Do you have the whole presetation? I was at home but my connection was not good, so I listened to the press release. Could you send the vidoe to my e-mail (albertpassos@yahoo.co.uk) or a link where I can download it?

Thank you in advance,

But, based on the coverage they got in this morning's WSJ, Nokia (and Apple and Google), while lacking many capabilities out of the box, have the single most important ingredient for success that HTC hasn't: BRAND AWARENESS.

Just like the way ahead of its time and long lost Psion range, HTC - at least here in the USA - doesn't register. And this, in a country and world that buys shirts because they have horses embroidered on them...or phones wearing fruit. ]]>Dec 2nd 2008 6:34AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/

More bizarre is that my G1 has really made me lament how slow Windows Mobile is, even on the same chipset. It's a shame, considering the lengths MS is going through to integrate support in its main OS.]]>Dec 2nd 2008 8:55AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/Dec 2nd 2008 10:51AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/
So basically you are saying, out of the five phones you mentioned, the only two OSes that feel "tacked" or locked onto their phones are the only two OSes that actually support multiple phones from multiple carriers and multiple cell phone makers? How does that make any sense at all?

OSX is tied to the iPhone... and always will be.

The Blackberry OS is tied to RIM phones... and always will be.

Symbian is currently tied to Nokia phones... might be released to other manufacturers later.

WinMo is currently on about 20 different phones on every single carrier in the U.S.

Android is currently only available on one phone, but it's design and purpose is to be on every phone and carrier it can attract.

WinMo and Android are both designed to be able to adapt to many different phones and platforms, especially Android which is even designed to work on many "dumb phones". So, if anything, I'd say Symbian, OSX, and Blackberry are all tied way too much to their own hardware, not the other way around.]]>Dec 2nd 2008 11:56AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/Dec 3rd 2008 12:07PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/
and the rest of it, i love, everything the iphone has plus everything that is missing on the iphone.]]>Dec 2nd 2008 7:22AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/
Me? BlackBerry Storm for $49. And it's unlocked GSM to boot (locked CDMA of course).

Many others? iPhone.]]>Dec 2nd 2008 7:39AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/Dec 2nd 2008 8:30AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/Dec 3rd 2008 8:27AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/Dec 2nd 2008 8:06AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/Dec 2nd 2008 8:29AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/

If only we could get decent GSM phones with subsidized carrier prices. But the mass want's cheap phones. SO we get cheap phones.]]>Dec 2nd 2008 11:55AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/
What a load of crap - Symbian OSes run on Samsung and SE phones as well as Nokias - kinda blows a lid on your whole post]]>Dec 2nd 2008 5:49PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nokia-unveils-flagship-n97-phone/

What I guess I am trying to say is that a company which designs both the hardware and the software as in Nokia, RIM and Apple, can tailor both to suit each other perfectly. This theoretically leads to a smoother user experience. In the case of Windows Mobile you do often get what is a powerful OS running on underspecced hardware, which can lead to instability. This sadly, taints not only that device, but all devices running the OS.

I am very tolerant of the vagries of WM and Android, but fear that I am very much in the minority.
