  1. Nokia fan who doesn't have a Nokia around again? by Ilgaz · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    There is some Nokia fan mod lately on slashdot who keeps getting mod points until someone finally meta-moderate his mod abuse. Unfortunately, it seems he/she has never, ever used Nokia devices, especially smart phones with Windows.

    Nokia PC Suite for Windows weights 450MB after install unless one wasn't lucky(!) enough to install their .NET only apps like Map Loader which itself is 20 MB but needs 2 GB .NET to run.

    I didn't say a word about the bulk of stuff added to startup which may result in 2-3 minute boots if the machine&hd is slow and fragmented.

    Dear Moderator, stay away from Nokia stories on Slashdot or at least install Nokia PC Suite&others before you moderate. Now flamebait me too.
