Bias is everywhere. Show me an European site of your choice - I don't even care what language you pick - that should be the unbiased place for all of this information.

I'm horribly sick and tired of this type of repeated banter. Ever thought of who might be the most responsible problem for your opinion? The company with the information not sharing any or the blog (don't say journalists, anybody with half a brain knows that it isn't true journalism) that spews forth sensationalistic misconceptions based on leaked or rumored information?

Seriously folks. If everything is so bad in America, please stop going to their blogs. Only read your own. Or better yet, get your blogs to be as prominent as you think Engadget and Gizmodo are.
Apologies for tarring every american with such a generalising brush...

but the opinion that Nokia is doomed, if not already dead and buried is largely from tech blogs and journos in the USA. Here are 2 from a 5 seconds google. Yes there are others, one vocal russian blogger in particular has turned on Nokia in recent months as well.
I do take them with a pinch of salt, but people I know do and have read them and commented to me about them.
I can't even be bothered to link anything from Gizmodo....

That's not to say I think Nokia is perfect. I think everyone here appreciates that Nokia has work to do, especially following the N900 experience, which is largely outside even the Ovi ecosystem, and poorly supported by Nokia compared to lowend symbian devices even.

For the record, I do tend to stick to mainly UK based blogs, especially regarding mobile tech. the phonesshow tends to be the choice for me, and always seems reasonably balanced.
