“Oh, a phone call…NOBODY MOVE!!”

So Nokia, you’ve spent all this time in the shadows, knocking out phone after phone with the same styling cues as the iPhone 3g…

…AND THEN SUDDENLY!



“Don’t want to answer? Screen that call with a simple flick. The Kinect will then bounce down to the table. After that, thanks to an electromagnet in the base, it rights itself for the next caller. Functional and stress relieving, all in one.”



Oh, its an iPhone 4 with a tumor, an impossibly thin bezel and probably an annoyingly good antenna.

Whilst it may look nice in rendered land, the place where finger prints and dust don’t exist and even the pavement is shiny, meanwhile back in reality town, the sheer idea of rejecting calls by tripping an accelerometer is completely absurd, no matter which dialect of Finnish you’re speaking.

Honestly, are they trying to compete with the iPhone 4 for the stupidest reason to miss a call?
No longer will it be

“Hang on, I got a call….Shit! I touched it with my left hand”

No, the new game in town is

“Oh, a phone call…NOBODY MOVE!!”

Seriously Nokia, I know that Apple might hold the helm of the good ship progress, but that doesn’t mean we should all walk through the same tracks in the snow….or even a slightly more boat related analogy…
Learn from each others victories and mistakes. Examine properly why the iPhone has been so successful and don’t just assume that it is down to Apple fan-boyism or a superficial aesthetic appeal.
Apple themselves have admitted that they’re not perfect, it is no longer acceptable for you and other phone companies alike to produce “alternatives” to the iPhone, hoping to pray on the fish that choose to swim outside or are too slow to keep up with shoal.
