I don't think MeeGo offers any threat to the iPhone, that's just ridiculous. Not from what I've seen of it anyway, imo it's much more in competition to the iPad and tablet Android/Chrome.

New iPhone looks great, addition of a gyroscope is fanatastic It's great to see Apple pushing their technical advancements as that in turn will push Android harder, help create and develop new mobile services, and in the end we'll all win

I don't know but I suddenly have this urge not to multitask. I mean, where am I rushing to anyway. Life is short, I should take it easy.

Jokes aside, the new iPhone looks pretty good or maybe it's the Steve Jobs is talking about it.

Yeah, the 960x480 screen and 7hrs 3G talk time won me over.
Another round of iPhone for me...

Dead, huh? The silence from Nokia should have been avoided and used a moment like this to at least say "We have something that's just as good, if not better..." and have had something to show.

Pre-orders for the iPhone 4 will be through the roof meanwhile Nokia is not answering or showing a thing. Who does the marketing - online and ad/print - for Nokia? They're asleep at the wheel.

The screen, forward facing camera, Fring is on the way like... tomorrow. And Facetime... comes with.

Yep. I'm honestly impressed. Hope Nokia can top it.

I don't think it's Nokia here. The Apple machine is unparalleled. Nokia is too "old school" to compete with the Apple when it comes to PR things like this.

Crappiest decisions from Nokia would be just that. Either start talking about device that's not yet announced or released or announcing MeeGo device now that will be released in q4(late q4 probally).

pre orders from June 15th

Unfortunately... it takes advertisements to get out there. Or else you'll be talking about hundreds of thousands of sales versus millions.

Case in point, N900. Awesome machine, not ready for primetime, Nokia wisely didn't mass market it, but at a moment when they actually have something upcoming... silence.

Advertisements and/or PR allows you to be a future option in the face of competition. All they need to do is make the unknowing masses know about their MeeGo offering(s) and the iPhone iOS 4 offerings might be a second choice.

Only if they chose to talk. And they don't. Once again, I'll have an iPhone (via the company perhaps) before I have a MeeGo machine in the US that'll be offered on the 4th largest, not the first two carriers (more than likely) and those that want openness and choice will be relegated to a second-rate network in all but major cities and left behind in terms of screen resolution, app offerings and (now) support (USB port problems anybody?).

Nokia needs to get their head out of the sand and start communicating - and I don't mean pulling an Apple conference, but less PowerPoint slideshows, they're boring - and get out there.

Hire a street team that can actually answer questions. Get the new OS out there to more than just the tens of thousands that have seen MeeGo on YouTube... a site that gets 2 billion hits per day. People don't know enough about MeeGo for it to be an option.

And not talking about it... the world will pass them by.

And before you think otherwise, I want choice, I want openness, I want Nokia to do well. Silence is bad now.

How is it crappy to build some brand awareness now? That's confusing to me.

960x480 resolution? Htc desire is 480x800 AND 3,7 inch. Is there a "magical" difference in ips vs oled? I bet first MeeGo device will make that screen look dull
