AnonD-59657, 12 Mar 2013Only Android OS can save Nokia. It does not matter if Nokia... moreat first I was wondering why nokia didn't go android, I thought windows 8 would be a total fail. but it is doing so well,
but know I understand now because android isn't as fluent as android and as smooth and fast, so android wouldn't have saved them!!!!
and besides windows 8 is a new fresh os that will only get better with every upgrade..

      Only Android OS can save Nokia. It does not matter if Nokia is made of plastic or aluminum. Nokia, please wake up now. You have been sleeping for too long.

        I agree, if Nokia only would swallow its pride and started rolling out Android for part of its phones. It so would happen that it wouldn't be the only company producing phones using more than one OS. If Nokia did so,then it will regain its top position in no time at all. Nokia being the maker of quality hardware, good designs and combined with Android? I'll move back to the fold, and I'm sure many feel the same.

            well i agree with u nokia should be making android. but i dont think windows is hopeless ,it needs a hole leap of work and and i dont c them backing out the phone game no matter the loss, me i use things before i judge windows phone has a very fast browser and is smoother than android with less specs allowing them to focus on other areas which it needs to custimization (tiles should be a theme amoung many real wallpapers) apps notifacation center then ill turn in my android

                  Mus, 12 Mar 2013apparently, u don't keep up with the news ,the here maps (i... moreActually, I do keep up with the news. You're the one that's misinformed about HERE Drive. I'm a nice guy so I'll clarify for you. Full navigation is NOT by continent as you claim. It is by country or region. For instance, if you activate HERE maps on your brand new 720 in the United States and drive into Canada, you will not have turn by turn navigation in Canada.

                  To make it more confusing, certain countries are globbed together. For instance, the UK and Ireland are treated as one region and navigation will work in both countries. Drive from there into other countries and you're out of luck.

                  Whether or not HERE+ will be a free upgrade (as you assume) to the 720 and 520 remains to be seen. I hope for Nokia's sake it is. I don't want to see them sail into oblivion any more than you do. But when you plot dumb courses thats what happens. Maybe they were using HERE to guide their ship instead of HERE+ :)

                          it seems nokia ship is heading to the right direction and oblivion is on the other direction

                            Guess, 12 Mar 2013Poor nokia... Adapt Android or kiss the industry goodbye... I was hoping Windows Phone would come around but the adoption rate just doesn't seem to increase no matter what. And until that happens the lack of apps is always going to be an issue. Now you add to that the fact that Nokia is no longer offering global navigation to all of its phones (the Lumia 720 and 520 will not have it) and you have a perfect storm of crap.

                            So I agree with you, until they go with Android they'll be slowly sailing towards oblivion. Too bad.

They've used virtually all types of materials on their phones from stainless steel on the N91, plastic on most of their phones, to anodized aluminium on the N8 and E7, to polycarbonate on Lumia, and now they're back to aluminium again.

                                        and no nokia fan said aluminum is a crap material. Thats part of the reason why the nokia n8 got so much fame.. the aluminum body brings a great look and feel to the phone. both polycarbonate and aluminum have thier own advantages and disadvantages.. aluminum is lighter and thinner as well, but it dents and scratches if its dropped.

                                        maybe you and whatever fanboy-ism you're apart of, should do some research to find out WHY the nokia fans are so excited rather than hating on them???
