Nokia is Losing Fanboys

image In a word Symbian sucks. It’s spectacular in it’s suckiness, so much so that even the most public of fanboys are abandoning them.

I can’t continue to support a manufacturer who puts out such craptastic ‘flagships’ as the N97, and who expects me to use services that even most of Nokia’s own employees don’t use. I also can’t continue to support a mobile operating system platform that continually buries itself into oblivion by focusing on ‘openness’ while keeping a blind eye towards the obvious improvements that other open platforms have had for several iterations.
