“Sell your soul to the devil”
That was my initial thought about Nokia going in bed with Microsoft and having the Nokia/WP7 device, but I’ve calmed down for a week or so and what do I think now?
Well my opinion hasn’t change, to be honest I’m not a great Microsoft fan to start with, Ubuntu and Linux all the way for this bhoy! So my initial reaction was screw you NOKIA and selling souls and all that, but I’ve had time to read over everyone’s thought’s and read all the tweets, emails, messages, etc… from all the Nokia employee’s I know and fan’s I know AND know what??????
I’m sorry NOKIA but you’ve SCREWED up!
You’ve messed about with probably the best mobile brand for the last 2 years FANNYing about about what bloody OS is the best that you’ve thrown what great product you had in Symbian in the bin to go with friggin Microsoft and Mobile Windows. Seriously are you saying to me WM is better than Symbian? I think management at Nokia has totally screwed with the BEST mobile phone manufacturer and developer, maybe Nokia has become to big for itself, but do you really think Microsoft is the better option?
I despair at the thought of waiting AGAIN for a smooth operating system from Nokia, what was really wrong with Symbian? I don’t think anything! I just think Google played a really good card in letting the community go riot with the OS and create their own variants of the Google FW. Why struggle with a group of PAID employees to sort your problems when you can open it up for anyone and everyone to help refine and develop for you for free? Listen give it a year and Google OS will be in lock down!!!!!!
So where did Nokia go wrong then? I think they didn’t act quick enough and tart up the UI for Symbian, but wait, they had loads of time and they had enough people moaning about it, so what’s happened? Did Nokia become so big and so divisionalized that they could not react to change as quickly as what was expected, did the opposition play a full house and play the game better than Nokia. Well YES YES YES
Why is Nokia in the state its in? They thought no one could beat them! Oh and they didn’t react quick enough to stop it happening and to improve the product they had!
Can Nokia with the BEST hardware on the market win back everyone with the best OS on the market? Eh NO, cos Windows Mobile is just, well, does anyone have a Windows Mobile phone to tell me what the OS is like? Eh NOOOOOOOO, cos no one’s bought a friggin WM phone! If Nokia had thrown Google Android onto their phones we would be sitting here now saying what a move by Nokia, the best hardware with the smoothest operating system, this is the FUTURE! But wait they didn’t go down that route, they sold the Nokia hardware to Microsoft for a price and are now waiting to see if Windows Mobile can compete with Android.
#FAIL #FAIL #FAIL
I joked at Christmas time when the rumours of a Nokia/WM device surfaced that I’d close nokiAAddict down if Nokia went with Microsoft, well its happened and I’ll retract on what I said and not close the website down, but I’ll not be posting again and leave the site the way it is till NOKIA wake up and realise they should have bet on Black OR Red rather than Double Zero?
To all my Nokia/OVI friends in Finland, I love you all and see you on the other side 
THE END
).
So I’ll let you know what my non-techie Wife thinks of the new NOKIA device and new Symbian ^3.
