Got a Nokia 5800 express with music - it was brillant value. :y




cost £0.00  :)

You can't be serious, we've got a couple, they are the most hated on the entire floor. Excellent example of how not to make a 'smart' phone

Nokia mobile handsets - Nokia have lacked direction for years, the last really good phone was the 6310.

At the high end of the market, where the profit is, they have nothing. They have lived on reputation, Sony style, for so long (I mean, only the most loyal Nokia fan would have bought the likes of N95 and N96, and I'm sure chrisgixer will add his 2p on n900), now they are a joke.

Symbian has always suffered from being a kernel, so too expensive for handset developers to develop for (Android needs to take heed of this as well!), thus they all have that same, very basic UI. Symbian, like Google, say the UI is down to handset maker - hopefully Google will take that flawed strategy and change it, crApple needs a serious competitor.

Cheaper Nokias may sell in the millions, but very low margin, so not really a big money spinner.


Nokia's mobile business includes infrastructure products, and Nokia makes good money from this.

Nokia are also quite big in networking. OK, some of their firewalls are pants IMHO, but they shift a fair few, and at 'enterprise' prices ;)



MS are in no position to buy Nokia, nor would it fit their strategy. Shame, as MS needs to lose HTC, who are bloody hopeless, and probably singlehandedly responsible for Win Mobile 6's demise. Poorly designed products, and very bad OS implementation (hence the massive market for (illegal) homebrew cooked roms).  MS would be better to buy HTC than Nokia, or quite simply design/sell their own handset.
My 6150 is now 12 years old, on original battery, in daily use & has frequently fallen out of my pocket & on one occasion took a trip down the escalator at Arlanda airport, which I reckon is a pretty good phone too!
6310 is better though :y

(suffers the same 6110/5110 series problems with batt contacts and the connector at base though)

About 10% of the young population then  ;D

Crime has moved on, its no longer about nicking a CD from HMV (well the dumb-ass chavs do)

95% of people i know torrent their music, films and TV shows. Big Bang Theory for example, I have download episodes and watch it before its even aired on the East cost of the USA  :o  ;D

But on the legal side..

http://www.spotify.com/uk/

Millions of tracks, on demand, for free, nothing, sod all! Just put up with an advert every 5 tracks.

You key in almost any artist, track, album from recent times, its there. Streaming in excellent quality for free.

So again, who pays for music?  ;)
