Comment Re:Audi have been doing this for years (Score 1) 521

As somebody else mentioned, the Land Rover has been going for about 70 years and was mainly made out of aluminium because Rover wanted more steel to produce their cars. Producing a vehicle for foreign markets was one way to get a bigger allowance of steel. They weren't that keen on selling Rovers abroad at the time, but producing an aluminium vehicle for sale abroad meant they could use the steel allowance on their Rovers...

Whereas what they probably should have done is looked at making more of their Rovers out of aluminium

As far as I can tell Nokia is still coming out with good kit. The latest Windows Phone OS is meant to be a fairly good product, even though I personally dislike the interface. I'm much happier with an Android phone, but if for example I were a photographer, I would look at the Nokia phone range. I know a phone can't compete with a dedicated camera, but it seems Nokia is as close as it gets.
