Nokia N8 Saving Engadget Editor’s WP7-killed microSD Story on Engadget
Yesterday, Andre wrote a post about how a Nokia N8 brought back to life Engadget Editor’s WP7-killed microSD, thanks to Antonio.
Some thought that Engadget wouldn’t dare glorify a Nokia by posting about such a story.
So how does Nokia come into play here? Well, it turns out that Symbian is one of few platforms that is designed to handle a secured SD card properly — and sure enough, we were amazed to discover that we were able to use an N8 to recover our once-dead microSD card when seemingly nothing else would. Yes, the card was erased, but in this case, that’s seriously all we wanted — we just wanted to bring the card back to life. Very strange… and very good to know. Needless to say, be sure to keep a Nokia-equipped friend close by for as long as you own your WP7 gear
Note: Josh tried every device, even a PC but only the N8 could save the day.
Cheers to Yoel Gvirtz, Alan and Ayroth and of course Antonio for the heads up to mynokiablog.com/tips
Say what you like about Symbian but we get things done

This is probably the BEST article about Engadget finally kneel down to Nokia N8.
Engadget does not need to knee down to Nokia N8. No one. They just need to be honest and professional. This time they just did who a profession should do actually.
However this seems not so easy, ie. Giz … crap.
Bad english. My bad flu …

Who says gizmodo is a professional blog?!
wow some professionalism; they must have shed so many tears posting that i bet they’re going to try and drown it out now by posting a plethora of new articles about nothing
what they implied with the article is that nokia is only good for this kinds of occasions.
“keep a nokia on standby”
i would love to write columns bashing engadgets articles.
