Nokia Booklet 3G joins laptop party

Joel Cheney24 August 2009

I think Nokia should concentrate on beating the pants off other phones before it starts out on this road. I wanted very badly to purchase a Nokia N 97 after using the N 95 8GB for almost two years. The thing that changed my mind was the Ovi Store, which sucks, and some bad reviews compared to the iPhone. Needless to say, I went with the iPhone and have never looked back. It is sad though. I know Nokia could crush all the competition but someone is preventing it. Maybe they need to change management and free the creative force of the people that design and build the phones. I hope they can pull it together because before the iPhone, the N95 8GB was the most advanced and flawless phones I have ever used. Good Luck Nokia

Could be worse Joel, I have an N96! Absolutely appalling; I have had a few Nokia phones in recent years because on paper the features always seem fantastic, unfortunately they often work as if no product testing had been done. This netbook sounds like it has everything you could need; will it actually work when you get it? I doubt it. That is what is holding back Nokia, they release some fantastic devices but it seems marketing tell the engineers when a handset is going to come out and it does whether it is ready or not. From my limited experience an iphone I played with worked brilliant straight out of the box, and it didn't need a load of firmware fixes to run; that's what people want and why apple are doing so well at the moment.

I agree with the last comments. I think that nokia should sort out there problems with the belegered N series which is cracking at the seems. I have had nokias for years and have had the N95, N95 8gb and the crap N96 which was a poor phone too many for me. I will be going onto the Iphone once i get to the end of my current contract as I swore that I would never buy another nokia N series again. They rush out there phones with little or no testing in the real world and within 1 week of release they need to get a software update out to fix them. Problem is that it takes about 3 months for the networks to look at the updates and ok them for use by the end user. Only way round this is to debrand handset. I heard similar story's about the N97 aswell. If that is anything to go by then god help anybody who buys the Booklet 3G. Bring on the end of my contract and the Iphone!!!
