Nokia brand is still very highly regarded, just recently had a conversation with a work colleague about his gf's frustration with android makers and that she would buy a nokia in an instant (she had nokias all the way through), pretty sure there are more ppl like her (probably less in states, but in europe that is really quite a number, of course just anecdotal evidence, but yeah, take with a grain or bag of salt as you wish)

I don't doubt you, szopin. I just hope a relaunch would be handled with grace and good intent as opposed to just trying to make a quick buck and pull people in based merely on nostalgia.
I can't really think of any brand being relaunched that's done that in the last 20 years that was done well. Not saying it can't be done; I'm saying that's how it should be done.
Nokia is still held in high regard in the states. Done well, they could become a top brand again. I just probably have a tad bit too much skepticism and doubt that it will be done right. Greed being the main reason. Capital to do things right being the other reason.

Completely agree with you on Nokia's brand being met with a negative response these days, gerbick, but particularly in The States rather than the other way around. To be more fair, it's very mixed, and I think it comes from the association with Windows. Windows Phone has been a complete flop in the US with no signs of a turnaround. I work for AT&T and people don't want Windows Phones. They want Samsung and Apple. A very small handful of them had Windows Phones and 90% hated them. The rest know someone who had one and hated it, so they avoid it. There's a ton of consumers who don't know Nokia even made smartphones. Those are the people who still hold the brand in high regard, with respect for their durability and build quality. The people who are aware that Nokia made Windows Phones dislike the brand by association. Nokia = Windows Phone = crap.

He's just copy and paste the comment from the link of his post #6. A comment from "Nokia Rox"
Basically he turns TMO into another collection of fan-hypering, and junk anticipating artical site.

X7 - make the screen bigger but still keep the crappy nHD resolution. Cut the corners off so it looked like something out of abad BBC SciFi series.
N900 - spongy screen, tiny battery, keyboard you can't type on, a pointy stick, lens protector which scratches the lens, badly attached USB port and make it about an inch thick.
IMHO you listed some of the worst Nokia designs.
I meant to quote that guy!
ps: I was gone for a while.
My first post after that long was a complete quote-disaster
it's all greek to me

The announcement has no sign to be camera linked.
And for your comment: Even if Nokia has the camera patent, their engineers are gone with MS. There is always difficulties commercialising a good technology, and these experts are in MS now. Furthermore I don't see Foxconn has the ability do to the "superview" as you dreamed.

Let's see if/how it responds to this post. If it can't come up with a human-like response then I propose we ban it.
