Too Ugly. Too Feminine. Too Nokia.
it's not Nokia's fault that only Eurotrash buys these phones. I mean 1/2 their population is so gender confused I'm surprised they can still make a rational decision.
Fuck you.
@ matt
I will NOT allow that kind of language in my reply-chain. And yes, I agree. Nokia is Eurotrash. It's not like I used to have a Nokia candy-bar phone from 2002 that reset itself whenever I pressed the '1' key and broke within 3 months of purchase with no hope of a refund. I mean, that would skew someones opinion.
Fortunately, I'm above that.
Everyone loves to point to out that Nokia sells the most phones.... maybe its because every phone company in the world gives away the small Nokia piece of crap candy bar or flip phones...who is actually buying this junk besides the gender bending Euro population?
Look, just because we look down our noses at you bloody colonials and your quaint ways and just because your entire genetic make up is made up of our cast offs doesn't make you bad people.
It's being a bunch of douchebags that makes you bad people.
Joking aside, it looks pretty nice but, alas, the lack of carrier support in the US will make it of little interest to anyone over there.

I think Michelle Obama touched your Queen again. OMGZ!

*Sips tea*
Matt, I totally agree with you and you FU was perfect and very accurate response.
@ Mark Anderson
Listen here you crooked tooth crony, we saved your butts in 2 world wars. If it weren't for us "colonials" you would have been bombed back to the stone-age from Hitler. There is a reason why the USA is the last world power and that's because we common sense.
When was the last time your crackpot medical system has solved a desease? Here in the USA we have a cure for AIDS (although expensive), we have just released information showing that we have also found a cure for Alzheimer's desease and countless others while you crooked tooth phony's still don't know what gum desease is.
At least we get the good phones first.
Here in the UK we can spell.
not really sure what to make of murmermer's comment
Yeah. Well, here, in America, we create Engadget.
@murmermer
STFU. I'm American but you're just making us look dumber. Desease? Phony's? Cure for AIDS and Alzheimer's (haven't heard those...I could be wrong but I'm not finding anything...)? Notice he said "joking aside."
its so funny when UK and USA go at each other necks I'm from the states, a female i know is from London, and swear UK is ten times better than america...
@dsteve303: It's not really about the touching, it was the fact that it is tradition for a lady to have her arms covered in the presence of the Queen. What we forgot was that it is every americans right to bare arms. No worries, no 'arm done :o)
Just for the record, Yankees, We had beaten off Hitler and his invasion attempts with the Battle of Britain. In fact, I believe a good portion of you people didn't want to get involved, and would have been content to sit in the middle of your ocean-sized buffer zone and eaten hot dogs your slaves brought to you.
I'm so sick of hearing how you "saved our butts" If we hadn't been right next to you on the beaches, you would have probably ended up like all the other wars you have participated/incited ever since.
And don't tell me you kicked us out after your "war of independence" We had a handful soldiers here at the time. I think it was obvious we weren't that interested in keeping you in the fold. Hell, we probably had more interest in Jamaica and their bananas.
Besides, I'm glad we let you go. We couldn't afford to keep you now.
Joking aside, fuck off.
europeans are so awesome, they get the best phone shizzle before all of us
europeans are so balls to da wall, they drink tea moer than ozzy osborne shoots smack
europeans are so swaggnificent, they drive on the RIGHT side of their cars.
sorry, fellow U S of Anians.. but skyblaze would take a trip to europe over vegas any day
hey murmermer, bad enough you talked smack about nokia, but you had to take it up a notch and bash my friend mark (and europeans in general). you crossed the line, tool. go back to preschool. then go back to your moms uterus and get aborted. but before the doc drugs her up make sure you tie her tubes in there so shell never reproduce again.
3rd world war. here it comes.
Woah there people, lets take a step back shall we??
Lets not rise to the bait just because murmermer got out the wrong side of bed this morning... leave the country-bashing to the 4chan threads!
RE: This phone? IMO meh.
RE: N97? Looks great at the moment, compared to a lot of other phones out there, depending on what you're after in a phone.
I quite like the look of the SE Satio as well.
What I REALLY can't wait for are all the Tegra/Snapdragon phones due out at some point... Hurry up!!
@ mark anderson
"your entire genetic make up is made up of our cast offs"
thats just priceless
Uh, skyblaze...your gay is showing.
Is this whole thread a joke that I'm not in on?
First off, I'm American. But, I hope that I am not the arrogant and ignorant type of American that murmermer is such a prime example of. Rather, I try to be informed about history and world events (I'm not great about the later).
Second, I completely agree with Malaycobra that saying we "saved your butts" in WWI and WWII is arrogant beyond belief (particularly with respect to WWII, which as Malaycobra pointed out was as much to do with British (and Canadian and Australian, etc.) soldiers as Americans, and probably more). Yes, it would have been difficult for Britain and the Allies to completely defeat Hitler on the continent without American help, but Britain was not in any real danger of being invaded. And, Germany would have imploded eventually anyway the way Hitler was leading it (his decision to invade Russia and his failure to listen to his generals are prime examples of his inability to effectively lead in the long term).
But, I take issue with a couple things you Brits have said. One, America's "entire genetic make up" (and that should probably be makeup) is not "made up of our cast offs." (as Mark Anderson stated). Rather, the initial settlers in America were people devout and brave enough to defy what they felt was oppression by *your* monarchy. Subsequent arrivals at our shores were other people escaping oppression (except for the unfortunate group that were brought here to be oppressed themselves on Southern plantations... ahem... but thankfully not by any of my ancestors) and many other people brave enough to move halfway around the world for a better life. If anyone is "made up of your castoffs," it is Australia (I love the Australians, but it was started as a penal colony after all). Two, while the British force in America may not have been substantial during our Revolutionary War, as Malaycobra pointed out, it was still a well trained army of regular soldiers. We were much more rag tag and disorganized (with only a few well trained officers to lead them). And, if Britain didn't want us back, why did they have another war with us (the war of 1812). As a friend of mine used to jokingly say, we are 2 and 0 against the UK in wars.
But, I know for the most part all your comments are in jest. I think the UK is a fabulous country (if I could live in London, and afford it, I would do it in a heartbeat), and its people are wonderful as well. Cheers!
@ Mikey. Well said.
What's amusing that I live in Texas. The USA does have some redeeming qualities. I freely partake of your second amendment for example.

