Good article.
Page 3 gets down to brass tacks:
“There is huge, unmet demand in the world for a phone that does nothing but make calls. Nokia can and should design and build the ultimate minimalist, tiny, super-reliable cell phone that does not connect to the Internet. It should have the best-possible call quality, have the best antenna possible and should measure battery life in days or even weeks. Nobody cares what the OS is.”
Very true That’s the one I would buy. When I want internet (which is not, for example, while I’m sitting in a restaurant enjoying a meal — hint hint iPhone aficionadoes) I prefer to use my laptop.
“Second, Nokia should design and build the ultimate smartphone based on Windows Phone 7. It should provide a much better call quality than the iPhone (not hard to do), have a better camera, better screen, better everything than existing smartphones.”
Also good advice for those who, unlike me, *do* prefer a smartphone.
Over on the OSNews.org (I think that’s the right suffix) website there was a quick article (basically a blog entry) about a Nokia memo that leaked out, the word from the top was, we’re going down in flames. So they eschewed the Android milieu and headed for W7 — but with flexibility other handset makers don’t have. That’s a good hookup for MS also, Nokia’s hardware so they don’t have to try to Zune their way into the market. OTOH, the other makers who use W7 for their mobiles may not like it too well and dump them.
