Less than USD500 kah? So murah liao? Yeah, some of the ppl in Maemo forum pissed until they boycott all Lumia series, in protest to the decision not to sell in US & some Europe countries. Nvm, in future management & marketing class, this will be example of 'ways of pissing off customers",
Never I encounter before this type of marketing strategy, people want as many choice as possible for customers, they go limit,hahaha

At least for now until 2016, for whatever reason(I doubt they listen to customer complaints, they in world of their own), they will release the 808 to make us happy,

Yeah I saw them in the shop but not it's not Symbian 3 lah, RAM also less, camera 3.2 MP only. Design ugly. Of course cheaper, less than RM500.
Never mind, Nokia Board of Directors want to follow Microsoft by the nose, remaining users just jump ship when the time comes. Microsoft wouldnt bother much, they still have their profitable software business, Nokia is the one to die

No need explain why 808 run on Symbian, it's camera which can make calls,sms, use internet, good enough liao. Use WP, must pay this royalty & that royalty, endure this & that restriction. The main thing is the camera. If they not convinced, ask them go buy a camera with similar function, then buy a phone that can online, see how much it cost...settle.

Problem is they do test market like dunno what is happening in current market situation. Just simply gasak only. Some more both are big company. No wonder Asian brands are making progress faster

Ya all, the silicone case for Lumia & N9, the holes at the back is different is it? Lumia case cannot use on N9 kan? Got some nice Lumia cases selling online but I vaguely remember the 'holes' for the camera dont fit

Added on March 15, 2012, 5:44 pmIt only lags a bit when it's updating the notifications. More often you set it to every 30 min and have a lot of email addresses, FB, twitter updates. But after updating, back to silky smooth.
I can have sports livescore,FB touch, cute tube playing or video playing and this thread, all on live, no lag, except for that 30 sec or so when update emails

One suggestion is to set the "automatic updates" to less frequent. Settings->Notifications->Feed on home screen->Automatic updates. I set mine to 3 hours, I can check manually if want more frequent. Emails is push notifications, that's enough for me.
You can also set how you want your Facebook Twitter notifications
Also check Feeds->Update Feeds. I set it to manually only, I think yours is Automatically in WLAN, that's why have lag when you use WIFI. More so if yours is "every 10 minutes"

Wait, you seldom use except for the 40 min talk & 30 sms right? Mine only 30% left by 7 pm but websurfing is more, and on 3G

Kenny, that FM Radio app, does it work well? Can get Msia radio stations if use headphones as antenna, same as Nokia Symbian phones?

Because windows phone is supposed to replace Symbian in future. These nokia users who are used to having SD card, usb mass storage, bluetooth. Those who did not jump to iphone, due to the restrictions. Those who will most likely jump to android if Microsoft keeps with tbe restrictions.
That is why we want to highlight to Nokia/Elop, Microsoft. If not, nokia will become MicroNokia and all the remaining loyal users cabut. Iphone users wouldnt care, they just continue using iphone

Because it is similar to saying that the restrictions are acceptable and good and better than open OS. That is the implication. The effect - in future there will be more and more restricted type phones since they think customer no problem with it. That leaves us with less and less choice, if we dont like the restrictions and dont like Android.

I'm just an end user, not IT person, but I do marketing(nothing related to phones or pc or electronics). The result of iphone's marketing can be clearly seen. The trend in which Nokia & Microsoft market the Lumia series shows they did not put themselves in nokia's customers shoes. They just concerned with US market/Western market, want to follow iphone, but....without proper plan, just hit and miss.

Those still remaining with Nokia Symbian are those who still like Symbian and therefore unhappy with WP7. Those who were unhappy with Symbian left long ago, they dont care if Nokia goes with WP7 or to Timbaktu.
The other points already covered in previous pages.

It's called the slant of an article, it can go one side, middle or the other side, can be done subtly. I roughly have idea how to write each different slant(not boasting). After reading it 2 times, I would say it slants towards WP7 side.

Hahaha,you all in the big cities will be surprised of the different usage pattern of the 'masses' in smaller states - based on actual study done.
Q : sir, why you dont use wifi/streamyx at home?
A: The kids whole day look at the computer, dont study, so I cut it off.
Q: so now you use broadband? You know, from maxis, celcom, digi
A : no, no, kids still wouldnt study. Now they want to use internet, go cyber cafe, only allow them 1 day 1 or 2 hours. Use their own allowance, cannot ask extra. At home, must study
Q : sir, how abt prepaid broadband ?
A : got prepaid one? I tot all is bill/ line one. Dunno lah, I not familiar with PC,buy the computer is for the kids to use
Q : i see. Do you use smartphone? Can online,chat,everything.
A : you mean like the apple brand one? I dont hv so expensive one. Mine almost RM1k when i bought(observed as mid range smartphone) I think can online but I use it to make calls, sms,take photo,ask my kids to copy songs.

note : standard middle class families with household income above RM2.5 k(by melaka rate)
if you all go ask general public/masses, will have fun with their cute answers, lol, lol

Yuppies in big cities are also different from smaller towns,assuming same age range.

Nokia & Microsoft's way of handling this WP7 & releasing Lumia series seems to show otherwise, they did not seem to do any proper research. Like I said, gasak only

If not mistaken, last time Iphone also no bluetooth, now they also need have bluetooth. All the 'last time' thingy, yes, few years ago can. That phase is passed, Steve Jobs was smart to capitalize on it. Now the marketing strategy needs to be different.

If you read the cute Q&A i posted yesterday, those are real life examples. Sometimes very lol the answers but good lah, laugther good medicine

The thing is, Nokia can have 2 OS if they want. Then everybody happy,thry can try get back some from western market while maintaining the existing customers.
If look at nokia support discussions, even those from europe, japan complain abt the zune, skydrive and increased data rates. 1st question ppl ask, 'if nokia pay for my monthly data usage than can consider all this skydrive'.
As for iphone, studies have shown iphone users very loyal to iphone. Latest from my nokia blog is iphone users 90% remain with iphone.

Elop when he said Symbian will be discontinued in 2016, is effectively saying dont use symbian. Now nokia usets need to face the question - why u using this dying OS? So uncool to use nokia, then purposely make it more uncool if using nokia symbian. Only thick skin ppl or 'old school' types will buy, like our beloved n9, DOA OS some more, haha

Ya lah, the rumors are saying Elop is trojan horse from Microsoft.

ok, back to n9. Our n9 can attach files to forums or not? Yesterday i try with the advert pic, stock browser & firefox also cannot.
