Is this going off point? I mean Reda points out who he works for and could have stated, as other posters have, that his views are his own etc.

Anyway, the point for me is that while Nokia is trying to be all things to all people (and there's no harm in that), it really needs to make its facilities to deploy software as good as apples. Do that and I'm happy.

Apple seems to one thing at a time correctly while Nokia goes off in a lot of different tangents and it doesn't seem to gel as well as it could.

In my opinion the first thing I would do is make the Ovi store work as well as iPhone app store. I would make it my top priority and instantly I add a huge revenue stream, more customers, more developers and everyones a winner.

I wonder how big the development team is on this is?

Thanks for making that clear, Reda

I'm clear now that Reda's not necessarily speaking on behalf of his employer!

I really don't want to be the guy who says *adopts adenoidal voice* "when oh when will companies learn to handle social media more intelligently" because that guy always gets beat up behind the bike sheds (and rightly so), but what I will say is that it's a particular shame in this case, as Nokia are generally doing their own outreach stuff so well. You and I both know how integrated Nokia's Social Media team are now, gaining bloggers and our dastardly sort far better access to Nokia execs and the company's internal mechanisms than it seems many analysts and "mainstream" press have. Then someone comes along, takes offence, and while Reda does point out (after the initial post, admittedly) that he's not talking as a Nokia Siemens Networks employee, the fact he links to his blog (and, thus, his resume) does make you draw the connection in your own mind.

Now, I think you also deserve a little bit of a spanking too Ewan, as while Reda could have made things clear in his first comment just who his employer is - just as he does in the sidebar on his site - your "I'm always delighted to hear from Nokia Siemens Networks" reply does come across as somewhat snide. I'm guessing you wanted to make it clear to people who might read Reda's comment but not click through to his blog exactly what his background is, but maybe I might've done it a slightly different way :)

You must be really desperate and losing a lot of readers if you take the extreme measure of looking up when I'm working and insinuating that I was speaking on behalf of my company.
Ok, let me explain something very clear (hopefully this is my last comment before I say goodbye for good at this website), my previous response was signed as "Reda" not Nokia Siemens Network nor did I say that I spoke on their behalf.
Again, without sounding patronising, i would suggest to read this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... and just to avoid any misunderstanding I'm again NOT speaking on behalf of NSN.

Woops Dan you're absolutely right -- I was trying to keep the headline as short as possible. I'll make the changes.

Bit confused here - you say you've been accused of bias *toward* Nokia, but it sounds from the article as though you've actually been accused of bias *against* Nokia.

Do you think that S60 has got so crap because all their good / ambitious engineers were brought over to the Mameo project?

It's winter now in Finland... that means they spend a lot of time indoors coding. Let's hope that something truly spectacular emerges by next summer.
