So, one week from today, look out for Old School!

Nokia marketing is run by people who took the web 2.0 fluff way too seriously. The amount of mysterious and totally useless web campaigns during last 4 or so years is mind bogling. Add non-fat latte drinking artsy fartsy british creative people+ Flash heavy webpage + Youtube video watched by 200 people, and you get the average Nokia-"leading in marketing 2.0"-campaign. Better yet, let's add Bruce Lee video clips or cyborg penguins in the mix, just in case the mass market might get our message.

I don't think that OPK should be fired because of Nokia's software or OS platform strategy, both of which I happen to like. But he slaughtered Nokia's brilliant traditional marketing and design strategy, which made it global market leader, and gave it to these people. And he paid them ridicilous amounts of money to to pump up tasteless as water industrial designs and utterly useless web-campaigns.

Are those people behind this Idea the good old web site printers or are they the sort of people which gave a hand written email to their secretary to send it "to the internet"?

It's a mother-lovin' comic book?

My god. Does Nokia's marketing department have a clue or are they just throwing darts at random ****?

After a long "fight" they give up and tell us what the deal was about.....

If you saw the blog, almost all the users that replied on the topic was from maemo.org. The OVI Bloggers realized that we really want some ACTION for the N900 too (OVI Store updates?, Firmware upgrades etc...)

Pino Benotti, blogger on OVI, mentioned something in his post:

From the OVI Blog:

Seems to be the (huge) feedback for the N900 will be forwarded to the team....... I hope ........
And then I hope the team will do SOMETHING USEFUL about the feedback.... I hope......
