I jumped the ship years ago and to me Android is not cutting it. Desire HD was buggy as hell because of my Google account(that i have to use). Bug that has been there for 3 years and in google support page there’s 300 pages about this but nothing has been done and battery lasted for 15 hours.
It’s the last OS Nokia should jump in to. It’s already way too over saturated with little to no gains for any new manufacturer.
Make something a bit different.

Now using Pre 2 and iphone 4. Will be getting Samsungs 10.1 from Android side though.

I keep seeing people talk about that but to me it’s just cheapness.
If Nokia can manage to make E7 13.6mm thin from 2 parts and is made 90% of aluminium, Samsung that’s superior currently on HW should be able to do it.

I mean iphone 4 got 2 thick glass pieces on both sides of the phone. Wave, phone that was mid end year ago was made of metal and was still 10.3mm thin.

HTC while ugly and boring phones got the materials on different planet compared to Samsung.

Couple of days ago i tried a HTC Desire HD, the live background was google maps, and the screen scolls laggy, the menu icons lagged when i tried the kinetic scroll. Is this the future? Shiny design, laggy underhood with 1 Ghz? It’s a joke, i dont know why it’s the hype present around the Android.

Or just create another division to launch WinMo7 (or whatever version) phone for US market and if successful, launch at other markets.
Though you are upto the point in whatever you have commented.

agree… But weight gives the handset a premium feel, i don’t hear people complaining that the N8 is too heavy to carry around.

I don’t agree. Android is where all the fun and excitement is now. Even former Nokia Symbian fanboys who jumped ship know that.

Samsung chose plastic materials to keep their devices light and thin.

I agree with you on your every point. They need a properly standarized, confussionless UI – good marketing to show features that belongs to Nokia only. Real life use of some apps and features. And of course better hatdware inside the devices.
