Eldar's Review of N8 = Disappointment

Hi all,

I’m sure you have all heard of Eldar from Mobile-Review.com, well he’s got his hands on a pre-production version of the Nokia N8 which we were expecting and have seem glimpses of but unfortunately it looks like he is not very impressed with the device. He even thinks someone Nokia have hired is sabotaging the products:

In the aspect of the interface can only say one thing. All changes Symbian ^ 3 describes jackstraws earlier. I can only express my thoughts. In short – do not like. No development that we see in Android, iPhone OS, other systems, the same Bada from Samsung. Exactly the same as it was before with the same sauce, but with little change in functionality. Brushed, washed, but not polished. They made cosmetic customization, which should appeal to users. And she does not like. The feeling is that Nokia had settled in fairyland, in which users buy products company tons. However, it is not. And Nokia N8 as the flagship looks not just pale, it is something vague. Advertising to attract attention, will sell and sell. To scare Nokia brand even more people. The sense that the ranks of Nokia scouts ran into another vendor who conduct sabotage. Purposefully destroying the brand Nokia.  Step by step. Otherwise it is impossible to explain what is happening.

I completely agree with Eldar, if someone is not in Nokia sabotaging things from the inside, what are they playing at, they have already pushed back the launch of the Symbian^3 OS which they told everyone was coming early. If they are unable to keep to the deadlines they make themselves, why promise them in the first place! At this rate Nokia will loose even more customers then ever before, with the approaching iPhone launch, the great device form HTC like the Desire and even the HD2, Nokia will not be able to survive.
