High End Nokia Phones -- Do they really exist

Hi,
Been observing the latest Nokia handsets released to compete with the iphone and the androids, but with the specs of these so called high end Nokia devices , like N8 and E7, they are nowhere near the competition.

Nokia is still using the outdated Arm11 processors, when the competition has moved on to the dual core Arm A9 architecture.

also there's only 256 MB of RAM on E7, Nokia's latest offering, that pathetic.

If Nokia want to stay relevant in the future smartphone business, they will have to produce better handsets, and ramp up the H/W specs.

Regards,
Ishan

  1. Now when u have already started the topic..let me add some more "praises" of Nokia..

    1. N8 claimed USB on the Go..

    a.Tried to connect our usb stick to the device..
    didnt work..

    b.tried with cable of another device(we hav 3 N8's allocated to our proj)
    didnt work..

    c. tried with other devices..
    didnt work..

    After trying all permutations and combinations of device,cable and usb sticks, we googled for the issue..
    found nearly 50 posts related to same issue.
    someone mentioned

    a. works only with fat format. formatted the pen drive.. didnt work..

    b. works only with 2gb files.tried with a 2gb stick.. didnt work.

    c. need to update firmware..updated firmware..
    didnt work..
    left the thought of using USB on the Go. :P


    2. If u install QT on N8,u cant rollback to prev version.U hav to hard reset the device.
    Hard reseted the device succesfully..
    Problems faced:
    OVI store and OVI maps removed.
    Tried installing ovi store..got error...still that device doesnot have OVI store..ant untill OVI store is not installed..u cant install app from store directly ;)so nt able to install maps too...

    Thats only a part of my frustation ;)

  2. Hi Darshan,
    Nokia has been doing this,
    Selling devices with half cooked softwares and making the fool of the users.

    same was the case with 5800XM, and they recently pulled the plug from maemo support, and deserted meego too.

    lets see how long their marriage of convenience lasts with MS.
