They're not looking that amazing at all to me personally...
Lumina 710 & 800, former was going to be called 703, according to rumors.
I wonder if there's one other they'll announce before EOY that's far more beefy overall?

The specs is just ridicilous. Elop and the failing board is so damn desperate by using same design as N9. Funny when they also say "they dont want to release N9 in UK cause the consumers may be confiused cause they look the same" Oh really!? So why the **** use exact same design? Itrs obviours, they just talking bullcrap they so damn affraid N9 and Meego Harmattan would sell out ElopFailOS.

But I guess with alot of brain watching people may think WP strategy actually is better than Maemo Harmattan!

I remember last year we got pissed cause N9 was not released. But this year must be even bigger fail than last year.

Must say I love N9 even more after today Elop fail announcement

N9 is the best device comming from Nokia for years!

It feels like a slap in the face for those who want Nokia HW and more importantly SW.
Because 800 has no:

* NFC
* no frontcamera


And stop this ******** about no SW updates. N9 WILL have SW updates.

Question is where are the Apps going to come from ?...& how quickly ? Plus .....I just can't believe they left NFC off - that's a potential gamechanger....surely there's another high-ender to come ?

Specs-wise when you factor in the price.....it looks like a loss-leader. However it won't get off the ground without the Apps.....does anyone know where these will come from ??

And...will Nokia Music work without WiFI ?

It all seems very locked - in a la Microsoft / Apple.....I don't want to be tied into SkyDrive/Bing/M$... I have my own preferences.....

And the keynote was very Microsoft & not very Nokia.....I sincerely hope Nokia isn't going to be absorbed...

Not letting my n900 go just yet.....
Go get an Nokia N9 instead of WP ****. Elop will soon get fired when they realise no one will buy his devices...

3) is there no notification light??!

4) no windowsphone with a slideout keyboard?
If you want customizing OS, go get an N9 and if you get dissapointed by SwipeUI, I Doubt, you can install some Community edition and "Plasma Active" and then you have customized homescreens

Now try the same in WP7 phone I am sorry it will not work

WP is just EPIC FAIL

Interesting article about this here:
"Nokia's Lumia translates as 'prostitute' in Spanish"
http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_news...ute-in-spanish



Btw. it is not hard to find:
http://www.wordmagicsoft.com/dictionary/es-en/lumia.php

In Italian it means : lime.
lumia (n) [f.] (botanica - frutto)

lime (n) (botanica - frutto)

Elop will have "sour" times on the Spanish speaking markets.
