Well, not exactly the same, but I am quite disappointed with Nokia about some of the deals they have done with the pre-install 3rd Party developers to restrict the way that I want to use my N97.
Hardwiring applications such as Quickoffice and Boingo as the default application for certain OS type functions, which then require an additional purchase is just not acceptable.
This is especially true when you consider that there is not a version of Quickoffice for the N97 that supports Office 2007. Office Suite does, but the S60 OS is hardwired to use Quickoffice as the default application for Office documents. Yes I can use the built in file manager from Office Suite to navigate to the file I want to open, but this is not the same.
The way I see it, andything hardwired in the OS should be provided as PART of the OS, not as a buy later trial which if I choose to buy an alternative product will not allow me to set the default.
Very much reminds me of the trouble Microsoft got in with virtually every government over their anti-competitve behaviour relating to Internet Explorer.
MS have a long history of using their dominent position to push certain products over others from competitors, and it is worrying that in recent times Nokia have started to do the same with their preferred 3rd Party partners.
Simple question to find out if Nokia has done a deal to unfairly push Quickoffice. Can I totally uninstall Quickoffice and use Office Suite as my default Office application on the N97?
If the answer is no, because the N97 has been hardwired as the default Office application and I can not change this then that stiffles competition.
