What's due is the firing of everyone in the relevant chain of command, from the Marketing VP down to the cameraman. Anyone who had a hand in making or approving that ad. But I suspect that George is right: Nokia is now toast. Except in Finland, they will hardly be missed. Is that young British or American hotshot whom Nokia brought in to run the company a couple of years ago still around? Bob |

The Nokia mobiles that I have owned were the best available at the time. IMHO. I had mostly Nokia's (including one that I left on the roof of my car and drove off. When I drove around a corner it flew to the pavement and exploded into 5 or so pieces. (2 blocks from where I drove off). Snapped the parts together and it worked fine. I had a SonyErikson that was a POS and a BlackBerry for work that was very good. My last cell before the iPhone was also a Nokia. -- "C'mon boys, you're not laying pipe!". -John Keating. |

Which doesn't mean they aren't also stupid. Such conspicuous dishonesty often proves to be profoundly stupid. Actually, what they did is demonstrate the OIS capability. They never intended that as "this is the real camera's output". Hence, the only 'blunder' was the assumption that everyone would KNOW that this was only a synthetic demonstration of the OIS capability (just as the MTF diagrams of Canon lenses are synthetic (computer generated), not measured). Everybody *knows* that advertizing always is on the border of misleading e.g. by not mentioning everything, comparing against the worst possible competitor or circumstances, exaggeration of everything, and so on and so on. Everybody. BTW, an apology is not what's due. What's due is the firing of everyone in the relevant chain of command, from the Marketing VP down to the cameraman. Anyone who had a hand in making or approving that ad. But I suspect that George is right: Nokia is now toast. Except in Finland, they will hardly be missed. So do you agree to commit Seppuku if you ever are wrong in anything? That would only be ethical, given that you expect the equivalent from others. -Wolfgang |

Actually they did change, just not the right change. That ex-Microsoft "young hotshot" recently brought in to run Nokia decided that they obviously needed to go where the future action was going to be, i.e. Microsoft Windows for Mobiles. You get what you pay for. Pity. Their Symbian-based smarthphones were extremely good. -- Chris Malcolm |

Nope, stuck with Symbian far too long IMO, without ever supporting it properly.

And I speak from my experience there, same as many others that made the switch apparently. Trevor. |
