[...] Kalau kamu berkomentar, “ah, itu sih di luar negeri, nggak bisa disamain dengan yang di Indonesia!” ….alasan kamu tidak valid. Di Indonesia juga terdapat seorang developer aplikasi mobile phone berusia 12 tahun, namanya adalah Fahma Waluya Romansyah. [...]

at least I know that Nokia is making the greenest phone. So now who is owning a garbage (literally) and polluting the the world?

“Nokia makes 26 of the top 30 models, each scoring 7.7 or 7.6 out of a possible 10 points. Its C6 cellphone earned top honors overall. Samsung’s Blue Earth phone came in 27th, followed by Motorola’s Citrus and Ecomoto phones and by Palm’s Pixi Smartphone.”

If Nokia wants to do “good” they should stop releasing billions of version of the same old garbage and stop polluting the world with it.

I love how people have this “Innocent, kind, do no bad” perception of Nokia, ask N97 owners how do they feel about being lied to.

“If people are as “poor” as you say they are, they’ll go straight for those cheap knock-off phones that come from Thailand or China, some that even rip off Nokia’s so-called “cheap designs”.”

Lots of people are, Nokia having huge problems with Chinese phones.

They are getting rimmed both from the top and from the bottom.

Wow!!!! I am glad to see him and his siter get recognition!!! I downloaded Enrich last year for my N8 and love it. As an Elementary school teacher, I see the value in Enrich and I also appreciate Fahma’s talent and dedication. It is also great to hear of the strong family support system. I am VERY proud of him and the positive things he and his sister (she is the indonesian voiceover in Enrich)have done.

Great work all around!

PS I would love to have a the same app in a Spanish translation so I could help students in my area.

“No other choice but to buy a Nokia”? Wow, that’s the stupidest statement I’ve read all day. Hate to burst your bubble, but Nokia phones aren’t as cheap as you think they are. If people are as “poor” as you say they are, they’ll go straight for those cheap knock-off phones that come from Thailand or China, some that even rip off Nokia’s so-called “cheap designs”.

Regardless of all the bullshit and bureaucracy and questionable business practices going on inside Nokia, there’s something positive to be said here about a huge multinational phone manufacturer writing SDKs that is so solidly documented, a 12-year-old kid can write an educational app that can be used by millions of smartphone users in the Asia Pacific region.
