviews: I think Murtazin has been pretty "correct" in his reviews. I think when he bashes Symbian^3, then he is absolutely correct about a lot of things, eventhough they are only his opinions. For eg. Sym^3 isn't spectacularly reworked, and this is also what he said. Who disagrees with this? And after our experiences with firmware updates to S60 phones, not to mention PR1.2., who here honestly thinks that the final version of the Sym^3 on N8 will be somehow radically different to the one we see on the prototypes? Is Nokia known for frequent and high-quality soft/firmware updates?

Concerning the talk about good Nokia phones: I think Nokia got away with the 5800XM because people were still unsure of how well Nokia was keeping up at this time. The 5800XM did its job, it was something completely new from Nokia and it wasn't expensive. In a way its maybe Nokia's best effort to understand the common phone user. It was only the N97 that tipped the scales and the dislike spread like wildfire. I think in this sector Murtazin has done a good job of shaking Nokia up by saying what's what. He's dissed the phones, the public has gotten their hands on the phones and then agreed with Murtazin.
