I understand what you are saying, but they are milking it before new generation of S60(and maybe with totally different OS...) phones start to run end of this year and these really aren't bad phones at all. I do not like this N81 design thought, give me E66 like metal wrapping and i'm super happy.]]>Aug 25th 2008 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/
They pit numerous product teams against each other using marketing people (track down the video interview that includes the n95 team leader and a marketing person, with bloggers who'd received free phones, what a disgusting anti-consumer love-in).

Nokia takes horrible strategies for the consumer, who are dazed by all the models that are barely different, and even though these are expensive devices, Nokia treats them as disposable since you can't get updates for phones past its arbitrary version (contrast this with the the iPhone, where every device is update-able to the latest version). And cracks are showing, the n95 plastic lens cover (over the glass lens) is subject to scratches even if you protect the phone, not a word from Nokia on fixing this problem, it makes the most important feature on this phone useless. Not to mention the whole n-series is an embarrassing grab bag of interface approaches (today screen, media player, grid view, ngage, all inconsistent approaches to the same problems, it is humiliating comparing this device to the consistency of the iPhone).

huh and where is this company that you are talking who takes care of you and gives a good night kiss before you go to sleep?

Nokia updates it's N and E series phones(no love for those who are living in states side that often thought) N95, N78, N81 and N82 have all gotten updates some have had several. Haven't ever heard of this N95 lens cover problem so no comment for that.
Comparing iphone(can't you people get over it already?) to companies that produce several different devices for different user base is useless. Not to even talk about iphones problems that Apple have like cracking plastic, 3G problems and scratches and they at least don't need to concentrate to any other phone than one. My ipod touch is full of scratches and while it's getting charged it crashes every other time will looking at youtube, but Apple havent come up with new coating for me and gave my money back....buu huu]]>Aug 25th 2008 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/
As for the N95 camera, mine's never scratched despite the fact that my phone lives with my keys and coins. Even if it was scratched, I don't know why you think the camera is the most important feature of the phone. It's a dual slider for a reason you know.

Personally, I don't find the multiple Nokia models confusing (I find Sony versions way to confusing because of the longer codes) although they do seem to be releasing enough N-series models to dilute the brand a bit.]]>Aug 25th 2008 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/

I used to have Sony Ericsson phones constantly, then I realised I was just buying the same phone over and over with very little OS changes and the same slightly tweaked camera.

Wouldn't leave the Nokia brigade now, nothing but quality feature packed phones! Not perfect, but certainly a step above.]]>Aug 26th 2008 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/Aug 25th 2008 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/Aug 25th 2008 7:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/Aug 25th 2008 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/Aug 25th 2008 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/
Your comment is laughable. The N96 JUST launched last week. How could that be laughable? As a matter of fact, I don't even think people who have ordered them, have even received them yet.

So, I ask again. When is the N96 getting released? ]]>Aug 25th 2008 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/Aug 25th 2008 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/Aug 25th 2008 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/So no more VoiP on new Nokia phones ?

If you really want to advertise your iphone i would suggest to discuss like normal over 18 years old and you might actually get some positive answers and not give more proof that most of the iphone owners are brats. Now you just seem like one of the paid iphone lovers that people here have learned to ignore.

To be fair N80 had higher res screen than most of the current top5 phone manufacturers and E90 have 800x352 screen.
I dont see any problems with 2.4 screens having qvga reso and Nokia got some quality screens there with 16 million colours and all that, but when it starts to go to 2.8 then the reso must go up and my next phone must have over qvga resolution too.

Like N80 might have showed, consumers at least in Europe havent been after for the high res phones so Nokia, Samsung and SE havent had need to up those screens.

Technology advances so fast that products are refined and released much more frequently than before, "to keep up with the Jones's", so to speak. It's not like you're being forced to buy it, it's just now you won't have the excuse to moan "oh, why can't xxx company have this new xxx feature on their product?". Just like when people moaned "oh, why can't the iPhone have 3G?". Hence the iPhone 3G. Perhaps it shouldn't have been released, if you had your way of keeping products static.
I've been looking at the N82, the previous generation, and although it's a great all-round phone, it's got a few problems. This generation could solve those problems and be the phone for me, so I'm quite glad that Nokia chose to churn out a new model.]]>Aug 25th 2008 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/http://events.nokia.com/]]>Aug 25th 2008 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/Aug 25th 2008 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/nokia-launches-the-n79-and-n85/
