Re: Nokia signs brand and intellectual property licensing agreement with HMD global
 
I didn't quite get the point why so many folks here still getting excited/pissed about what Nokia is doing.

It's been discussed million times and we really don't care what Nokia will release under whatever name. Really don't care. Will you be excited about the release of a random Chinese Android phone? Why the hyper if this phone has a Nokia logo?!

To us Nokia was dead on 2011. End of story.

This "king" has been whored out and depleted. Fit to be buried.

I admire you...really
But if nokia bring back meego/maemo i would like to say 'welcome back the king"
And if another droid comes...it means they're dead, just IMHO
No offense, and have a nice day everybody

Can we add the word "nokiapoweruser" into our spam filter? :)

Even for fanboys they are a little over the top there, aren't they? "HMD global Oy is Nokia’s strategical masterstroke & ensures Nokia quality & feel in future devices"? Wow. Just wow.

Did somebody appoint you spokesperson for the group?

Personally, I've not got a problem with another Android phone, and they're all pretty much of Chinese origin these days.

If it's interesting, like Nokia of old, then it's in with a shout for me when I come to buy my next Android phone. What's wrong with choice?

i don't think they want to/can continue their own flavour. any other "solution" make me more disappointed. Android is a serious lol.

your right.

Realistically what is Nokia to people? Is it everything the N900 embodied? The community, the hackerism it attracted and the fact it was years ahead of its time?

because if so, elop killed that in one swift movement at the release of the n9.

is it the sturdy devices with decent build quality? because theres plenty of those.

what does the Nokia name really mean now?

I'm talking about the majority here, nothing can represent everyone but I'm quite confident for the majority.

What you mentioned has been discussed many many many times in this forum already. Of course you have your freedom to appreciate whatever phone you like, what sickens me/the rest of us is whatever Nokia announce for licencing its brand, there will be SAME discussion again and again.

And we (apart from you maybe) all know this phone will be BORING. Not worth starting over again and again.

To maybe 3 or 4 people on this forum, nostalgia.
To the rest, a synonym of the word failure.
