your ability to perform mental gymnastics compartmentalising everything is astounding

Including crashing! Symbiots consider that a feature too.

Hehe exactly, poor shah rukh, guy stopped using his brains loooong ago.

On another note 30K for the Lumia 800 in India is seriously too expensive for its feature set. Considering a Galaxy SII comes cheaper.

Probably 24K would have been the sweet spot. But hey who am i to tell, Nokia knows better

Thank you for your feedback.

1) The caption you see is automatic. I can’t dictate what that will be in the home page because it is a set amount of characters.

2) Knowing everything from title, I think this particular title is already in two parts (the two part which you wanted indicating). a) Quinn, a long term Apple and iPhone fan ditching an iPhone and b) having room for other things beyond iPhones. That’s important for the competition to see that the hold iPhone has is not as permanent as some would have us believe.

“If you as a writer don’t think that the story can be summarized in the title and the caption, you should come up with another title and caption. If you are going to write about a variety of subjects, you should indicate this in these said parts or write two separate stories.”

As mentioned the title and caption does summarise exactly what has happened and what is discussed here. I can accept in other instances I can write better titles to make them clearer. How would you change the title?

As for separating into two articles, well the point was a follow up from the previous post that there is a chance that folks will move away from the iPhone if given a good hardware/software experience. This case, it was with Android (to show that there is movement in many directions and it isn’t just supposedly paid by WP bosses)and an iPhone guy being happy with his Droid experience.

So, basically, you didn’t read the entire article.

I’m the guy in the video, and I didn’t mean to convey that MeeGo sucks. In fact, I really, REALLY like MeeGo; however, it simply lacks the proper development attraction and it isn’t backed by a big enough handset manufacturer to make it competitive with the big three.

And webOS sucks now. It didn’t. I was a proud Pixi Plus owner for quite some time and I loved it—that being said, it was destroyed by HP and is now years behind. Even after open-sourcing it, I doubt it will live more than a few months.

I think they got the price right, a few dollars and he now supports WP, just like in India, where actors twitt that MS WP is the best OS posted from BB phone

This is a ‘ read the whole post before you comment’ blog.

Does the post hate on the iPhone or is it trying to state there are opportunities for Nokia to break the hold of iphone as long as they can make great hardware and software experience, a post of hope for a Nokia fan to show it isn’t just WP and hence just paid by Ballmer, it works for android too.

It was iPhone that broke nokia’s crown so it is iPhone we look now for kinks in armour.

But then if you actually read the post you might know what I was trying to say.

I prefer the N9. Have tried them all and every device has issues at times. MeeGo is just simple to use and quite elegant. I don’t really care for a ecosystem but if I had to choose one it would be Apple. The N9 really draws attention as soon as others see it.
