“Why Nokia Failed – 2,000 man years on UIs that didn’t work”

Advertisements Zane emailed us a very thorough article from The Register which described the necrotic core at Nokia. It reads to me that through mismanagement, failures were leading to a death of Nokia from the inside. This will surely anger Symbian fans. I’m sure what ever Nokia does, media will perceive it as an awful […]

Computers it seems will be taking the work from us. It’ll […]

Microsoft are really pushing Windows Phone’s profile with these adverts. Regardless of what the phone can actually do, or truths behind it, what is most important in the adverts is that it drums down your message to the viewer that your product is something DESIRABLE, something LIKEABLE, something You’d go out and BUY.

Tommi Laukkanen is at it again, this time taking on the Facebook app (which no one else, not even Nokia have done a good job on. It pains me how terribly overlooked the Facebook app has been on Nokias. You would think it was some hobo social network with 5 people on it the way […]

This post became longer than expected: During the “evening with Nokia” Stephen Elop and Jo Harlow were very coy with the topic of release dates for Nokia’s first Windows Phone handset. They did try to make clear that MS and Nokia folk are working together to solidify the timing of the first Nokia WP device […]
