Even so, is this really the best we can come up with for an OFFICIAL Nokia twitter/facebook client? Look who’s also featured in the app, […]

Before I begin my coursework I’ll let off some steam and rant about the social app. The Nokia Social App It really feels like a half baked offering when compared to something like gravity: Scrolling – why the hell is it so crap?
