    Is he trying to channel something? Long lost Nokia spirits perhaps?

    Nice event. Lovely location. Hip.

    But when will Nokia release a phone that my mum can use to *EASILY* see pictures of her grandchildren? <insert any other reasonable use case beyond voice/text here >

    Until then Nokia will be just another vendor in the pissing contest of unused, over-spec'd features. They will continue to loose share to the LG's and Samsungs of the world who can copy, innovate and reproduce much quicker/cheaper.

    I WANT them to succeed. Which is why it's so frustrating watching a firm f%€k it up so badly, because they can't tell the engineers to piss off and put the UI first.

    erm they think the UI is perfect
    well the only thing missing is more whizzy menus that spin and have animated flames. etc.

    Very good point. This is one of the real issues, they seriously do think
    it's perfect!

    I feel strangely compelled to make a telephone contribution to the church of Whatley right now.

    Thanks for all the support and kind words guys.
    The session went really well and I completely over-whelmed by all the positive feedback.

    Full post analysis when I get back from my travels..
