Read more.In an interview, Nokia’s UK and Ireland boss reveals what’s at stake over the next 12 months.
I disagree about the first device. Went into about 5 phone shops today and all of them had 1 or 2 Nokias compared to about 10 Samsungs and 5 or 6 Sony Ericcsons. When I enquired about Nokia, they all said don't touch them with a bargepole....I left it at that. If the 1st device is a dud, Nokia are gone...I mean completely gone!
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
The problem is, they have about 4-6 differen't nokias, all of them costing £5 to £50. Nokia lost the profitable high end.
For some reason WP7 has almost zero presence in the UK shops, MS need to address this if they are to have a hope in hell of selling them. I was at a t-mobile shop not long ago, and all three staff had NEVER used one.... They were taken aback by the slickness and useful features in my Mango dev preview handset, but also duely concerned about the cost of the games, as well as thinking the hardware (Omnia7) looked a bit 'cheap'. My response is hell yes it is, I don't like spending more than £250 on a phone.....
The thing is, it wasn't a negative introduction, they had just never seen it, thou opinion was split on the Metro UI, oddly with the most and least experianced staffers liking it.

that is very true...I guessed the shops I'd seen were used to low end Nokias. Strange, but they were actually pushing SE and Samsung above all else...probably Samsung top dog now?

lol, must try imploring the bounty of the gods more often!
Where is my N9? getting impatient now. Still unavailable in the UK and Ireland. The interview itself seems a bit fluffy, we've recognised the error of our ways and the next device will be a killer, anything of substance there? not really. They changed their distributors, is that because sales have completely tanked by careless / irresponsible / ill timed remarks by the current CEO?
I still do have faith in Nokia the hardware people, their phones work, they can actually make a voice call possible in areas where an iPhone would have long given up and sometimes that is worth more than a 100,000 apps put together.
