Looks just like every other smart phone on the market and doesn't seem to bring anything new or innovative. Can't see it succeeding tbh.

does it?!

i throught the mulit tasking was very similar to the n9 and looked very different to anything else currently on the mark. give it a year or so to iron out software issues and i could be tempted

Looks very similar to the HTC 8X, even the menu looks similar. Sounds like its running a version of android too or at least something extremely similar, it's compatible with android apps.

LOL, i love your die hard way.

It will fail, not because its bad but because nobody will support it.

I have to ask this Andy, but do you get some sort of perverse enjoyment out of buying awful mobile phones?!

​There's Die Hard and then there's Andy!

Nokia's biggest problem was with their development teams who (I had the misfortune of having to deal with) seemed to have the arrogance of Apple ("we're right") but without actually being right, at all, ever.

Once they had an idea in their head it was the right way, you could have a thousand other people telling them it was wrong but the response was always "we know better". That worked out well in the end didn't it.
