Too bad it's windows though :/ it would've been nice to see a MeeGo device with this body, or a more updated version of symbian, or an android device

Nothing wrong with windows?! What are you smoking dude! UI sucks! Little to no customization offered on a windows phone, and Hahaha a windows device compared to a nokia n9 is like comparing a Ford Fiesta to a Ferrari 458 Italia

I switch from Android to WP8 a month ago. I don't see anything wrong with windows phone. It works as well as my android. Basic stuff are covered. Unless you are talking about advance stuff like flashing zip Mod files in recovery. But as a smartphone, it does its job well. I am liking it actually. Yes, I do miss some things I can do with my android, like panorama, HDR, customized EQ for my music, but those are just little things that doesn't equate to a bad phone OS. UI sucks, you can say that. But many friends of mine, including myself, actually like it. It moves from the usual icons. It doesn't offer the same customization capabilities like android or MeeGo, but it does offer more than what iOS does. People app is great, too. Yes, there are bugs, too. But tell me which OS launched with ZERO bugs? Which OS launches with millions of apps? Even android needs some time to gain traction.

The new Pagani Zonda Huayra is made from Carbtanium (Carbon Fibre + Titanium) which is strong and light, how about using that material and show that beautiful kevlar like weeve like the Razr HD/MAXX?

Sorry, the original razor from 2004 was my only favorite from Motorola, ever since their little Alliance with Verizon their phones have sucked, over heating and unable to remove batter, laggy and freeze constantly, never again Motorola

Durable (non-military) phones have always been a Nokia selling point. But this tech (if utilized properly) can bring Nokia to new heights not just in the mobile industry but in a lot of other fields as well (automotive, aerospace, engineering, etc).

Man! This is what Nokia is all about!

some people just use phones for years,most of them don't need to buy new phone every few months or once a year..

12. Nathan_ingx posted on 29 Jan 2013, 03:39 7 0

People who wants to use a phone for more than a month without their backs cracking or bending...i'm giving you a HiNT.

16. darac posted on 29 Jan 2013, 06:47 1 2

OMG I can't believe I got all the red thumbs for saying that I WOULD USE SUCH PHONE FOR YEARS without the need for a new one.

And that would be bad for the maker of the phone.. that's my point!

I'm overestimating the intelligence of people here, it seems.. -.-

I'm overestimating your intelligence too, that I thought you know the beauty of 'choices' :p

i agree, better to make more realistic display, high performance and long battery life phones than to make tough ones .

nokia will never go bankrupt they work on so many things other than phone if their phone section somehow falls they will rise in another section

also what nokia are doing is buying Graphene patents and when they break through other company want that amazing casing etc... they get tons of royalities Bingo

That's my one qualm with Nokia phone design. The curves are great and it durable but they feel so fat. If they could slim down a bit, I'd be a happy camper.

"Samsung is the company with most graphene patents, with 407 in total, a large part of the 1,160 filed by South Korean entities." China has over 2000 patents and US has little over 1700 patents.
