This post is titled Umm... What the fuck? by author SoulJah. Nokia Neo - mobile phone with ipod-usability

Sunday, 21 November 2004

Regarding so many rumors about a new nokia music phone, we decided to publish some information of the upcoming phone. Unfortunately, we have to disappoint you because there will be no build-in harddisc as mentioned in many forums. The Nokia Neo has a SD/MMC-Card expansion slot (below the backcover) like most other nokias. The internal memory is about 7 MB.

So, there are no facts which make the neo a music phone. In our opinion the usability badly disappoints. The navigation wheel which might be cool and functional for an apple ipod is simply tremendous for a mobile phone. Entering a phone number is quite ok but wait till you compase a new SMS ... take some vacation.


Right then... Ok it looks helluva cool, but unless that SMS thing can be resolved, I doubt anyone sane would go for this. Unless they employ the same text input system found in the game Killzone, or they can wondrously incorporate voice recognition for SMS composing... Yeah... Unlikely... And the only thing that makes this worthwhile to purchase is if they include a 2 Gig MMC (Yes, they're gonna come out with that by the end of the year methinks. No, not from Nokia.)
