    LOL

    Nokia have a drop test and they had already developed the smartphone before apple, one of the reason given for not marketing it was it would fail the drop test.

    The twats, in the future people may study the case of nokia a company which managed. going from an 80% market share to bust in the space of 10 years.

    I dropped my galaxy s2 and the screen is cracked, not to bad YET, but it is a whopping 180 to get it fixed, so it better stay that way.

    It's about the only good use you can get out of Nokias these days.

    Just a question, I remember when everyone had a Nokia.

    Does anyone know anyone with a new Nokia now.

    my friends all still have nokia bricks. Friend boiled his 2 weeks ago and it worked fine until he had to recharge it and it just gave up. Rip.

    This is just another example of the desperate attempts that off-the-beaten-track places in Finland make to find some kind of annual event that might attract publicity and visitors.:)

    Another example is the World akankanto (literally "carrying the aul wan") Championship in a place called Sonkajärvi, which would make Daingean, Co. Offaly look like a major metropolis::)

    Note the Irish flag!;)

    I always thought they were very bulky looking and considering iOS and android has more software and support, a waste of time.

    I'd sooner go for the GS3 or the new iPhone tbh

    I reckon they'll say the same about Apple in a few years

    Not all bricks, I used to have a lovely little 8210 - much smaller & lighter than most of the smartphone monstrosities out today

    I have the S2 and the S3 does look slick, I can't imagine changing to phone, model everything about the S2/3 is perfect.

    Its a very good phone.

    I think Nokia is fukced.

    Apple still have a broad range of goods. But they are only as good as their last product. I wont get an Iphone or Ipad because of piracy issues. I know others feel the same way.

    The missus got one of those, and sometimes the battery doesn't run out in the middle of a call.

    I'm not a fan of the iPhone, but I do like Android, and have been using them since 1.6 , no, the phone is no Galaxy S3, but a nice phone for half the price...

    And if that's Nokia's first proper smartphone, its a great start....

    I'm even considering one myself, as I'm not big on apps and the like....
