Nokia bites the KitKat!!!

All the feel good about Nokia is alright but dont forget the negatives. Eg. Why would Nokia always give subpar specced handsets? The explanation that it is enough does not hold water because that severely limits future upgradability.

And what about the practice of putting selected features into selected handset models but never producing a single model that has it all? Or not having a linearly additive feature set along the price range?

Case in the point N97. Inadequate internal memory preventing much needed software updates.
N8. As much beautiful as it was it could not get full OS updates and had to do with lite versions due to limited internal memory.

The CPU too could be considered a step below par because it did not have much reserve power.

of-course cpu were not powerful enough to run an android os(just an example), the ram was insufficient to run an android. but those specs were enough for symbian os. leave the past. it is long gone. n97& n8 internal memory? what was wrong there?

Well Motorola teamed up with them to work on this project..

If its going to replace Asha series, then it would great, with price of 7-8k........

:+1:

Asha series has overpriced phones IMO. And Nokia advertising them as "smarter" phones just makes it worse.

Only if the rumored Normandy has good optimisation like the Moto G, then it could be a dark horse in Nokia's race to survival in market.

Even if it did turn out to be Android, it may just be following the pattern at Nokia - N9, 808 and then this Normandy ;-)
