It's Insight time, covering News, the MOSH ad-sponsored games, Adobe Open Screen Project and we (shock, horror) actually try to answer a user-submitted question, talking about whether Nokia could be more aggressive in the US market. Plus, Rafe reports back from the Nokia Design Studio Day in London. You can listen (and subscribe) to Insight number 23 here.
Read on in the full article.
Had to laugh at the end of this insight when everybody was saying goodbye, Ewan had fallen asleep after another 3 day waffle from Rafe 😊
Hey it was 2 days of waffle tops...
Only joking Rafe, the thing is, everything you said was very interesting, keep it up...
wow you guys had some great insight and i wanna say you nailed every single point. however there is just a blatantly obvious counter to all this, which puts the blame solely on nokia for this mess. n95-3 FIRMWARE!!!!! this phone has been out for 8 months, and has not received a firmware update yet. consider that all the engineers have to do is move a few decimal places over for different region, or RM-xxx number, or wCDMA bands, etc. it cant take more than 10 minutes (i exaggerate, i'm no software guy).
but seriously, blame the carrier, or the US consumer dumbed down mindset, or advertisement-carrier relationship troubles...that is all true. but nokia could update the device for their highest paying unlocked phone buyers. the firmware already exists in 3 other versions of the same phone!! just release it!! as good as nokia can be with certain things, nokia sure does make boneheaded decisions sometimes.
