Nokia's iPhone, No Seriously

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the phone-in-cheek dept.

Several readers have written to tell us that Engadget has a look at Nokia's visions for the future. "It was presented during Nokia's GoPlay event this morning as a glimpse into the future of Nokia interface design. Oh, and it's due out next year. When pressed during the Q&A about the striking similarity to the little Cupertino device, Anssi Vanjoki — Nokia's Executive VP & General Manager of Multimedia — said, 'If there is something good in the world then we copy with pride.' Well, ok then."

    The Symbians. I think they were defeated by the Klingons, and their superior Photoshop skilz.

    The HTC Touch - nice interface, small form factor. Okay, so it's not made by Mr Jobs and Co, but it's a damn nice piece of kit. Works with corporate email (read Exchange), has a decent camera, no network lock-in, and it's cheaper.

    Yes, the Apple fanboys will say it's Microsoft-based, but the fact is; it's a damn fine piece of kit - oh yeah, and you can write proper software apps for it using .NET, not some poxy Javascript web-based thing...

    By analogy: When I was shopping for a car recently I looked at cool 50K sports car that only seats 2. Well, I drive around with friends a lot and a 4 seater is much more my speed, and I got one with lots of power for about $30K. I could say, as some do with the iPhone, "It only seats two and costs $50K! I can get a 4 seater for half that." So get the freakin' 4 seater.

    DING DING DING DING DING! Bad car analogy alert!

    It's all marketing! It's more like a hay truck with an oil leak - sometimes a hassle but often worth it because you can earn money with it. Except on Wednesdays, because the hay wholesaler is closed, but the owner has a real cute daughter with red hair who likes to dress up in pink and listen to Def Tones. But that's different than the pink Cadillac SUV driven by a 30-something Mom who wears star-shaped sunglasses with glitter.

    Uh, wait... What was the point again?
