I must say I'm quite amazed by Nokia's latest offering. 2000 mAh battery with WIRELESS CHARGING along with amazing camera is something to be massively impressed with. Quad-core Snapdragon S4 CPU is fast as hell and the platform Windows 8 is a great choice.
The best thing about this is how effective the platform can be for developers. You get to use Visual Studio (one of the best IDE's in the world, in my honest opinion) and you get the good audience (rich smartphone uses with not as much competition as iPhone or Android). It is truly great opportunity for developers.
Apple didn't even come close to "inventing the smart phone" as if it were a complete thing unto itself. They didn't invent the touchscreen, the computer processor, they didn't invent operating systems, they didn't invent wireless data transfer or cellular communications.
What they did was take existing tech and combine it in a new way. Not to denigrate apple's achievements; they're phenomenal. But the things they're claiming to "own" aren't really the things that allowed the smartphone revolution to occur.
That's why I think Nokia will win this battle.
But back to the features - on top of it all you get amazing battery, amazing camera, and amazing camera software and off-line navigation. Not to mention large, quality screen and good keyboard.
I must say I'm impressed. Well played, Nokia, well played. I can't wait to get my hands on this baby.
