@KADORPI Thanks!

[stefanstroe91]

why is "the saddest part" ? By the way, are there any boat taxis?

[absolon3]

@stefanstroe91 Ah! I meant that it was sad for my dedicated digital camera to be passed up for a phone.

My goodness...hope it dies down before more damage is done. Take care, and STAY SAFE! :P

[absolon3]

@pyeclam LOL You Fool, The Term "Flagship" Means Nothing Its Just A Stupid Title. Its Like "Champion OF THE WORLD" Becoming Champion Doesn't Mean You're The Champion Of The World, Just That 1 Organization.

The N97 May Have Been The Flagship, But It Wasn't The Best Phone Nokia Had To Offer Around That Time, That Was The N900...It Was 10x Better Than The N97 And Im Sure Most People Would Agree.

Yeah I'm Going To My "stoner reviews". MANY Intelligent People Say They Are Very Informative.

[pyeclam]

@07liberian In other words, you're saying Nokia's flagship phone wasn't considered one of the best? Nice. Just keep contradicting yourself. You go from praising Nokia as great, then you dismiss one of their best phones. I'm not sure if I'm dealing with a troll or a fanboy, but it's pointless replying to either. Go back to making "stoner reviews." You're definitely building credibility as an intelligent reviewer. Later.

@pyeclam That's The Best Bad Example Ever, Nobody Ever Regarded The N97 As One Of The Best Smartphones Alongside Anything. Who Told You That Lie ?!

[pyeclam]

@07liberian Globally, it's declining. In the US, Nokia smartphones used to consistently rank as the top 5. Take a look at the N97 for example. It was regarded as one of the best smartphones along side HTC Touch Pro 2. And now they're nowhere to be seen.

@pyeclam U.S. Based Tech Reviewing Sites, Nokia Never Was That Popular In That 1 Country But Globallly Nokia Is A Monster.

[pyeclam]

@07liberian He chose not to use Venue Pro because of its lack of update. Until Mango comes out, it's still missing too many features. Trent's already mentioned how he is only using the N8 for nostalgia's sake -- stop ignoring that fact.

It's true that stock rise and fall, but it's also true Nokia is no longer the top contender. Check out any tech reviewing site. How often do you see Samsung, HTC, Motorola phones being reviewed? On a monthly basis. How often do people even reference Nokia? Never.

[07liberian]

@pyeclam LOL Preferring An Symbian Phone From Last Year That You Say Is Outdated Over A Relatively New WP7 Phone With Almost Double The Specs AND A Physical Keyboard Is Saying A Whole Lot, You Are Just Choosing Not To Accept It To Keep Your Point.But Whatever!

Stocks Raise And Fall All The Time In Companies, Doesn't Change The Fact That Nokia Is STILL The One Of The Top If Not The Top Phone Manufacturer In The World, RIM (Blackberry) Is Nowhere Near That So IDK Why You Even Brought Them Up.

[pyeclam]

@07liberian He just said he had no intention of using it outside of nostalgia's sake. Preference of the N8 over a Dell Venue Pro doesn't say much. N8 is a flagship phone; Venue Pro is not. I pointed out the CPU because it's outdated already upon launch. Pretty much the same tactics Blackberry has been using (except of late), and they're both going down the tubes. Stocks are dropping on both because of their inability to compete. What N8 offers is nostalgia and a shiny camera -- woopty doo.
