Nokia needs to take off a few articles of clothing

Scoble pointed to the April cover of Wired. I couldn’t agree with it more:

Nokia (NYSE: NOK) can’t be an Internet company if it doesn’t have an official blog. The S60 blogs are a fantastic start, but they are a very small portion of what Nokia is all about.

My fellow bloggers and I know that the money is in the low end, emerging markets, but do regular people understand this?

Who designed the 8800? N95? 6300?

Why does Nokia think Qualcomm (NSDQ: QCOM) is wrong when it comes to their patents?

What does Nokia think about Linux eating away at S60 market share?

Who at Nokia decided to use that Moby song?!

It isn’t a secret that Nokia uses blogs and wikis internally, why not make yourselves a little bit more public?

Tell me with a straight face why a huge, international company, can’t honor the warranty of phones people import?

I imported a Samsung HDTV from Korea via a distributor in New York who I found on a forum based out of California who then shipped it to me in Texas. When my television broke almost a year later, Samsung had no problem sending in an American technician to repair my TV less than 72 hours after I placed a phone call.

Brands are global. The definition of local has changed from who is within walking distance, to who you communicate with on a daily basis regardless of continent.

I hope my Nokia E61 from Finland doesn’t have an accident in the next several months. Good thing I have a Vaja case from Argentina to protect it.
