It used to be that Nokia phones were great, and no other worked as well. So we
used to pay a premium to get them.
But yet when we used featurephones, Nokia's quality got downhill in hardware and
software, and the competitors got slightly better. There was no reason to pay a
premium anymore, but they were still more expensive.
I guess most people buying phones from Nokia do so because they are afraid to
try the competition. I know I was for a time.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Three Sammies in my house, and soon to be a fourth.
I *LOVE* my Note 2. BEST phone I have EVER owned.

Nokia communicators, smartphones long before the term was invented, they were
perfect for my job (sysadmin with many webservers to support) allowing me ssh
access on the move with a real keyboard and 80 character wide display,
fantastic. They lost my trade before the Microsoft nonsense I used to use
Nav4All on my communicators ( I bought at least 6 of the latest for family and
colleagues) but then Nokia bought the company and stopped the service. In return
they promised free Nokia maps but this never made it to the communicator, their
top of the range phone. After about 6 months of repeatedly emailing and finally
receiving confirmation they had no intention of ever honouring their promise I
bought an HTC desire, I thought I'd hate the on screen keyboard but quickly
adjusted and I've never looked back. Now on a Galaxy 3 with a Galaxy Tab 10 for
when I need a bigger screen.
I would never buy another Nokia product they were already a bunch of lying
thieves, and after doing a deal with even nastier people I'd rather chew off my
own feet!

My 2nd cell phone was a Nokia and it worked well. However, these days, I go
with Android phones only. So, if Nokia doesn't have an Android phone, they can
count me out as a customer.
BTW, I tend to get a new phone every 5 years or so. I bought my Google Nexus
One about 3 years ago, so I'll have to see what turns up with Android phones in
2 years time.

I bought my Nokia phone a long-time ago now, well before the Elop / Smart
Phone craze. It is a great and durable phone.
I can't imagine purchasing a
Windows phone. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Coincidentally, I dropped in on my local cell phone
provider to look at the
latest phones. When I learned they
would allow me an early upgrade for only a
small penalty, I
got all excited and complete the decision to get a new
phone.
We looked at the latest Samsung Galaxy, Note II, and
HTC 1, then I spotted a
Nokia Windows phone in the corner
and innocently asked him to tell me about
it.
He said "Oh - we don't sell many of those" and returned
to the
discussion about the others I had been looking at.
That's all he had to say
about it. Then I admitted to him
that I wouldn't be caught dead with a Windows
phone, and had
a little laugh for myself.
Anyhow, I have pretty much
made up my mind to get a Note
II, as the large screen suits my habit of
spending a lot of
time reading the news or Groklaw on a phone in a coffee
shop. Only one thing makes me hesitate. I came across a
website during my
research on that phone that predicts the
Note III will be coming out on May
27th. I am pondering
whether I should wait to see if this speculation comes
true.

Those poor souls who got sucked into being beta testers
for Microsoft when
they bought the Win Phone 7, only to see
Windows Phone 8 upgrade pass them by,
were promised a 7.8
upgrade that still hasn't arrived for the vast
majority.
Got an AT&T Lumia
900? Your Windows Phone 7.8 update should
arrive soon
The story of Windows Phone 7.8 is a long
and slightly sad
one. It’s the update nobody really wanted, as anyone who
owned a Windows Phone 7 device would have preferred a full
Windows Phone 8
update, plus it took so long to arrive, many
thought it had been forgotten
about. Even though Microsoft
confirmed the software was still being worked on
in November
last year, and the first versions didn’t start to appear
until the
end of January, and it seems there are still those
who haven’t had their phones
upgraded.
Nokia Lumia 900 owners contracted to AT&T are among them,
but
some good news came through this week, saying Windows
Phone 7.8 was ready and
waiting for them through the Zune
software.
I'm sure by
now many of those unappreciated beta testers
have already given up on NokiaSoft
and bought themselves a
real phone. Whether it be Android, Apple or even a
BlackBerry, there are endless choices today in comparison to
which their
Windows phone is nothing but a bad joke. I doubt
they will be buying another
Windows phone after having being
treated so shabbily. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Yup, we had multiple Nokia 8260 phones. They were great tiny little bar phones,
on AT&Ts TDMA network, before they went GSM. Of course that was before the
smartphone wars; before the empire.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