"Rather, the initial settlers in America were people devout and brave enough to defy what they felt was oppression by *your* monarchy"
Actually no.. They were the Puritans, who felt that the church wasn't radical enough. The English practically pushed them out of the country(and gave them ships to use to come over). These were the same people, by the way, who carried out the Salem witch trials. They didn't feel any "oppression" although I don't think anyone would deny they were devout.
It's kind of ironic that we have the apple fanboy convention here claiming N86 looks effeminate when apple's product line looks like some offshoot of a company manufacturing toiletries for women.
I mean look at macmini, it looks like a giftcase of soap, bathsalts and face powder. Or Macbook air, it looks like a giant eyeliner case.
@Mikey
Your first clue that I wasn't being entirely serious should have been the word 'joking'
@Mikey
...which you mention in your post.
Aha.
Carry on. Nothing to see here.
You know Mark, it's awfully clear from your posts that you're not an American, maybe it's because your posts are more relevant, more intelligent, I don't know. Anyway glad to see there are still a few guys out there in this world not infected by this Apple/iCrap curse yet! Thank God.
@ Mikey
Although I thank you for acknowledging Canada's role in WWII, it was the Americans who declared war on the English, not the other way around.
please people most Americans are not as stupid and outright rude as murmermer.

Letting the colonials have their own country was probably Britain's greatest failure.
Americans dissing Europeans is like OSX dissing Unix.
I find it funny people making fun of Europe. Guess what, UK people can get the iPhone 3GS for free under contract (and unlocked in some countries), while in the US, we have to pay money (even full-price) for a locked iPhone. Plus AT&T not being able to deliver basic MMS & tethering at launch. Yeah, who's the looser now. Note that I'm in the US, and sick of the backwardness of wireless market here.
In the bar graph displayed on the Moscone Center’s oversize screens, the iPhone’s 50,000 apps towered over the
4,900 Google (GOOG) Android apps,
1,088 Nokia (NOK) Ovi Store apps,
1,030 Research in Motion (RIMM) BlackBerry apps, and
18 apps for “somebody else, I can’t read it … it’s small,” Schiller joked, referring to Palm’s (PALM) App Catalog.
Remember the Alamo. Peace and love to Apple-haters everywhere.
@Murmermer
You know, saying that America has discovered cures for AIDS and Alzeimers disease, but has been holding them back from the rest of the world, kinda cements that whole "America is a country of Assholes" thing.
What a bland looking brick, i spose i can say that about most of Nokias phones...
murmerer, I have no idea what 'desease' is. Is that something you caught from fucking your cousins?
PS If you're gonna use apostrophes, use them correctly
thats cool. but where the hell're our n97s?!?!?!?
In the Garbage where it belongs
murmermer belongs in the garbage, you're a disgrace to our country.
look how S****Y that camera interface looks, jeeeze nokia step it up.
It functions!
That picture isn't the camera interface. It's the gallery interface, looking through pictures that have been taken, and that icon bar retracts off the screen when it's not in use.
Nokia hasn't realized that its not the camera people want its a TOUCH CAPACITIVE screen!
I'm don't mean like the iPhone but I also mean the LG ARENA and the Samsung M8910 Pixon12!
Nokia is lacking in the tech. department and they are bleeding once loyal customers because they aren't even in the competition.
No, I want buttons
Uh, no thank you. I want real buttons too. My experience with an iPhone I won in a raffle has only cemented my belief that I would not have paid for one. My daily phone is a Toshiba (Japan-only model, I plan to upgrade to another Japan model soon).
@ Matt
It has bottons (3 of them)
@ Jamar
I don't talk to terrorists so I wasn't talking to you. (Just don't chop my head off)
