Guys, THIS is why Nokia has such a high marketshare - both in regular phones and smartphones. Nokia has the economies of scale to spin off incredibly powerful phones very cheaply. Two years ago this kind of spec would have set you back 499€.]]>Aug 25th 2009 5:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/
Which is of course why there exists a 3GS in the first place.

But engadget never mentioned in the headline of the 3G anything about lagging, so why only for nokia?


And this nokia isnt even competing with high end devices...

Why the hate engadget?]]>Aug 25th 2009 5:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/Aug 25th 2009 5:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/Aug 25th 2009 5:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/

I really do not need a 8 mega pixel camera nor blazing fast processor just a touch screen PHONE (requires 3G) with a screen reasonable enough to occasionally load a movie onto, and of course Wi-Fi to cut down those mobile internet costs.]]>Aug 26th 2009 3:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/
I considered the nokia 5800 when i was looking for a new phone but what turned me off was the lack of future support and the nasty choice of build materials.

This looks exactly the same except now i can get a cheap and nasty phone trying to imitate an upmarket smartphone in all the colours of the rainbow.

As much as i hate to admit it Samsungs many offerings are more palatable than Nokias.]]>Aug 25th 2009 5:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/Is this the one which Eldar from Mobile Review was telling about?]]>Aug 25th 2009 5:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/Aug 27th 2009 2:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/Aug 25th 2009 9:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/Aug 25th 2009 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/

That price is pretty much unbeatable. And frankly, I don't give a crap if it lags a bit with that kind of value for money.

So happy in fact that I decided to exchange it with the N900 as soon as it comes out and probably , once win7 finally makes it into the new machines, get one of the new Nokia booklets instead of the Samsung N310 with which I planned to substitute my rapidly aging MSI Wind.
It seems to me that Nokia , maybe warned by the sorry fate of Sony Ericcson , mended its ways quite successfully in a remarkable short time.
