- kevyn, on 10/21/2007, -8/+134gotta love nokia for that one - very clever advertising. - but will it actually put anyone off? most people I know who want to buy the iphone, haven't even looked at the cons of the device (but will get a nasty shock later)
- zofo, on 10/21/2007, -9/+123I'm a self confessed Apple fanatic since 20 years but the whole iPhone debacle is seriously killing my enthusiasm for it.
I have an unlocked iPhone (I live in Europe) and the way Apple is treating this whole ordeal is pitiful. I'm seriously thinking of going back to Nokia if they don't get their ***** back in order
No matter how powerful the RDF (Reality Distortion Field) they have this time, they just totally ***** this one up and will have to pull a miracle to get a LOT of dedicated Apple enthusiasts back in line. - aspec, on 10/21/2007, -10/+83Be easy on Toby, education isn't what it used to be.
- neuropsychguy, on 10/10/2007, -15/+80Uh, no. Apple keeping everything pretty tight, actually. :D
You meant losing, not loosing. - NeoRicen, on 10/10/2007, -2/+51Problem is most people (MOST people, not Digg/Engadget reading geeks) A. Probably don't know the iPhone is locked down so hard. B. Wouldn't take advantage of it if it were unlocked C. Don't care that Nokias phone is unlocked.
If Nokia releases a phone even vaguely similar to their iPhone 'rip-off' demo that functions like the iPhone but is as open as other Nokia phones it will be an amazing thing. - chris9902, on 10/10/2007, -4/+40holy *****. Spin that any quicker and it'll take off.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+34I thought I was reading caveman digg for the first 3 comments.
- tobyadams, on 10/10/2007, -60/+86apple are really loosing it recently!!!
- GiggleStick, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26I know. Its teh most rediculous thing I ever saw. They should of stayed in school!
- turpenine, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25The people who don't know the cons aren't going to bother unlocking it. Regardless, most everyone else can live without unlocking it too.
- neuropsychguy, on 10/10/2007, -24/+47This looks like a pretty nice campaign but it is telling if Nokia is attacking the iPhone. That's a sign that Apple has disrupted the mobile phone field and Nokia is worried. If Nokia was not worried they would just ignore Apple.
- Bahimiron, on 10/10/2007, -2/+23Too bad the average person probably has no idea what these ads are referring to. They think their iPhone is just 'omg pretty' and don't really understand what the concept of a locked format really means to them.
- arjie, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19Defiantly! There embarrassing the rest of us internet users.
- mooninite, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19People don't seem to understand what Nokia is advertising.
It's *NOT* the carrier lock they are talking about. It's the fact that you can load whatever application on your Nokia, or change settings to what you see fit.
I swear diggers need to get a lobotomy. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16especially one as bad as this.
- wild, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16I don't understand why lose and losing are misspelled all over the internet. Come on kids, have some dignity. People are actually spelling it like that on purpose!
- MerryMortician, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15That is how it should work (advertising). Great job Nokia!
- noahhoward, on 10/10/2007, -6/+18Nokia admitted they copied the iPhone because they liked it. It is quoted in the same article you are bitching about.
- jrbrewin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12if only apple had the freaking balls to admit all the crap they've copied..
- SirZRX, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12i got an iPhone but if nokia release something better, ill sell my phone and buy a phone that allows me to do WTF i want with it!
- mlostracco, on 10/10/2007, -9/+20All the Nokia phones I've owned have been locked down solid by my carrier. The telcos bear the preponderance of blame; not Apple.
- sdyson, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11It's not funny if you have to explain it...
- turpenine, on 10/15/2007, -4/+15probably should tighten those bitches up.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Is our children loosing out on a good education?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12I'm getting sick of car metaphors...
