Nokia knocks off iPhone and the amazing power of Social Networking.

It reminds me a little of a show way back when called “Agter elke man” (Behind every man). When Steve Hofmeyr was Bruce and Dulcie van der Berg was Auntie Stienie who always loved to gossip stories she’s heard through a network ten times adapted… Anyway! Wezzo twitted a link to Engadget this morning of Nokia’s latest “invention”. Yes folks, the Nokia iPhone!

Now, I’ve always been a great fan of Nokia. The first phone I ever had was a Nokia. Tried a bunch of others, but in the end always switched back the next upgrade to a Nokia. I guess I’m used to their way of doing and presenting things and it works best for me. Now with this iPhone like phone coming out next year (which means we’ll probably see it in two years time) I’m a bit flustered! I’m definitely going to invest in an iPhone when it hits our shores. I’m an Apple Zealot (beeg verry beeg fan!) and I spend most my life lately in front of it stress testing (unintentionally) the living crap out my Mac, so yeah, I would definitely get an iPhone. At least this will give me the option that if I in some bizzare way don’t find the iPhone working for me very well (can it even make calls?! just checking…) I can convert back to a Nokia offering the same intuitive user interface.

I’m a bit dissappointed that it looks soooo much like a knock-off. At least Nokia could have changed the casing of the phone! It looks like they have taken an iPhone, scraped off the iPhone logo and sticked a Nokia logo on there! Ouch! What a why to obtain a Dolly label…

Oh well… Wait and see we must…

  Yeah, Nokia has spent how many years building phones, compared to Apples single release. I think I may just go with Nokia on this one.

Spit it out!
