It has been awhile since I've seen a phone with that outstanding a general appeal based on hardware aesthetics and running windows phone 7, I don't care if it's one of nokia's low-mid range devices. I have to have one. Your thoughts on this beautiful mesh of hardware and software?

I think it sucks.

 

[z33dev33l]

I think it sucks, and looks like a baby toy.
Nokia is dead, get over it.

perhaps I'll get my one-year old one too then. Honestly though, the "Nokia is dead" comment made me laugh a bit, gg.

It looks pretty cool actually, it reminds me a little of the old ipod nano somehow hehe...the only thing i'm not totally convinced about are those sharp corners, they may feel annoying in the hand.

Oh, you are just a perfect example of fanboyism. You are everywhere with wp7 posts.

Okay, Nokia is not dead, but it would never ever come to my mind to buy a Nokia... its so far behind other brands!

Gusgus, howso?

Tinky1, I love how you all ignore your own fanboyism and call anyone who doesn't like android a fanboy. I offer no brand loyalty, if android offered a better UX or iOS offered a better UI/larger screen I'd jump ship in a second.

Vnvman, I agree, the corners might look unpleasant but that was the last form factor I enjoyed for ipods. I hope it's a nice aluminum or something unibody. Real iPhone quality with better software.

You are the biggest WP7 fanboy on this entire forum. Please...

point proven.

Can't wait although I'm hoping for a 4" to 4.3" screen version. Nokia Ace?

 

[z33dev33l]

They're really pulling some iPhone like secrecy with the ace, the rumor is a 4 inch amoled though.

People keep saying Nokia is dead and all that jazz. Actually that's just stupid. The latest Nokia meego/symbian/whatever phones kinda suck in terms of internals and software, but they bring some decent build quality to the table. Sure Htc and Samsung don't make bad phones (not even considering LG and Motorola here), but they have their flaws: Htc ones tend to use amazing materials but are generally badly assembled (dust under the screen and such), while Samsung ones are put together very well but i'm not a great fan of plastic, no matter how much "high grade" they call it, plastic will always be/feel CHEAP. I really hope that Nokia steps up the competition with the next WP7 phones, possibly also using up to date internals. If they do that and ICS doesn't improve the situation in the right way, then next year i'll be totally sold.

Trust me, while I love Android I don't go shouting all over XDA how good it is. I respect other opinions but hate them being shoved down my throat.
I am not a fanboy of any os whatsoever, Android just suits me most atm, but I have a feeling wp7 will catch up with especially in regards to synching multiple services and devices.

So please, please, stop trying to convince people wp is Da Best and let people decide for themselves.
I'm really sorry for going ot, i'm quite curious regarding how nokia and wp alliance is going to work out myself.

Nokia is a very good and trusted brand. I'd love to see them come back. Problem they face is hw. There is no need for octa core tb ram phone to run wp, and while its a good thing, it's not very good for marketing when you compare components with HTC /samsung?.

The design looks real nice. I especially like the blue version.

Hmmmm...WP7 been tempting me a lot lately. Gonna wait and see how it goes for a while. The OS definitely got a lot of potential i think.

there's no reason for most computers to run octa-core let alone phone, sadly hardware is android's selling point. I think as long as Nokia continues to put out the most aesthetically pleasing phones out there with the best cameras and outstanding battery life they're known for they'll remain relevant and boost wp7 to new heights.

4 inch is perfect! Less than a week to go.

Last decent Nokia I had was a 6310i
Assuming the pics are genuine and not cgi fakes that really is an uninspiring design.
Did Nokia's designers leave a few years ago or what?

I simply post my experiences as any user does. I'm certainly not one to post "wp is da best" there's enough of that in androids favor in every "google vs. ..." thread. My experiences and posts are reasonable and people tend to rage because my opinion does not match theirs. This thread is, however, about the only really aesthetically pleasing device I've seen in some time. The thinness and the shape that does resemble an old iPod nano is a refreshing change from Sammy's plasticky thick toy look and HTC's great parts haphazardly tossed together. I just enjoy the physical aspect, all OS matters aside. Even things like the nexus prime just don't look high quality hardware-wise despite internals.

It has been awhile since I've seen a phone with that outstanding a general appeal based on hardware aesthetics and running windows phone 7, I don't care if it's one of nokia's low-mid range devices. I have to have one. Your thoughts on this beautiful mesh of hardware and software?

windows 7 phones suck donkey balls. seriously. terrible OS, terrible, software, terrible idea to put that garbage on a phone. if windows 7 phones were the last phones on the planet i would revert to writing letters and sending telegrams because they have a more effective end result.
