I get what you're saying... and fully agree.
I think people are getting too far into comparing unlike phones for unlike users way too often for my likes.
The rest... I've commented on enough quite a few times already. Call a thief a thief.

Although I'm offended by the ignoramus sitting behind the 'news desk' and making stupid jokes about 'coldwar russia', I get their sentiments.
Nokia churns out an ungodly amount of phones per year that these incremental steps aren't so special anymore. Compounded by how quickly Nokia drops support for their older phones to sell you a new one, we're not positioned at a comfortable angle even as Nokia users.

Who cares about Nokia? I don't last time I checked Nokia was the largest manufacturer of cellphones in almost every market. You know maybe the whole mobile industry doesn't revolve around the iPhone. I'm not trying to be a Nokia fanboy it is just fanboys in general annoy me Apple, Nokia, Google, Microsoft, HTC, Sony or whatever they are annoy me.

This is an American issue, one which is almost entirely irrelevant and more or less not deserving of any deeper emotion than "Meh"
Americans for a lot of years now have been fed a diet of antiquated mobile technology, low to mid range stuff. The average phone purchase is made via contract through one of several telecommunications carriers - phones are frequently crippled and heavily subsidized.
Along comes the iPhone, pretty mediocre in regard to features, plenty of better phones for sale at that time. About the only relevant aspect of the whole iPhone craze was the capacitive touch screen - not new technology, but certainly it made the rest of the industry hurry up in designing better input methods.
People are basically self delusional.
The leading edge of technology doesn't stand still for long - every few months something new and more shiny comes along.
I do like the iPhone 4 hardware specs, hopefully Nokia will up the bar a bit with whatever their next iteration happens to be. The N8 is certainly one I wont be buying, symbian is still symbian, even if it's all polished : )

It's funny (or sad) to view this video.
At least if you know who is lying and who not...

“This isn’t the iPhone. I mean, who cares about Nokia?” and “It’s the Nokia N8… you know… it’s the sequel to the N7. It’s not the next iPhone.” and regarding Nokia protecting their intellectual property, "what intellectual property does Nokia have right now that's gonna set the world on fire".
A bit of context: It's an interview with the Russian blogger who wrote the prototype N8 reviews. Softball questions like "why do they think you have the phone" are asked instead of probing ones like "you reviewed the phone, where did you get it and what did you do with it after the review if you don't have it now".
This passes as "Tech Journalism".
