In recent years Nokia have strayed from making revolutionary phones that shake up the market. When the 3310 was released back in the day, I cant remember any other phone I wanted more.
However after that many other makes of phone took my interest, they were a hell of alot more cutting edge and looked a darn sight better than their Nokia counterparts.
That is ofcourse until the N95 came along, I dont know what it is about it but it looks good. Yes it is a brick, but thats what Nokias are meant to be.
Even in this modern day and age Nokia have still got the right idea, Building the ’slimmest’ phone isnt neccessarily the best. Building a ‘brick’ that has alot more stuff built into it than the competition is better.
Maybe thats the geek in me speaking, but im sure that even the high ranking exectutive on his coffee break likes to listen to a kick ass music player or watch a whole episode of Family Guy to pass the time.
A couple lost in the Scotish highlands that thought it was a good idea to bring as little as possible and forget the map, can just whip out the N95, use the GPS and Sat Nav to get home with relative ease. (more…)
