It's interesting that somebody finally admits this:

"That's what San Diego has been helpful in doing. Sometimes we'd submit a phone for testing at a carrier and it wouldn't meet specifications. Somehow what they were asking for from us here in the U.S. got lost in translation when it made it China or Espoo (Finland) or wherever the device was developed or manufactured."

Nokia has moved product development to cheap labor countries for years already. I wonder how much it has cost them money and delayed devices so far..

This is why my Nokia 5730 XM could be my last phone. It's a decent phone, but it lacks 'snappiness' of other phones out there. The fact that buying a Nokia phone now a days is like 'buying a box of chocolates' (Forrest Gump reference for the 'non-US peeps').

My very first cell phone was a Nokia, as was my second. I tried out a Sony, LG and Samsung and I could not 'get into' those brand names' OS variants. However, they were snappy (fast). But there was always something they couldn't do that any Nokia could.

I'm at a point now where I don't know what I will get. Maybe next time I will get an HTC Android phone or some kind of Android phone next. I'm at my wits end with Nokia these days.