- psilanthropist, on 10/10/2007, -8/+18i think frustrated is more the word. ever know "that" guy ? the good looking popular guy who has all the brains of a gnat but every girl seems to want to got out with him. that guy is the iphone. and that "other guy" - the guy who doesn't loook as good but is caring and sensitive and smart ? the n95
- Murdats, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12thats the carrier locking the phone, not the phone maker (they do however put the system to lock them into place)
apple however opted to lock the phone, a nokia phone can be used on any network and in most countries you can pay for just the phone and use it however you like, it just usually costs a bit more because the locked phones are subsidised but you have the choice, with apple you dont. - drafhk, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Also, since we're in Grammar Nazi Mode, Apple in this case is singular; it's a company. When you say "Apple," you're referring to the corporation, not the people who comprise it. Thus, "Apple *is* losing *its* mind," or "The people at Apple are losing their minds."
- jazh, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9You can buy nokia phones on all networks pretty much. It's just the network that locks you to that phone.
- noahhoward, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12What a retard, look at their damn phone it IS an iphone clone. They even have a ***** quote from the company saying "we copied the iPhone".
- ghostlywind, on 10/10/2007, -7/+16I like how we pay hundreds of dollars for a product and then we can't do anything we want with them like the ipod and ipod linux all the sudden we weren't allowed to do it.
- noreturn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8According to American grammar. The opposite is true in England.
- cloudyprison, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Hey now, I heard that 'Childrens do learn'.
- noahhoward, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9You kind of knew they didn't want you to do whatever you wanted with it when you paid for it. You want to modify it, fine, but at least understand you are taking a risk and don't whine to the company when you don't like the results.
- mavedatthews85, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10That is rather humorous, I must say.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9No, the anti-campaign does not goes bigger.
Me knows English. - starsky51, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8i think it's pretty obvious why they misspell it. O sounds like oh. OO sounds like ooh.
I'm not saying it's right for them to misspell those words, I'm just saying that English isn't the most intuitive language. - Thud, on 10/10/2007, -12/+19yes! There really loosing they're minds over their in Cupertino.
- drizzlelicious, on 10/10/2007, -5/+11Well if you ever do go back to Nokia, give your iPhone to me
- jbird123, on 11/15/2007, -1/+7Even if Nokia can't help but copy the iPhone interface design in their own future-looking presentations.
when did that happen???
And i cant remember the N95s UI being rubbish... last time i checked it was awesome! You just don't know how to use it.
Nokia Rules (even if there like 10x overpriced :S ) - Kamill85, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9Right, because you cant run 3rd party apps on Nokia phones.. and to put any file or ringtones you need to use Nokias 'nTunes' + pay for everything, get some brain sir.
- MadOtaku, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Did you eat a psychologist?
- noahhoward, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9I understand what a locked format means, now tell me why I should care? Why should I be stupid enough to pay $300 for a phoen then take it to a network where it doesn't have all the features I paid for and I have to pay a fortune for data?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6It will be more wonderful than you can believe it!
- HillerMylife, on 07/24/2008, -5/+10"and will have to pull a miracle to get a LOT of dedicated Apple enthusiasts back in line."
I dunno, everyone I know with an iPhone loves it, and I'd call myself a dedicated Apple enthusiast but I don't really think this will affect my desire for faster, shinier Macbooks. - arjie, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6That's what I've found interesting. Here in India we just buy the phone and slip a SIM card whenever we need another network. This is useful when some providers have better rates in one area. If you're staying in a place for 2-3 weeks it may be worth it to switch your provider temporarily, just remember to store your contacts on the phone rather than the SIM.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6iPhone's brain only has the knowledge it was born with. While the Nokia's brains keeps growing onto larger SD cards and can do more things.
- Tippis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5...except, of course, that you can get them unlocked (legally) at any streetcorner electronics shop, or just buy one without any lock to begin with, and never worry about Nokia screwing you over.
- bat-21, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5All Nokia phones are available unlocked. Apple chose to go with only one carrier and lock all their phones.
- vidar808, on 10/21/2007, -0/+5Apple sucks! You suck! Go play with your little plastic shiny toy.
