Nokia World 2011

[z33dev33l]

Well, now that it's for the most part over, what were your thoughts on Nokia World.

I for one am not a fan of the Nokia 710 Sabre, the hardware is clearly high quality. However, the overall look and feel of the device looks too... HTC-ish. The 800/Searay on the other hand was simply astounding. I have no problem admitting that I was disappointed in the lack of a FFC, something that is rumored to be heading to the U.S. release but that still halts me from importing one. The rest of the device however, is awesome. The unibody is amazing, there's not a seam on the device. Even the glass seems to meld right in to the unibody. It's almost a work of art.

Another bit I was interested in was

The Nokia Kinetic flex display, bend your device one way to zoom in and the other to zoom out, there are numerous other applications for this but quite frankly, I just can't wait.

So, what do you think of Nokia's new offerings. They also released the Asha series running Series 40 which is an OS between smartphones and dumbphones to aid developing countries in accessing the internet.

Overall, it went well. I expected more things to occur that I didn't know in advance but I'm certainly not disappointed.

A little bit disappointed was hoping to hear about the ace, and no US release date.

The 800 is the one that looks like an ipod touch nano isn't it?

Well, the flexible phone could be excellent for hotheads. Girlfriend pisses them off, they can throw their phone as hard as they want against a wall and it will bounce right back to them.

hmmm. well, nokia is kinda garbage. and in my opinion windows mobile is the worst mobile OS ever conceived. lags, terrible UI. and we all know that nokia uses outdated hardware.

nothing to sing about, but thats just my opinion.

Get with the times. WP7 is better than all of them now. Android can't even compare to how nice WP7 is. Not even iOS, which bests Android for quality and reliability, can't even compare to WP7.

You're missing out on WP7.

So they've basically taken the N9 and bunged WP7 in it.

Woah, it can't handle arabic or chinese? Seriously?

They have a giveaway for Lumia 800 at facebook. Probably not winning, but it's worth a try.

Oh, and the phone does look pretty awesome.

Kept telling myself I wouldn't be ordering one due to the rumor of a FFC on the U.S. Released one but after 3 hours hovering over a submit button it will be here in just a couple weeks. Damn you technology addiction.

I think the Lumia 710 is an attempt at bringing a production version of the highly desired mockups shown a long time ago.

Honestly, I never was fond of those. They looked like the focus to me and though I like the focus, I wanted something new.

that bending screen and phone is a huge step towards new gen phones and wp is a soild OS , just needs time

Screw Nokia. I just found out the N9/800 isn't aluminum like I had believed. That was the only remaining thing in Nokia's favor and now that's gone. I won't even look in Nokia's direction now.

But me saying this should make Nokia more favorable to people who have hated them.
