Once upon a time a company called Nokia use to create the best smartphones that roamed the earth. We all remember the powerful N95 filled with great options and also a great super price. Folks were happy back then, in fact so happy that it all eventually ended with the Nokia N95 8GB(which I still own) a truly amazing smartphone that did it all with class, but soon after and for no apparent reason things started to change for the worst. I mean there were some great devices that just proved to be immensely popular and useful i.e.. Nokia E71 but soon then we saw new iterations of Nokia Nseries that like the N85, what the hell was that about, yeah I did buy it as well, as a Nokia fan should, key word fan. Then we saw the biggest hype in Nokia’s advertising campaign, the one phone to rule them all the Nokia N97. Wow, what a disappointment, screwed up memory problems, folks constantly reformatting the device left and right and all in all a piece of metal that is at best mediocre. Heck, I even interviewed the designer on a podcast across the globe via Skype and I actually bought the rhetoric, I guess I really wanted it to be the device but reality quickly set in.

I’m so sick of fan boys blogging about Nokia’s mobile prowess and check out Ovi Maps this, Point and freaking Share, c’mon Nokia gives us something worthy, have you not notice that all the major Nokia bloggers are tooling with Android and iPhone devices because s60v5 simply is a disgrace as a mobile OS. And then we hear about Symbian 3,4,5,6, whatever the numbers are and its the same monkey dress up and dolled up but wait, Mobile Jorge, what are you saying, the N8 is coming out with 12 mp,” and I say so freaking what. The N86 is more than enough for a mobile photographic enthusiasts, not to mention how “f” up is FP2 on this device, I mean FP1 was cool and very functional, just like what the E71 did for you guys, but nah let’s screw up a good thing give them crappier hardware but we’ll up the megapixels and they’ll be happy as can be here is the new and improved Nokia E Series E72 the ultimate business device, get the hell out here and stop insulting your customer base, who are we kidding here, oh wait I almost forgot this device was suppose to be The Blackberry Killer (lmao). The E72 could have been an amazing follow up to an already legendary device, E71, but nah, some hot shot in management decided to go cheap on the materials and give us this flimsy looking thing. My E71 even survived falling into the toilet for heaven sake and I’m sure my E72 would’ve not suffered the same fate and come out unscathed. Wow, I can go on and on but frankly I don’t care. So Nokia if you’re reading this, stand up run around the block a few times and stop smelling the roses, its time to fight back and bring back the good ole days but again I just don’t see it. Damn it pains me to write this, when I started blogging I thought Nokia was the best and they had things going but frankly I’m disillusioned. Ask a woman what’s the worst thing that can happen in any relationship with a man and they’ll you, losing faith on your man, well in this case I’ve simply lost all my faith and I know they won’t come back, how, really think about it, the iPhone 4 is almost out, yeah the iPhone 4, Nokia’s been just looking at this thing and saying wow, how can we beat that, they can’t its too late, you’ve been asleep far too long and even the giant can’t simply just get up and keep walking, its far to weak and their hibernation from the high end mobile world has finally caught up to them. Do you really think people will go and make lines for the N8 ala iPhone or anything Mac for that matter, I think not.

I mean you guys could have salvaged your reputation, embraced Android, gotten into bed with Google and churn out a freaking amazing device with great software and hardware, but nah we’ll keep our everlasting and reliable Symbian OS till it drowns us and look you at you know, shaking the management, scrambling like a bunch wussies, trying to salvage what’s already unsalvageable, when the hell out are you guys going to wake up, let me answer that, NEVER, are you guys on benzodiazipenes up there, seriously take some red bull, wake up, and start being innovative and not following the fruit or the little green guy.

Ok, how about this, why not come up with an Android device call it a concept experiment and see how it goes, its not like you have not lost millions and millions on the Symbian OS. And then we hear bloggers, raving about how Symbian is the shit and so good, so homey and all this stuff in their opinions, c’mon folks, its a dog, a dog with fleas ala Gordon Gekko( from the movie Wallstreet) and you can not possibly be so blind to the worldwide phenomenon that is Android and the Iphone and yes Blackberry as well, so stop chumping the Berry because its java based and all this other bunch of BS, the Blackberry works like a charm and it simply gets the job done. I mean I don’t see major worldwide publication making apps for Symbian and don’t get me started on Python. So as I said, its a dog with fleas and please just euthanize it already, its legal in Finland to do it to humans so its has to much easier on your soul to do it to a failing operating systems. Relegate it to S40 or make S60 the new S40 and do something new, do an Android device, do some fancy accounting manipulation and you’ll get tax credit for the next 15 years but please don’t make anymore crappy phones, don’t totally kill your aura as the giant, Nokia. You guys are like Coca Cola everybody and their mother recognizes your name but its already happening, soon people will think you guys are still on the rubber business and plus you would not want Knut Fredrik Idestam waking up from his grave and hunting down the entire management and saying, “what have you guys done” lol, ah I’m done.
