• Nokia: iPhone is boring

I think when you say Apple doesn't market their iphone to a specific market is wrong. If you read behind the marketing, Apple uses focus groups 20-30 aged people. The reason it's not marketed towards a age/race/gender because the phone is selling without the need of Apple marketing now. While, Android needs this because of the multiple devices they sell, no one device stands out for too long.

@DarkMerchant2222 i think thats back in the old days, look at FaceTime ads, everyone in those ads use that, but ye you might be right to an extent, because the new iPod touch ads are for teens..

I try to differentiate my iphone by buying cases that gives it character and individually

[bdyan1]

Nokia has always had multiple phones for different segments of the market

@DRBUK the iphone isn't boring but it's WAY too basic. no replaceable battery. (what if your battery dies WTF) the screen is just like the white imac. that chin takes away from the length making the screen feel smaller. (this is something basic that you can fix but they won't) no SD card slot which means you're stuck with the space you buy. (thumbs down) not boring but missing the basics........

I don't think Android is complicated at all. I've used Sense on HTC and TouchWiz on Samsung. I think it's just the same. Not much difference from one another.

I sort of agree with you, however they dont seem to be marketing iphones at youthes in their ads, instead making them want ipod touches

And how is iPhone boring?

[vincebrownjr]

Most people I know either own iPhones or Blackberry's. The majority of youth seem to be using Blackberry's purely for BB messaging, and they're not really bothered with owning an iPhone as they don't have the need to use apps as much as iPhone users (who by and large are older) tend to.

Personally, my preference is for the iPhone. I own a 4, I'm not in a hurry to get a 4s, as I want to see what the iPhone 5 offers.

As for Nokia, they've hedged their bets on this new phone...big gamble.

Disillusioned PR speak from Nokia IMO, focus on getting your products game changers before commenting on others! They're wasting valuable time if I'm honest
