in addition engadgets common level of reportage is outrageous. photo reports, aka "battles" that has something photographed from 3 directions, but still there are 20 pictures available....

e: omg I just found out that my two pens battle!!!!

@millhouse
*facepalm* Yes I know that. And it´s pretty common "Geek" conversation or let´s say pissing contest. But you missed my point. So try again. I would recommend on doing at least google search on Scandinavian design. Oh dear fck why I´m even using my time on writing this?

Apart from being Head of Design... yep, no title at all!

Ahtisaari comes in for particularly damning criticism from Juhani Risku - "Ahtisaari has destroyed Nokia design – it’s a real disaster. If you put Mr Beckham or Prince Charles into BP, nobody would understand why you'd done that. Ahtisaari is a name.” and accuses him of having no "design education, competence or experience"

I fondly remember my Nokia 8800 designed by Nuovo - he was to Nokia what Ive is to Apple.

Saying that CEO sholuld be finnish is dumb. Saying that non -finn is almost automaticly better is at least equally dumb. As is blaming Nokia situation for it's finnishness.

That's just Riisku's wierd batshit. Ahtisaari hasn't even been there long enough for his work to show in any products.

By the way it's utterly strange for you to now pull up Riisku, since he's medieval left over, who actually thinks that Nokia shold be run by finns.

Okey. This conversation had ended on my side. Have fun! I will not post any lists or history about Finnish design. I just say that if you have any architect friends just please have some conversation with them and ask about Finnish design :| And that World design capital nomination is not something that goes easily to just someone.
